VOA-Where is Egypt?

Let me start by saying I have never claimed to be good in geography. But, with that said, I do have a world map from doctor's without borders hanging on my wall(thanks mom!).
So here's the deal. I am addicted to VOA. I listen to it daily. Both in the morning, at night, and sometimes during the afternoon. Not only is it my major source of news, but it also provides many great music programs. Normally I would start talking the station up because I love it so much, but sorry folks, not today.
First--I'm not sure if what I'm saying is correct, but at least it is what I think, and since this is my blog, I'm gonna go with what I think.haha.

This morning I was listening to VOA world news as I was eating my oatmeal and drinking my hot chocolate(with my doxy). They came to the story of Pres. Obama going/coming to Ghana. At first they were discussing the reasons why the White House picked Ghana and not some other country. Then they go into how this is very important as the President's first trip to Africa.

Let me stop there. I was like WHAT? I thought he was in Egypt just a few weeks ago giving a huge speech, I even listened to it on VOA, and the end got cut off(so I remember that day well).

Continue with VOA. They go on to talk about how him going to Ghana is just as important as him going to speak in Cairo and how for that speech it was to the Muslim world, but in Ghana it will be all the Africans listening.

Now I am not going to try and argue that the Muslim world is Africa. BUT, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Egypt is in Africa. I know that maybe when the Pres. was there he was not directing his speech to "All Africans," but still, he was in Africa. This dissapointed me. VOA is my source of news. Now, if I'm right that means I was able to catch this on my own, but what if VOA is/has been wrong other times, and I never caught it?? Can you imagine how this is going to affect me??
Therefore, PLEASE, correct me if I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong, cause if I'm right, that means VOA is wrong, and surely that would crush me.

So I'm putting it out there, someone, please comment and enlighten me.
