Pourquoi la carte de l’Afrique a été rétréciée? Quelle est la vraie taille du continent Africain?

Texte du prof Hakizimana Maurice

A l’école, on nous présente des planisphères et des globes terrestres qui ont des dimensions très très erronées.On nous présente ainsi l’Europe géante,mais l’Afrique et l’Amérique du Sud rétréciées. Oui,l’Afrique semble beaucoup plus petite qu’elle ne l’est réellement. Ici je vous affirme une chose: toute la carte du monde telle qu’on la connaît aujourdh’hui est biaisée.

Comment explique-t-on que le Groenland ( 2 175 600 km2) sur la carte du monde,est grand que l’Afrique (30 415 873 km2)? En réalité, la superficie du continent africain est quatorze fois plus grande que celle du Groenland.Il faut redessiner la carte du monde et la redéfinir. Ici je vous parle un peu sur la vraie taille du continent Africain.

Saviez-vous que la superficie de l’Afrique est plus grande que celles des Etats-Unis, de l’Europe et de la Chine combinées?

La projection de Mercator versus la projection de Peters

Il faut se rappeller de ceci: les cartes que nous avons tous etudié sont basées sur la projection Mercator (Gérard Mercator). La projection de Mercator est une projection cartographique de la Terre « cylindrique »,tangente à l’équateur du globe terrestre sur une carte plane formalisée par le géographe flamand Gerardus Mercator, en 1569.

Description de cette image, également commentée ci-après

Cette projection qui a été créée au 16e siècle grossit délibérément la dimension des pays européens afin de symboliser leur puissance de l’époque.

Au 19e siècle, un autre homme se penche sur la taille des continents et crée la projection de Peters. La projection de Peters est une projection cartographique qui, contrairement à la projection de Mercator, permet de prendre en compte la superficie plus ou moins réelle des continents.Pour celle-ci les proportions sont respectées grâce à de nouvelles technologies.

Quelle est donc la vraie taille de l’Afrique?

La vraie taille du continent Africain

Si on se base sur la projection de Peters,on réalise une carte de l’Afrique plus ou moins fidèle à sa véritable superficie, et on comprend très facilement que le continent africain est beaucoup plus vaste que les dimensions qui nous sont présentées à l’école et dans les médias.

Voici des chiffres irréfutables : l’Afrique fait 30 millions de km2 tandis que la Chine et les Etats-Unis s’étalent sur 10 millions de km2 chacune. Elles entrent donc entièrement dans l’Afrique et il reste encore 10 millions de km2 pour placer l’Inde (3 millions km2) et les minuscules pays d’Europe.

Si on regarde de plus près ces deux projections (à savoir la projection de Peters en marron et celle de Mercator en vert) on constate l’importante réduction de l’Afrique et de l’Amérique du Sud sur la carte que nous connaissons.

Les suprémacistes Européens,Chinois,Russes et Américains ont réduit la taille du continent Africain pour laver les cerveaux des apprenants et les inculquer l’idéologie selon laquelle l’Afrique est rien,faible,un continent qui doit se soumettre aux continents et pays gigantesques et plus forts.

Nous sommes la génération qui doit rétablir la vérité grâce aux différentes plateformes,et aux réseaux sociaux. Il est grand temps que les curriculums scolaires Africains redessinent l’image vraie du continent au lieu d’assimiler des programmes scolaires qu’imposent ces petits continents et pays supremacistes aux Africains.

Pourquoi est-ce important de redessiner l’Afrique?

C’est important car un enfant africain, qui grandit en voyant ces cartes fausses, sans que les nuances ne lui soient expliquées, peut se dire que de toute façon le continent est si petit que ce n’est pas étonnant qu’il ne soit pas une priorité.
