Currently, several African nations, including South Africa, Ethiopia, Somalia, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Algeria, are without Starlink services or any future promises of connectivity.

However, Starlink has pending applications in many African countries and plans to initiate service in 2025 for nations such as Senegal, Mauritius, Guinea, Mali, Chad, Cameroon, Togo, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Uganda, Tanzania, Angola, and Namibia.

Despite these plans, many African nations remain unserved by Starlink at this time, with various applications still pending.

To improve service and meet growing demand, Starlink is set to launch more satellites, which will enhance bandwidth availability.

This expansion is crucial, especially since sales in major urban areas of these countries have been paused due to high user demand.

In a recent statement, Starlink outlined its intentions to expand coverage by launching hundreds of satellites and developing a voice, data, and IoT constellation by 2025.

The company is also focused on expanding testing to ensure greater coverage across its service areas.

Notably, Starlink has achieved profitability in five African countries: Nigeria, Kenya, Madagascar, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

This profitability underscores the potential for further growth as Starlink continues to expand its satellite broadband service across the continent.
