Africa

Freedom House has released its annual survey (and accompanying “critical tools”) on press freedom around the globe. For the sixth straight year press freedom has deteriorated worldwide with Africa among the worst regions. In Sub-Saharan Africa the Freedom House tallies indicate that 23 countries rate as “not free, ” with Eritrea as the worst (and Zimbabwe next).  Eighteen qualify as partially free. And  only seven rate as “free,” including  Mauritius (which receives the highest score  in Sub-Saharan Africa), Ghana, Mali, Cape Verde, Sao Tome & Principe, South Africa, and Namibia.
