Recent Reviews
  • Bilas Peles
    Heavy on anglophone Africa
    African news doesn’t make it much to European newscasts, so this is a welcome addition. The news seems well researched and is well presented, as one would expect from Deutsche Welle. It does seem a bit heavy on anglophone Africa and weak on reporting from francophone and lusophone countries though.
