Why doesn't the fill work in my Adobe Illustrator CC file?

As you can see; in the attached image, the (Lower part of Africa) is highlighted. Also, on the left side Fill and stroke are both black. So…why doesn’t the fill work? What prerequisite am I missing for the fill to fill in.?  I am running Windows 10 on my PC. Thank you for any help.

Is there a reason that you provided a MS Word document rather than an EPS?  An EPS would be much more helpful in finding the root cause of your issue.

I checked further and and attempted an eps file; no luck. EPS is not on the larger list either. It would be nice.

If you follow the instruction in my previous comment, it certainly does apply a fill to his outline.
