Eight young artists in Lagos blend influences of Japanese anime, American photography and Brazilian football through a distinctly Nigerian lens. How will the effects of globalisation continue to affect the output of this new generation of artists?

Acclaimed Ugandan scholar Mahmood Mamdani offers a deeply personal and unflinching account of his experience in the nation. In his new book, the author connects Amin's legacy directly to Uganda under Yoweri Museveni, asking uncomfortable questions about what has truly changed. How much of Amin's Uganda lives on through Museveni's?

Kenya and France’s Africa Forward Summit comes at a pivotal moment. Africa's position in global governance is rising. Economic shifts, demographic trends and climate pressures are drawing the continent to the core of global policy discussions. The continent brings a young workforce, growing markets and resources central to global supply chains. The question is whether global partners will finally match words with action. What does a truly equal partnership between Africa and the West look like?

African countries have embassies in the world's most important capitals, boasting prime locations and a physical presence that signals sovereignty and status. Yet, in the digital spaces where investors form views, policymakers assess risk, and narratives about entire economies and societies are shaped daily, many African nations are nowhere to be found. Are countries that don't shape how they are understood ceding valuable ground they may never get back?

How much of Africa's present can only be understood by exploring its past? Adéwálé Májà-Pearce's 'Shine Your Eye' takes us on a journey linking colonial violence, the complicity of African elites in the slave trade, the unchecked warlords of Liberia and Sierra Leone, and a new generation of military leaders who are celebrated as saviours.

The world has a leadership crisis. Corruption, mismanagement, and the erosion of public trust have consequences for everything from climate to conflict. A new generation of African institutions are rethinking how leaders are built on a values-driven, context-specific, and outcome-focused foundation. Is this the new pipeline for ethical global leadership?

In May 2025, Britain signed an agreement recognising Mauritian sovereignty over the Chagos Islands – but has not yet ratified the decision in Parliament. Is this international law in action, or political opportunism?

Having overseen a rapidly rising number of disease outbreaks in recent years, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention ( @AfricaCDC ), under its Director-General, Dr Jean Kaseya, has entered a new era of high-intensity, high-stakes public health leadership. As global experts warn that rising health emergencies and systemic vulnerabilities in under-resourced regions, including across Africa, increase the likelihood of future pandemics, even as foreign aid declines, Kaseya’s mission has never been more critical. He has pushed Africa CDC to innovate, overseeing new financing mechanisms, expanding partnerships, and elevating the institution’s visibility on the global stage. Maintaining direct and continuous engagement with African Heads of State, Kaseya has championed a bolder, more communicative Africa CDC, one that shapes public health narratives rather than merely reacting to crises. In 2025, he stands out as a leader with the experience and institutional authority required to navigate an era defined by constant and evolving health threats. @Dr_JeanKaseya
