| dc.description.abstract | The article is a compilation of data and information about Armenian travelers, inhabitants and communities in Northern, Central and Southern Africa, a change from the history of Armenians in African countries like Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan, which are relatively better researched. The first evidence of the Armenian presence in Africa is in the Jugurthine War (between Rome and Numidia) in 115-105 B.C., when Armenian soldiers remained in Northern Africa and participated in the formation of the Moor nation. In the early Middle Ages several Armenian military figures from the Byzantine Empire led military operations in Northern Africa. During the medieval period of few Armenians appear occasionally in various parts of the African continent. The first Armenian settlements in Algeria and Libya are dated in the 1880s. Groups of Armenian survivors from the genocide in the Ottoman Empire in 1915-1922 settled in Algeria. Tunisia and Morocco, after arriving there by sea. In 1955-1956 there were 80 Armenian families (about 400 people) in Morocco, 120 families (circa 500 people) in Algeria, 25 families (around 80 people) in Tunisia and 70-80 families in Libya. At the beginning of the 20th century some Armenians settled in different parts of "black" Africa. Some of the ethnic Zairians belonged to the Armenian Apostolic Church. Large Armenian communities existed in Nigeria and South Africa. Generally, the Armenians were involved in business, trade and crafts. Armenian artists and intellectuals contributed to the growth and development of local architectural, public health and scientific activities in diverse African states. | |
