I had to smile at the first one, but it's so true, many do seem to think Africa is one country. I thought it was just children who hasn't been taught otherwise, but many adults think it too.

Poverty, disease and government corruption are worldwide. I think some countries just hide it better than others or don't want to admit it. There was a time when I thought most of the population in Africa was poor, because all our TV and news showed was the areas in poverty and famine. The internet has opened up a while new opportunity for us to see other dynamics of Africa.
