[edit] Zanzibar

shouldn't zanzibar be included in the list? Bothar 08:08, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

No, it is part of Tanzania! Bothar 14:34, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ceuta and Melilla

Shouldn't Spain be included, because of Ceuta and Melilla?

Could somebody please erase Mayotte? Just because it's a territory does not mean it belongs on this list. Alos, Spain is a European country. It does not belong here. Please erase those two.

See "Africa and Europe" section of Transcontinental country for more details about the geographical border between Africa and Europe.--Gimferrer 14:15, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redesign

I have made a different version of this page using the sortable feature of tables. Now it lists a few more facts about each country and they are also sortable (so they can be listed by pop, GDP, size etc). It is currently at User:Chris_huh/List of African countries, what do you think? Chris_huhtalk 10:52, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Saint Helena

Why is Saint Helena on this list? What is its relationship to Africa? --12.216.36.70 (talk) 21:18, 30 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Missing countries

I am working right now with a EU database on trade and i cannot help noticing that some pretty big countries are missing from this list... Where did South Africa, Sierra Leone, Somalia and Swaziland all go? And Sudan, there's one more for you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alex.luta (talk • contribs) 14:41, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Réunion

Although not technically a protectorate (it's actually a department of France) I colored the row since it is definitely not a sovereign state. --The Jacobin (talk) 05:03, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
