In this clip, Gambian Pan-Africanist Ousman Touray lashes out at mainstream media portrayals of Africa – which focus exclusively on the negative news coming out of our continent, and never highlight the good, uplifting stories. He says it’s critical that we have our own, homegrown media outlets putting out both sides of the picture – not ignoring the bad, but also highlighting positive aspects. This is essential, he says, not only for the sake of truth and balance but to attract investment into Africa – not from foreigners, but from Africans themselves. It’s certainly a message we here at African Stream take very seriously. Is he right? (And how are we doing?)

Thank God your website is here! Thank you so much for you work. You have our support.
I agree
Great work guys and we behind yall 💯
The highest journalism award is to be assassinated by the CIA. The highest media award is to be blocked by the United States. Africa needs its own media. We should tell our stories.
I advice A Kaballo or those responsible of African stream to get in touch with Alain Foka of a french pan-African media AFO media. I advice this because he has his own platform, and he menaged to put together a pan-African group thinking on the solutions.
