Jeune Afrique (English: Young Africa) is a French-language Pan-Africanism weekly News magazines, founded in 1960 in Tunis and subsequently published in Paris by Jeune Afrique Media Group. It is the most widely read pan-African magazine. It offers coverage of African and international political, economic and cultural news. It is also a book publisher, under the imprint "Les Éditions du Jaguar".
Starting in 1997, Jeune Afrique has also maintained a news website.
Published on a weekly basis for its first sixty years, it has been published monthly since 2020.
Jeune Afrique covered the emerging fedayeen movement of the Palestine Liberation Organization immediately after the Six-Day War between the Arab states and Israel. The magazine published an interview with Yasser Arafat in May 1968.
From 2000 (issue 2040) to early 2006 (issue 2354), the magazine went by the name of Jeune Afrique L'intelligent.
Jeune Afrique is published by Jeune Afrique Media Group, which also publishes the monthly English-language news magazine The Africa Report.
The headquarters of the magazine in Paris has been attacked in France two times, once, in 1986, and the other time, in January 1987. Responsibility for the latter attack was claimed by the French nationalist Charles Martel Group.
The magazine has an edition published for Tunisia, which has been suspended several times for covering sensitive news concerning the country. For instance, from July 1984 to January 1985 it was banned in the country. In June 1989 the magazine was also banned in Morocco. During this period, it had a circulation of around 13,000 copies in the country.
The COVID-19 crisis and the print media situation in France has led to the ongoing digitalization of Jeune Afrique. In early December 2020, Jeune Afrique's management announced the first redundancy plan in its history due to declining economic results caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In September 2023 sale of Jeune Afrique was banned in Burkina Faso, when the country's military government took offence at articles alleging tensions in the Burkina Faso Armed Forces.
