East-African campaigners are warning Brexit may hit some Global South economies by harming their ability to export to Britain – a key market for some. Nick Dowson reports
Campaigners are concerned about the effect Brexit will have on economies in Africa, worrying that it may harm their ability to export goods to the UK.
Many African countries have preferential access to the UK because of trade deals hashed out over the years with the European Union, such as Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) and the Everything But Arms initiative.
