Meanwhile, defending champions South Africa have been drawn with Ghana, Mali and Tanzania in Group C.
Group B will consist of record 11-time continental champions Nigeria, Tunisia, Algeria and Botswana.
The top two sides in each group will progress to the quarter-finals, alongside the two best third-placed finishers.
