The EU will welcome more than 40 African leaders to Brussels on Thursday in an effort to reassert its influence on a continent where China and Russia have made hefty investment inroads, and where many felt let down by Europe’s COVID-19 vaccines rollout.

The European Union will offer several packages of support at the summit to bolster health, education and stability in Africa, and will pledge half of a new 300 billion euro investment drive launched to rival China's Belt and Road Initiative.

There was also dismay over Europe’s travel bans on South Africa after the Omicron variant was detected there.

The European Commission announced this week that the EU and the Gates Foundation would invest over 100 million euros in the next five years to help set up an African medicines regulator to boost the continent’s drugs and vaccine production.

As long as these so called African leaders, still run to their masters, Africa will never develop or liberated. If is about African, why those European leaders come and gather here in Africa

African leaders never learn. These people didn’t give a hoot if your whole continent perished. They hoarded covid vaccines and tried to block your citizens out from the west. Well, good luck to us.
