South Sudan

Seems to belong to EASTERN Africa, not Northern Africa. See https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49regin.htm --77.49.98.226 (talk) 17:26, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I moved it. South Sudan was initially placed in Northern Africa upon its creation. The UN probably moved it in the last revision of the geoscheme, which was on 28 Nov 2012. Spacepotato (talk) 04:08, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Niger and Mali as apart of Central Africa or Northern Africa

Not sure if this is a UN sanctioned designation, just wondering if these countries would be better placed culturally in Central or Northern Africa — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cobylefko (talk • contribs) 07:48, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Missing regions

Three African UNSD regions from the source of this article (ultimately https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/#geo-regions) are missing:

Sub-Saharan Africa (made up of Eastern Africa, Middle Africa, Southern Africa, and Western Africa)
British Indian Ocean Territory (in the Eastern Africa region)
French Southern Territories (in the Eastern Africa region)

I've tried to add them but the update was anonymously reverted multiple times as "completely unnecessary". Is there a reason these Afrian UNSD regions should be excluded form the article? DRMcCreedy (talk) 23:48, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
