We are starting  September on a high!

Layomi Cole is heading to El Bahdja, and all roads lead to the vibrant city of Algiers this month.

For seven incredible days, from the 4th to 10th September 2025, I will be on ground at IATF 2025, Africa’s premier trade and investment platform, bringing you live coverage of all things CANEX, straight from SAFEX in Algiers, Algeria.
