US government map of Africa mislabels every country at global conference

A US government map of Africa mislabeled every country during a state department presentation at a global conference in Brazil this week, causing a stir among attenders who took screenshots and posted them online.

The map showed Nigeria, where the US currently has several hundred troops deployed, as landlocked in the Sahara desert. Mozambique, which is in south-eastern Africa, was relocated to the Horn of Africa, while Côte dIvoire in west Africa was placed on the other side of the continent.

 

Let's hope the Americans know where Australia is. I wouldn't want Trump's bombs landing here.
