Naive question: How is the political situation between all these African countries? Are they "good enough friends" to make this work on from a political point of view?
For the most part I would say yes. I live in Canada but can tell you first hand there is a comradery among those expats from African countries that I feel is decidedly unique.
The analogy is if I was on vacation backpacking in Europe and ran into a fellow Canadian.
Mate, a good third of the countries on that list are currently suffering such brutal ethnic violence that it might be considered genocide. Close to half are riddled by islamic terrorism, usually directed towards ethnic minorites. At least two of them are in the middle of civil wars.
This comment made me realize that South Sudan isn’t on the map in despite the power grid near it.
