Our East Africa Newsletter Is growing, thanks to our growing community.

For too long, East Africa’s story has been told from afar, often filtered through the lens of tragedy. At Acacia, we’re working to change that. We bring you fresh, grounded stories from Somalia, across the Horn of Africa, and beyond, straight to your inbox.

It’s only been five weeks since we launched, and the response has been incredible. We’re overwhelmed by the support and enthusiasm from our readers. Your engagement tells us one thing: there’s a deep hunger for authentic, local narratives.

If you’ve been part of our community from the beginning, thank you. We’re so glad to have you on this journey and encourage you to share the newsletter with a few friends who care about East Africa, too.

If you’re new here, welcome! And if you haven’t subscribed yet, there’s no better time to join our growing community.
