Advantages: A different view of Africa

Disadvantages: Photos can be slow to load

Fresh news daily from more than seventy African publications.Some photographs too.

The news that is reported by the media in UK does not contain much about Africa. The stories have to be sensational before they are given even a brief mention. Famines and wars get coverage but that is about all.

allAfrica.com brings you the stories that aren't covered by other media. The site is divided into regions: north, west, east, central and southern Africa and stories are available in English or French (useful for linguists). Get all the news from Africa sent directly to your WAP phone too.

There is also a gallery of African pictures available on the site. The exhibits are a sample of those on show at the Smithsonian Institute in US. These are interesting works of art and well worth looking at even if you aren't interested in the news reports. You will also find links to other collections of African Art and photographs including some historical shots from Ghana.
