LITTLE more than four years ago we launched our Africa blog, Baobab, with little fanfare. Instead we dived straight into coverage of the issues of the day with a post from an election monitor in Somaliland. The time has now come to say farewell. The continent is as newsworthy and exciting as ever and we will continue to write additional articles to those that appear in the print edition every week. But these pieces will now be posted on the Middle East and Africa page. Our aim is to make our website easier for new visitors to navigate by reducing the number of blogs, many of which have rather esoteric names; it is not immediately obvious, even to hardened Economist fans, that the place to look for Africa news is a blog called Baobab. Our new online-only articles will be as wide-ranging as our posts on Baobab have been, taking readers from Cape Town to the Horn of Africa and many places along the way. And--we hope--they will offer even deeper analysis than before.
