Being Brazen: This is a blog from South Africa. The profile of the blogger reads:
Im a quirky, day dreaming, 20-something who believes in love, God, the power of words, having an open mind and that laughter is probably the best medicine. I dont like flying, over crowded places, standing in lines and most bugs.I stumble in stilettos. I write to stay sane.
Appfrica: A web portal for the latest news related to African innovation, education and entrepreneurship in technology.
Glad To Be a Girl: A South African blogger based in Johannesburg.
Sift through my insanity and revel in my genius! Modesty drips off me in buckets ;) Sarcasm is my weapon of choice. Christians, Muslims & Jews only believe in one more God than I do.
West Africa Wins Always: This is a blog by Pauline, a jounalist who has been living in Ivory Coast since 2003.
Last but not least is Scarlett Lion: She is a jounalist based in Liberia.
In her own words:
Photographer, writer, reporter. Going through life with an eye towards creating records and histories. Previously in Uganda, now in Liberia. This blog provides curiosities, cynicism, and commentary. And some photos.

MCP Press Agency anticipated
the victory of the American leader.
Congratulations to the new President of USA, Barack Obama!
The brilliant result of the democrat Barack Obama, finalized through occupation of the Oval Chamber, brings to light also this time the power of the democracy which was predictable, not only a simple political slogan.
This model of democracy vitality proved clearly that Luther King’s dream should had become a reality and that nothing is random.
So, the first Afro-American president, Barack Obama, declared in an impressive gathering that:
“I never had this much hope that we will win”.
For the representatives of the Organization which I represent, “MASS COMMUNCIATION POWER”, the motto: “With better peoples, the hope becomes reality!” can be surely confirmed also in Romania.
I recommend you to read also the Press Release of MCP Press Agency, from 15 of January 2007, called “In Memoriam of Dr. MARTIN LUTHER KING”.
A conclusive paragraph of the present press release, state the fact that: “the idea of civil society, cannot exist outside the civil rights in a democracy, and those have as central point, the personality of Dr. KING, with his life and activity”.
The material is displayed on the website “Curaj.Net – Exprima-te!”.
The same article is posted also on my blog – Blogger: User Profile: MIHAIL GEORGEVICI
Yours,
President of “MASS COMMUNICATION POWER” (WWW.mcppress.ro)
Ec. MIHAIL GEORGEVICI
