FM Gideon Timotheos opening the London Stock Exchange after making a poignant speech is yet one more sign Ethiopia is indispensable to the UK’s interests in Africa. They know we hold the keys, but we’ll let them pretend otherwise for their own ego.🤔🤔

@DanielsonKassa1 Big moment for East Africa. H.E. Dr. Gedion Timotheos opening the London Stock Exchange isn't just symbolic, it links Ethiopia’s rapid financial modernization #ESX directly with global capital hubs. The region is positioning itself as a central player in global trade and finance.

H.E. Wamkele Mene, Secretary-General of the AfCFTA Secretariat, participated in a working lunch with The Honourable Anita Anand, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada, focused on strengthening Africa–Canada trade and investment relations within a changing global economic environment.
Discussions underscored the importance of diversified supply chains, rules-based trade, and stronger economic partnerships amid growing global economic fragmentation.
The engagement recognised the AfCFTA as a strategic framework for advancing industrialisation, investment, and intra-African trade, while creating opportunities for deeper Canada–Africa economic cooperation across sectors including manufacturing, critical minerals, digital trade, energy, infrastructure, SMEs, women, and youth.
The meeting also highlighted the importance of translating the AfCFTA and Canada–Africa Strategy into practical and mutually beneficial outcomes through structured collaboration and investment-led partnerships.

H.E. Wamkele Mene today received a delegation from the African Private Sector Summit (APSS), led by Dr. Lucy Newman for a productive engagement on advancing private sector-led implementation of the AfCFTA.

Key areas of discussion included:
👉 collaboration across key continental platforms, including IATF, Biashara Afrika, AU Summits, and AfCFTA institutional meetings
👉 progress on the vetting and validation of the Private Sector Bill of Rights (PSBoR)
👉 the proposed establishment of a Pan-African CEO Compact
👉 advancing critical enablers of intra-African trade, including the movement of people

As Africa builds its single market, the priority remains clear:

👉 moving from dialogue to delivery—with the private sector at the centre of the process.

Jebel Ali is not just a port… it is a gateway connecting Dubai to the world.
And JAFZA was not built merely to serve trade, but to make the UAE a vital hub for global commerce and supply chains. 🇦🇪

From just 19 companies at the start to more than 10,000 today…
That is how global centers are built.

The Institute of Foreign Affairs hosts Jeffrey D. Sachs, Professor at Columbia University and President of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, for a high-level public lecture themed “Realizing African Development Potential in a Multipolar World.”

𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐈: 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐫 𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐲 & 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚’𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐭𝐲

The lecture continues with an analysis of imperial decline and post-war geopolitics reshaping Africa and the Global South.

🔷 European dominance rested on industrial superiority and colonial repression—but collapsed after two self-destructive world wars.

🔷 By 1945, financial exhaustion shifted global power to the United States; tools like Lend‑Lease accelerated the decline of the British Empire.

🔷 Decolonization followed—uneven and often violent—as weakened European states struggled to retain influence in Africa and Asia.
