Created last September by journalists and academics, this media broadcast on the web is both independent, free and seeks to bring a different perspective to the African continent. Totally free to be accessible, the magazine calls for donations to continue to exist.
In Congo Kinshasa, the Muslim community between two fires, Africans were at the heart of the construction of our modern world, Bolloré, a pan-African empire. So many titles that illustrate the desire toAfrica XXI to be free and above all to bring a different perspective.
” Afrique XXI is an independent site but we do not do news strictly speaking. We use the news to try to bounce back and bring an offbeat, sometimes historical perspective. For example, when the Thomas Sankara trial started, we decided to offer things on the side. And we have unearthed an interview with Thomas Sankara by René Vautier which had been somewhat overlooked. So we republished it and then we took an interest in the people who have fought for years for justice to be done on this case of the assassination of Thomas Sankara and his comrades “, explains Rémi Carayol who coordinates the editorial committee of the magazine.
Africa XXI today needs financial support. ” This is a free access site, because we do not want to charge for access to articles and which refuses advertising. We have no shareholders. Our only source of funding is our readers. Our objective is 40,000 euros. This money will be used to develop us and above all to properly remunerate all the authors who write for the site. “says Rémi Carayol.
The Franco-Djiboutian writer Abdourahaman Wabéri is also behind this Africa XXI adventure. He considers it essential, while the press is going through difficult times, to bring different analyzes to the continent. ” The more varied, different titles that combine depth and relevance in a free magazine on African issues created by journalists and academics, the better! »
The founders of Afrique XXI hope to raise 40,000 euros. Mainly to pay the authors and have the title developed. The appeal for donations, published on the magazine’s websiteends Friday, March 4, 2022.
