Afriquinfos is a francophone, pan‑African digital news organisation that reports daily across politics, business, society, culture and sport. It publishes also articles in English, and original reporting and analysis filed from African capitals and diaspora hubs, with datelines that range from Porto‑Novo and Bamako to Paris and Santiago. Its editorial motto, “Ni Totem, Ni Tabous,” signals a commitment to tackle sensitive subjects without sacred cows. Beyond breaking news, Afriquinfos runs an in‑house fact‑checking initiative, Débunkage, which scrutinises viral claims and explains fast‑moving stories. Coverage is organised by sub‑regions—West, Central, East, North, Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean—so readers can follow national developments within continental trends such as elections, security in the Sahel, regional integration, technology and economic transformation. Afriquinfos also maintains an Africa‑wide Agenda that tracks major political dates, cultural Festivals and Sports tournaments, making it a reference point for upcoming events. The outlet serves francophone audiences (most of the time) across the continent and the diaspora, as well as diplomats, policymakers and businesses seeking on‑the‑ground context. Its tone blends field reportage with explanatory journalism and opinion pieces, including profiles and guest columns. Regular beats include governance, justice and human rights; macro-economics and trade; public health; and football at all levels. By linking local dispatches to continental issues—and by checking misinformation that can distort public debate—Afriquinfos presents itself as a steady, region‑wide Newsroom focused on fast, factual African news.
