I've noticed during my few months of italki discussion boards that we rarely/never see people from Africa engaging in any kind of topic (apart from my fellow egyptian and moroccan friends from north Africa, which I see in great numbers).

I browsed in the Language Partners sections and there are hundreds of people signed here from many different countries, all the way from east, west, central and south africa. So, they are here.

So, where are you guys? Are you reading this? Give a shout out, I'd love to learn more about your countries and your points of view, as I've met very few people from your continent.
