EU mulls extending Irini military navy mission to Tunisia
The EU may extend its naval military operation Irini off Libya to include Tunisia, as a further means to prevent people from fleeing on boats towards Italy. For the EU, that equates to a military operation launched in early 2020 to implement an UN arms embargo on Libya. An agreement over the summer with Tunisia had also been billed by von der Leyen as a blueprint for future deals. Saied had earlier this week declined to accept EU funds after the European Commission had wired €60m into the Tunis treasury. The apparent acrimony could complicate relations between Tunisia and the European Union, posing questions on whether Tunis would ever agree to having European warships enters its territorial waters.

Moody's downgrades Egypt deeper into junk territory
Moody's on Thursday downgraded Egypt's credit rating by a notch to 'Caa1' from 'B3', citing the country's worsening debt affordability. Egypt has been facing an economic crisis with record inflation and a chronic foreign currency shortage, and a borrowing spree over the last eight years has made external debt repayments increasingly onerous. "Moody's expects the materialization of asset sale proceeds at the central bank to help restore the economy's foreign currency liquidity buffer," the credit rating agency said, placing Egypt's outlook at 'stable'. Egypt has imposed import restrictions to remedy the shortage of foreign currency, while at least two national banks have suspended the use of Egyptian pound debit cards outside the country to stop a drain on foreign currency. The country, which is preparing for elections in December, devalued its currency by more than half in the year to March.

Africa’s first carbon-removal plant stokes questions about responsible climate solutions
Direct-air capture sucks in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stores it underground, a process that is relatively energy intensive. “The world is going to need to decarbonize,” said Bilha Ndirangu, CEO of Great Carbon Valley. “There’s a real need for safeguards on where these projects are taking place,” said Ugbaad Kosar, the director of environmental justice at Carbon180, a climate nonprofit that advocates for equitable carbon removal. With carbon removal, companies that continue to use fossil fuels can claim to be carbon-neutral because they purchased offsets created by some carbon removal plants. Climeworks said it only works with companies that plan to reduce emissions over time, using carbon removal as just one tool in that process.
