Talk Africa: Why Africa remains vulnerable to energy shocks

Tensions involving Iran have again exposed the fragility of global energy markets, with Africa often hit hardest. The crisis is raising fresh questions about the continent’s energy future. Despite vast oil, gas, and renewable resources, hundreds of millions still lack reliable electricity while many countries export crude and import expensive refined fuel. As Africa invests in refining and energy infrastructure, can it build a more secure, self-sufficient system? This week on the program, we examine Africa’s paradox - why the world’s most resource-rich continent remains vulnerable to global energy shocks, and what lessons can be drawn from the latest crisis. #TalkAfrica Subscribe to us on YouTube: http://ow.ly/Zvqj30aIsgY Follow us on: Facebook:   / cgtnafrica   Twitter:   / cgtnafrica   Instagram:   / cgtn_africa
