5) Main religion is Islam.
6) Tons of stuff about ancient Egypt history and religion/art.
7) First Christian church.

Clearly, I don't know very much. My first focus should probably be on basic statistics and the state along with economics. It seems like the best route to take, that information would be a sold foundation to begin with.
I won't focus my project on female genital mutilation. It's just not something I think I could mentally handle well. A clip from a video I saw a month and a half ago still flashes through my mind without warning and affects my mood. However, everything else is a possibility. It's probably best if I stay away from ancient Egypt since I've had a class on it, but the draw might be irresistible.
