Macron Meets African Leaders in Kenya, Gachagua Protests

French President Emmanuel Macron is seeking dialogue with Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo during a meeting with African leaders in Kenya. The visit aims to move France beyond its colonial ties to the continent. Kenya's former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has sent a message to Macron and UN Secretary-General António Guterres, calling his host, President William Ruto, Kenya's greatest threat. Meanwhile, former Kenyan official Anne Waiguru apologized to Mt Kenya residents over Gachagua's impeachment. An Egyptian ambassador also highlighted Egypt-Kenya ties as strategic for continental development.
