[edit] Editorial Position

The magazine generally takes a post-colonialist, anti-imperialist, anti-western stance in its editorials and articles. It has repeatedly issued calls for pan-African unity and urged African politicians to develop a continent-wide political union.

New African has a history of defending or seeking to downplay criticisms of controversial African political figures such as Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe (May 2007 issue) or Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria (June 2007 issue).

According to the December 2007 issue of New African, a New African en Français has been born.
