Is there one language that is used throughout all of Africa?

I’ve never been to Africa before. Does it have as much poverty as people say it does?

I know that countries all over the world celebrate birthdays differently. For the main part, how do they celebrate birthdays in Africa?

What religion is mostly practiced in Africa?

What type of government do some countries have? Do some of the poorer countries even have a government?

I think that Africa have a lots of incect. Do they have a lots of animals?

I heard that the ‘Malaria’ still stand on Africa. Why don’t they use the mosquitoes repellent?

I want to know what languages they speak in Africa. I know that in some parts they speak French. What is the government type do they have in Africa? Religion?

i just found out that i know nothing about Africa! lol =)i was wondering what kinds of traditions do they have there? Another question in my mind about Africa is…does Africa have shopping malls? It would be nice to know because it would be really nice to visit Africa!

How do people live with a numerous diseases like sickle cell anemia and malaria?

I assume that a part of Africa is in poverty and poor. However, is there a group of people who have tremendous amounts of money and ‘control’ Africa?

What do people in rural Africa do for fun without electronics?

I have heard many people say that Africa has poverty and does not have a very strong economic system in some of the countries. What is the main cause to this? Why is a majority of Africa still rural and weak in infrastructure?

I know that there are several modern languages spoken in Africa (French, German, Portuguese, English, etc.) and tribal languages. I just want to know why.

I want to go to Africa but i want to know some things first. Is Africa a really poor country? Are there any people that are trying to fix it? What do they eat everyday? Do they starve?

i would like to find out about where africans get their influences for art?

Why is Africa so poor? And why doesn’t anyone doing anything about it??:(

I really want to know about the poverty and the malnourishment.

When animals migrate, how many animals migrate at one time? and when?

I want to know what is the most common jobs and what do they produce? For it does not seem as though there is much jobs there for them.

i want to know if Africa really does have much poverty like most poeple say it does, what is the main reaosn for that? And why can’t they do anything about it?

I dont know anything about AFRICA~! Government, in Africa do they have president, do they have a king, or maybe they dont even have one?

not trying to be rude, but there are numerous fun things that you could do without electronics

I noticed that on my knowledge table that we had to fill out today, that i had nothing for Africa’s government. I have read somewhere that Africa’s political leaders grow rich exporting oil whilst their people are being ravaged by starvation and malaria. I want to know whether this is true or not as i truly cannot imagine standing and watching someone suffering when i have the power to ease it.

i just realized i know nothing about Africa :S. I wonder why the people around aren’t caring about what is happening around them.

Why is africa so poor, what makes it so poor? Also why are their so many diseases? Also while are the people in africa more vulnerable?

My dad has a picture of a boy dying of malnourishment in a poverty-struck area of Africa. The boy even has a hole in his stomach. Below the picture there is a caption that says “The photographer died 2 months after taking this picture due to depression. His last words were ‘I will never waste my food’” This picture had touched me deeply because everyday students in ISB are fortunate enough to buy (and CHOOSE) what they want to eat. Most of us don’t finish our food hence we throw it away. However in Africa people are ready to kill to eat- they barely get one meal a day. Why do we not value food as much as the poor people in Africa?

I heard that there’s a place where people would just wait and stand in a certain place and they would wait for certain people to call them if they needed people for a temporary job.
Is this true? Is their economy system that bad?

is there only one language used in Africa?

I’ve heard that some parts of Africa are poor and there’s a lot of Poverty. For example, people don’t have clean water to drink and children don’t have enough to eat. Also people are suffering Malaria, Yellow Fever, Dengue and Aids + HIV. Is the Government doing anything about this?

No one believes me when i say this but the deadliest animal in Africa is…

The Mosquito! That’s right and is all because of Malaria there are just too many of them to use repellant but there is medication. I know this because when I lived in Africa I had to take it every week. It tastes terrible

Also on the languages there are about 5,000 different languages spoken in Africa (tribal languages included) but lots of them are similar.

How many languages are spoken in Africa?

Did you know that Eruope, China and the U.S. could all fit in Africa with lots of room to share.

sorry I just realized this but my comment had a misspelled word. I guess I am just typing too fast for my brain to think so here is the correct one

Prin people in Some places in Africa do have electronics its not like every one thinks it is where there is no electricity at all but the little villages that don’t have electronics usually have games like spear throwing and anyway there are so many jobs in the villages that it is hard not to be doing any thing.

i dont get why people see Africa as a poor country.

i dont think that the whole country itself is poor but maybe some countries in africa have little knowlege of economics resulting in less money for the economy.

If Africa is so rich in gold, crops and many trading goods, why is it not the world leader in trade?
