The UAE and Africa: Investment or Influence?

With China scaling back its African investments, the UAE has stepped in, becoming the fourth-largest investing bloc on the continent. The UAE's expanding influence on the African continent has left investment, geopolitics, and conflict in its wake. From renewable energy and mining to humanitarian aid and allegations of fueling conflict, the UAE’s actions raise questions about the fine line between opportunity and exploitation. We unpack the billions pledged in infrastructure and development, the impact on countries like Sudan, Ethiopia, and Tanzania, and the complexities of foreign influence in Africa's future.
