Africa registered the strongest air cargo demand of all regions in May, with year-on-year growth of 13.3%, the International Air Transport Association reports. The Africa-Asia trade route saw demand rise by 14.1%, while capacity on the continent increased by 1.3%.
Continent urged to leverage critical minerals for equitable industrialisationEconomist Richard Goode has called on Africa to use its vast natural resources and renewable-energy potential as a platform for equitable resource-based industrialisation, linking mineral corridors to agriculture, forestry, tourism and manufacturing. He warns that the strategic risk is a new scramble in which green minerals are exported raw while rents and technology accumulate elsewhere, and argues that regional power pools and the African Continental Free Trade Area can increase economies of scale and make energy-intensive processing more feasible.
AI integration and legacy data unlock mineral discovery opportunitiesArtificial intelligence can help interrogate large heterogenous databases and identify patterns in Africa's underexplored geological archives, Botswana Minerals MD James Campbell says. He notes that AI-assisted prospectivity modelling is expected to become the norm, though human judgment remains essential to provide context, scepticism and accountability.
