I don't see Kingdom of Bornu nor Kongo. However I am not exactly an expert on the issue and I don't know exactly what time frame the map is set in.

Edit: am blind, Kongo is there.

Kingdom of Lesotho
Kingdom of Eswatini (Swaziland)

They are actual independent countries.

Who the hell made this map huh

It's a bloody mess!

For instance, we all know that the Empire of Ghana did not exist alongside the Songhay Empire.

The Ghana Empire had long disappeared by then. We're looking at the 15th/16th century here, remember?

kingdom of Bornu is there in the map as the Empire of Kanem which is also know in history as Kanem Bornu Empire while Kongo is also there in the map somehow close to Lunda State in the map .

The map I think, is just for geographical area to where/the area where those historical Empire was located.

Can I tell you why I have a problem with it?

It doesn't quite do justice to the territorial changes which occurred over the years as empires, States and kingdoms rose and fell.

I don't know if you get what I'm trying to say here?
