Africa Confidential is one of the longest-established specialist publications on Africa, with a considerable reputation for being first with in-depth news and analysis on significant political, economic and security developments across the continent. Their track record owes much to a comprehensive network of local correspondents, and the connections built up throughout Africa since they started publishing back in 1960. Why confidential ? This continent-wide, on-the-ground coverage enables them to identify and monitor upcoming issues long before they are picked up by the general media and analyse their real significance for the readers of Africa Confidential. Whats more, all their contributors are strictly anonymous, a principle that was established from the outset in 1960 to ensure writers personal safety in the turbulent, early years of post-colonial African independence. Hence the newsletter's title. None of Africa Confidential's commentary, news and analysis is syndicated to international news services, re-sold to web-based information aggregators like Reuters or LexisNexis, or aggregated on free sites like Google News. The news and analysis in Africa Confidential is original, timely, and insightful - actionable intelligence not available from any other media source. Thats why, more than 50 years after its founding, Africa Confidential remains at the forefront of reporting on the continents key political, economic and security developments.
