Fractious relations between Africa and Europe are threatening the potential for substantive progress at the upcoming UN COP27 climate summit in Egypt, according to a report by the Africa Europe Foundation.

UK becomes the first sponsor of the continent's climate adaptation
On the third day of COP27, the UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that the United Kingdom would triple its climate adaptation funding for Africa, increasing from £500 million in 2019 to £1.5 billion by 2025. This announcement was made during a meeting of the Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program (PAAA).
Shabaab ‘is losing ground’ says President Mohamud
Somali forces ended a 20-hour siege by al-Shabaab at the Villa Rays hotel in Mogadishu, resulting in 14 deaths. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, reaffirming his commitment to a 'total war' against the militants, emphasizes the importance of the Somali people's support in combating terrorism. He asserts that fear, rather than belief in al-Shabaab's cause, has driven some Somalis to align with the group.
Sudan: As ceasefire falters, could the country be headed for Libyan-style partition?
The ceasefire between Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Armed Forces, brokered by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, was violated within 24 hours of its announcement. The conflict continues in the capital and surrounding areas, with international efforts underway to establish a sustainable cessation of hostilities and return Sudan to a civilian-led government transition.
Eve Bazaïba Masudi: 'The DRC has oil under its feet, why not exploit it?'
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is considering exploiting its oil resources despite environmental concerns, particularly from Western countries. Eve Bazaïba Masudi, the vice-Prime Minister of the DRC, argues that the country needs to develop its resources for economic growth. The recent COP27 highlighted the gap between renewable energy goals and available resources, with a focus on utilizing existing resources like oil and gas to boost African economies.
Shabaab making drought even worse, says President Mohamud
Somalia is facing a severe drought that is being exacerbated by the actions of the Islamist terrorist group Al-Shabaab, according to President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. Speaking at the COP27 climate conference, Mohamud highlighted how Al-Shabaab's interference in rural areas is undermining the agricultural practices of Somali farmers. Kenya is preparing for an influx of refugees from Somalia due to the worsening conditions, but President Mohamud has not yet declared a famine, which could potentially increase aid flow.
COP27: BNI, Ecobank... involved in AfDB's 'green bank' project
COP27 is highlighted as a pivotal conference for Africa, focusing on climate change adaptation and mitigation. The African Development Bank (AfDB) is spearheading a green banking initiative, collaborating with national banks like Ecobank Senegal, BNI Côte d'Ivoire, and CIB Egypt. Audrey Yamadjako from AfDB emphasizes the continent's proactive solutions, moving away from reliance on Western funding. The project aims to attract private investments for sustainable projects, with official announcements expected by the end of COP27.
UK triples its pledges for Africa’s climate adaptation projects
The UK has announced a significant increase in its funding for climate adaptation projects in Africa, tripling its commitment to the Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program (AAAP) from £500 million in 2019 to £1.5 billion by 2025. This move positions the UK as a major contributor to the program. However, the article suggests that financial contributions alone are insufficient without addressing trade policy issues. Key figures involved include UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and James Cleverly, the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs.
