2 capitals (Posted on 2018-05-11)

Name a world capital. It's an older way of spelling the name.
Drop three letters, and the remaining letters, in order, will name
another world capital.
Both cities have more than a million residents.

What cities are these?

DJAKARTA (or, Jakarta) => Capital if Indonesia (in Asia)

DJAKARTA - JTA => DAKAR => Capital of Senegal (in Africa)

According to Wikipedia

--------------------------------------

Population of Jakarta (or, Djakarta) = 10,562,088 as of 2022

Population of Dakar proper = 1,030,594 as of 2021

Population of Dakar metropolitan = 3.94 million (estimated) as of 2021

Consequently, the two cities are: DJAKARTA (or, Jakarta) and DAKAR.
