The week-long initiative is an interactive exhibition and networking event hosted by the African Energy Chamber from Tuesday until Friday.
CAPE TOWN - One of the world’s largest energy conferences, Africa Energy Week, is set to kick off in Cape Town from Tuesday.
The theme for this year's gathering is exploring and investing in Africa's energy future while driving an enabling environment. Senior director at Energy Capital and Power, James Chester, explains that Africa Energy Week was established last year under the aim to make energy poverty history by 2030. "The way that we feel that can and should be done is by bringing investment into all types of African energy. We've got ministers, LOCs, utilities, private companies, service companies from all around the world, they're here in Cape Town this week, we're delighted to host them and we're all working towards this very, very important goal."

The conflicting parties were supposed to meet in South Africa for negotiations mediated by the special representative of the African Union (AU) and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo. A group of western nations issued a statement of concern at "the escalation of the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in northern Ethiopia."

In a separate statement, the U.S. State Department called on Ethiopia and the Tigray region to suspend fighting and to return to the negotiating table.
