<p>KHARTOUM, April 11 (Reuters)&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;Crowds of Sudanese protesters gathered in parts of the capital and other Sudanese cities on Monday, the third anniversary of Omar al-Bashir&#8217;s ouster to protest the prospect of renewed military rule.</p>



<p>Bashir was ousted after three decades in power by a group of his top generals, who later entered into a power-sharing government with the civilian groups that had led months of protests in 2019.</p>



<p>That arrangement ended on Oct. 25 when the same military leaders, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, staged a coup, which has plunged the country into economic and political turmoil.</p>



<p>&#8220;Bashir&#8217;s downfall did not mean a final victory for the revolution, because Burhan is a continuation of his regime,&#8221; said 38-year-old protester Ahmed Ibrahim. &#8220;We will bring down the military peacefully and democracy is Sudan&#8217;s future,&#8221; he told Reuters at a Khartoum protest.</p>

<p>Protesters blocked main roads, burning tires, banging drums, and chanting revolutionary poems.</p>



<p>Protests against the coup have taken place despite a security crackdown that has claimed the lives of 94 people and injured thousands, as well as climbing temperatures and Ramadan fasts.</p>



<p>Khartoum protesters broke their day-long fasts in the street, as they did in major protests last week, and numbers swelled after sunset.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?search=all%3AL2N2W42JO&amp;linkedFromStory=true" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Read full story</a></p>



<p>Protests were also seen in other major cities, including Bahri, Omdurman, Port Sudan, Madani, and El Obeid.</p>



<p>The military says the coup was a necessary corrective measure. Reuters reported last week that a deal was under consideration between the military and some political groups to bypass opposition parties and set up a new government.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?search=all%3AL5N2W334F&amp;linkedFromStory=true" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Read full story</a></p>

<p>NAIROBI, April 12 (Reuters) – The following company announcements, scheduled economic indicators, debt and currency market moves and political events may affect African markets on Tuesday. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-events">EVENTS: </h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">GLOBAL MARKETS </h2>



<p>Asian shares were down while the U.S. dollar held strong on Tuesday, as Treasury yields spiked to a three year high ahead of U.S. inflation data which could foreshadow even more aggressive interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">WORLD OIL PRICES </h2>



<p>Oil futures rose early on Tuesday, reversing sharp losses from the prior day, as the market weighed the potential for more sanctions on Russia’s energy sector and OPEC warned it would be impossible to increase output enough to offset lost supply.  </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SOUTH AFRICA MARKETS</h2>



<p>The South African rand advanced on Monday, supported by higher precious metals prices and shrugging off weaker-than-expected manufacturing numbers. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">KENYA MARKETS </h2>

<p>Officials from the European Union are in talks with OPEC representatives to increase output as the EU considers additional sanctions on Russian oil. Victoria Ejugwu, Analyst at Vetiva Research, joins CNBC Africa to discuss the implications of this&#8230;.</p>


EU seeks OPEC oil output increase


<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="780" height="511" src="https://cms.cnbcafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/download-36.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-415843" srcset="https://cms.cnbcafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/download-36.jpg 780w, https://cms.cnbcafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/download-36-300x197.jpg 300w, https://cms.cnbcafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/download-36-137x90.jpg 137w, https://cms.cnbcafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/download-36-768x503.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px" /><figcaption>FILE PHOTO: A serviceman of pro-Russian militia walks nest to a military convoy of armed forces of the separatist self-proclaimed Luhansk People&#8217;s Republic (LNR) on a road in the Luhansk region, Ukraine February 27, 2022.

<p>LONDON, April 11 (Reuters)&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;As Russian troops fought in Ukraine last month and the West sought global support for sanctions against the Kremlin, South African left-wing firebrand Julius Malema told a crowd he and his supporters would never turn on Russia after its support in the fight against apartheid.</p>



<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has intensified a global battle for influence that may prove as important as the fighting. It is a confrontation that has seen the Kremlin look to exploit historic relations with emerging states, while the United States and its allies have sometimes struggled to win over the Global South.</p>



<p>The Kremlin has long worked to cement relations with fellow emerging economies of Brazil, India and China, dubbed the BRICs in 2001 by Goldman Sachs. South Africa was formally invited to join that group in 2010, with current president Cyril Ramaphosa echoing recent Russian talking points in blaming the Ukraine war in part on NATO’s eastward growth.</p>



