Some African countries are simply impossible to travel to on a OW Explorer because they can only be reached from Europe.
For instance: Libya, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Angola, Zambia, Equatorial Guinea
So - the only way to fly into any of these countries is from Europe, and the only way to fly out from any of these countries is by flying back to Europe

But to do so would entail visiting Europe twice - and the rules don't allow this

Not completely true of course becuase you can indeed transit Europe on your way to the next continent so for instance my DONE5 itinerary next month allows me to visit Ghana:

xxx-HEL-VIE-LHR-ACC-xLHR-LAX-xxx

You could of course substitute ACC for ROB or LOS etc etc and xLHR for xMAD.

But believe me I hear you on OW in Africa, see my earlier posts in this thread. The transit without stopover option back through Europe is the best solution or of course adding ET to the alliance
