 The African Continent
The African continent is more than three times the United States in size. As of 2003, there are 54 African countries that are members either of the United Nations or the African Union, formerly the Organization of African Unity (OAU). Western Sahara, occupied by Morocco, is a member of the African Union but not the UN.
Morocco left the OAU to protest this decision. More >
Africa and the World
There are tens of millions of recent African immigrants outside the continent today, including more than a million in the United States. Many play leadership roles in global institutions, such as the United Nations, and in the countries where they now live. This global diaspora is an integral part of African reality. (PDF) >

Africa Issues in the News
In the U.S. media coverage of the issues that effect regions and countries on the African Continent is very limited.
As part of our goal to build a well-informed Africa focused constituency we have created a weekly digest of African news and updates as well as a African debt cancellation and the U.S.-based Africanist community alert list.
