malaria has been quite a serious problem in Africa for a while now, as in these African countries mosquitoes spread the disease and many people do not have money to buy mosquito nets nor pay for treatment should they catch a disease. There has also been a recent Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea but this is now under control.

When did Africa arrive at the location it is in today?

Africa, as a continent, has existed in its current geographical position for millions of years, shaped by tectonic movements and geological processes. The modern configuration of Africa began to take shape around 200 million years ago during the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea. Over time, the continent has continued to drift, but its relative position has remained stable in recent geological history. Today, Africa is situated as the second-largest continent, bordered by the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
