Description
The complex web of hostilities in the Horn deepen as Egyptian troops prepare to enter Somalia on peacekeeping duties. Ethiopia makes clear its opposition. Some are warning of a coming proxy war fuelled by Ethio-Egyptian animosity. We get the views of Mogadishu-based journalist MOHAMMED SHEIKH NOR. How would a second Trump administration deal with Africa? A question for former Trump Africa ambassador J.PETER PHAM. Nigerians always have something to say about their president's comings and goings. Just back from China and a royal rendezvous at Buckingham Palace, PRESIDENT TINUBU is getting under the skin of his country men and women for his 'imperial style' and the size of his presidential convoys. DONU explains. And PATRICK reveals details of his misspent youth as he heartily welcomes the launch of the iconic US magazine, ROLLING STONE's new edition devoted to African music and culture.
