    • African Arguments Online

    African Arguments Online is a multi-blogging site that covers both contemporary African events as they unfold, and develops debates on themes we believe are centrally important to an ever changing continent.

    Each debate will consist of many individual ‘arguments’ – the first contribution being commissioned from an expert on the theme. Responses are then invited, and will be moderated by the editor.

    To launch the site we are starting country-specific debates on Sudan and Zimbabwe, thematic discussions on development policy and Asian involvement in the continent, as well as a rolling news-based commentary on contemporary political affairs.

    We are keen to add more ‘arguments’ to the list. If you think we have missed something, then please get in touch and tell us what you would like to see us discuss.
