We are pleased to announce the launch this week of the first ever Portuguese language edition of Pambazuka News. Since the launch of the French language edition in January 2007, we have sought to expand the reach of Pambazuka News in other languages. The Portuguese language edition is not only important for enabling those in Lusophone Africa to engage with the pan African social justice movement in Africa itself, but also with the diaspora Africans in Brazil, Portugal and elsewhere. We are still in the process of seeking support to develop an Arabic language edition, and at some point, we hope, a Kiswahili edition.

If you know of people who might be interested in subscribing to the Portugese language edition of Pambazuka News, ask them to write to [email][email protected] The Portuguese language edition is available online at http://www.pambazuka.org/pt/.

Our thanks to Christian Aid for their support for this initiative.
