1. A cooperative, international military instead of an organized military force.

Explanation:

The African Union is a new organization. Its objectives are very similar to those of the European Union, just for the African countries of course. It is an organization that is supposed to bring in all African countries together, to collaborate, help each other, trade freely, and protect each other.

One big similarity with the European Union is that the African Union has a cooperative, international military instead of an organized military force. While this is a good idea when it comes to protecting the sovereignty of the countries and the people, in practice the forces of the African Union, as well as its predecessor organization, have turned to be highly inefficient, and they will need lot of improvement.

2. False.

Explanation:

The Arab League is an organization that has its goals mainly on economic and military support between its member states. As the name suggests, the Arab League is consisted of Arab countries, which are also all Muslim countries.

This doesn't mean that all Muslim countries in the region are members of the Arab League though. Iran is an example of a country that is not a member state. The reason as to why Iran is not a member state is because of the traditional rivalry, religious tensions between the Shiite and Shia Muslims, as well as the different political ideologies.

3. During European colonialism

Explanation:

The African states mostly have superimposed borders. These are types of borders where the people of those countries had no say in it, but instead it was foreign powers that made the decision. This has made huge problems in the African countries and still is.

The majority of the borders that we see nowadays were actually made during the European colonization. Basically, the Europeans had divided the continent into territories controlled by them, and when the time came for the African countries to gain independence, the Europeans just made official the colonial borders for most countries.

4. False

Explanation:

The Middle East is a region that is defined differently by different sources, but in no case it is a region that is entirely on the African continent. The region is known for multiple things, such as being the cradle of civilization, cradle of the three Abrahamic religions, being constantly in war, possessing one of the largest reserves of oil and gas, and being predominantly Muslim.

As I said, the region is defined differently by different sources. The core of the region in every case is the Arabian Peninsula, together with the Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Syria, and Israel. In some cases though, Afghanistan is included as part of the region, while in some cases Egypt is included. Rarely, even Turkey and Libya are put into this region.

5. False

Explanation:

In the past one hundred years, the Middle East has been anything but peaceful. In fact, the region has constantly been in conflict, and the reasons for that have been numerous. Also, the fact that the Middle East is of great interest for all of the developed and powerful counties and they mingle into the region, doesn't help at all in its stabilizing.

Initially the conflicts were in order to become free from the Ottoman Empire and later from the colonists. After that though, started conflicts on religious basis, between the Muslims and the Jews, and between the Shia and Shiite Muslims. The conflicts have also continued in order to get more resources, mainly gas and oil. And last but not least, the formation of powerful terrorist organizations with lot of support, also created large scale conflicts in order to achieve their ideals to create a caliphate.
