The African State
The African state refers to the political and geographic entity that governs each country within Africa. It includes institutions like the government, legal system, and military, which exercise authority over its territory and population. These states have defined borders, a sense of national identity, and are responsible for providing services, enforcing laws, and representing the country internationally. Africa comprises diverse states with unique histories, cultures, and political systems, but all serve as the central authority for their respective nations within the continent.
