African Commonwealth Nations

African Commonwealth Nations The accompanying in sequential order list gives the date at which every African Country joined the Commonwealth of Nations as an autonomous state. Most of African nations joined as Commonwealth Realms, later changing over to Commonwealth Republics. Two nations, Lesotho and Swaziland, joined as Kingdoms. English Somaliland (which got together with Italian Somaliland five days in the wake of picking up autonomy in 1960 to frame Somalia), and Anglo-British Sudan (which turned into a republic in 1956) didn't become individuals from the Commonwealth of Nations. Egypt, which had been a piece of the Empire until 1922, has never demonstrated an enthusiasm for turning into a part.
