Top 10 Strongest Countries in Africa “SHOCKING”

What does it mean to live in a strong country? Does it mean complete safety and happiness or more wars for destroying this strong country? Africa is the 2^nd largest continent in the world; however, it is ranked as the 1^st one in terms of the number of problems from which it suffers such as those which are associated with bad economy, civil wars, corruption, bad health care, low quality of life, low salaries, bad education, oppression and other problems that can lead to the destruction of a country without the need for any other additional factors. However, there are some countries that are located in Africa and are described as strong countries because of owning powerful armies. Most of these strong countries have large reserves, strong economy, produce oil and can depend on themselves to some extent for protecting the country instead of resorting to other powerful countries that are known as the superpowers. The economic situation and military strength in the strong countries that are located in Africa may come to be worse than other powerful countries in the world, but they are better than many countries that are located in the same continent which is Africa or other surrounding continents. Let’s stop talking too much to start revealing the top 10 strongest countries in Africa and try to guess the country which holds the 1^st position on the list. “You will not be able to do that because it is difficult to be expected”.
