West Darfur/Masalit tagging

Hi all,

Not my region of expertise, so asking the wider community.

I noticed that a new country had appeared on the map. The admin_level has been changed in relation 3774664 to =2.

This seems to be incorrect and has been queried in the changeset.

The name of the region (in several languages) was also recently changed by the same mapper. I’ve personally never heard of Masalit State and a quick search doesnt reveal much either (except about the ethnic group of people who live there). West Darfur appears to be the (English) name for this state. Should this also be reverted?
