Many conflicts on the African continent are poorly understood today due to a lack of independent, factual and easily accessible sources of information. In our view, this information gap is a worrying and dangerous vacuum that allows misleading narratives, fanciful figures, fake news and hate speech to flourish. African Facts has therefore made it its mission to fill this which is conducive misinformation.
African Facts believes that education and training are essential for resolving conflicts and building peace. That is why we offer a series of training courses.
