Same coordinate system, but look differently in map

LongHong

Dear All,

I am new to ArcGis family and writing to ask a basic question here.

I have added two layers of data (also see the attached picture):

- One is an Africa map which has a self-defined coordinate system (WGS 1984)

- The other one is imported from an excel which has long and lat coordinates.

Therefore, I created an feature data by creating from XY table and defined its coordinate system as WGS 1984.

In the attached picture, I have used one country, Algeria, for example.

Apparently, the point layer of Algeria does not fit the country boundaries.

It seems that the point layer should be shifted a bit left to fit its country.This situation happens for all the other countries.
