The issue leads with a detailed analysis of President Félix Tshisekedi’s strategy for leveraging Democratic Republic of Congo’s huge resource base, to cater for the needs of one of the world’s fastest-growing populations. The feature looks behind investor enthusiasm to question claims of progress, and analyses a dizzying range of political, security and financial challenges.

Power coverage includes our take on the expected completion later this year of the 400kV Mozambique-Malawi (Moma) transmission interconnection project after a five-month demining process along its Mozambican route.

Upstream coverage focuses on developments in the north-west Africa Atlantic margin with features analysing Shell and BP’s latest moves in Mauritania and Senegal and Chariot Energy’s ambitions to open up a new gas province in Morocco.

In Future Fuels we examineChariot's hopes of producing the world’s cheapest hydrogen in Mauritania and also report on CWP Global’s opening of the Horn of Africa as a green hydrogen hot spot.

The ESG section looks at the murder of anti-corruption radio journalist Martinez Zogo and what it says about governance in President Paul Biya’s Cameroon.
