Is the smallest country in Africa Equatorial Guinea? Or could it possibly be Djibouti?

I was going to say The Gambia, but I'd have been wrong!!

Here is another hint i got..It's 186 to 155 miles off the north west coast of Gabon...
Answered by Alyonka
Oh it's Mayotte, right?
Answered by Writeacher
yes
Answered by Alyonka
But it doesn't match the other hint my teacher gave me...Sao Tome does...Should I email her and ask?
Answered by Ms. Sue
The only problem is that Mayotte is not off the northwest coast of Gabon. Mayotte is a dependency of France -- so may not be considered a country.

It looks like Sao Tome is the right answer.
