It was a great experience with my colleagues to visit Ukraine and meet with officials and NGO leaders in Moldova and Ukraine.

[MFA of Ukraine 🇺🇦 @MFA_Ukraine]

At the invitation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and in cooperation with the European External Action Service, eleven journalists from leading media outlets in Benin 🇧🇯, Cameroon 🇨🇲, Côte d’Ivoire 🇨🇮, the Democratic Republic of the Congo 🇨🇩, Mauritania 🇲🇷, Senegal ����🇳 and Togo 🇹🇬 visited Ukraine and Moldova as part of a press tour from May 11 to 16, 2026.

This was the ninth such press tour organised as part of the MFA of Ukraine’s systematic engagement with media from Africa and Latin America under the communication strategies “Ukraine – African Countries” and “Ukraine – Latin America and the Caribbean”.

The press tour aimed to provide African audiences with first-hand and fact-based reporting on developments in Ukraine, while also strengthening cooperation between African journalists and Ukrainian governmental, expert and civil society stakeholders in countering disinformation.

On the night of May 14, the journalists witnessed a massive Russian attack on Kyiv that killed 24 people and injured another 48. They visited the site of the strike and spoke with the Head of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, Andrii Danyk.

During the programme in Ukraine, participants discussed the global consequences of Russia’s aggression, food security, humanitarian demining, and the impact of the war on Ukraine’s economy and society. Particular attention was devoted to Russian disinformation and foreign interference, Russia’s recruitment of African citizens for the war against Ukraine, human rights violations and war crimes committed in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

The programme also included meetings focused on Ukraine’s cultural resilience, the history and temporary occupation of Crimea, rehabilitation and recovery initiatives, and the work of Ukrainian media under wartime conditions.

In Chișinău, Moldova, the journalists took part in a programme organised by the Centre for Strategic Communication and Countering Disinformation focused on the impact of Russian hybrid threats, disinformation and foreign interference.

The media visit to Ukraine was organised within the EU–Ukraine Strategic Communications Capacity Building Initiative.

وصف عدد من النشطاء الشباب قضية الحراطين بأنها تمثل إحدى أبرز القضايا الوطنية، مؤكدين أنها تتطلب تضافر الجهود لمعالجتها، ومحذرين من تأثيرات التوظيف السياسي والمزايدات والخطابات المتشنجة على مسارها.

This is just one chapter of a bigger dream I am working hard to make a reality, and it has opened doors to more opportunities in the future. I now feel more ready than ever to do the job I love the most.
It was a great year in the UK thanks to Chevening Awards.

My first on-site placement at BBC World Service has come to an end. It was incredible on many levels it challenged me to work in a fully English-speaking environment for the first time and gave me the opportunity to produce stories about African countries. @CheveningFCDO

[African Union @_AfricanUnion]

Looking back on the last two cohorts of the #AUMediaFellowship programme, we are reminded of the power of African storytellers shaping Africa’s narrative. Through immersive study tours and direct engagement with AU institutions, fellows deepened their understanding of the continent’s priorities and translated policy into impactful stories.

The impact is visible. Fellows have gone on to produce compelling documentaries, investigative features, digital stories, and multimedia content that spotlight African solutions, African leadership, shifting narratives from the margins to the centre. Many have become trusted voices in national and continental conversations, proving that when African journalists are empowered, Africa’s story is told better.

The programme’s success reflects the strong support of AU Member States and our development partners, like @EUtoAU @GIZAfricanUnion @UNESCO whose commitment continues to strengthen African-led storytelling.

As we celebrate these milestones, we look ahead with excitement to welcoming the next cohort in 2026.
