Birdsong may sound to us like little more than natural music, with melodies varying from one species to another. But behind every call lies a physical equation that determines how loud it can be and how far it can travel. A new study suggests that a bird’s body size and the width of its beak […]

When Cyclone Shaheen struck northern Oman in October 2021, the sea was not the only factor shaping the storm’s behaviour. The mountains rising behind the coast were also part of the equation, but in a different way. While warmer waters can provide a cyclone with more energy and moisture, the terrain can alter its track […]

  President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi hosted on Sunday, 4 October, a four-way consultative summit in New Alamein, bringing together Eritrea’s President, Somalia’s President, and Sudan’s First Vice President and Head of the Transitional Sovereignty Council. Egypt’s presidency said the meeting was convened to strengthen coordination and cooperation among the four countries, and to address developments across Africa and the Red Sea, along with changes related to African and regional issues of shared concern. The leaders reaffirmed their commitment to continued consultation as they faced multiple common regional challenges. They stressed their respect for the sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity of states, support for national institutions, rejection of interference in internal affairs, and an approach to settling disputes through peaceful means. In that context, President el-Sisi reviewed Egypt’s efforts aimed at achieving a ceasefire and pursuing comprehensive political settlements that preserve the capabilities of peoples, restore security and stability, and enable reconstruction, while also warning against external interventions that prolong conflicts and worsen humanitarian suffering.

  The inaugural Alamein-Africa Forum, held from 2 to 4 October, is bringing together African governments, business leaders, and investors in Egypt, with a focus on strengthening intra-African trade, attracting investment, and turning the continent’s economic potential into tangible projects. Around 1,500 participants are attending the event, which is designed to become a biennial platform for African economic cooperation. The forum comes at a moment when African economies are confronting many of the same pressures affecting markets around the world, such as higher energy and fertilizer costs, disrupted supply chains, geopolitical uncertainty, and increasing competition for investment. Why Alamein? Situated on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, the city occupies a strategic position between African, Mediterranean, and European economic networks. Egypt itself sits at the intersection of Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, with transport, energy, and trade infrastructure that gives it an important role in regional commerce. The Egyptian government is increasingly presenting New Alamein as more than a coastal development. The city is being positioned as a destination for international business, investment, and regional gatherings, and the Alamein-Africa Forum adds an explicitly continental dimension to that strategy. The forum is takingContinue reading "African Billionaires and Investors Gather in Egypt’s Alamein"
