Literal Name Translation of Every Country in Africa

Words, names, whatever we call things, have some echo in history.  This is especially so with the names of countries.  Many African countries have reused the names of ancient kingdoms.  Some of them, such as Egypt, have names given by civilisations that are long gone.  Some of them, such as Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe, were named by their colonial powers.  In this case, it was the Portuguese.  Names have history, and Africa, the Dark Continent, is a place where much of our history and prehistory began.
