    Description

    Company background

    Following its successful transition to a daily publication in April 2020, Africa Intelligence now has a team of around 20 journalists who chronicle the political, diplomatic and economic life of the continent in French and English. We work hard to identify the players in these three areas who wield power and influence behind the scenes, and seek to report accurately on their networks and connections.

    Our editorial success is based on strong values shared by the entire company: uncompromising investigation and intellectual rigour.

    Africa Intelligence is published by Indigo Publications, an independent press group set up by investigative journalists in Paris in 1981.

    To guarantee our financial and political independence, Indigo Publications relies solely on income from our readers.
