The African Courier

The African Courier (TAC) is a bimonthly news and cultural magazine published in Germany to report on Africa and the Diaspora African experience in Europe.

African Courier Media is a news organisation, publishing from Germany, that reports mainly on Africa, the Diaspora African experience and global affairs as they affect Africans and Africa. TAC serves as a vehicle of information and communication for The Community of Africans and Europeans who have an interest in the African continent, its peoples and cultures. The primary editorial focus of TAC is

on issues directly relevant to its readers but which are underplayed in the mainstream European media. These include matters of immigration from the immigrants' perspective, African community activities, African cultural events and opportunities in tourism, trade and investment in Africa. TAC also functions as a medium of news dissemination for the diplomatic missions of African countries and reports regularly on Africa from an African viewpoint. TAC is a communication forum for European-African political, economic and cultural exchanges, and a voice for Africa in Europe. TAC is distributed by subscription and through press outlets at train stations and airports, as well as in selected bookshops and African shops throughout Western Europe. The magazine is also available in selected outlets at airports, supermarkets and press shops in Cameroon, The Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and South Africa.

In Schleswig-Holstein leben 345 Kamerunerinnen und Kameruner – und vermutlich nochmal ungefähr so viele Menschen aus Kamerun, die inzwischen eingebürgert, die Deutsche sind.

Viele bekommen immer wieder Anfragen von Bekannten und Familienmitgliedern aus Kamerun:
• Wie kann man nach Schleswig-Holstein kommen?
• Welche Regeln gelten für ein Visum?
• Oder ist es besser, einfach zu kommen und Asyl zu beantragen?

Wir möchten an diesem Infoabend alle die Möglichkeiten erklären, legal nach Deutschland zu kommen. Dann können Sie den Bekannten in Kamerun helfen. Sie können ihnen die richtige Möglichkeit, den richtigen Weg zeigen.
Die Veranstaltung ist auf Deutsch

Berlin – One of the main concerns migrants have when considering returning to their countries of origin is finding a job to provide for themselves and their families. They may be out of touch with the job market back home, or unsure whether the skills gained in Germany will lead to employment.

For many, starting their own business presents a viable option. Before leaving Germany, Pierre – who now runs a successful tourism company in the Democratic Republic of Congo – was apprehensive about starting a new life after four years spent outside the country. He wanted to get clear ideas about starting a business.

To support returnees with gaining business skills, Social Impact implements StartHope@Home (SH@H) – a qualification program for self-employment after return to the country of origin. The project’s goals are to strengthen....

To many people, it may come as a surprise that people decide to voluntarily leave the country to which they immigrated. However, the reality for migrants is that not all applications for asylum or residency are approved, leaving many in a situation where they have to consider leaving Germany.

This is just one reason, why a total of 10,762 people decided to leave Germany through the government-assisted programme REAG/GARP in 2023 alone. In 2022, the number stood at 7.877.[1]

For many returnees, the first step is to talk to a return counsellor in one of the over 900 return counselling centres in Germany. These counsellors are....

CONGRATULATIONS, DR ROSALYN DRESSMAN!!
----

It is with immense pride and joy that I extend my heartfelt congratulations to my dear friend and sister, Dr RosaLyn Amanda Dressman, on her appointment as the Director-General of the Electricity Regulatory Agency of Bayelsa State, Nigeria.

To be entrusted with the monumental responsibility of ensuring stable and reliable electricity for the people of Bayelsa is no small feat. Your appointment speaks volumes about the confidence the state government, under the exemplary leadership of Governor (Senator) Douye Diri, has in your unparalleled capabilities.

As my predecessor as President of the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO) Germany, your impactful leadership left an indelible mark. Your visionary insight, steadfast dedication and trailblazing achievements set a standard that continues to inspire. Indeed, your tenure remains the benchmark against which both predecessors and successors will be measured.

I remain deeply inspired by your unwavering faith in our beloved nation - this community of fate called Nigeria. I admire your steadfast convictions and salute your unyielding courage.

You have long been a tireless advocate for the critical role of diaspora engagement in Africa’s development, driven by your belief that the continent’s progress is inextricably tied to mobilizing the strength and resources of its diaspora. Your new position offers an extraordinary opportunity to demonstrate the transformative power of this vision.

For those of us privileged to know you and work alongside you, your boundless energy, towering intellect and unshakeable optimism about Nigeria’s future are nothing short of awe-inspiring. With these qualities, I have no doubt that you will serve the people of Bayelsa State with gallantry.

Dearest RosaLyn, may this new chapter in your journey bring you even greater opportunities to shine. Please accept my warmest wishes for success as you serve the people of Bayelsa State and contribute to the progress of our great nation.

With best regards,

Femi Awoniyi

Our Story

Published in Germany, The African Courier reports on Africa and the Diaspora African experience.

The African Courier is a communication forum for European-African political, economic and cultural exchanges, and a voice for Africa in Europe.

With too many negative representations of Africa entrenched in images of war, disease, poverty and famine, The African Courier seeks to redress the imbalance by giving a realistic image of the continent with all its challenges and opportunities. This, we think, is very important if the world is to engage Africa to mutual benefits.
