A Semana na África [The Week in Africa] was a limited-distribution press clippings bulletin (‘boletim de recortes’ or in Brazilian Portuguese ‘um clipping’) put together mainly from Portuguese and Brazilian newspapers by professors and graduate students at the Centro de Estudos Afro-Asiáticos of the then Conjunto Universitário Cândido Mendes (now Universidade Cândido Mendes) in Rio de Janeiro in the early 1990s. The editorial team consisted of Colin Darch, Edson Borges, Francisco Novello, Marcelo Bittencourt and Rogério Schmitt. At least 76 issues were published between 12 August 1991 and 21 February 1993 – MHN’s collection begins with issue no.0 and ends with no.75. «A Semana na África» was then replaced by «Notícias Africanas» (soon to be available on MHN), which began publication on 14 March 1993.
The focus of the bulletin was Southern and Portuguese-speaking Africa, and it therefore includes material on Angola, Cabo Verde, Guiné-Bissau, São Tomé and SADC countries as well as Mozambique. Given the period of publication in the early 1990s, the bulletin is a useful source for Portuguese reports on the later phase of the Mozambican peace process.
