What do young Africans think about the world’s biggest powers?

The 2026 African Youth Survey finds that 95% of respondents aged 18–24 view China’s influence in Africa positively, compared with 85% for the United States. Positive views of Russia have also climbed to 83%, up from 68% two years ago.

Yet when asked which country has the most influence in Africa, the United States came first at 81%, ahead of China.

The findings have been featured in The Times, alongside perspectives on what young Africans want from the continent’s international partners.

Zebek is at providing media support as technologists, researchers, economists, artists and political thinkers gather to discuss digital freedom, privacy, governance and what a more open internet could look like.

Closing out the first day, economist, political thinker and former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis explored the relationship between technology, power and human agency, examining how digital systems increasingly shape participation, identity and labour, and the questions that must be addressed as these technologies continue to evolve.

Looking forward to sharing more highlights from the discussions over the coming days.

Ugandan coffee took centre stage in Ankara last week during a high-level coffee cupping and trade engagement hosted by the Embassy of Uganda in Ankara and Kafe Kavil.

The event brought together Turkish importers, exporters, speciality roasters, investors, diplomats and coffee professionals to experience Uganda’s premium Arabica and Robusta varieties, while opening up conversations around sourcing, investment and long-term trade collaboration.

As demand for origin-driven and speciality coffee continues to grow, this engagement marked an important step in strengthening Uganda’s visibility in Türkiye’s coffee market and creating more direct connections between Ugandan producers and international buyers.

More on the Uganda–Kafe Kavil partnership coming in our next post.

Uganda takes centre stage in Venice.

We are proud to support the international communications around a historic cultural moment: the Nakibembe Embaire Group from Busoga opening this year’s Venice Biennale at Palazzo Grassi on 7 May 2026.

Custodians of the Embaire, a large communal xylophone played by multiple musicians at once, the group brings one of Uganda’s most powerful living traditions to one of the world’s most prestigious art stages.

Their performance, presented in conjunction with an exhibition by Michael Armitage, places Ugandan sound, heritage and collective performance in direct conversation with contemporary art.

The moment is historic not only because of where it is taking place, but because of what is being carried there: a Ugandan sound, a Busoga tradition, and a form of collective performance being given global visibility on one of the world’s most influential contemporary art stages.
