Macron BLASTS Nairobi Summit Crowd Over ‘Disrespectful’ Noise

French President Emmanuel Macron is facing major online backlash after a tense moment during a youth forum in Kenya went viral across social media. The incident took place during the Africa Forward Summit at the University of Nairobi, where Macron joined William Ruto for discussions focused on technology, innovation, education reforms, and Africa’s digital future. Viral clips of Macron scolding sections of the audience over noise during the event triggered fierce online debate, with critics accusing the French leader of sounding condescending toward African youth while supporters defended his demand for respect during the session.
