Blogging the African Union
Our friends at Fahamu have recently launched the AU Monitor, a blog which aims to cover the activities of the African Union for an African civil society audience. Fahamu's concern is that much of the African Union coverage is slanted towards the concerns of western donors and international NGOs, and the AU Monitor will seek to provide a different take on their activities, and on the interactions between African civil society and the AU.
Fahamu also publishes Pambazuka News, a well-written email newsletter on African social justice issues-- just this month, it became available in French as well.
