Changing geopolitics are in focus as France's Macron kicks off Kenya visit for an Africa summit

French President Emmanuel Macron has kicked off a visit to Kenya ahead of the Africa Forward Summit, a gathering meant to showcase France's new policy for the continent, shifting from a former colonial power to a partnership of equals. The summit, held for the first time in an Anglophone country, is expected to draw reactions to France's withdrawal of troops from West Africa.
