Africa is not a country but a continent.

Many people tend to have this misconception when talking about Africa. They refer to it as one country. It is is the second biggest continent in the world and it is made up of 53 countries. It has five regions which are; North Africa, South Africa, East Africa, West Africa and Central Africa.

The next time you want to ask somebody from Africa about where he comes from, make sure you specify the country because different countries in Africa have different cultures and way of life.
