It is important to be aware of the domestic difficulties, risks and other implications confronting African journalists currently in their endeavours to practise their profession. Official views of the media are very restrictive and censorious, even when lip‐service is paid to the importance of good journalism for national development. There are important roles to be played by journalists in averting, or dampening down, incipient crises, by instituting early warning and conflict prevention measures. But journalists themselves need protection and support in the proper practice of their profession.. There are also important roles which can be specified in this regard for the OAU, the United Nations, and for the international media generally
