The population of Shi'a in Africa is composed of several, primarily heterodox, communities:

  • Persecuted Shia adherents in northern Nigeria.
  • Shia Islam in Senegal, brought by the Lebanese Sheikh Abdul-Mun'am Az-zain. The Sheikh built Shi'a schools and mosques and helped send Senegalese to Iran or Lebanon to study the religion. 7% of Senegalese people practice Shi'a Islam, most of whom are Twelvers.
  • Highly persecuted low profile Shia Muslims in Egypt.[1]
  • According to two studies by the Pew Research Center around 20% of Muslims in Chad and Tanzania are Shia Muslims.[2][3]
  • Ismaili communities, most of which were established by immigrants from South Asia.[4] These populations are found in:

    • Central Africa, Burundi, Rwanda, and Zaire