<p>On March 30, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told Russia’s RT television the BRICS would &#8220;be at the centre of a new world order&#8221; after the war was over. Russian media say U.S. attempts to persuade developing nations to join sanctions against Moscow will backfire.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Read more: <a href="https://www.cnbcafrica.com/2022/russias-isolation-intensifies-as-ukraine-fighting-rages/">Russia’s isolation intensifies as Ukraine fighting rages</a></h3>



<p>The reality is more complex – particularly amid growing evidence of casualties in Ukraine and targeting of civilian areas. Balanced against that, however, are years of long-running resentment against Western nations, from the invasion of Iraq to support for repressive regimes and trade policies seen as fuelling hardships.</p>



<p>It is a trend that extends beyond the BRICS across the developing world, with widespread scepticism of the West long a part of China’s game plan as it grows its economic and political power there. Russia is looking to exploit that further.</p>



<p>The realities of the Ukraine war, however, are also having an effect. On Thursday, the UN General Assembly voted to evict Russia from the UN Human Rights Council, a significant victory for Ukraine, the United States and European allies. Brazil, India and South Africa were among those nations to abstain despite Russian pressure for a “no” vote, while China voted against.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">DIVIDED SOCIAL MEDIA</h2>



<p>According to Mahmoud Pargoo, research fellow at the Alfred Deacon Institute in Melbourne, nearly 12 percent of Arabic language Twitter posts discussing Russia and Ukraine between Feb. 22 and March 15 also mentioned Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan or the Palestinian conflict, often alleging some form of Western double standards.</p>



<p>A March poll by the Palestinian Centre for Policy and Survey Research found 43 percent of Palestinians blamed Russia for the war with Ukraine, compared with 40 percent who blamed Ukraine. However, 57 percent said they believed Western states applied different standards to judge a conflict in Europe compared to that between Israel and the Palestinians.</p>



<p>In Pakistan and Sri Lanka, the food and fuel price spike caused by disruptions to grain and energy supplies is already yielding an economic and political crisis. With both countries increasingly aligned to China, that has produced criticism of the West – but also allegations that recent problems are down to Russia’s military actions and mounting debts to Beijing.</p>



<p>Increasingly blocked from Western internet and TV audiences since the invasion, Russian outlets have been keen to access and fuel these conversations, particularly building on an already strong reach in the Americas. RT en Español has 3.5 million followers on Twitter and 18 million on Facebook, more than their English language RT equivalents.</p>



<p>According to the Atlantic Council think tank&#8217;s Digital Forensics Research Lab, RT en Español and the also Russian state-owned Spanish-language Sputnik Mundo were among the 15 most-shared domains for Spanish posts about the invasion on Twitter, often amplifying Russian conspiracy theories such as that recent massacres were faked by Ukraine.</p>



<p>Analysis by British think tank Demos suggests Russia may have deliberately attempted to influence social media conversations in multiple languages across the developing world, tracking hundreds of Twitter accounts whose activity intensified on either Feb. 24 – invasion day – or March 3, with a crucial UN vote. Most delivered a mixture of retweeted anti-Western and anti-colonialist content with pro-Russia and pro-invasion material.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-targeting-nationalist-leaders">TARGETING NATIONALIST LEADERS</h2>



<p>Identified feeds were in multiple languages including Urdu, Sindhi and Farsi. Others were embedded in networks supportive of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu Nationalist&nbsp;Bharatiya Janata Party&nbsp;and those of former South African President Jacob Zuma, who like his protégé Malema has been an outspoken supporter of Putin throughout the war.</p>



<p>In India, the war has exposed divisions between older and more right-wing Hindu nationalist demographics more likely to have sympathies with Moscow – in part because of its Cold War support for New Delhi – while younger elements are more likely to back Ukraine.</p>



<p>Diplomatic attention on New Delhi has also been intense. Last week, U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser for International Economics Daleep Singh became the latest senior official to visit India, following in the footsteps of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland.</p>



<p>Normally a major buyer of Russian arms but not crude oil, India has made it clear it wishes to continue trading with Moscow despite Western sanctions, reportedly buying up oil cargoes at a major discount. But it has not been immune to sanctions – Air India last week announced it was stopping flying to Moscow because it could no longer get insurance.</p>

<p>Brazil’s government has also been under pressure, including from within its political establishment. A week before the invasion, President Jair Bolsonaro visited Putin in Moscow, saying that the two nations stood in “solidarity” and praising the Russian leader.</p>



<p>Days later, Vice President Hamilton Mourao denied Brazil could remain “neutral” and that it would support Ukraine’s sovereignty, angering the president. On April 6, Brazil’s Foreign Ministry said the nations stood “in solidarity” with civilians killed in Bucha on the outskirts of Kyiv, although it stopped short of blaming Russia.</p>



