AFRICA OBSERVATORY - ISSUE 14
1 - 9 AUG 2019
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
This is the 14th edition of the African Observatory. As TAFAC, we congratulate the Feast of Sacrifice of all Muslims.
In this issue, we share general information about Angola, one of the African countries, economic situation and trade figures of the country.
The prominent article in this week's agenda is the start of the first high-volume barrel oil export, an important development for Kenya. The fact that Kenya has one of the major oil reserves is the first step towards a serious development for Kenya considering that the estimated oil reserve is 560 million barrels.
As every week, you can share all your requests with us about our publications.
Sincerely,
President of TAFAC
Abdulaziz Unal
