The ANOC president and superintendent said:  “We created Africa Village to offer to the public, the National Olympics Committees and African athletes a unique opportunity to fully participate in the Olympics festivities, whatever their means.

This area will act as an exceptional showcase for our continent in the eyes of the general public.”

 

The village represents the richness and diversity of the whole Africa continent, all in one place:…
