Africa wins again is a traditional African phrase denoting the defeat of travel plans by the harsh weather of the continent. It has been adopted as a catchphrase on the Internet, used to sarcastically respond to stories of odd human behavior in Africa, especially behavior perceived as unlikely to happen on other continents. For example, a story of baboons eating human babies in South Africa, or a Ugandan political leader challenging his rival to a boxing match would be met with "Africa wins again."

In the West African dialect of English, the interjection "wa-wa" is understood to stand for "West Africa wins again." This expression is used to refer to political troubles in general, and also by white West Africans who find difficulty in communicating with black Africans.
