The U.S. State Department rolled out an inaccurate map of Africa during a scheduled presentation in Brazil. The map contained immediately noticeable geographic errors. French-language outlets La Presse, Le Monde, and Le Journal de Montréal all picked up the story. Washington officials could not explain how the wrong map made it onto the screen. They offered no details on the source of the image or who cleared it. The presentation was part of a regular diplomatic event. No further specifics were immediately available.
