Deep within the heart of the African Climate Summit in Nairobi, hidden from the world’s watchful eyes, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is orchestrating a clandestine transformation that promises to reshape the future of the African continent. The UAE’s commitment to sustainable development goes beyond the headlines, unfolding in an enigmatic dance of partnerships and promises.
A Billion-Dollar Riddle in Clean Energy
At the summit’s heart lies the UAE’s extraordinary pledge of $4.5 billion. This financial commitment, whispered in hushed tones, aims to fast-track clean energy projects across Africa. The summit serves as the stage for this covert operation, hosted by the UAE in anticipation of the United Nations climate summit, COP28. The UAE’s role as a global leader in climate solutions remains masked beneath the surface, while a shadowy consortium, including Masdar, the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development, Etihad Credit Insurance, the nation’s export credit agency, and Dubai-based renewable-energy company AMEA Power, align in secrecy.
The funding details are as elusive as the mist. The Abu Dhabi Fund for Development provides $1 billion in financial assistance, Etihad Credit Insurance shrouds its $500 million in credit insurance under a cloak of risk mitigation, and Masdar conceals its $2 billion in equity capital to mobilize an additional $8 billion in project finance, all destined for Africa’s clean energy revolution.
AMEA Power emerges from the shadows, promising to fund 5 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity across the continent by 2030, mobilizing a concealed $5 billion in total, veiled under $1 billion in equity investments and an obscured $4 billion from project finance.
Cryptic Ores and the Subterranean Path to Prosperity
Yet, the UAE’s commitments delve deeper. An elusive partnership surfaces, connecting South Africa’s Q Global Commodities (QGC) with Abu Dhabi’s F9 Capital Management. Together, they navigate the labyrinthine corridors of green metal mining projects, concealing a treasure chest of $1 billion beneath layers of secrecy.
These clandestine operations unveil an ambition to extract metals like lithium, copper, and nickel in the hidden corners of southern and eastern Africa. Q Global Commodities, an enigmatic player known for coal mining and undisclosed stakes in metal deposits in South Africa, charts a subterranean path toward these green metals. Their ambition extends to listing the new company on undisclosed stock exchanges, possibly in the UAE or Canada, once mining operations attain their covert operational status.
