The African diaspora is one of the most expansive and impactful diasporas in world history. It includes over 140 million people of African descent living outside the continent, connected by shared ancestry, cultural survival, and a legacy of resilience. From the Americas to Europe, the Middle East to South Asia, the diaspora has shaped global culture, politics, economics, and identity.
This article provides a regional breakdown of major African diaspora communities, estimates of their population sizes, cultural and economic contributions, and the growing influence they wield today. It also highlights the millions of continental Africans—such as Ethiopians, Nigerians, and others—who are part of a rapidly expanding voluntary diaspora.
