"French is a global language, spoken by 300 million people around the world.
Africa, a region of strategic global importance, is home to the largest number
of French speakers.

French is the sole official language in 11 African countries and the second
official language in an additional 10 countries in Africa.

Africa plays a key role in both the present and future of French, a fact which
has been recognised by the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie. The
organisation, which observed its 50th anniversary in 2020, has its roots in
Africa. Its current president, Louise Mushikiwabo, is from Africa."
