Africa

Gathers the regions of Sub-Saharan Africa outside the Near Eastern Nile valley of Egypt: North Africa's own Maghreb, West Africa and Yorubaland, Central Africa and the Congo and Ituri basins, East Africa and Lake Victoria, the Aksumite highlands, Buganda, the White Nile and Southern Africa. A member belongs here for naming a place within Sub-Saharan Africa, distinct from Egypt and the Near East to its northeast, which forms its own heading given how differently its religious history is documented and studied.
