A new world map has been endorsed to better represent the size of Africa. This change is the result of efforts by African countries and advocacy groups. The new map is expected to replace the traditional one that has been in use for centuries.

The vote to endorse this new map was largely in favor, with most countries supporting it. Only one country voted against, while a few others chose not to take a stance.

Further information about this development is available, including details about the new map projection and the voting process.
