@wlaatje @anominominominous on the maps I saw Crimea is shown as independent whereas I did not see any territories like that where South-Ossetia and Abkhazia would be.

It is interesting to see Russia vote in favor of a map depicting Crimea in a different color than itself.
“This resolution mocks the work and purpose of this institution.

@wlaatje To think that representing africa correctly is a 'radical ideological project' you have to be so far gone there's no hope for you.
