List of African countries

Hello all,

Use above mentioned link for the list of African countries and click on the country's name and scroll down to find out border countries.

Just keep in mind these 3 things.

1- use only gambia instead of the_gambia or gambia_the

2- use  Congo, Republic of the as republic_of_the_congo instead of anything else (PS - Democratic Republic of the Congo and  Republic of the Congo are different coutries)

3- use Côte d'Ivoire as ivory_coast 

 

Thank You..!!

Everyone, please use this list instead of the one I posted on wiki, so that we are all on the same page.

Also, don't use Brazzville for the Republic of Congo. 

Ignore maritime borders.

So the site you gave us is not consistent with the map on google maps or in any other map. According to that site equatorial guinea has not bordering countries but in actuality it has gabon and cameroon as its bordering countries. So should we just go with what the site has and blindly create a non accurate map of africa?

You have to look in the text part: they didn't separate the list of adjacent countries like on most of the other entries.
