I>Afrique was a French emission of Télévision devoted to the topicality of Africa and presented by the French journalist of origin of the Ivory Coast Joseph Andjou. From one 10 minutes duration, it was diffused on the chain of information into continuous I>Télé of September 2001 in June 2007.

Semi-monthly Iniatialement, I>Afrique was then diffused each week. It was one of the most famous emissions and one of oldest of I>Télé. It was removed grid because of the centring of the chain on information.

The emission which wanted to give an positive image and alive African continent evoked all the topicality of the continent (political, economy, cinema, sport, culture, etc) by alternating reports and interviews. A zapping of African televisions and a diary also punctuated this magazine, that Joseph Andjou always enclosed by a African proverb.
