The 300 biggest cities in Africa by "city population" not "urban area populaion" according to http://data.mongabay.com/igapo/Africa_cities.htm . *Data is estimates from the year 2002. This is a true challenge!
There are a few typos but I'm mainly concerned about the names that are accepted. I tried everything for Shubra al Khaymah, but it turns out the only acceptable answer is Subra al-Haymah. Also, Algeria is definitely not a city. But other places like Fez and Marrakech should definitely be accepted as Fes or Marrakesh. Mansoura, Fayyum, Damanhour, Wad Madani, Qena, and some others should be accepted as well.
The quiz is now updated.
Bloemfontain? Bloemfontein.
Tanger? Tangier.
