For an arrangement that is underpinned by affordable intra-African travel, the super league should be the test case for the freedom of movement clause under the #ACFTA. African airlines and CAF will need to combine their influence to get it done. qz.com/a-super-league…

Its ironic that a government hell bent on improving FDI inflows from the west continue to do this. Regardless of where you fall on question of free expression, curtailing these human rights would cause #Ghana to lose its AGOA benefits, and push manufacturers to look elsewhere

1 yr after the #BidenAdministration's Inflation Reduction Act became law, a global green revolution has ensued. But a provision in the law incentivizing domestic manufacturing has cut out large swathes of Africa from the global supply chain. foreignpolicy.com/2023/08/03/afr…

For his part, Ruto's government has diligently worked in partnership with USTR to complete the negotiations on the STIP, but he views the agreement as a placeholder for a FTA.
