8. Kenya
percentage/number of white people: 0.2% or around 103 500
We’re continuing our list of African countries with the largest white population in 2018 with the country from East Africa, that sits on the equator. The country’s population is very diverse, while beside Kiswahili, English is also its official language. European colonization of the country began in the XIX century, with the British Empire establishing the East Africa Protectorate. Almost 80 years after, the Independent Republic of Kenya is formed. Over the past few years, there’s been bad blood between white landowners and black people of Kenya, since drought caused people to “struggle over the available water for their livestock”, while more than 65% of country’s arable land is in hands of 36 white settlers.
