Church Diplomacy: Pope Leo XIV has named Archbishop Tomasz Grysa as the new Apostolic Nuncio to Uganda, after his recent service as nuncio to Madagascar, Seychelles and Mauritius and as apostolic delegate to Comoros and La Réunion—another sign of the Holy See’s steady diplomatic reshuffle across East Africa. ICC Politics: Kenya’s President William Ruto is pushing Justice Njoki Ndung’u’s ICC bid hard, personally introducing her to leaders including Comoros during the Africa Forward Summit drive for Rome Statute support. Africa–France Dealmaking: Ruto and Macron co-led the summit with a “win-win” pitch—partnership on sovereign equality and investment, not dependency—while focusing on finance reform, transport links, energy transition and youth skills. Comoros in the Mix: Comoros appears directly in the ICC lobbying list, and indirectly in the region’s wider youth-sports spotlight, where South Africa’s U-17 campaign recently included a 7-0 win over Comoros. Markets & Media: Locally, Comoros-based FX Junction released a report linking social media buzz to short-term stock swings, spotlighting how online influencers can move investor sentiment.
