    Africa can be divided into two zones: Saharan Africa in the north and Sub-Saharan Africa. Saharan Africa, also known as North Africa, is inhabited by Arabs who practice Islam and was historically colonized by France and Britain. Its economy relies on petroleum and tourism. Sub-Saharan Africa faces challenges like poverty, overpopulation, and famine, which have led Somalis to resort to piracy in an important shipping lane near the Horn of Africa due to their strategic location and difficult circumstances following conflicts.
