Al Jazeera tweeted an article Thursday  about the film " How to Rob Africa," which focuses on the exploitation of natural resources by those in power for the sake of profits, with a special focus on Zimbabwe.

Unfortunately, people didn't even get to the article since they were a bit preoccupied with Al Jazeera's tweet, in which the Qatari news organization referred to Africa as a country... rather than a continent.

Al Jazeera later corrected the major error.

Despite their apology and correction, people on Twitter could not let it go.

From those flat out mocking...

To those thinking someone from CNN was behind the tweet...

Some just wanted the news organization to delete the tweet!

Because no apology could ever fix the mistake

Even if auto-correct was to blame

Some came at it with humor...

Or just facts

Many were just disappointed

But, on the plus side, it's good to know people around the world acknowledge that Africa is NOT a single country!
