Daylight Saving Time (DST) is not used in most of Africa. However, the country of Namibia does observe Daylight Saving Time. Tunisia ended the use of daylight saving time in 2009 and Egypt ended the use of daylight saving time in 2011. Morocco and Western Sahara observed daylight saving time in 2011 but no observance is scheduled for 2012 unless passed by their respective governing authorities.
