Let's see:

Zaire/Congo (could probably count as several, but hey - one)
Angola
Rwanda (with side ordre of genocide)
Algeria (I think it counts as civil war)
Mozambique
Sierra Leone
Cote d'Ivoire
Nigeria (low level, but permanent)

sigh... maybe it would be simpler to list the countries with no civil war there...

Except Algeria is not sub-Saharan...

Does Sudan count?

Somalia?

Eritrea?

A reasonable definition of sub-Saharan would leave Sudan as simply Saharan - but since wikipedia does not agree with my definition of reasonable - I say Sudan counts. And Somalia too. (Good thing there has not been a civil war in Mauretania the last ten years, as the definitions on Sub-Saharan difers with respect to that particular country.)

I would argue that Eritrea does not count as the Eritrean-Ethiopian civil war ended in 1993, and later violent conflict within Eritrea has not risen to the level of war. The uncivil Eritrean-Ethiopian post-1993 conflict escalated to war, but with both states widely recognised it is not civil war.
