Dozens of African heads of state are attending the Paris Summit on Africa.
Among the Presidents attending are Nigeria’s Muhammadu Buhari, and Ghana’s Nana Akufo-Addo.
French President, Emmanuel Macron, is hosting the summit.
Among other things, the summit set to begin on Tuesday, May 18, 2021, will aim to help Sudan into a new era and to fill a financing shortfall of almost $300 billion caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Chiefs of global financial institutions are also expected to attend the twin summit meetings.
Today, May 17, several heads of state will attend a conference aimed at rallying support for the Sudan government under Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok in the transition after the 2019 ousting of longtime President, Omar al-Beshir.
This will be followed by a summit Tuesday on African economies that will try to fill a financing shortfall of almost $300 billion caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Both meetings are to be held in a temporary exhibition centre under the shadow of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
