Best Answer

The African continent extends across a longitude range from 17.5° west to 51.3° east.

You're welcome to draw as many or as few lines in that range as suit your comfort, and

name them too if you're moved to do that. The only meridian of special note in that

range is the Prime Meridian, at zero longitude.
