Global Information Network

Sub-Saharan Africa

by  |  on December 30th, 2009  |  0 comments

I would like to draw your attention to two new websites from the same organization, Global Information Network. The first is their website, including their page for African affairs. This page carries news from their news partner – the IPS (Inter Press Service) wire which they edit for U.S. readers. Registration is free, but after a couple of weeks you will be asked to pay (for those of you who write about Africa it really is a good source of information.) However, I know not all of you can or will want to pay for African news. In that case you should go to the Global Information Network’s Blog on African affairs, which provides posts on an array af African issues.
