As the Africa Forward summit concluded in Nairobi, FRANCE 24 sat down with Kenya's President William Ruto. For him, the summit was "significant" after French President Emmanuel Macron announced investments in Africa in areas such as the energy transition, digital and AI. Ruto also discussed the war in Sudan, refuting claims that he is siding with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). "Both SAF (the Sudanese Armed Forces) and RSF are cut from the same cloth," he said. "And they have taken the country to the dogs, so to speak".
