I understand. And I was just saying that the UN are useless. (I don't
like them) ;-)

Guinea has a province called Mali, which is also the name of a
neighbouring country:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=mali,guinea&sll=11.523088,-2.680664&sspn=31.477151,44.824219&ie=UTF8&ll=11.695273,-3.120117&spn=31.458685,44.824219&z=5

It is true that such cases are few, but the UN are not applying that
same criteria to all, are they?
