An online magazine analysing and commenting on events in Africa, established by French journalists, was formally launched in Dakar Monday to give “an African vision of Africa” in its coverage.
“SlateAfrique is not a news site,” Jean-Marie Colombani, a former editor of the French newspaper Le Monde and one of the magazine’s founders, told reporters in Dakar.
“It is a magazine with commentaries, analyses, editorials, to step back and take the time necessary for reflection. Our public want to know more about what is happening.”
