— 2d
Benin is intensifying efforts to retain more value from its status as Africa’s largest cotton producer by promoting domestic processing in the Glo-Djigbé Industrial Zone and expanding finished-goods exports under a Made in Benin initiative. The movement, led by entrepreneurs like Fatoumata Dosso of DAF Collection, aims to empower local workers, especially women, while government policy shifts away from raw exports and toward value-added products such as garments and other finished goods; Benin produced about 1.15 million bales of cotton in 2025–26, a 0.9% share of global output.

EPA proposal to cut data center permit notices sparks backlash
Politics
— Sep 1, 2026
The EPA proposed a rule to remove federal public-notice and comment requirements for minor air permits tied to data centers, delegating public involvement to state and local authorities while keeping emission standards unchanged. Critics argue this reduces transparency and could leave communities uninformed about environmental impacts, especially as data-center development accelerates amid concerns about AI infrastructure, whereas supporters say the change would streamline permitting without altering pollution limits.
