Except Algeria is not sub-Saharan...

Does Sudan count?

Somalia?

Eritrea?

When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done. — John M. Keynes

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.
