A long-established specialist publications on Africa, with a considerable reputation for being first with the in depth news on significant political, economic and security developments across the continent. Its track record owes much to a comprehensive network of local correspondents and the connections built up throughout Africa since publishing began in 1960. Some articles available free online, but subscription required for access to archives. Highly recommended.
