Impact of Middle East tensions on Africa

South Africa's foreign minister warned that the US-Israeli conflict with Iran is causing shockwaves in Africa, risking higher food prices due to increased oil and fertilizer costs, and possibly redirecting Gulf investments away from the continent. This comes as Africa faces its worst debt crisis in decades, with many nations spending more on debt than on health or education. https://www.trtworld.com/article/04cfa74e595e