<p>On Friday, U.S. President Joe Biden made his latest call to South Africa’s Ramaphosa, again pressuring him to join a united front on Ukraine. On Sunday, Ramaphosa told a political rally the tone of the call was “warm” – but there was no shift in policy. The battle for international influence is very far from over, and Washington can ill afford to overplay its hand.</p>

<p>ACCRA, April 11 (Reuters) &#8211; Ghana plans to issue 24 billion cedi ($3.24 billion) in bonds in second quarter according to a government debt issuance calendar published by the central bank.</p>



<p>It said 20 billion cedi would be used to roll over maturing bonds, while the remaining 4.5 billion is fresh issuance to meet the government&#8217;s financing requirements.</p>



<p>Ghana&#8217;s economy is currently facing a raft of financial woes including rampant inflation, a depreciating currency and a heavy debt burden.</p>



<p>Its credit ratings have recently been downgraded for reasons including concerns for the country&#8217;s access to international capital markets.</p>



<p>The calendar showed that the government plans to issue 91-day and 182-day treasury bills weekly, while 364-day treasury bills will be issued every two weeks.</p>



<p>Two- and six-year debt will be issued through the book-building method, it showed.</p>

<p>ABUJA, April 11 (Reuters)&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;Nigerian vice president Yemi Osinbajo will seek the ruling All Progressives Party (APC) ticket to run for president next February, he said&nbsp;on Twitter&nbsp;on Monday, as he bids to succeed his boss Muhammadu Buhari in Africa&#8217;s top oil producer.</p>



<p>Political parties in Nigeria should pick presidential candidates by June 3. Official campaigning will begin in September, according to the country&#8217;s electoral commission.</p>



<p>With&nbsp;Buhari set to step down after serving two four-year terms,&nbsp;the Feb. 23, 2023 ballot&nbsp;is expected to be a hotly contested affair.</p>



<p>&#8220;I am today, with utmost humility formally declaring my intention to run for the office of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the platform of APC,&#8221;&nbsp;Osinbajo&nbsp;said, ending months of speculation.</p>



<p>Supporters tout Osinbajo as a safe pair of hands who would provide stability and pursue a more liberal economic policy, including easing of forex rules. He has previously criticised the central bank for maintaining foreign currency controls.</p>

<p>But he may find it difficult to distance himself from the policies of his boss Buhari, who critics accuse of racking up huge national debts and failing to end an Islamist insurgency in the northeast and kidnappings for ransom by armed gangs in the northwest.</p>



<p>A deputy to Buhari since 2015, Osinbajo, a 61-year-old law professor and southern Christian pastor, has to fend off a challenge from Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a southern Muslim and wealthy power broker and former governor of Lagos state, the commercial engine of Africa&#8217;s biggest economy.</p>



<p>Osinbajo served as Lagos justice commissioner and attorney general under Tinubu from 1999 to 2007.</p>



<p>Osinbajo also lacks a political base of his own and would need to build a strong coalition of supporters with deep pockets to take on the political machinery of Tinubu, who helped campaign and deliver victory to Buhari during elections in 2015 and 2019.</p>



<p>Buhari has not said whether he will support either Osinbajo or Tinubu.</p>

<p>While Amazon’s dominance grows, so does its number of returns, and that’s causing a massive problem for the e-commerce giant and the planet. A National Retail Federation survey found a record $761 billion of merchandise was returned last year, creating an estimated 5.8 billion pounds of landfill waste. Now, Amazon has committed to a “goal of zero product disposal,” while still making returns increasingly free and easy, from boxless returns to simply telling customers to keep some items. CNBC’s Katie Schoolov wanted to find out how Amazon plans to solve the problem, so she sat down with Cherris Armour, Amazon’s head of North American returns, for her first ever public interview.</p>

<p>Missiles, drones, and mercenaries are changing global warfare.</p>
<p>Armed drones are growing in military importance as conflicts around the world have proven the utility of these effective tools of war. Companies in China, Turkey and Russia, among others, have developed advanced remotely piloted aircraft that can use guided weapons on and off the battlefield.</p>
<p>The widespread use of drones in Iraq and Afghanistan by the United States to target and kill insurgents jump started a new chapter in the history of conflict. These high flying and remotely piloted aircraft could engage targets with impunity while the operators work safely in a ground control station.</p>
<p>“At the moment, we’ve seen over 100 states worldwide using military drones and that number is growing significantly” said Wim Zwijnenburg, project leader, Humanitarian Disarmament at PAX. “We have over 20 states that are using armed drones in conflicts or outside of armed conflicts.”</p>
