Med-Or Monthly Africa Report | June 2026
The June edition of the Med-Or Monthly Africa Report is now available
The Med-Or June Africa Report is out.
This month's analysis opens with Umberto Tavolato's editorial on the US-Iran tentative ceasefire and its implications for Africa, before examining the crisis and its apparent end across four domains: underwater infrastructure, fertiliser markets, the energy transition, and Red Sea security.
The June Report also covers three further developments shaping the continent:
- Vieri Caneschi on submarine cables and underwater infrastructure as a strategic frontier for Africa's digital sovereignty and global connectivity.
- Matilde Vecchioni on the Hormuz closure's impact on African fertiliser markets and the trends now emerging.
- Valeria Zanini on how the war-driven hydrocarbon crisis is reshaping Africa's energy transition.
- Corrado Cok on Israel-Somaliland relations and the growing competition around the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb.
- Chepkorir Sambu on the multidimensional consequences of the Ebola outbreak in DRC and Uganda.
- Francesco Meriano on the China-Morocco automotive and EV partnership and its reverberations for Europe.
- Luciano Pollichieni on Senegal's presidential-prime ministerial crisis and its potential impact on international positioning.
The photo gallery covers Med-Or's June activities: cybersecurity initiatives with 11 African countries, underwater sector engagement in Djibouti, critical minerals work in Zambia, and blue economy programming in Kenya.
Please read below the full report - in both mobile and print versions - for those interested in the broader strategic dynamics shaping Africa–Europe relations today.
