The Goal of Orbite's half-hour weekly show is to focus on critical issues in Africa and to broaden awareness on HIV-AIDS and other major crisis by improving the depth, quality and impact of coverage across the world. We humanize the issues and explore the many factors influencing the global epidemic, from poverty to illiteracy to trade and investment to the environment.

Our aim is to stimulate public debate and foster a social environment in which AIDS and other major issues are addressed in a spirit of openness and honestly. We'll bring you updates of the latest news around the world and probing interviews with the day's newsmakers, experts and trendsetters.

Our show, aired in English and French has a wide reach throughout Africa, Europe and North America.

What Drives Us:

Award-winning African-French journalist and former United Nations and Washington news correspondent for TV5-French International Cable Network, Hugues-Denver Akassy and his team will take you behind the scenes of the latest news and deep into the issues. From the headlines to the front lines, you will go to regions where the consequences of the AIDS epidemic and the Darfur genocide are felt chillingly.

Driving on his extensive travelers in Africa and coverage of war-ton countries, Akassy will stress the importance of using fair, balanced and culturally sensitive information to address the challenges faced by men, women and children living with the disease.

Unlike media that limit their activities to sensational news to a particular country or area, Orbite, without excluding any country, area or issue from his mandate. So please help us to pursue our mission and accomplish our mission and meet our goal.
