In Niger, where French troops were ousted following a 2023 coup against a pro-western president, Italy has remained willing to work with the regime, maintaining a military presence training Nigerien special forces alongside Turkish and Russian instructors. Italy has also lobbied successfully for the EU to extend a police training mission in junta-ruled Mali, which was due to end in January.

In Kenya, the World Bank and Italy developed a €210mn joint project — of which €75mn is from Rome — to get hundreds of thousands of farmers cultivating castor beans — the feed stock for biofuels — to supply Italian state oil company Eni. The Mattei plan is named after Eni’s founder, Enrico Mattei.
But an initial demonstration project in the Kenyan village of Mbegi led to small-scale farmers being up in arms after they said promised earnings of up to Ks70,000 ($540) per acre failed to materialise.
Farmer Francis Kagiri said he earned just Ks140 in total, claiming he was given the wrong seeds and that, because he “harvested almost nothing”, he was forced to sell his cows to make ends meet.
