Almost every African country has a story in each issue.
News covered includes economic affairs, politics, human rights, culture, sports etc.
Each issue contains a comprehensive table of contents and a detailed index highlighting the principal characters and players shaping the political economic and social events in Africa. Whereas the independence wave of the 1960s was concerned with redefining the relationship between colonies and metropolitan countries, the current wave is about negotiating a new social contract between the African peoples and their governments. At issue is what shall be the role of the people in deciding who governs them and how do countries which have generally been governed by dictatorial and totalitarian regimes or which have lived under various other forms of oneman rule, operate the transition to a pluralistic form of government where the people have a greater say. This in a nutshell is the nature of the second wave currently sweeping through the African continent. This change movement is coming at a time when Africa is not on anybody's priority agenda.
