How many times will this mistake be made? Africa is not a country but a continent. Sigh!!
This time the mistake was made by news network, Al Jazeera, on Twitter yesterday. And as you would imagine, Twitter followers would not let this mistake go even after the network apologised.
Here are some of the tweets chiding Al Jazeera
