Africa Daily Report — 1 October 2026 Major developments reported during the previous 24 hours 1. Kenya / East Africa — $16 billion Dangote refinery breaks ground in Lamu. Five African heads of state joined the groundbreaking of Dangote Group's planned $16 billion refinery in Lamu. The plant is designed to process 700,000 barrels per day and is expected to take about 40 months to complete. It is intended to reduce East Africa's dependence on imported refined petroleum, but the project still faces land-rights litigation and environmental concerns. Importance: VERY HIGH — the project could materially reshape East African fuel supply, trade flows, infrastructure investment and regional industrialisation.

DR Congo — Mistrust complicates Ebola response after politician killed. Congolese politician Marie-Célestin Karondwa was killed after publicly supporting the government's Ebola response, according to AP.

Congo has recorded more than 8,000 confirmed infections and nearly 4,000 deaths in the current outbreak. Importance: CRITICAL — the combination of rapid transmission, very high mortality, insecurity and resistance to health measures poses a major regional public-health risk.

Direct source: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/south-africas-foreign-direct-investment-inflows-pick-up-q2-2026-09-29/ 6. Ghana — Environmental regulator intensifies mining-sector enforcement. Ghana's Environmental Protection Authority issued a pre-closure notice to Chinese-owned Cardinal Namdini Mining over an alleged unreported incident and is reviewing an inspection of Gold Fields' Tarkwa operation.
