Hi All,

I have attached two maps of Somalia and as you can see the odd ''administrative border'' that someone just decided to make an "international border" without it being reflective of the reality on the ground. Above all it is inaccurate for geographical purposes as well. We need it to be accurate for us to do humanitarian/logistics & Supply chain project. We do not want to confuse our foreign haulage company with inaccurate border crossings.

This has very deep impact on various geographical maps across the internet to the confusion of many people around the world. It is like putting the border between Scotland and England as "international border" or Bavaria State regional border and rest of Germany. This would confuse and make the map inaccurate as this is not the reality on the ground. I love the use of OSM and it's nice community and therefore I'd like you to please have a look at this. I will take this up further with data team as well.

https://ibb.co/faeUAx <Actual map, additionally check Google maps as even accurate map.

Please let me know what you can do? smile Once again thank you for effort and time.

Danke shon!
Tedros
