The Nile is the longest river in Africa

The answer is True.

Explanation

It is widely recognized as the longest river in Africa and traditionally considered the longest in the world, with a length of approximately 6,650 kilometers (4,130 miles). While some modern studies suggest the Amazon may be longer depending on where its source is measured, the Nile remains the longest river on the African continent. It is formed by the White Nile and the Blue Nile, which meet at Khartoum, the capital of Sudan.
