Is the smallest country in Africa Equatorial Guinea? Or could it possibly be Djibouti?

I looked and it also could be Seychelles? I am confused...please help.

I was going to say The Gambia, but I'd have been wrong!!

Or maybe Sao Tome????Anybody know?????

The website that Writeacher posted has the answer.

Here is another hint i got..It's 186 to 155 miles off the north west coast of Gabon...

Oh it's Mayotte, right?

yes

But it doesn't match the other hint my teacher gave me...Sao Tome does...Should I email her and ask?

The only problem is that Mayotte is not off the northwest coast of Gabon. Mayotte is a dependency of France -- so may not be considered a country.

It looks like Sao Tome is the right answer.
