Specifically sub sahara of Africa?

Answer 1

There are several sources.

1. The African Union website has interesting articles, but you have to hunt around for them (search facility currently not working).
http://www.africa-union.org/root/au/index/index.htm

2. The foreign affairs departments of some national governments give detailed information about the current political situation in Sub-Saharan countries. These are the best two.
a) UK - The Foreign & Commonwealth Office

b) USA - The State Department

3. The BBC also has good overviews of the recent history and political climate of all countries.
