Of course, Egypt is not situated completely in Africa. Historically, the gulf of Suez has always been considered the divide between Africa and Asia. The largest part of Egypt but not all of it is in Africa. There is no question of misconstruing my words for I have said what I wanted to say.
Let's look at where Azizi has got her map from. It has been taken from the official site of the government of Egypt:
Egypt State Information Service (Location of Egypt)
That's what Egypt says about its location on that government site:
The Arab Republic of Egypt is located in the north-eastern corner of Africa and south-western Asia... Location: Northern Africa, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, between Libya and the Gaza Strip, and the Red Sea north of Sudan, and includes the Asian Sinai Peninsula (my emphasis)
I also don't understand why it bothers you, Azizi.
