To all of my brothers, and sisters in the regions of North, South, East, West, and Central Africa, I am encouraging you to get up, stand up, and fight for your rights. Democracy rules!
Africa is the second largest continent in area, and the third largest in population. Africa ranks third in population after Asia, and Europe. It is divided into (51) independent countries and several other political units. The countries vary greatly in size. The largest country Sudan is bigger than Alaska and Texas combined. The smallest country Seychelles, is an island nation with a land area half the size of the city of New Orleans. Nigeria, the most heavily populated has about 94 million people, but two-fifths of all African countries have fewer than 5 million people each.
Ancient Egypt arose along the Nile River more than 5,000 years ago. Later, other powerful and culturally advanced kingdoms and empires developed in the coastal and interior areas of Africa. Even so, for many years some non-Africans called Africa the "Dark Continent." They used this name because they knew little about the geography, and they mistakenly believed that the people of the interior had not developed any important cultures.
The national governments in northern Africa are trying to improve education by building more schools and offering schooling to a greater number of people, especially in rural areas. However, several major problems obstruct progress. The population is growing faster than new schools can be built, and the cost of education are constantly increasing. Many areas have a shortage of qualified teachers, and Africa awaits its creators. To those at home and abroad, you are strongly encouraged to give generously to the upliftment, or advancement of a more prosperous and non-violent higly progressive independent Africa. "Africans unite."
