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 magazine is also available in selected outlets at airports, supermarkets and press shops in Cameroon, The Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and South Africa.

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.
