Africa is the world’s second largest continent, both in terms of size and population. Its numerous regions are rich and diverse in culture and creativity, full of opportunities and challenges. The continent’s 54 countries stretch from the Mediterranean Sea to the South Atlantic Ocean, and from the Arabian Sea to the North Atlantic Ocean. Their history and demarcations are heavily characterized and influenced by European colonialism not yet fully recognized and understood, while the present day involves neo-colonial processes also requiring attention and research.
