Afrique Sur 7 is a French‑language digital news organization founded on October 14, 2015, that focuses on current affairs across Francophone Africa with particular emphasis on Ivory Coast and neighbouring West African countries. It produces news reports, investigative pieces, analysis, interviews and multimedia content across beats such as politics, economy & finance, society, culture, sport, high‑tech and showbiz (Biz Sur 7). The outlet positions itself to serve French‑speaking audiences in West and Central Africa as well as diasporas and international readers seeking region‑specific coverage.
Organizationally, Afrique Sur 7 operates under Build Groupe and lists an editorial team including a publication director and an editor‑in‑chief supported by staff journalists and columnists. The editorial approach stresses timely, sourced reporting and a mix of straight news, live local coverage and opinion/commentary designed to feed public debate. The brand maintains city‑focused coverage hubs (Abidjan, Bamako, Ouagadougou, Dakar and others) to provide local context alongside continental and international stories.
Afrique Sur 7 has been active in the Ivorian digital media ecosystem and has received sector recognition: at the Salon & Awards de la Presse Numérique (PNCI) its publisher and the site earned distinctions in the 2021 edition, including placement among the top online journals in Ivory Coast. The outlet’s blend of regional focus, multiple topical verticals and a newsroom structured for rapid online publishing makes it a notable francophone digital news source for readers tracking West African political, economic and cultural developments.
