About Us
News in Your Hands — across Africa and beyond
Who We Are
African Updates is an independent news platform delivering timely, accurate journalism to readers across Africa and the diaspora. We publish in three languages — Kinyarwanda, English, and French — so that our stories reach as many people as possible in the language they call their own.
Our name reflects our mission: to keep the continent informed with reliable updates on the issues that matter, from national politics and regional security to business, culture, science, technology, and sport.
What We Cover
We report across a broad range of areas so our readers get a complete picture of the news that shapes their lives:
Politics and governance, regional and continental affairs including the African Union, security and stability, business and the economy, culture and the arts, science and technology, tourism, and sport. Whether the story is unfolding in Kigali, across East Africa, or on the wider world stage, our goal is to bring it to you clearly and fairly.
Our Commitment
We believe good journalism serves the public. That means reporting facts accurately, providing context, and treating every story and every reader with respect. We strive for balance, independence, and clarity in everything we publish.
We are committed to accessibility — building a website that loads quickly, works on modest devices and slower connections, and serves readers wherever they are.
