I do think it should be here, since it's not in the Biggest Cities in Europe quiz.

Please, please do one with a map! I have spent years working, travelling and studying in Africa -- this quiz took me down memory lane! Verrrry surprised by some, like Uvira in the DRC. I have passed through Uvira dozens of times, it is a mudhole -- never would have thought it could possibly be considered one of the biggest "cities" in Africa.

I would love to see a shorter one, like 100 countries, and I desperately wish for a map to help the thought process! Otherwise I do not see how it would ever be possible to finish ... especially considering the many, many alternative spellings, both north and south of the Sahara!

Thanks for a fun challenge.
