Further to the c/k bit: it is Afrika in German, and the Germans have exploited parts of the continent just as much as the British or the French. They exterminated the Herero tribe in present-day Namibia (then German South-West Africa) in 1907, for instance -- look it up in Wikipedia.

So I still don't see what point anyone may think they are making with this tendentious and affected orthography.
