You’re right, it’s a strange way to refer to a country, I only wrote it that way to emphasize the fact that an African country already has more HSR than the US. The truth is that many outsiders still carry a default impression of Africa as just desert and savannahs and TV ads asking for donations to famine-striken villages, rather than a diverse continent with some impressive cities and growing modern infrastructure already. Western mainstream media doesn’t really expose us to Africa often beyond war and conflict news, and wildlife documentaries.
I’ve re-read this comment three times and can’t get over “Morocco, Africa”. I’ve never seen a country referred to like this in my life.
