The Atlas. A new global newspaper. By @thecontinent.org and @codastory.com. In the inaugural issue: let's talk about the 24-millennium news cycle. Download your copy here. No logins, no passwords, no fees. www.theatlasnewspaper.org

Front cover of the first issue of The Atlas newspaper, with the headline: The Writing is on the Wall: Inside the fight to own the 24-millennium news cycle. The illustration on the front is of the Blombos Pattern, humanity's earliest recorded artwork, carved into red ochre 75,000 years ago.

The texture of the paper behind the engraved rock replicates the Blombos Pattern itself - a series of bisecting, uneven diagonal lines.

This is the pilot edition of The Atlas, a collaboration between Coda Story and The Continent.

All Protocol Observed Welcome to Issue 240 of The Continent The latest Ebola outbreak is the 17th in 50 years, with more than half occurring in the past 5 years. Mining-driven mobility and mistrust are fuelling the spread. Ironically, better containment has limited vaccine trials. bit.ly/240_TC

This is the cover of The Continent newspaper dated 23 May 2026. It is illustrated by Wynona Mutisi. It shows a doctor trying to wrangle and contain the Ebola virus using a lasso. The headline reads: Ebola: short-term panic, long-term neglect.

All Protocol Observed Welcome to Issue 218 of The Continent El Fasher has fallen — the last Darfuri city to resist the Rapid Support Forces. After a 500-day siege, the Sudanese army withdrew, leaving 250,000 civilians at the mercy of genocidal militias. bit.ly/218_TC

This is the cover of The Continent, dated 1 November 2025, Issue 218. It’s illustrated by Wynona Mutisi. The headline reads: “Genocide resumes in Darfur as Sudan tears apart.”
The artwork shows a map of Sudan and parts of surrounding countries. Within the map’s borders, two distinct regions are coloured differently — the western side (Darfur) in warm orange-brown tones, and the eastern side in soft purplish-pink.
Both regions are filled with drawn faces of people, suggesting large populations. The faces in the orange-brown area look somber and weary, evoking suffering and displacement. The faces in the pink area appear calmer, though still serious.

Powerful: current life in Goma (eastern Congo) through the medium of the comic book: “The city is stuck. It is a purgatory that leaves its residents bereft of words.” There’s insecurity and the prices are skyrocketing while local banks are locked out of the national system. The Continent, page 13.

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

Things I drew (and liked) in our first season of The Continent this year. #editorialillustration

An illustration of brown murky rain water after a flood. The viewer is on the ground, beneath the surface of the rain water and they can see only the three pairs of feet of a bronze statue found in Gaborone, Botswana while the rest of the statue is above the water. On the surface of the water, the viewer can see dangling legs of a chicken being carried by the water and the shadows of the statue above.

All Protocol Observed Welcome to The Museum of Stolen History. This season, we profiled eight historical artefacts from every corner of Africa. We call it The Museum of Stolen History, in recognition of the fact that much of Africa’s history has been looted or erased. Read it here: bit.ly/TCMoSH

The cover of The Continent's Museum of Stolen History special edition shows a cabinet of historical artefacts which were looted from the African continent. It was illustrated by Wynona Mutisi. It shows Ngwi Ndem (‘Bangwa Queen’), The Golden Crown, The Rashid (Rosetta) Stone, The Lions of Tsavo, Okukor, The Cullinan Diamond, Kakuungu and Ekori.

The Museum of Stolen History: The Golden Crown, with its stunningly delicate filigree, belonged to Emperor Tewodros II, the King of Kings of Abyssinia. It was the most remarkable artefact looted during the British Army’s 1868 siege of Maqdala, the king’s hilltop fortress capital.

The Golden Crown is most famously associated with Emperor Tewodros II, but this artefact also had a previous life, existing for nearly a century before he seized it. (Illustration by Yemsrach Yetneberk)

Illustration note, by Ethiopian illustrator Yemsrach Yetneberk: The Golden Crown is most famously associated with Emperor Tewodros II, but this artefact also had a previous life, existing for nearly a century before he seized it. It’s that life which I chose to reimagine. This illustration (above) conjures up the occasion on which the nobles who commissioned the crown – Empress Mentewab and her son, King Iyyasu II – gave it to the priests of the Church of Our Lady of Qwesqwam. Mentewab had recently lost a son and the crown, adorned with important biblical figures, was given to the priests to remind them to diligently pray for the prince’s departed soul.

All Protocol Observed Welcome to Issue 187 of The Continent African opposition figures usually boycott elections after disillusioning runs. Venâncio Mondlane believes his victory in Mozambique’s election was stolen. He's doing things differently and it's already paying off. bit.ly/Continent187

The cover of issue 187 of The Continent (25 January 2025) is an illustration by Tanzanian political cartoonist Gado. It depicts Mozambican politician Venâncio Mondlane (wearing a charcoal suit and blue tie and holding a light brown briefcase) as a ventriloquist. He has a neatly combed high top fade haircut and in his other hand he is holding a puppet. The puppet is the newly-elected Mozambican president Daniel Chapo (wearing a blue suit and red tie). Chapo is frowning and holding a black briefcase. In the foreground are the words: "Upending Mozambique's establishment" in charcoal font.
