                                    Italy's hard-right Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni hosted African leaders on Monday for talks on her long-awaited development plan for Africa, which she says avoids a "predatory" approach but that critics nevertheless warn favours European priorities. Among other initiatives, Meloni's plan seeks to swap energy investments for African efforts to curb migration.
