struggling to remember west african states (lemmygrad.ml)

so im making a concerted effort to really get on top of my world map and I find most regions relatively easy, based on my historical geopolitical understanding, to figure out where most countries are, but west africa has a lot of relatively smaller states which i really struggle to remember... any tips (apps, books, political stories about the region)? the gambia is goated for being river shaped obviously

central america is also not so easy and the pacific islands (which i haven't really got around to yet)

Senegal is a glove holding Gambia sitting on top of Guinea-Bissau which is above the bigger Guinea. Togo then Benin.

This helped me place the countries very well. Thank you for this method of remembering.

Glad it helped! Thank you for inspiring me to study the African States. I had been meaning to for a few months now.
