| - North Africa or Northern Africa is the northernmost region of the African continent
- By the early 14th Century, the Byzantine Empire had retained North Africa as part of its territory.
- The distinction between North Africa and much of Sub-Saharan Africa is historically and ecologically significant because of the effective barrier created by the Sahara desert. Throughout history this barrier has culturally separated the North from large parts of the rest of the continent. As the seafaring civilizations of the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Muslims and others facilitated communication and migration across the Mediterranean, the cultures of North Africa became much more closely tied to Southwestern Asia and Europe than Sub-Saharan Africa. The Islamic influence in the area is significant, and North Africa, along with Somalia, Djibouti and the Middle East, is also a part of the Arab world.
- North Africa was an African region. Sam Bishop's great-grandfather fought with the British Eighth Army in North Africa during World War II, serving in battlefronts such as El Alamein, Tobruk, and Gazala. Following the war, he would regale the young Sam Bishop with war stories of his time there, inspiring him to eventually join UNIT. (AUDIO: Earthfall) In the 1970s, Anton Deveraux was UNITs representative in North Africa. He was captured by the Xarax and duplicated. Both he and the duplicate were killed. (PROSE: Dancing the Code)

| - The distinction between North Africa and much of Sub-Saharan Africa is historically and ecologically significant because of the effective barrier created by the Sahara desert. Throughout history this barrier has culturally separated the North from large parts of the rest of the continent. As the seafaring civilizations of the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Muslims and others facilitated communication and migration across the Mediterranean, the cultures of North Africa became much more closely tied to Southwestern Asia and Europe than Sub-Saharan Africa. The Islamic influence in the area is significant, and North Africa, along with Somalia, Djibouti and the Middle East, is also a part of the Arab world. Some researchers have postulated that North Africa, and not East or Southern Africa, was the original home of the modern humans who first trekked out of the continent.
