In August 2025, Charilogone Media celebrates sixteen years of Charilogone Magazine, founded in 2009 by Mr. Alfred Camus Djasnan, a Chadian journalist and activist committed to the rights of African refugees. From its inception, the magazine has embodied a clear ambition: to build a pan-African press that is free, educational, and deeply rooted in the realities of the continent. Charilogone is not merely a publication—it is a voice, a channel of consciousness, and a witness to Africa’s struggles as well as global perspectives.

Over the years, Charilogone has evolved into a diverse and committed entity. In 2016, the Charilogone Media Social Network Initiative was launched, with the aim of connecting African citizens through a platform centered on free speech, dialogue, and cultural empowerment. In 2023, the project took another step forward with the creation of the Charilogone Media International Ltd, consolidating the various editorial platforms around a unified pan-African vision.

Through its articles, Charilogone has addressed major issues affecting the continent: economic reforms in Rwanda and its exemplary business code; governance challenges in Togo and Chad; the denunciation of the Chadian education system and fragile security management; as well as political transitions in Sudan led by figures such as Dagalo and Al-Hilu. The magazine has analyzed security dynamics in the Sahel with the emergence of AES, celebrated symbols of unity such as the upcoming Cycling World Cup in Rwanda and the commemoration of the genocide of the Tutsi. It has also examined international strategies, such as Donald Trump’s proactive diplomacy in the Gulf and Africa.

Adding to these reflections is a fresh perspective on the United Arab Emirates, where Charilogone focused on the leadership of Sheikh Ben Zaid—portrayed in our columns as “Africa’s partner.” This article highlighted growing investment from the Gulf into Africa, reflecting a strategic partnership that goes beyond economics to imagine sustainable synergies in peace, innovation, and sovereignty.

This editorial journey is the result of collective commitment. Thank you to the journalists, volunteers, technicians, engaged readers, and visionary partners. Through your loyalty, rigor, and passion, Charilogone has become a civic space, a tool for awakening, and a hub of intellectual and social transformation.

In this spirit of renewal, Charilogone Media International announces the return of magazine printing, in both paper and digital formats. Our goal is clear: to raise our ambition even higher—to provide honest, accurate, and constructive information for Africa’s development and dialogue with its international partners. We invite former and new collaborators to embark once again on this editorial adventure alongside a team that works tirelessly to amplify the voices of the continent and engage with the world.

This is not the end of a journey—it is the continuation of a commitment. And as long as Africa moves forward, Charilogone will walk beside it—with faith, resolve, and clarity.
