There is a significant Asian presence in Africa of at least 3 million people. Most have arrived following European settlement in 1930s; however, there is continued immigration to the continent to pursue economic opportunities.[1]
National Geographic also published an article by Frank Viviano; in July 2005, he visited Pate Island. During the time he stayed on Lamu, ceramic fragments had been found around Lamu which the administrative officer of the local Swahili history museum claimed were of Chinese origin, specifically from Zheng He's voyage to east Africa. The eyes of the Pate people resembled Chinese and Famao and Wei were some of the names among them which were speculated to be of Chinese origin. Their ancestors were said to be from indigenous women who intermarried with Chinese Ming sailors when they were shipwrecked. Two places on Pate were called "Old Shanga", and "New Shanga", which the Chinese sailors had named. A local guide who claimed descent from the Chinese showed Frank a graveyard made out of coral on the island, indicating that they were the graves of the Chinese sailors, which the author described as "virtually identical", to Chinese Ming dynasty tombs, complete with "half-moon domes" and "terraced entries".[73]
Many Chinese men working in Africa have married Black African women in Angola, South Africa, Gabon, Tanzania, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Lagos in Nigeria, Congo & Ethiopia and fathered children with them.[74]
Many Chinese men who engaged in gold mining in Ghana married local Black African Ghanaian women and had children with them and then the Ghana government deported illegal miners, leaving the mixed race Chinese fathered children stranded in Ghana while their fathers were sent back to China.[75][76]
A Chinese man abandoned his Nigerian Ogun girlfriend Tope Samuel with their child in Ogun state.[77]
Many Ugandan women have been marrying Chinese businessmen who moved to Uganda.[78]
Gabonese politician Jean Ping is the son of a Chinese father and Gabonese mother.
New interest in Kenya's natural resources has attracted over $1 billion of investment from Chinese firms. This has propelled new development in Kenya's infrastructure with Chinese firms bringing in their own male workers to build roads.[79] The temporary residents usually arrive without their spouses and families. Thus, a rise of incidents involving local college-aged females has resulted in an increased rate of Afro-Chinese infant births to single Kenyan mothers.[80]
In Kenya there is a trend of the following influx of Chinese male workers in Kenya with a growing number of abandoned babies of Chinese men who fathered children with local women, causing concern.[81][82]
Indians in Africa
The Indian community in Africa is found throughout the continent with large communities existing in South Africa, Mauritius, Réunion, and other parts of the continent. The arrival of Indians on the continent often coincides with the expanding European presence on the continent. There continues to be a notable Indian presence with numbers currently estimating roughly 2,750,000 Indians on the continent. There have historically been and continue to be tensions between Indians and native African communities throughout the continent. The most notable example being the expulsion of Indians by Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. Other Indians came more recently to Africa as traders and professional workers especially in Mozambique with its huge group of Indians. The 70,000 Indians in Mozambique have had a long history with their origins in Mozambique. The African nations with the largest Indian communities are South Africa with 1,560,000, Mauritius with 894,000, Nigeria with 800,000[7] to 1,000,000,[83] Réunion with 280,250,[2] Kenya with 110,000, Mozambique with 70,000, Tanzania with 60,000, Uganda with 50,000, Madagascar with 25,000, Zambia with 13,000 [24] and Ghana, Malawi, the Seychelles and Zimbabwe with 10,000. 8,000 Indians live in Botswana, 8,000 in São Tomé and Príncipe,[53] 3,000 in Rwanda,[61] 2,700 in South Sudan,[56]Burundi with 2,000,[62] and Eritrea with 1,200.[63] 20,000 foreigners of which 4,372 are Indians work in the DR Congo for MONUSCO.[31] People from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Uruguay are the main workers for MONUSCO in the DR Congo.
The first Indians in South Africa arrived on the Cape of Good Hope as slaves brought by the Dutch East Indies Company in 1654, however these slaves were fully assimilated into the Afrikaner and Coloured communities.[84][85] The most significant migrations of Indians came when the Natal become a British colony and large numbers were brought as indentured labourers. Often serving as labourers on sugar plantations, but also in coal mines. More than 150,000 Indians were brought to the Natal over the course of 5 decades. The long term result was that by 1904 the Indian presence in the Natal outnumbered the white presence.[86] The Indian community has faced legal discrimination.[87]
In 1887, the British East Africa Association was formed in Bombay, and was later given a Royal Charter becoming the Imperial British East Africa Association. In 1895 the East Africa Protectorate took over the assets and personnel of the Imperial British East Africa Association, and began construction of the Uganda Railway. Recruitment for the railway was outsourced to A.M. Jeevanjee of Karachi, and large numbers of labourers sourced from the Punjab. Over the course of six years, 32,000 labourers were recruited.[88] Many settled in the region at the end of their contracts and brought family over from India. These early settlers were accompanied by increasing numbers of migrants from Gujarat, Punjab, and western India seeking out new opportunities in the region.
Large numbers of the Asian community left east Africa in the 1960s and 1970s due to racial tensions post-independence. In 1972, Idi Amin, dictator of Uganda, expelled all Asians and confiscated their property. At the time, Asians accounted for 90% of the country's businesses and tax revenues.[27] Since the 1980s, the Ugandan government has encouraged the return of those Asians who were expelled.
On 22 July 2017, the Asian community were officially recognised as the 44th tribe of Kenya, recognising the community's contribution to Kenya from the dawn of the nation.[89]
Lebanese in Africa
Over 500,000 people from Lebanon moved to Africa.[90] 30,000 to 75,000 Lebanese people live in Nigeria,[9] and 40,000 live in Senegal.[39] 3,000 Lebanese live in Liberia, representing 0.1% of its population.[58] As of 1984, 30,000 Lebanese people lived in Sierra Leone.[91]
Syrians in Africa
300,000 refugees from Syria moved to Egypt according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[92] 250,000 refugees from Syria moved to Sudan in recent years.[93] They represent 0.6% of its total population. Most of the Syrians live in Khartoum, where they represent an estimated 4% of the total population.
Austronesians
The Merina people of Madagascar along with the Betsileo tribe are likely of Austronesian descent. Together, they represent about 35% of the population of the island of Madagascar. These two dominant ethnic groups are commonly accepted as indigenous to Madagascar, though they are likely descendants of Malay and Polynesian immigrations. For example, the Malagasy language is unrelated to nearby African languages, instead being the westernmost member of the Malayo-Polynesian branch of the Austronesian language family.
Eurasians in Africa
Here is a list with the 12 million Eurasians living in Africa, see also White Africans of European ancestry. The countries in the list are ranked by population of non-African heritage, followed by main immigration country. The amount of mixed race Africans with at least one Eurasian ancestor is over 10% of the total population of Africa, or at least 150 million people. 6.2 million Eurasians live in Southern Africa (9.2% of total population), 2.4 million in Western Africa (0.59%), 2.2 million in Eastern Africa (0.49%), 931,000 in Northern Africa (0.36%) and 570,000 in Central Africa (0.31%).
South Africa 5,860,000 (Netherlands, 10% of total population) 11 million including mixed race
Nigeria 1,261,000 (India, 0.52% of total population)
Mauritius 939,000 (India, 74.2% of total population)
Somalia 3,000 (United States, 0.02% of total population) Over 10% including mixed race
Niger 2,000 (France, 0.01% of total population) Over 1% including mixed race

