From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New African is an English-language monthly news magazine based in London. Published since 1966, it is read by many people across the African continent and the African diaspora. It claims to be the oldest pan-African monthly in English, as well as 'the bestselling pan-African magazine'.
It is published by IC Publications, which also publishes New African Woman, African Business (ISSN 0141-3929) and The Middle East (ISSN 0305-0734).
Editorial Position
The magazine generally takes a post-colonialist, anti-imperialist, anti-western stance in its editorials and articles. It has repeatedly issued calls for pan-African unity and urged African politicians to develop a continent-wide political union.
New African has a history of taking money from the likes of Charles Taylor, Robert Mugabe etc and then defending their paymasters' side - see features on Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe (May 2007 issue) or Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria (June 2007 issue).
Other languages
According to the December 2007 issue of New African, a New African en Français has been born.
List of editors
The current editor is Baffour Ankomah, a claimed "pan-Africanist" who has lived in Britain for decades and who renounced his Ghanian citizenship in order to become naturalised as a Briton.
