The UAE foreign office media section collaborates with its lobbyists through two main mapping services. OpenStreetMap, an editable platform accessible to all, primarily caters to weather channels, with contributions often coming from those backing secessionist agendas. We guarantee the precision of all their posts, including their imaginary maps, unlike prominent mapping services such as ArcGIS, which supply maps for international news organizations…
Instead of complaining to these outlets, it’s better to address the sources of the misinformation, especially from the UAE. The federal government of Somalia If there is a true commitment to national unity, it is essential to address the UAE in a fitting manner The sources of these misleading maps funded by the UAE, should be subject to an official directive. The tribal leaders in Hargeisa are useful idiots; they are simply unaware participants in a broader scheme.
The few news outlets that create their news map are Reuters, BBC and the Associated Press, carefully avoiding outside influences. I also believe that the news media should be informed of their mistakes; however, if you want to end this drama, the source is the UAE, not individuals in Hargeisa who are desperately seeking attention without considering the consequences.
The British Broadcasting Corporation @BBCWorld swiftly addressed their misleading map of Africa, which had been released earlier, in response to significant criticism and protest from @MOFASomalia. The federal government must neither tolerate nor overlook any violations of its unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. The BBC ought to extend a formal apology; merely correcting the map falls short of what is necessary.