Eritrea 1,200 (India, 0.02% of total population) Over 10% including mixed race
Angola also has 1 million people of mixed race (black and white), accounting for 3% of its total population.[94] South Africa has 5,176,000 coloureds, Namibia 143,000 and Zimbabwe 17,000. At least 80 million people or 8% of the people living in Sub-Saharan Africa are Eurasians, mixed race (50% African and 50% Eurasian) or have at least one Eurasian ancestor. Ethiopia has 56 million,[95] Egypt 50 million,[96] South Africa 11 million[97] and Madagascar 8 million.[98] At least 10% of the people from Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mauritius, Namibia, the Seychelles, Somalia and South Africa have Eurasian ancestors. At least 10% of the people from Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia also have Eurasian ancestors. The majority of the people from the Canary Islands, Cape Verde and Réunion have European ancestors. 1,425,760 white people live on the Canary Islands, which is part of Spanish Africa. 260,000 white people live on Réunion, which is part of the French territories in Africa. 2,500 Eurasian MINUSMA personnel, many from Bangladesh, China and Germany, live in Mali[99] 3,000 soldiers from France, 3,000 other Chinese and 2,000 Syrians[100] also live in Mali, which results in over 10,000 Eurasians living in Mali.

^Patton, Dominique. "Chinese companies eye Kenya's roads". Responding to a reporter’s question earlier this week about Chinese firms bringing many of their own workers to Africa, he said: “We seek common development for both China and African countries. We try to pursue common prosperity of both sides.” He added that China’s strong ties with Africa have provided many countries with “high quality projects, reduced construction costs” and faster construction times. The trend for growing investment on the continent certainly looks set to increase. Mr Chen said that “the Chinese business community has bucked the trend” this year, investing $875 million in Africa in the first nine months, an increase of 77.5 per cent over the same period of 2008. In total, China had invested $7.8 billion in the continent by the end of 2008. Business Daily. Archived from the original on 2013-01-27. Retrieved 2012-05-13.

Mbilu, Sally. "20yr Old Girl Looking for Her Chinese Baby Daddy". A 20-year-old girl from Murera in Ruiru, is frantically searching for a man of Chinese extraction she claims impregnated her last year. Patricia Nyeri, a student at Murera high school, camped at the Thika super highway construction site looking for the father of her child, who she says worked at the site, at the time. It was a search that saw her thoroughly scrutinize the men working at the site for hours, yet she failed to identify her baby's father, saying all the Chinese men looked alike.
