UN adopts new world map showing Africa's true size; US sole dissenter
BBC Africa·TG · US·1 day ago
The UN General Assembly voted 164-1 to replace the current world map with one reflecting true continent sizes, correcting Africa's historical distortion. The US was the only dissenting vote, marking a rare diplomatic isolation on a symbolic cartographic issue. The resolution's practical impact is limited, but it signals shifting international consensus on post-colonial narratives.
