I select the countries of Lat. Am. thank you

Assuming the data is stored in a data frame called bl you could do
something like this:
First you generate a list of all countries you are interested in - e.g.
set = c('Benin', 'Congo', 'Mali')
And then you subset the data frame with it
bl[bl$COUNTRY %in% set, ]
SHCODE COUNTRY NAME WBCTRY X.1. X.2.
3 3 Benin BEN -+ NA
12 12 Congo COG -+ NA
26 26Mali MLI -+ NA
