In 24: Redemption, what fictional African country is a main setting?

The story behind the answer

The fictional African country that serves as a main setting in *24: Redemption* is Sangala.

The television film takes place largely in Sangala, where former Counter Terrorist Unit agent Jack Bauer is doing missionary work at a school run by his friend Carl Benton. The setting places Bauer far from his usual American intelligence operations while still drawing him into a violent political crisis.

In the story, children are kidnapped, indoctrinated, and forced into a rebel militia led by General Benjamin Juma. The militia’s planned coup is secretly supported by an American organization connected to Jonas Hodges, linking the African conflict to the larger conspiracy that drives the seventh season of *24*.

Sangala is an invented country created for the *24* universe, not a real African nation. The answer can be confused with Zamunda, the fictional kingdom from *Coming to America*, Wakanda from Marvel’s comics and films, or Genovia from *The Princess Diaries*. *24: Redemption* aired as a television film between the show’s sixth and seventh seasons.
