Religion

Religion in Africa is varied. There are many tribal religions in which there is

more than one God. Also, in Northern Africa Islamic and Muslim religions

are common. Near Southern Africa, mix religions are common due to

immigration and multiculturalism.

Politics

Many countries in Africa use democratic or republic government systems.

Some tribal communities have leaders that are elected by birth or by skill,

but most major countries have elections although bias has been

discovered in some electoral proceedings in Africa. Including just recently

in Zimbabwe, where the two political parties caused such turmoil that the

life expectancy dropped to an all time low in the country. This is one

negative outcome of African politics. One positive event in African politics

is the election of Nelson Mandela in South Africa. The ‘ups and downs’ of

politics found in Africa are similar to those found around the world.
