What people are saying “Fahamu through Pambazuka News is bridging the gap that has been keeping scholars, activists and policy makers apart for too long”
Ebrima Sall, former Executive Director, Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa, Senegal.
“[Pambazuka is] probably the best news and views periodical on Africa”
Professor Yash Tandon in his new (2017) booklet “The Trump Phenomenon” and also author of “Trade is War”.
“Pambazuka is a pre-eminent source of independent and critical commentary on African affairs … its strength lies in its ability to air the views of African scholars, journalists and activists. This gives it a genuine and unrivalled legitimacy, which must continue.”
Editorial board, Review of African Political Economy

The consequent outcomes of such processes have been very relevant to our partner communities. We are glad to have Fahamu as a partner.”
Gitahi Githuku, AJWS
