British Foreign Minister Refers to Africa as ''That Country''
PA
Boris Johnson referred to Africa as "that country" in a speech to the Conservative Party conference reflecting on his first three months as Foreign Secretary, Independent reports.
Mr Johnson made the blunder as he painted the world as a "less safe, more dangerous and more worrying" place than it was 10 years ago.
Mr Johnson appeared to suggest Africa could benefit from adopting more British values, warning countries across the continent were instead becoming more authoritarian.
And he then said: "Life expectancy in Africa has risen astonishingly as that country has entered the global economic system."
