Italy targets energy, migration with ‘non-predatory’ plan for Africa • RFI English

Miss Malone’s uh presentation is basically she talks about how this plan is non-predatory non-paternalistic and also non-charitable either it’s about looking at Italy and Africa as equal Partners at least that’s how she puts it now today uh we expect to see some 50 heads of government and state from

Africa as well as EU leaders including the commission and Council presidents uh leaders of the UN agencies of the World Bank and the IMF all gathered at the Senate today to discuss about this approach it’s important to remember that Italy is holding the presidency of the

G7 and Maloney for her part has said that Africa will be front and center of that presidency this year and this is the big kickoff of her so-called dubbed mate plan now mate because it’s named after um enrio mate he’s the founder of Italy’s energy giant any in the 1950s

Now exactly how it’s going to work we’ll find out the details but in essence it’s about Italy serving as a Transit hub for African energy uh while stimulating investment in an effort to curb illegal migration across the Mediterranean of course uh therefore there’s that political element as you also alluded to

Uh Miss Malone’s uh far-right Brothers of Italy party uh saying when they came in they wanted to curb immigration but we saw the numbers increase in 2023 as opposed to 2022 in terms of uh migrants coming from Africa uh to the European continent now they’ll be discussing various issues such as cooperation in

The economic sphere infrastructure food security as well as migration but of course a lot about energy that really is the focus here uh tapping into those African resources uh for uh Europe

African leaders gathered in Rome on Monday for a summit on Italy’s plan for boosting development on the continent and turning Italy into an energy hub, while also curbing migration to Europe.

  3. It is a joke! African leaders never fail to disrespect themselves by turning up to this kind of summit! Italy is a failed state, its economy is run by the maffia!

    Italy is a corrupt with a bankrupt economy! so what is there to talk about?

    It is embarrassing to look Adrian leaders called one by one like school children !

    When will the A.U stop this nonsense?!

    Africa doesn’t need the west, it is time to move on and trade with each other, it is rich continent! we don’t need the racist west ! welcome everyone else who want to trade in good faith with mutual respect.

    America and Europe are in terminal decline, we don’t need them they need us! but we are not interested! trade with everyone else but them !
