Last update: 5 hours agoAfrican Atlantic Gas Pipeline: ECOWAS leaders in Freetown signed the Intergovernmental Agreement for the $25bn Nigeria–Morocco Atlantic Gas Pipeline, giving the project a clear legal and institutional green light. The planned ~6,900km hybrid offshore-onshore route would move up to 30 bcm of natural gas a year across 13 West African countries, with 15 bcm aimed at Morocco and European markets via the existing Morocco–Spain link. Regional Energy Integration: The deal follows earlier feasibility and Front-End Engineering Design work and sets up next steps, including a separate Morocco–Mauritania signing ceremony. Germany–Nigeria Tech & Energy Links: German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul wrapped up a visit that highlighted energy cooperation (including Nigeria’s jet fuel role for Europe) and pushed for deeper business ties, especially in information technology and start-ups, plus more university and cultural exchanges. Climate Science for the Sahara: New research revisits why the Sahara periodically turns “green” about every 20,000 years, tying past river-and-lake cycles to Earth’s natural climate rhythm—useful context for future climate expectations.
