Paragraph 2
The AU spoke to Reuters about the Mercator
. It said: "It might seem to be
a map, but in
, it is not." It said the map showed Africa as being less important. It said Africa is the world's
-largest
and has more than one
people. The non-profit organization Africa No Filter agreed. It said the Mercator map was "the world's longest
...campaign and it just simply has to stop". The
Speak Up Africa wants people to use the 2018 Equal Earth map, on which "Africa appears 14
larger than Greenland, as it
is".
