UN General Assembly Votes to Adopt New World Map Reflecting Africa's Size
The UN General Assembly has voted to adopt a new world map that accurately reflects Africa's size, passing the "Correct the Map" resolution with support from 164 nations. The resolution aims to replace the traditional Mercator projection, which inaccurately depicts Africa as being similar in size to Greenland. Critics argue that this misrepresentation has significant implications for how Africa is perceived globally.
