From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Africa is the world's second-largest and second most-populous continent, after Asia. At about 30.2 million km² (11.7 million sq mi) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of the Earth's total surface area and 20.4% of the total land area. With a billion people (as of 2009, see table) in 61 territories, it accounts for about 14.72% of the world's human population. The continent is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea along the Sinai Peninsula to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The continent has 54 sovereign states, including Madagascar, various island groups, and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, a member state of the African Union whose statehood is disputed by Morocco.

Africa straddles the equator and encompasses numerous climate areas; it is the only continent to stretch from the northern temperate to southern temperate zones. From Wikipedia under the

After the end of Apartheid in South Africa, and since blacks have ruled the government; is South Africa better, worse, or the same? Explain. Asked by The Equalist - Tue Aug 28 00:06:40 2007 - - 17 Answers - 1 Comments A. Lets talk economics. Economically South Africa has measurably suffered great losses- however, this was bound to happen. One cannot compare the country south africa is now, with apartheid south africa, there is no longer a huge population indentured by poverty and their situation to produce- this economic downturn is bound to happen whilst South Africa migrates from an agrarian virtually slave-based labour force to more automated systems of labour. I believe it is a matter of growing pains, with the alleviation of slavery and massive social reform, comes decades of unrest and the surfacing of hatreds both modern and ancient.
