This month we dig into what’s literally powering the global energy transition. The demand for critical minerals has taken on new impetus for countries, corporations and consumers worldwide, and Africa is hoping to cash in. We look at how some African nations are trying to take back control of their natural resources, and what else needs to be done to harness the full potential of the continent’s critical minerals. We also bring you a roundup of the top stories from east, west and southern Africa, including Ethiopia unlocking funding from the World Bank and IMF, protests in Nigeria against the cost of living and why South Africa’s ANC party has expelled its former leader, Jacob Zuma.
