African country to gain
independence - it depends how
you count them.
Ethiopia has been an
independent country for at least
2000 years. It was invaded by
Italy for a short time until the
Italians were overthrown on 5th
May 1941. It's generally
regarded that Ethiopia has never
been colonized and as such this
makes it the oldest independent
country in Africa.
Liberia which was formed on
26th June 1847. However, it was
a newly formed country so it
didn't gain it's independence as
such. If you exclude Ethiopia
then Liberia is Africa's oldest
independent country.
Liberia and Ethiopia aside there

independence prior to Ghana...
