Africa Pushes Back Against Data Centers: Eritrea, Credit Ratings, and More

In tonight's edition of Eye on Africa, witnesses report that Eritrean troops have moved into Ethiopia's Tigray region, though Asmara denies the claims. The alleged incursion raises fresh concerns about stability in the Horn of Africa. Also, the African Union launches the Africa Credit Rating Agency, aiming to assess the financial health of African states and companies. The initiative seeks to provide more accurate ratings and reduce reliance on external agencies. And South African civil society is pushing back against the expansion of data centers, which require vast amounts of electricity, water, and land. The debate highlights the tension between technological growth and environmental sustainability.
