Afriki Presse (also known as Afrikipresse) is a francophone news organization focused on African current affairs, with strong coverage of Ivory Coast and the wider West African region. Published by Afrikipresse Multimédias, a Paris‑area company based in Levallois‑Perret, it operates as an online‑first newsroom producing reporting, analysis and opinion across politics, the economy, society, culture and sport. The director of publication is Ivorian journalist Alafé Wakili, placing Afriki Presse within a media portfolio that also includes the daily L’Intelligent d’Abidjan and its web channel L’Intelligent TV, and giving the outlet ties to audiences in both Ivory Coast and the diaspora. Afriki Presse carries official ISSN identifiers for its online service and for an earlier print magazine (Afriki presse: “le magazine de la nouvelle Afrique”), reflecting a brand registered in France and recognizable in both digital and print contexts. Regular output includes breaking news, explanatory articles and a press review that synthesizes key political and economic developments. Coverage often highlights electoral timelines, governance, infrastructure, business and cultural life, providing context from African perspectives. Content is published in French, aimed at readers across the continent and abroad. While legally domiciled in France, Afriki Presse maintains contact points in Abidjan alongside its European base, supporting on‑the‑ground access to Ivorian news cycles and West African issues.
