AfricanPath.com – News & Blogs from Africa

Happy New Year to you all my cherished readers. Its good to be alive, in 2007. It has been so cold, since January 1st 2007, here in Accra – Ghana. The harmattan has been really getting to me. Well, enough said about the dry cold. Welcome to 2007.

The thrust of this blog post is to introduce to you a new website that is poised to aggregate news and blogs from Africa. The new website is AfricanPath.com
According to the website:

African Path is the premier online destination for Africans online providing daily breaking news and discussions on issues affecting Africans and Africa.

With an engaging mix of breaking news in Africa, blogs, thoughtful discussion and an international community calendar, African Path is geared towards connecting Africans across the world in informed dialogue that leads to progress and growth on the continent.

AfricanPath already has a listing of some key African blogs, and I see this as an endorsement of the blogging phenomenon.
The new website, joins a few others like AllAfrica.com, BlogAfrica.com, Global Voices, that have been amplifing our voices, from Africa. As to how effective AfricanPath will be, time will tell.

According to WhiteAfrican (a Kenyan blogger),

The interesting thing about African Path is that he has also set up a blogger’s section. So far, 7 bloggers have committed to writing for African Path with another 7 possible. That’s a fairly significant number of people to add to the team, and I think it could be pretty big. What it will need is a steady increase in the amount of bloggers using African Path as a platform.

  1. Thank you David for the profile of the site. We appreciate all your support and African bloggers as a whole. We anticipate that blogging is maturing. Mainstream media considers major bloggers as key analysts on world events. This will keep growing. Currently African bloggers aren’t receiving as much love and exposure as they should. Our aim to change this and build a voice that is uniquely African and quite strong across the world.

    Once again, thank you.

  2. @ Joshua Wanyama, Thanks for passing bye.

    Surprisingly, my blog is not listed on your links page, even though some of the blogs linking to mine, are there. How did you gather your blog list? All the same, its all good.

    Cheers!
