My Africa Observer
About My Africa Observer
Our mission, newsroom, ownership and editorial focus.
Our mission
My Africa Observer is an independent English-language business publication covering the companies, capital, technology and economic forces shaping Africa. We seek to explain what a development means for a business, a market or a decision — and what the available evidence does not yet establish.
Our editorial focus
We follow businesses, capital, markets, technology and decisions. Our readers include founders, executives, investors, family offices, institutional decision-makers, policymakers, diaspora investors and professionals following African markets. We do not aim to cover every event across the continent.
Our newsroom
Based in Tangier, Morocco, our editorial team brings together Jamal Mahdad, Founder & Editor-in-Chief; Mohamed Boubkari, Co-Founder & Editorial Partner; and Martino Oosterveer, Contributing Editor. Meet the team and explore their author profiles below.
Our standards
Clear sourcing, factual headlines and a distinction between reporting and interpretation underpin the publication. Dates, source notes and editorial formats help readers understand the basis and limits of each article. Our editorial standards explain our approach to corrections, conflicts and AI assistance.
