More than 90% of Africans are proud of their continent, a new survey conducted for the BBC shows. While many people in the rest of the world see Africa as plagued by war and poverty, many Africans are far more positive about their lives. The majority say their family will be better off, or the same, this year compared to last. This survey of African attitudes is a rare event. More than 7,500 people were interviewed in 10 countries.
