2. Liberia
According to Nations Encyclopedia, Indigenous African tribes constitute about 95% of the entire population of Liberia. Liberia is also populated by about 28 ethnic groups who migrated from the north and east and brought with them elements of Egyptian and Arabian culture each with its own language. About 2.5% of the population are descendants of immigrants from the United States (Americo-Liberians). When the freed slaves from the American South relocated to what we now know as Liberia, they wanted to create an independent republic and live freely. They formed the Republic of Liberia, the first republic in Africa. According to the Encyclopedia, tribal divisions are becoming less distinct due to intermarriage and an aggressive national unification program. However, there is a strong tendency among the indigenous people to preserve their identity.
