    I was referring to the text at the bottom of the press release:

    By signing the petition you take a stand against a false narrative that downplays Africa’s vast size and diversity as the second-largest continent, reducing its perceived importance in global politics and economics. You can correct the narrative.

    It seems to single out Africa because this campaign is led by Africa No Filter and Speak Up Africa. I just thought it was amusing that the campaign text mentions Africa repeatedly but only indirectly mentions south america when referring to the global south.

      Well, if it’s a petition fielded by the African Union, you’d expect it to focus on Africa, wouldn’t you?

      Where’s the outrage on political platforms made to benefit specific other regions?
