Congratulations to the delegation of #Togo ๐น๐ฌ and the Africa Group on the adoption this morning by the #UNGA of resolution A/80/L.104, โCorrect the Map.โ
First endorsed by the African Union Assembly in February and officially passed at the United Nations today, this @_AfricanUnion initiative marks a historic step toward accurate and equitable global cartographic representation.
For centuries, the Mercator projection distorted global geography, shrinking Africa to the size of Greenland when our continent is actually 14 times larger. Todayโs resolution promotes equal-area maps like Equal Earth across classrooms, media, and international institutions ensuring the world map finally reflects Africaโs true scale, weight, and place in the world.
Delighted to see the Hargeisa International Book Fair continue to inspire readers, writers, and thinkers. Wishing everyone a successful and impactful HBF 2026.
