FAQ

What is Afrospora?

It is an online forum where everything African is celebrated. Afrospora aims to enhance the collective profile of Africa and Africans by reporting on the personal achievements, socio-cultural events, and worthy footprints of members of diasporan Africa.

The name 'Afrospora' is loosely coined from 'Africans in diaspora'.

Why don't you carry news about Africa?

Afrospora is neither a news gathering nor a news disseminating website in the sense that it is apolitical. Politicians and political parties may advertise with us but we do not report on them or on their political activities.

In the same sense, Afrospora does not express any religious views but is able to host adverts placed by religious groups in order to reach their targetted audience.
