In an era where Africa’s story is increasingly told through images, video, and real-time digital narratives, Moroccan journalist Soufian Fassiki stands at the forefront of a new generation of African correspondents shaping how the continent is seen by the world.
Based in Tangier, Morocco, Soufian works with Hespress, the leading digital news platform in Morocco, while also operating as a professional filmmaker and licensed drone pilot. His work spans news reporting, documentary visuals, cultural storytelling, and large-scale event coverage, placing him at the intersection of journalism, media innovation, and digital production.
While many discovered his work through his coverage of AFCON, Soufian’s portfolio goes far beyond football. His lens captures the everyday realities of African societies — from urban life and youth culture to national identity, politics, tourism, and public moments that define modern Africa.
Rather than focusing only on headlines, Soufian’s approach is rooted in visual journalism. Through drone footage, cinematic storytelling, and immersive reporting, he documents Africa not as a crisis, but as a living, dynamic continent with complexity, pride, and depth.
“Journalism today is not just about writing what happened. It’s about showing people how it feels to be there,” Soufian explains. His work reflects this philosophy, blending traditional reporting with modern visual formats that resonate across social media, digital platforms, and international audiences.
Working with Hespress, he contributes to shaping how millions of Moroccans and global readers engage with news, culture, and current affairs. As Africa’s media landscape evolves, creators like Soufian represent a shift toward African-led storytelling, where Africans control both the narrative and the lens.
From stadiums to streets, from drone skies to human moments on the ground, Soufian Fassiki’s work is part of a broader continental movement: Africa documenting itself, in its own voice, for the world to see.
