A lot of people outside Africa talk about Africa like it's one country. But, it's a large continent, and is e.g. 4 times bigger than the continental USA in area. A normal passenger jet, when flying from Cape Town, in South Africa, to Cairo, Egypt, at the other side of the African continent, would take about 10 and a half hours. (That's further than from Europe to the USA.) Africa is probably more diverse than Latin America. The only continent that's also a country, is Australia. There would often be e.g. Hollywood movies which would just say in Africa, but not which country.

There are now 54.
ALL countries in Africa are independent right now, if that was your question. No country is currently colonized.
