A Reminder Concerning RSS Feeds--Plus Additional Odds 'n' Ends

If you haven't already noticed, "RSS Feeds of News from Africa" has recently been relaunched--as have the similar batches of Sudan-, DR Congo-, Somalia-, and Zimbabwe-related feeds. I may still add batches for another country or two (with Nigeria being the likeliest candidate), but otherwise will probably not add additional feeds for the time being.

Separately, over the past couple of weeks, I've come across feeds for "AfricaUpdates", the "Sudanese Future" blog, Adil Abdalla's blog, the bilingual (Arabic/English) "Sudan Human Rights Web Society" blog, southern Sudan's Confident Children Out of Conflict, Backpack Farm, the Awassa Children's Project's blog, Friends of Lake Turkana's blog, Somalia's QUESTS-MIDA, Connecting Congo/Project Mtandao's blog, Nigeria's Coalition of Democrats for Election Reforms, the Nigerian Guild of Editors, the Kenya Medical Association, "Aidsmap", Global Integrity's blog, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation, IntraHealth International, the Wildlife Conservation Society, "Architect Africa", the World Organization for Human Rights USA's blog, the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition, the Center for International Private Enterprise's blog, the Global Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS, the Global AIDS Alliance, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, BarCamp Africa, Promote Africa's blog, Children International's "LiftOne", the International Food Policy Research Institute, the Global Climate Network's blog, the Global Oneness Project, the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas, the World Resources Institute (including the related "NextBillion"), the International Union for Conservation of Nature, Family Legacy Missions International, Flying Mission, Zambia Missions' blog, Mumena Missions, the BeeHive School, "Zimbabwe in Pictures", the Zimbabwe Independent Assistance Network, "Swazi Live", and South Africa's Ceasefire Campaign--as well as the Nigeria-news/commentary sites "Elombah", the "African Herald Express", the "Peoples Daily", the "Will", "Huhu Online", and "My Nigeria". (Some of these feeds are via Global Voices, Aid for Africa, AfricaFiles, Mr. Okafor, "Zambian Economist", and recent IRIN/PlusNews, IPS, and VOA stories. On a related note, Drima has been compiling a list of Sudanese bloggers.) Updated (originally), on Sunday, to also note feeds for Witness's "Hub" (which I don't think I've overtly mentioned before), Village Markets of Africa's blog, the Global Call to Action against Poverty's blog, the Minerals Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe, and the apparently recently relaunched site for Kenya's "Standard"; updated (further), also on Sunday, to note feeds for the additional Nigerian media outlets the "Street Hawker", Vision FM, and Cool FM; updated (again), on Monday, to also note feeds for the Rainforest Action Network's blog (which I don't think I've specifically mentioned already), the U.S. Department of Defense's Africa Center for Strategic Studies, the Somali Nurses Association of North America, the ODI-affiliated Active Learning Network for Accountability and Performance in Humanitarian Action, and the trilingual (French/English/Spanish) site of France's Institut de Recherche pour le Développement; updated (still further), also on Monday, to note feeds for the Worldwatch Institute. - EJM
