Seriously, this is not acceptable. It could have been cute if it just stopped there but the guy wants his land recognized internationally. African should be aware that this situation could open a pandora box. Integrity of African territory is not a joke. Africa is plundered enough as it is and USA is definitely not a stranger to that situation. African people should remain vigilant now more than ever. Plus, I doubt USA would accept an African declaring a part of amerrican desert his! let’s be serious!
