Across Africa: Real estate scams growing in Ivory Coast

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from France 24 [en] · Sub-Saharan Africa

This week in Across Africa: in Ivory Coast, severe housing shortage has fueled demand for land, creating opportunities for fraudsters selling fake properties and non-existent plots. Also, Kenya’s women are changing the game. From the track to the boxing ring, female athletes are delivering some of the country’s biggest sporting successes. And Addis Ababa pushes ahead with ambitious plans to become East Africa’s clean-energy powerhouse.
