About this channel
What the channel posts
RFI, the French international news radio, uses this official channel to share articles from its French-language newsroom. Each post pairs a photo, a headline and the opening lines of the article. Africa features prominently: politics, elections, relations between countries, the start of the school year, fuel prices and press freedom, with stories covering many countries across the continent.
The rest of the world is covered too, including Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas, with live updates during major crises, as well as sports results, notably football and basketball. The feed is busy, with a new post roughly every half hour during the periods observed.
Who it is for
It is aimed at French speakers around the world, in Africa and elsewhere, and at readers who want to follow news from the African continent closely.
Good to know
Posts only give the beginning of each article, and the full text is on RFI’s website. Given how often the channel posts, you may prefer to mute notifications and check the feed at set times.
