    The key takeaway is that the Microsoft AI deal is not about Kenya (or indeed Africa). It is firstly about the US competing with China, and secondly about Microsoft and the UAE firm (G42) leveraging the former concerns and bringing their financial capital and expertise to use Africa to gain access to H100 chips for G42's own domestic purposes.
