03/18/25 Grif.Net - Africa Today Quiz
b...@grif.net
[Today’s quiz focuses on names of countries in Africa. In my lifetime, most the former European colonies have new names and many of the nations have changed their names, too. I will give you the OLD names and all you must do is give the PRESENT name of each country. Without Google, maps, Diary of David Livingstone (I presume), or artificial intelligence. This is NOT easy; what I learned in 4th grade world geography truly is “history”.]
