Africa Newly Divided?

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 November 2008

Extract

The map of Africa was once notorious for bearing the various colours of the European colonial powers. Today the map of post-independence Africa is newly and neatly divided between the 18 independent African states which have chosen to become associated by treaty with the European Economic Community (E.E.C.) or Common Market, and the 16 independent African states which have either rejected such an association or—as with Egypt, Ethiopia, Liberia, Libya, South Africa, and the Sudan—were never offered the possibility of becoming associated.

Surinam and the Dutch East Indies has not been included in Annex IV to the Treaty of Rome, and the Dutch were anxious that they should receive associate status. This has since been granted, with a special provision governing imports of refined oil from the Dutch East Indies.
