http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Africa shows which parts of the world including Africa were under French rule. Most Africans also speak their native language(s) and various trade languages among which English.
I remember that when I was in the Gambia (the smallest country on the African mainland) the population of less than a million back then spoke seven native languages, English (official language) and French because they are totally surrounded by Senegal which was a former French colony. So for linguists Africa is like paradise ...
