Macron Tells Noisy Audience to Be Quiet at University of Nairobi Event

French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday told a noisy audience to be quiet during a presentation at the University of Nairobi. The gathering had brought together investors, young entrepreneurs and business leaders. They met for discussions on creative, cultural and youth industries.

Macron made the request after the audience became loud while he was speaking. The incident occurred during an event focused on fostering dialogue between French and Kenyan participants in those sectors. The presentation formed part of Macron's official activities in Kenya.

Such gatherings are often used to promote economic ties and collaboration in emerging industries between the two countries. Audience noise during high-profile speeches can sometimes disrupt proceedings. Organizers typically aim for such events to allow clear exchange of ideas among attendees from government, business and youth sectors.
