Emmanuel Macron interrupts speaker to demand silence

At the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi, French President Emmanuel Macron interrupted speakers on stage to ask for silence.

“This is a total lack of respect,” Macron told attendees, before urging those holding informal discussions to continue discussions outside bilateral meeting rooms or in bilateral meeting rooms.

The French leader is in Kenya for the Africa Forward summit, which brings together more than 30 African leaders, business executives and young entrepreneurs as France seeks to strengthen economic and political ties across the continent.
