Which of These Is Not an African Country: Chile, Algeria, Ethiopia, or Zaire?

The answer is Chile. Located on the western edge of South America, Chile is a long, narrow country stretching along the Pacific coast. In contrast, Algeria (North Africa), Ethiopia (Horn of Africa), and Zaire (the former name of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Central Africa) are all situated on the African continent.

This question often appears in geography quizzes to test knowledge of continental boundaries. While Zaire was renamed the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1997, it remains a well-known historical reference for the Central African nation.
