World Intrapolitics will be the most challenging area for me. I'm pretty familiar with American issues on the international front, but I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable about African issues apart from US foreign policy to do them justice analytically. This will be something of a learning experience for me.

I do have good news resources, though. I'd like to share my three primary news and editorial resources on Africa.

Pambazuka News
Weekly Forum For Social Justice In Africa

Available in English and French, Pambazuka News is the authoritative pan African electronic weekly newsletter and platform for social justice in Africa providing cutting edge commentary and in-depth analysis on politics and current affairs, development, human rights, refugees, gender issues and culture in Africa. Published every Thursday, Pambazuka News reports weekly on Pan-African issues, African Union Monitor, Blogging Africa, Books and arts, Women and Gender, Conflict and emergencies, Human Rights, Social movements, Refugees and forced migration, Elections and Governance, Africa and China, Corruption, Development, Health and HIV/AIDS, Education, LGBTI, Environment, Land and land rights, Media and freedom of expression, Internet and technology, Courses, seminars, and workshops, and Jobs. It's my primary source

allAfrica.com

allAfrica.com, is among the Internet's largest content sites, posting over 1000 stories daily in English and French and offering a diversity of multi-lingual streaming programming as well as over 900,000 articles in our searchable archive (which includes the archive of Africa News Service dating from 1997). The AllAfrica family includes AllAfrica, Inc., registered in Delaware, and the AllAfrica Foundation, a non-profit organization that sponsors the Charlayne Hunter-Gault Fellowship for African women journalists, and operates sustainableafrica.org and PeaceAfrica.net, digital commons for African development and peace networks, as well as a new multimedia HealthAfrica initiative.

allAfrica.com is organized by nation rather than by issue (not counting the three spin-offs) and is more like a wire service than Pambazuka News, which is more like The Nation.

BBC Africa

Just what it sounds like. I picked BBC Africa rather than an American source because Europeans deal more intimately with Africa than the US does, and BBC presents the European view of Africa in English (I confess my provinciality).
