EU-Africa relations: Italy has been facing a plethora of challenges recently, from the influx of migrants to the high cost of energy, and a diplomatic tussle with the EU. However, the country’s Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, believes she has found the solution to these problems, and it lies in Africa.

During her recent visit to Ethiopia, Meloni unveiled the Mattei Plan, which seeks to improve cooperation on energy and reduce migration flows from Africa.

Meloni’s visit to Africa was an enormous success, as she was given the royal treatment by African leaders. She met with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, African Union President Moussa Faki Mahamat, and even held a meeting with Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. This was a significant achievement for Meloni, as other EU leaders like Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz have been given the cold shoulder by African leaders.

Meloni’s warm reception in Africa can be attributed to her unique approach to EU-Africa relations. Instead of focusing solely on development aid and charity, Meloni is promoting a more equal partnership between the EU and Africa. The Mattei Plan, for example, seeks to develop Africa’s energy sector, which would create jobs and promote economic growth. By doing so, it would reduce the incentive for Africans to migrate to Europe.

Meloni’s approach to EU-Africa relations is a breath of fresh air, and it could be the key to unlocking the potential of the continent. By focusing on creating a mutually beneficial partnership, Meloni is positioning Italy as Africa’s new best friend. This could be a significant advantage for Italy, as it seeks to solve some of its most pressing problems.

In conclusion, Meloni’s visit to Africa and the unveiling of the Mattei Plan could be a turning point in EU-Africa relations. By promoting a more equal partnership between the two regions, Meloni is positioning Italy as a leader in Africa, and this could have significant benefits for both sides. Only time will tell if the Mattei Plan will be successful, but for now, it seems that Italy has found a new BFF in Africa.
