Around thirty African heads of state and government, along with more than 3,000 delegates, are gathering in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi on May 11 and 12 for the Africa Forward Summit at the invitation of France and Kenya.
The gathering is meant to showcase France’s new policy for the continent – a shift from a former colonial power seen as dominating, to what Paris describes as a partnership of equals.
