TAC is distributed by subscription and through press outlets at train stations and airports, as well as in selected bookshops and African shops throughout Western Europe.

The latest move comes from Poland, which has announced it will temporarily impose checks along its borders with Germany and Lithuania starting next Monday. Here are the 12 countries that have reintroduced border checks in the Schengen zone:

Our Story

Published in Germany, The African Courier reports on Africa and the Diaspora African experience.

The African Courier is a communication forum for European-African political, economic and cultural exchanges, and a voice for Africa in Europe.

With too many negative representations of Africa entrenched in images of war, disease, poverty and famine, The African Courier seeks to redress the imbalance by giving a realistic image of the continent with all its challenges and opportunities. This, we think, is very important if the world is to engage Africa to mutual benefits.
