About

News Out of Africa is a weblog written by a young woman who has studied and worked in East and West Africa. Operating under the moniker Amani (peace in Swahili), the author will use this site as a place to post news, relate opinions, and forge connections. Content will relate to Africa. 

Amani’s main interests lie in the area of human rights, and more specifically in forced migration, genocide, and gender violence. On a lighter note, she also enjoys learning about and discussing unusual travel destinations, documentaries, and contemporary nonfiction.
