German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is lamenting the incessant coups in Africa but hopes it does not become a trend. In recent times, there have been coups on the continent with the German leader saying the trend should be halted. The German leader also called for the release of hostages kept by Hamas and stated that his country would provide all necessary support to Israel to defend its country. Also, he disclosed that on the 17th of November 2023, ECOWAS will inaugurate an independent power plant in Cotonou, Benin Republic. He says it will enable Africans to trade electricity supply in a formalised manner and purchase power at cheaper sources.
