Blurry cause it’s a screen cap of a moving vid but that looks like Chinese at the bottom of the cluster. Definitely some Chinese EV built under license in Africa…

I didn't see any Chinese writing... that said, of course they would be using supplied parts , but every country uses internaitonal suppliers for parts and materials in some way.

this doesnt mean that they dont plan on having domestic suppliers, or have some of their own parts locally. They already have the raw material.

African social media pages the last few days have been a buzz with the news of Burkina Faso starting to manufacture its own brand of electric vehicles, called "Itaoua". But these are actually just rebranded Chinese cars... What they call the “Itaoua Native”, is actually identical to the "Nigerian" "Innoson IVM EX02", which is itself identical to the Chinese "Dongfeng Nammi Box". And what they call the "Itaoua Sahel", is identical to the "Nigerian" "Innoson IVM EX01", which is itself identical to the Chinese "Dongfeng Nano Box".

It’s nothing that should be hidden as the Chinese will charter out their cars to anyone. It’s a step in the right direction for the country, but they need to develop the engineering and manufacturing to develop something of their own using this car a teaching tool…

I hate that Kagame is being a puppet for the French and multinationals. I dont trust whats happening.

I'm going to be looking at Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya with magnifying glass. They better not help Rwanda seeing as Rwanda is not as Pan African as everybody else. Let Rwanda start static with SADC by themselves.
