A new survey by Afrobarometer, the Pan-African research network, says Africans are likely to prioritize their national identity over their ethnic one, or to equally feel allegiance to both. In a survey conducted across 33 countries, Afrobarometer also found that Africans have no objection to living next door to people from different ethnic backgrounds and are open to inter-ethnic marriages. Maakwe Cumanzala (Choo-mahn-zah-lah), one of the researchers, tells VOA’s James Butty, only a small minority in all countries expressed allegiance to their ethnic identity.
