Hello quizmaster. Thanks for making this quiz. But I have a few issues with it. The only person included in the quiz is a European. Most of the questions are about geography, wildlife, languages, and problems. I kindly ask that you include more questions about the people of Africa and African culture that's positive or at least neutral. Thanks.
