Africa confronts G7 double standards as Ruto is invited, Ramaphosa shut out

The decision to uninvite South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa from the upcoming G7 summit while inviting Kenya's President William Ruto has sparked outrage across Africa. Scheduled for June 15-17, 2026, in Évian-les-Bains, France, this move appears to aim at dividing African nations. Critics point out that the invited countries, while presenting themselves as democracies, often violate the rules they advocate.
