• Northern Africa countries (7) - Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, and Western Sahara
• Central or Middle African countries (9) - Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo Republic - Brazzaville, Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and São Tomé & Principe
• Southern Africa countries (5) -  Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa, and Swaziland
• East African countries (19) -  Burundi, Comoros, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Eritrea,  Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Réunion, Rwanda, Seychelles, Somalia, Somaliland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe
