ABOUT AFRICA
Africa is the planet’s second-largest continent and home to the second-highest number of people after Asia. It covers approximately 30.3 million km2 (11.7 million square miles), which includes neighboring islands. This vast area accounts for 20% of the Earth’s landmass and 6% of its total surface area. As of 2021, it is inhabited by 1.4 billion people, accounting for around 18% of the world’s population. It is also the continent with the youngest population.
Africa is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Isthmus of Suez, and the Red Sea to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. It encompasses Madagascar and a variety of archipelagos. The continent comprises 54 fully recognized sovereign states, eight territories, and two de facto independent states with limited or no recognition. Nigeria is the most populous, while Algeria is the largest country by area. The African Union is the intergovernmental body that coordinates cooperation between African nations, and it is based in Addis Ababa.
The African climate ranges from tropical to subarctic, with its highest peaks experiencing subarctic conditions. Its northern half is primarily desert or arid, while central and southern areas are a mix of savanna plains and dense jungle (rainforest) regions. In between, there is a convergence zone where vegetation patterns such as sahel and steppe dominate. Africa is known for being the hottest continent globally, as well as having approximately 60% of its landmass covered with deserts and drylands.
The continent is famous for its mineral wealth, with estimates positing that 90% of the world’s cobalt, 90% of its platinum, 50% of its gold, 98% of its chromium, 70% of its tantalite, 64% of its manganese, and one-third of its uranium lie within its borders. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has 70% of the world’s coltan reserves, a mineral that goes into the production of tantalum capacitors for electronic devices. Additionally, the DRC has more than 30% of the world’s diamond reserves, while Guinea is the planet’s largest bauxite exporter.
