The U.S. State Department displayed an inaccurate map of Africa during a scheduled presentation in Brazil. The map contained glaringly obvious geographic errors. French-language outlets La Presse, Le Monde, and Le Journal de Montréal all picked up the story. Washington officials admitted they were stumped by how the wrong map made it onto the screen. They did not spell out the source of the image or who gave final approval. The presentation was part of a standard diplomatic gathering. No further specifics were immediately available.
