From Donald Trump’s fiery turn at the United Nations General Assembly to Malawi’s contested elections exposing cracks in African democracy, this week captures the chaos and resilience shaping the continent. In Tokyo, African athletes like Joshua Cheptegei and Faith Kipyegon bring glory with record-breaking performances at the World Athletics Championships, proving once again that Africa remains a powerhouse in global sport.
But it’s not just politics and sport—Africa is also standing at the edge of a technological revolution. With the African Union eyeing a $2.9 trillion AI-driven economy, questions arise: Can Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, and Egypt harness artificial intelligence to leapfrog development, or will Big Tech and foreign powers dominate the future?
It’s a week of spectacle and surprise, weaving together Trump, Tokyo, and technology—where politics collides with sport, and Africa’s future is written at the intersection of power, innovation, and resilience.
