How many countries are in Africa? What is a continent? What is a country?

Why do you think most of us know more about Europe than Africa?

Where do we get our information about Africa?

Band Aid – Feed the World But say a prayer, pray for the other ones At Christmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun There's a world outside your window, and it's a world of dread and fear Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime The greatest gift they'll get this year is life (Oooh) Where nothing ever grows No rain or rivers flow Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
