Africa is a very mysterious continent, that a place hidden beneath the dense rainforest. Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most-populous continent, after Asia. Africa has abundant natural resources; also African art and architecture reflect the diversity of African cultures. By most estimates, well over a thousand languages are spoken in Africa.

As the religion, forty five per cent (45%) of Africans are Christian, 40% are Muslim and 15% practice indigenous or local religions. The African religions are usually monotheist and many originate from or are mixed with Christian practices. Most Africans marry within their own ethnic groups. There are 56 countries in Africa; we have 2 classmates Janvier from Rwanda and Ariane from Burundi. Next, my partner will introduce the similar and different between these two countries for you.
