A second Republican presidential candidate has revealed geography is not their strong suit.
Speaking about foreign aid at the CNN leaders debate, Rick Santorum referred to Africa as a "country on the brink".
Africa is a continent, made up of some 56 countries.
Santorum is not the first Republican candidate to mix up their African geography.
In an earlier debate, Michele Bachmann found herself confused by Libya's location.
"Now with the president, he put us in Libya," said Bachmann. "He is now putting us in Africa."
Libya is located in North Africa.
