      That’s interesting. I’m in Canada, and I’ve met people from every country in Africa on that list… *except* Morocco.

      I don’t see where you extracted this information from your source.

      In Australia, South Africa accounts for over 40% of African-born.

      South Africa 189204
      Egypt 43214
      Zimbabwe 39712
      Mauritius 25973
      Kenya 22350
      Sudan 16613 (most from what is now south Sudan)
      Ethiopia 14087
      Nigeria 12879
      South Sudan 8254
      Somalia 8102

      from 2021 census

      Interesting. In the U.S. Somalis are concentrated in Minnesota. In Europe in Scandinavia. Must all really hate the hot climate they grew up in.

    7. Method__Man on

      I’m legit very surprised it’s Morocco for Canada. I’ve never met a Moroccan that I knew, but I’ve met countless Nigerians and Ethiopians. Loads of Egyptians too

    8. Albekvol on

      Poland and Zimbabwe seems incredibly random. I would honestly have thought it’d be a North African country or something. Is there a story there, like with the Vietnamese and Chinese diasporas ?

    10. RecycledPanOil on

      This is really poor data. Why not have it divided by states at least in the US.

    11. aronenark on

      Nigeria has almost certainly passed Morocco for African Canadians, by now. There is a growing wave of Nigerian immigration here.
