Can Changing the World Map Change the Perception of Africa?

On September 4, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the resolution 'Correct the Map,' supported by Togo and the African Union, aimed at promoting a more accurate cartographic representation of Africa. This resolution, which received 164 votes in favor and one against, encourages the use of equal-area projections to reduce distortions. It raises questions about the impact of cartography on the perception of Africa and its implications for education, culture, and geopolitics.
