Can Macron’s Kenya visit revive French influence in Africa?

France's President Emmanuel Macron hosted a high-level meeting in Nairobi, Kenya, alongside Kenyan President William Ruto. The conference marked France's first Africa summit in an English-speaking country, as Paris seeks to redefine its role in Africa due to strained relations with French-speaking West African countries. Macron announced a significant investment in African countries, particularly in energy, artificial intelligence, and culture, but the move was overshadowed by online backlash over his actions at the summit.
