What happened

Ahead of the second day of the Africa Forward summit, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that it had raised 23 billion euros in investment on the continent.

Why it matters

As France pitches a 'partnership of equals' with African countries, it aims to distance itself from its neocolonial past.

Common ground

This comes as it completes a military withdrawal from West African countries, which has been seen as a sign of its declining influence on the continent.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Glittering Generalities: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
