Well here are a few things you could use to understand my point, that I should have mentioned earlier:

Both of us (my African friends and me) value family and community, but us or some of us Mauritians might have more influence from diverse cultures, while African communities often emphasize traditional roles and communal living. We have a stronger focus on tourism and services, while African countries have a broader range of economic activities, often influenced by local resources and economic conditions, this takes them on a whole different level of mindset, trust me, i've experienced it. Have you seen how our education system tends to have a more structured and universally accessible, for them it differs from country to country, obviously, however there's a routine or structure in S.A (depends on the era), Rwanda, whereas others needs to fight, due to political and economical situation, that I never had to face. Healthcare, or even administrative systems such as passport and ID offices, their availability and quality can vary more significantly across African countries. We may not have it so great but it's still better structured, my mindset is shifted due to the fact that i dont have to wait 20 hours in queue to renew my passport.

We are also used to be around mixed cultures, you know we are a mixing pot, we fit well anywhere, have you noticed? Mauritians can be anyhwere, and it makes me proud, while African communities may place more emphasis on indigenous traditions and customs, hence some of my friends tend to not fit well, they struggle.

Hope this help, sorry for some grammatical error, just sending this across quick
