Many countries of the African continent have left medium wave band last years. It is obvious from comparison of the various editions of WRTH. Algeria, Botswana, Egypt, Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria and Sudan are still keeping well-developed MW networks, however number of MW transmitters in Nigeria has dropped drastically. In general, number of the African countries which are using these bands has decreased by almost half since 1990's:
