[Africa CEO Forum @africaceoforum]

🎭 The creative industries are not entertainment. They are an economy. From the main stage of the Africa CEO Forum Annual Summit in Kigali, Hon. @XandrineUmutoni, Rwanda's Minister of State for Youth and Arts, reframed an industry too often relegated to the margins of African economic strategy.

📜 Her playbook rests on four pillars Rwanda has been actively building. First, the enabling policy environment, with intellectual property protection at its core, without ownership of what creatives produce, the same capital keeps circulating to the same gatekeepers, and wealth never compounds for the artists themselves.

🎓 Second, human capital development across the entire value chain. Not just the talent on stage, but the managers who can read a contract beyond their 10%, the lawyers fluent in IP law, the educators shaping curricula aligned with the labour market, and the technicians whose invisible work makes any cultural product professional.

🏛️ Third, infrastructure that is both physical and digital, and that carries cultural identity by design. Her question to the room was direct. Are African office buildings, conference centres and public venues being built so that the moment you walk in, you know you are in Rwanda, Kenya or Nigeria? Cultural identity, embedded in the architecture itself, is now part of how the continent should think infrastructure.

🌍 Underpinning the entire ambition is one persistent continental obstacle she named without hesitation. Visa frictions for African creatives moving across African borders to showcase their work. The single most concrete blocker to a pan-African creative economy.

When Allyson Felix became pregnant, Nike threatened to cut her sponsorship contract by almost 70% because of her pregnancy.

They told her:

“You should know your place… and just run.”

Amid all this, at seven months pregnant, Allyson had to undergo an emergency C-section due to a serious complication.

Her baby girl spent over a month in the neonatal intensive care unit.

But two years later, Allyson qualified for her fifth Olympic Games, with her daughter in the stands cheering her on.

Allyson left Nike.

And she founded her own shoe brand: Saysh One.

At the Tokyo Olympics, she ran wearing her own sneakers, carrying the motto:

“I know exactly where my place is.”

With 11 medals, she surpassed Carl Lewis and became the most decorated American track and field athlete in history.

And to all women, she gave this message:

“I raised my voice and built this company for you, so that you’ll never have to train at 4:30 in the morning, five months pregnant, just to hide it from your sponsor.” ❤️

The operational instruments of the African Continental Free Trade Area are turning the Agreement into action.

Today, we focus on Rules of Origin the criteria that determine whether a product is genuinely made in Africa and eligible for #AfCFTA preferences. They help protect the free trade area, promote local manufacturing, and strengthen regional value chains.

In simple terms, they ensure African trade benefits African industries, jobs, and growth.

A fine thinker, public intellectual, and an excellent journalist who wrote many drafts of history and offered sharp opinions through his column in and works at the @DailyMonitor. My brother and friend @Kalinaki has been the finest of his lot and generation.

As you retire from your role at the @DailyMonitor, I wish you all the very best in your next undertaking. I pray you keep your column and your role as a public intellectual.

For now, I celebrate you. Your tenacity, sharp mind, pen, and commitment to the public & especially the poor, has improved us all.

A high tech US factory turns banana leaves into organic fertilizer pellets using automated systems, and studies show this natural solution can boost rice yields by 20 to 30 percent while reducing chemical fertilizer use 🌱

This 3,400-acre offgrid campus in Rwanda 🇷🇼 was built by 2,500 people from the earth beneath it.

Most people think building with earth means small, temporary, or weak.

This is a 2-storey, 69-building campus.

Built with rammed earth and earth blocks made from soil dug on site, strengthened to last and resist earthquakes.

Here is what that looks like:

• No artificial lighting during the day
• Thick walls that regulate temperature
• Mostly naturally ventilated spaces
• Runs entirely on solar, producing 1.5MW of power
• Wastewater is treated and reused for irrigation

But the architecture goes beyond performance.

• 90% of the workforce was local
• 96% of materials were sourced within Rwanda
• 90% of the budget stayed within 500 miles of the site

• Stone from local quarries reduced concrete use.
• Roofs were built with timber and terracotta tiles fired using agricultural waste.

This is not just sustainable design.

It is economic design.
It is design that works with nature.
It is design shaped by people and place.

Architecture that builds with people, not just for them.

Local materials are not a limitation. They scale. They perform. They work.

[African Union ECOSOCC @AU_ECOSOCC]

History has been made at the @UN!

The UN General Assembly has adopted #Ghana’s resolution declaring slavery as the gravest crime committed against humanity.

This places history in legal language and opens the door to something that has long been avoided: a structured global process on #reparations. It creates a pathway, through dialogue, negotiation, and potential legal mechanisms, for how reparations can be addressed at a global level.

This did not happen in isolation.

It reflects years of work across the @_AfricanUnion, @CARICOMorg, and a broader coalition of states from the Global South pushing the same question forward: If a harm was global, structured, and lasted centuries, can repair also be global and structured?

With this resolution, that question is no longer rhetorical. The infographic breaks down the resolution step by step and explains why it is a historic moment for reparatory justice.
