Zambia has officially secured a 26% stake in Angola’s Lobito oil refinery project, Angola’s largest oil refinery. The Lobito refinery, currently under construction in Angola’s Benguela Province, is set to become one of Africa’s largest petroleum processing refineries, with a planned capacity of 200,000 barrels per day. Once completed by 2026, the multi-billion-dollar refinery will refine crude oil for both international and domestic export, including export to Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Zambia becomes a key shareholder alongside Angola’s state oil firm Sonangol (which holds a 30% stake), while the remaining shares are allocated to other regional and private investors. Part of the agreement will see Angola transports refined petroleum products to Zambia. Plans are underway to construct a pipeline from Angola to Zambia, enabling direct transport of refined petroleum products to Zambia. “This is a strategic move to end our historical dependency on distant and costly fuel sources,” Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema said. “We are unlocking long-term energy security for Zambia and the wider region.” This could lower Zambia’s fuel import costs and lead to retail price reductions of up to 15%. #TheAfricanDream # jaconnaafrica #jajiotheteacher

Rwanda has bänned impørts of second-hand clothing and footwear from Eurøpe to bolster its local textile industry and foster self-reliance in fashion production. The government argues that cheap, used garments, often referred to as “chagua” or “clothes of deäd people,” undermine domestic manufacturing and compromise national dignity by flooding markets with abandoned clothes. Initiated in 2016 with high tariffs and finalized in 2025, the ban aims to create jobs and support the “Made in Rwanda” initiative, though it has sparked concerns about affordability, as local clothing remains expensive for many. The policy has also strained trade relations, notably with the U.S., leading to Rwanda’s partial suspension from AGOA in 2018. Despite challenges, the ban reflects Rwanda’s push for economic independence and pride in locally produced fashion. this is how to grow indigenous products of made in Africa, join on Jaconna on all social media.

😱 Is 🇬🇭 Ghana now the 6th largest economy on the continent? According to the Central Bank of Ghana (BoG), the economy of the country is valued at $135.1 billion in 2025. Ghana's economy being valued at $135.1 billion in dollar terms means that the country's total economic output, measured by its Gross Domestic Product (GDP), is estimated to be worth approximately $135.1 billion. This valuation reflects a significant increase from the previous year, driven primarily by : - Strong commodity exports: A notable uptick in gold and cocoa exports, with gold exports jumping 40.8% month-over-month from $3.72 billion to $5.25 billion, and cocoa exports rising 22.5% from $1.50 billion to $1.84 billion. - Strengthening currency: The appreciation of the Ghanaian cedi against major international currencies has contributed to the upward revision of the economy's valuation in US dollar terms, enhancing Ghana's purchasing power and improving investor sentiment. In local currency terms, Ghana's economy has expanded to GH¢1.4 trillion as of end-March 2025, representing a GH¢224 billion ($21.6 billion) increase from the GH¢1.176 trillion ($112.9 billion) recorded at the end of 2024. This growth indicates a positive economic trend, with increased output and earnings from key commodities boosting fiscal revenue and improving the country's current account outlook.

#Iran Weakens Israel Iron #Dome , Israel Already Low On #Missile Interceptors - Foreign #Affairs According to a U.S. official who spoke with the Wall Street Journal, Israel is beginning to run low on “Arrow-2/3” Missile Interceptors, which have been used to shoot down hundreds of ballistic missiles fired by Iran and the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen since Friday, with the U.S. also expended interceptors at an alarming rate, using several of the U.S. Army’s Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Batteries deployed in Israel as well as Arleigh Burke-Class Guided Missile Destroyers with the U.S. Navy in the Eastern Mediterranean. Officials and analysts still believe that Iran has more missiles than both Israel and the U.S. have interceptors, which is why the Israeli Air Force has been heavily targeting surface-to-surface missile launchers and other launch infrastructure so much in Iran.
