My mom says there's a lot of Jewish people in Africa

Here are some of the Jewish ethnogroups I know:

Ashkenazi (Jews who lived in Germany, Scandivia, and Eastern Europe). This is the largest group.
Sephardi (Jews who lived in Spain, Portugal, France).
Mizrahi (Jews who lived in the Middle East the whole time)
Maghrebi (those who lived in North Africa).

(sometimes the last 2 are grouped with Sephardi).

There are groups of Jews in Africa, for example in Ethopia, but they werent treated to well in Israel.
