A feature consists of one or more words in the source material which refer to an entity (e.g. a Person, Organization, Location or Other entity), or a significant noun phrase (e.g. renewable energy).
Click on the feature in the map, or in a snippet, then click Exclude in the toolbar.
The feature in blue, at the end of the path, is mandatory (i.e. it must appear in the snippet text), whereas those in light blue, near the start of the path, are not.
A snippet without a country name may still be included if the system judges that it is likely to be of relevance to the selected country. For example, the country name may appear in the title of the article, in the source location, or elsewhere in the article text.
All 54 countries in Africa are included, but there is a particular focus on Southern Africa, East Africa, and West Africa.
