@davidpilling writes about the new map. This and more: “And Africa is not a small appendage to the world,” Lopes added, referring to an internet meme depicting China, India, western Europe, the US and Japan all fitting snugly into the African continent." https://t.co/apgCMJaVnr 1.5K views · 9 likes · 4 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@LopesInsights @rdussey Encouraging to see that the UN after 80 years is discovering an issue that bothered me when I was in primary school, and for which multiple simple answers have existed for centuries. The UN employs learned men, all of them. 40 views · 0 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Thank you, @rdussey, for taking our battle to the UN 🌍🗺️ It has been a long journey to show how cartography can perpetuate narratives inherited from centuries of contempt, offering false comfort built on distortion. Today, that deception is finally being challenged. ✊🏾 25.1K views · 275 likes · 92 reposts · 8 replies Open on X →
