 The current president of Tanzania is actively pursuing a foreign policy distinct from the one pursued by the late Magufuli, who served as president before her. Kenya and Tanzania agreed to boost their bilateral ties during the visit of President Samia, marking the conclusion of a challenging chapter marked by trade barriers and border tension. One year after President Samia Suluhu took office, a “softening” of Tanzania’s borders with Kenya, a reduction in non-tariff hurdles, and resolution to bilateral issues have resulted in higher commercial growth in both countries.

According to the most current known statistics, Cameroon had 9.15 million internet users in January 2021, representing an increase from 7.8 million users in the same month the year prior.

Although the fixed-line broadband industry appears to have stagnated, with only extremely sluggish growth in subscriber numbers, the national penetration rate has increased from 2 per cent in 2011 to 34 per cent in 2021. On the other hand, the number of mobile phone consumers in the country increased from 10 million in 2011 to 24 million in 2020, which encouraged growth in internet usage.

Camtel, despite its established position, was left behind by the growth in the telecom industry and is currently seeking to make amends for this lapse. It got 2G, 3G, and 4G licenses in 2020, and in April of that year, it inked a roaming contract with a rival called MTN, which allows it to utilize MTN’s infrastructure in parts of the country where it does not currently operate.

In terms of hair care, things grow more difficult because African hair differs from Caucasian or Asian hair and from nation to country. It is common knowledge that the most challenging difficulty for many African women is brushing their hair, which may be unpleasant at times.

Given these distinctions, it is easy to understand why African customers, particularly women, place a premium on Africa-specific items. Product customization is critical to winning the African war, as long as the items stay inexpensive.

Africa now contains 54 nations, with the accession of South Sudan in 2011. In 2015, the urban population consisted of approximately 450 million people, accounting for 40 per cent of the overall African population. The statistics show that Africa has become more urban than India. More Africans are expected to live in cities for the first time in the continent’s history by 2030.

According to the Barbados-born ” Diamonds ” singer, whose birth name is Robyn Fenty, the African debut of Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin cosmetics products, funded by French luxury goods giant LVMH, will begin in eight African markets by the end of May 2022.

African countries’ attempts to form a common regional currency have proven futile precisely because of all the frameworks of laws that need to be revised and harmonized in the different countries. For example, the eco in West Africa and the shilling in East Africa.

Ghana and Nigeria have even gone ahead to create their central bank digital currencies, indicating their lack of belief in the workability of the eco.

What does this mean? In the next 100 years or more, Africa cannot create a common currency acceptable throughout the continent.
