Macron Loses His Cool With Rowdy Audience At Nairobi Youth Forum

French President Emmanuel Macron temporarily halted a panel discussion at the University of Nairobi on Monday, May 11, due to disruptive noise from the audience. The incident occurred during the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi. Kenyan singer Bien-Aimé Baraza performed at the Africa Forward Le Concert dressed in an outfit resembling the distinctive style of former Zairean kleptocrat, Mobutu Sese Seko, garnering significant online attention. Bien has publicly defended his decision to engage with Macron at the summit, pushing back against accusations of betraying African interests. His wife Chiki Kuruka defended fellow African artistes, including Bien, against online criticism for participating in events linked to the summit.
