Today, the UN General Assembly voted overwhelmingly in support of an African-led resolution to correct the Mercator-based world map, addressing a 450 years injustice that has visually shrunk Africa for centuries, shaping how the continent is perceived in media, education, and policy.

Look at a world map. Africa looks about the same size as Greenland, right?
Africa is actually 14x bigger than Greenland.
The Mercator projection — the map hanging in your classroom, stretches landmasses near the poles and shrinks everything near the equator. It was made in 1569 for sailors, not truth.

Here’s what actually fits inside Africa’s real borders:
🇺🇸 The United States
🇨🇳 China
🇮🇳 India
🇫🇷 France, Spain, Germany, and most of Western Europe
🇯🇵 Japan
…all of them. At once. With room to spare.

Speaking during the reception of the referee at BBS Mall, Eastleigh, he said Artan's journey from a humble background to becoming an internationally recognised FIFA referee shows that young Africans can aspire to achieve greatness and hailed him as a role model for future generations.

I was honoured to join a productive Eastleigh Business District Association (EBDA) meeting in Eastleigh with business and community leaders to discuss practical strategies for the neighbourhood. EBDA is the largest and the most influential Somali business group in Kenya.

I urged the Eastleigh community to heighten political engagement, participate in socio-political matters at local, regional, and national levels, register in large numbers, and be ready to vote in the 2027 General Election.

I’m deeply grateful for the ongoing support and confidence from the business owners and community elders, and for their strong endorsement of my MP candidature for Kamukunji constituency in 2027.

Special thanks to the organisers, especially EBDA Chair Haji Ahmed Yare, Deputy Chair Haji Abdi Madobe, SG Omar Mohamed, Eastleigh North MCA Ahmedqadar Dabar, former Councillor Haji Ibrahim Isack ‘Billow’, and all the community elders who contributed valuable insights to today’s gathering.

Ruto also called for an end to long payment delays, stressing that farmers who do the hard work of growing and harvesting coffee deserve fair and timely compensation.

During the coffee revival launch in Kirinyaga County, President William Ruto unveiled sweeping reforms to transform the coffee sector, including a new commitment to pay farmers within days of delivery.
