Egypt Reaches Out to Africa

This Is Africa published on 30 March 2015 a commentary titled "New Energy, Historic Relationships: Why Egypt Is Strengthening Its African Ties" by Karim Sadek, managing director of an African investment firm on the Cairo Stock Exchange.

The author argues that the recent Egyptian Economic Development Conference at Sharm el Sheikh shows that Egypt understands the urgency of accelerating engagement with sub-Saharan Africa.  He cites expanding ties with Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda.
