Articles about Country, ordered by date. 
Kenya
Thanks to Barack Obama and a piece of mobile technology, Kenya's reputation is now based on more than just safari parks, as Geoffrey Kamadi explains.
Tunisia
Tunisia continues to enjoy close economic and political ties with the US and Europe and benefits from billions of dollars of foreign investment.
Sierra Leone
Every home in Sierra Leone is well stocked with candles, gasoline lanterns and trusty flashlights. These are life essentials in the capital, Freetown, where electricity is intermittent at best.
Eritrea
The country, once one of Italy’s few colonial possessions, covers an 800-kilometre strip along Africa’s Red Sea coast, stretching from Sudan in the north to Djibouti in the south.
St Lucia
St Lucia’s stunning beauty, capped by the famous twin peaks of the Pitons, hides a turbulent history.
Niger
The top tourist destination in Niger until the late 1980s, the city of Agadez – located in the dead centre of the country – is today no more than a shadow of its former self.
Qatar
Nowhere near as religious as its neighbour, Saudi Arabia, nor as bling-obsessed as nearby United Arab Emirates, Qatar has astutely observed the paths other Gulf states have chosen, and then cherry-picked what seems to work best.
Malaysia
Visitors to Kuala Lumpur could be forgiven for thinking that they have landed in a highly developed nation. But hidden from the casual visitors’ view are the urban slums, crammed high-rise lowincome housing, rural villages still in poverty.
Belarus
A country at the edge of Europe home to wolves, bears, lynx and Europe's last dictator.
