By my count there's only one arrival into Africa (DOH-CPT) and one departure (CPT-DOH). Any ideas?
if you want to maximize the fare, you need to understand the fare rule.
what make you suddenly want to maximize the EQM as it doesnt seem that you care for your first half of the RTW?
I think the rule is about Europe. you are doing Europe - US - Asia - Europe - Africa - Europe.
Normally, you can only enter and exit a continent once, but it is an exception that have been discussed, and the fare rule is quite clear (if I remember after the Dec 16 update) about this situation.
