There are 47 countries on the African continent, including the disputed territory of Western Sahara. However, the islands off the coast are also usually listed as African, bringing the total to 53. The island nations are Cape Verde, SÃ£o TomÃ© and PrÃncipe, Madagascar, the Comoros, the Seychelles, and Mauritius. Each is an independent nation.
