Mozambique’s coastline is rich in coastal and marine biodiversity, with several areas of outstanding ecological and biological importance, including Africa’s second-most extensive mangrove forest. Unfortunately, human action endangers the health and resilience of all these ecosystems.

Extreme precipitation could have disproportionately negative consequences on poverty levels in Africa south of the Sahara, including reducing food availability and agricultural income, and increasing commodity prices. Unexpectedly, dry spells seem to have a comparatively uncertain impact on welfare conditions.

Stories had long been simmering about Cambridge Analytica’s association with illicit data harvesting, but why would a company associated with a US presidential election or a vote on the future of the European Union be involved in a general election in an African country?

It is an important harbinger of things to come that the 11th BRICS Summit – which recently concluded in Brasilia – barely registered in the collective consciousness of India’s foreign policy elite.

Our senior researcher, Dr Cobus van Staden, along with veteran Asia-based journalist Eric Olander, host a regular podcast on China's engagement across Africa. Recent episodes looked at the rise of Chinese private sector investment in Africa; surging Chinese demand for donkey hides pushing the animal’s population in Africa to the brink of collapse; and the launch of the most recent phase of the Chinese-funded standard gauge railway in Kenya.
