Africa: AfricaFocus Web Updates
AfricaFocus Bulletin
Jun 22, 2008 (080622)
(Web Updates)
Editor's Note
In the almost five years of publication of AfricaFocus Bulletin,
the number of sources available to readers over the internet, by
web and e-mail, has continued to grow exponentially. I am pleased
that so many of you continue to find this occasional bulletin of
carefully selected analysis useful.
I am also continuing to work to make the AfricaFocus website more
useful to an even wider range of readers, most of whom (over 80%)
arrive at the site through search engines, often searching for good
information on issues currently in the news or for information on
a specific country or issue.
As you know, they and you can find on the site a full archive of past
AfricaFocus Bulletins (this one is number 338). The archive is also
accessible by country and by topic. And a set of country pages
gives additional background sources, including the most recent news
and analysis from AllAfrica.com, IRIN, and Human Rights Watch.
This AfricaFocus Bulletin provides a quick update of new features
recently added to http://www.africafocus.org, of recommended sites
for current coverage and analysis of the crisis in Zimbabwe, and of new
content added to http://www.noeasyvictories.org
