In this episode of Interpreting India, Charukeshi Bhatt speaks with Jane Munga, fellow with the Africa Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, on the subsea cable landscape in Africa. With the continent now home to around 77 submarine cables and one of the fastest growing AI infrastructure markets in the world, the conversation moves beyond the headline investment numbers to ask harder questions: who benefits, who governs, and what does resilience actually look like when the cables go down?This episode explores:• Africa is seeing a surge in AI and cable infrastructure investments, but is that translating into connectivity gains on the ground?• Cable repair is a global choke point, but Africa has only one dedicated repair vessel for an entire continent. What does that mean in practice?• As Chinese infrastructure deepens its footprint across Africa, how are African governments navigating the sovereignty debate?• What did the ITU's international advisory body on subsea cables deliver, and what happens to its recommendations now?
