🌍⚡ **Africa is rich in oil and gas resources, so why do many African countries still depend on imported fuels and expensive energy supplies?** On **#AfricaUpdate**, Channel Africa examines one of the continent's biggest energy challenges: **how Africa can use more of its own energy resources to strengthen domestic energy security, support industrial development and reduce dependence on international markets.** Reporting from **African Energy Week 2026 in Cape Town**, economics reporter **Innocent Semosa** speaks to **Thomas Bonnetain, Oil and Gas Industries Director for Africa at Africa Global Logistics (AGL)**, about the role of oil and gas production in addressing Africa's energy needs. Despite being a major producer and exporter of energy resources, several African economies remain dependent on imported petroleum products and face high energy costs. At African Energy Week, discussions are focusing on how domestic production, energy infrastructure and investment can help African countries improve energy access, strengthen electricity generation and reduce their vulnerability to global supply disruptions. **In this conversation, we explore:** - Why Africa exports energy resources while importing expensive fuels - The challenges facing Africa's oil and gas industries - How domestic oil and gas production could strengthen energy security - The role of natural gas in supporting electricity generation - Africa's dependence on international energy markets - How global supply disruptions affect African economies - The importance of energy infrastructure, logistics and investment - Opportunities to strengthen African energy industries and supply chains - How energy development could support industrialisation and economic growth The discussion forms part of **African Energy Week 2026**, which brings together policymakers, investors, energy companies and development institutions to explore opportunities across Africa's energy sector. **The central question is whether Africa can move beyond exporting its energy resources and build the infrastructure and industries needed to benefit more directly from them.** 🎙️ **Reporter:** Innocent Semosa, Channel Africa Economics Reporter 👤 **Guest:** Thomas Bonnetain, Oil and Gas Industries Director for Africa, Africa Global Logistics (AGL) 📍 **Location:** African Energy Week 2026, Cape Town, South Africa 📻 **Programme:** Africa Update | Channel Africa 📅 **Broadcast:** 13 October 2026 Subscribe to Channel Africa for more African economic news, energy industry insights and conversations about the developments shaping the continent. #AfricaUpdate #AfricanEnergyWeek #EnergySecurity Lightbox link for post with description 🌍⚡ **Africa is rich in oil and gas ...

🇨🇩 **Is former DRC President Joseph Kabila positioning himself for a return to political power, and what could his reported alliance with rebel leaders mean for the country's stability?** On **#AfricaUpdate**, Channel Africa speaks to **independent political analyst Jean Donald Taladzi** about reports that former Democratic Republic of Congo President **Joseph Kabila** has launched a new political-military coalition known as the **Front pour la Refondation de la Nation (FRN)**. The coalition is reportedly intended to replace the **AFC-M23 alliance**, which has been fighting government forces in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. According to reports, Kabila will lead the new coalition, with prominent rebel figures **Corneille Nangaa, Bertrand Bisimwa, Freddy Kaniki and Sultani Makenga** serving as deputies. Congolese authorities have repeatedly accused Kabila of supporting AFC-M23, which seized territory in eastern Congo during an offensive in 2025. **Kabila has denied involvement with the rebel alliance.** **In this conversation, we examine:** - The reported formation of the Front pour la Refondation de la Nation (FRN) - Joseph Kabila's role in the new political-military coalition - The involvement of prominent AFC-M23 rebel leaders - Why the coalition is reportedly intended to replace AFC-M23 - The allegations against Kabila and his denial of involvement - What the development could mean for the political landscape in the DRC - The implications for the ongoing conflict in eastern Congo - Whether the coalition signals an attempt by Kabila to regain political influence The development comes amid continuing political and security challenges in the DRC, raising questions about the relationship between armed movements, political power and efforts to restore stability. **Could this reported alliance reshape the DRC's political landscape, or further complicate efforts to resolve the conflict in eastern Congo?** 🎙️ **Programme:** Africa Update | Channel Africa 👤 **Guest:** Jean Donald Taladzi, Independent Political Analyst 🌍 **Focus:** Democratic Republic of Congo 📅 **Broadcast:** 13 October 2026 Subscribe to Channel Africa for more political analysis, interviews and coverage of developments shaping the African continent. #AfricaUpdate #DRC #JosephKabila Lightbox link for post with description 🇨🇩 **Is former DRC President Joseph Kabila...
