Having had to find a location to put a POP some years ago: Morocco, Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria are also OK, depending on your needs. WACS strings along the entire Western coast of Africa, so anywhere along there that you can get reliable power, you can probably get a drop from WACS to the wider Internet and run your services.

To your point, tho, I ended up putting the POP in Cape Town, because it's a mega cable landing site and in a developed country.

A downside: there are (or at least were) some annoying "data export charges" levied per-Mb by the ZA government on traffic to services hosted outside of ZA. That's the whole reason I needed to put a POP there to begin with. Our backups over the wire were a little expensive, though.
