Africa totals 950 million inhabitants and as many issues of discontent.

People are clearly asking why things are the way they are. The 935 souls attributed to African diaspora around the world are also wondering. The answers we get are suffused with embarrassments. It is in order to turn around such situations that we floated Africa Diaspora™ in January 2000.

The objective of the newspaper is simple: topush for an African development paradigm shift through an editorial practice that draws inspiration from prestigious traditions: Theophraste RENAUDOT, Joachim MÉTRA, Pierre Augustin CARON (aka Beaumarchais), Pierre Antoine de La PLACE, Jacques-Pierre BRISSOT, Camille DESMOULINS, Jean-Paul MARAT, Louis-Marie PRUD’HOMME, Jacques René HÉBERT, François René de CHATEAUBRIAND, Émile de GIRARDIN, Moïse Polydore MILLAUD, Henri ROCHEFORT, George CLÉMENCEAU, Herbert MACAULAY, Mary Ann Shadd CARY, Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Jr., W. E. B. DUBOIS, Babatunde JOSE et, foremost, the Gęlędę masquerade.

All those elders guide our postulates and, like atoms which never loose their memory, link us to a sense of history always in perspectives.

With three trial issues distributed on news-stands in more than 28 countries, Africa Diaspora newspaper has changed political pronouncements in France toward Africa and, in Africa, toward itself. The notion of African diaspora is no longer a "strange idea". It is much talked about today. If it hasn’t always been that way, Africa Diaspora was the French language tabloid of pan African information was the most preferred in the French West Indies among French language newspapers of African obedience. Our write-ups have been used in trendy editorial. As a concept newspaper, Africa Diaspora™ has been copied over and over again but never equalled.

From that reality however, we know that the “the more French politicians talk about diversity, the less French politicians practice diversity”. Those who, within the French polity and pertaining the so-called “communauté française” [in reference to the 1958 Constitution], talk about “identité” automatically reveal their own incapacity to articulate intercultural policy. Current events in France and elsewhere constantly supply a proof of that.

Otherwise, how does one explain that fact a government that resulted from a landslide victory won by the right wing party during the last presidential and legislative election in France was also the one which, in less than three months in tenure of office, made room for the word "disgusting" to enter French political vocabulary as a description of government action towards the most fragile: migrants and their families?

The signals getting to us from european and United nations institutions are no more rejoicing. All that denotes a very weak decentration capacity and a deficient vision of solidarity that form the foundation of altruism, the only indispensable material towards the advent of a new world order.

So, it is not without emotion that we offer you four newsletters in the web magazine: one is a monthly and three are weeklies. They blend strategic information and a relish entertainment to the constance of a permanent reflection towards public good in an all-winners disposition.

French Arts Newsletter (weekly), deals with arts and life of artists. It is generally France centred.

ARP Newsletter (monthly), centralises value for money confidential information. The article we devoted to tourism in Algerian was downloaded more than 15,000 times in less tha two months. ARP Newsletter will progressively specialise in Africa and African diaspora related write-ups.

Pro Peace Newsletter (weekly), is our foreign news page. It explores, among other things, ways and means towards peace between Israelis and Palestinians. We know how they object to peace in certain quarters. We are not interested in those who hold such position unless they are ready, beyond their dogmatic views, to have a look at what hindered peace and what are the gains of peace for everybody.

SOS Belles-Mères Newsletter [Mother-in-laws] (weekly), is a light-hearted newsletter addressing an important social issue.

Those newsletters are prepared by Africa Radio Programme, an affiliate web magazine, which enables us match action with the idea of pooling competence with due respect for the material productions and the intellectual proprieties of everyone of us.
