The Africa Forum is a discussion group for those interested in African affairs and has been running for over twenty years. Topics include the culture, history, economics, politics and current affairs of the continent. Each week a member of the group or an outside speaker presents a topic for discussion. The group clearly depends on having a core membership with an active and knowledgeable interest in Africa. They would welcome members who would like to learn or share about the continent and developments. As last year, we will include remote contributions, especially from Africa.
