Recently the senior associates at Security Management International decided to see how many countries in Africa they had collectively traveled to. The answer, we’re proud to say, was all of them – 55 countries in total. That is a highly diverse array of nations. This number includes North Africa (the Middle Eastern or Arab portion of the continent), the Sub-Sahara, as well as the island nations off both the northwestern and southeastern coasts. It also accounts for the world’s newest nation – South Sudan (in which I write this today).
