Africa at the World Cup (Clip 8): The Lowest Low & The Highest High (2014-2022)
About a year ago, I made a 2hr+ behemoth of a video tracing Africa's participation (or attempts thereof) at the FIFA World Cup, from its inception in 1930 to the most recent edition in 2022.
I've broken it into shorter segments, dedicated to the different eras, and for your easier watching.
In this grand conclusion to our series, we focus on the three most recent World Cups) Brazil 2014, Russia 2018, and Qatar 2022; the first one which saw the first time ever that two African teams made it to the knockout stages, the second one which saw no African teams in the knockouts for the first time since 1986, and the most recent one, which saw a return to two African teams in the second round, and the first ever African team to make the Semis!
You can watch the entire 2hr video here: th-cam.com/video/wAvMcXP5jQI/w-d-xo.html
UPDATE: AS OF THE TIME OF THE POSTING OF THIS CLIP, IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED THAT MOROCCO WILL CO-HOST THE 2030 WORLD CUP WITH PORTUGAL AND SPAIN!

With Africa's place at the World Cup now guaranteed (at least one place, soon to be two), the African teams got more competitive. In 1982, Algeria was only eliminated after a Germany/Austrian pact known as the "Disgrace of Dijon", while in 1986, Morocco became the first African team to make it to the round of 16.

Thank you for pointing this out- don't know what happened there... I'll try see if I can fix it :(

Indeed.

Fascinating stuff. I wonder if we'll ever see anything like a unified boycott as we did in the 60s against Apartheid; or if the dream of Pan-African solidarity is wholly and truly dead now!
This is total rubbish where did this idiot get this imformation from.
Excellent work, Dr. Mavima
Good work, Shingi!
Thank you mudhara!
yo bro is it true that the jews from Abraham where black, and after Rome empire the jews where leaving there and after that islam came in Israel/jerzualem ?
This is a fascinating question, thank you! So a) as to the Jewish people back then being Black (like me), I have not come across that per se. What I have come across is the idea that, when Ham (the son of Noah) was cursed, some have suggested that, as a mark of that curse, he was turned Black (the Hamitic Hypothesis)- something that would go on to become the cornerstone of pseudoscientific racism in the slaverly/colonial era. (There are also fascinating stories about different Black African communities, in particular the Lemba of Southern Africa, and the Igbo of Nigeria/West Africa) having distinctly similar customs to the Jews, and suggestions there is a link there (I'd have to dig into that scholarship much deeper to speak on it; or maybe I'll bring someone in who knows more about that.) Otherwise, as it stands, given migration patterns and the passage of time, I haven't seen much to suggest that the people of pre-diaspora Judea/Israel were phenotypically different from the people of the middle east today in a significant way. 2) Jews in Rome? Indeed; after the dispersal (the creation of the Jewish Diaspora) towards the end of the BC era, many of them ended up across Europe and North Africa. Not to such a degree that they had empires, but they had distinct communities, and were in community with the other people who lived there. (SN; you also see the roots of antisemitism in many of these spaces back then too, with the Jewish people being maligned by recent Christian communities in Europe for being 'Christ-killers', among other things.) 3)And yes, in the 7th Century CE, Islam does spread from modern day Saudi Arabia across the peninsula, through to Israel (Palestine, around 636CE) and into North Africa all the way til they made it to Spain/Portugal (the Iberian Peninsula) by 711, becoming dominant there for the next 7 centuries.
Plantation slavery did in fact take place in Africa during the Trans-Saharan Slave trade. I love how you diminished the actions of the Northern African slave owners. Slavery has historically been widespread in Africa. Systems of servitude and slavery were common in parts of Africa in ancient times, as they were in much of the rest of the ancient world. When the trans-Saharan slave trade, Red Sea slave trade, Indian Ocean slave trade and Atlantic slave trade (which started in the 16th century) began, many of the pre-existing local African slave systems began supplying captives for slave markets outside Africa. Slavery in contemporary Africa is still practiced despite it being illegal. In the relevant literature African slavery is categorized into indigenous slavery and export slavery, depending on whether or not slaves were traded beyond the continent. Slavery in historical Africa was practiced in many different forms: Debt slavery, enslavement of war captives, military slavery, slavery for prostitution, and enslavement of criminals were all practiced in various parts of Africa. Slavery for domestic and court purposes was widespread throughout Africa. Plantation slavery also occurred, primarily on the eastern coast of Africa and in parts of West Africa. The importance of domestic plantation slavery increased during the 19th century, due to the abolition of the Atlantic slave trade. Many African states dependent on the international slave trade reoriented their economies towards legitimate commerce worked by slave labor. Source is Wikipedia. In fact, once the Europeans introduced guns to the West African nations and promised them money, they had no qualms hunting down other Sub-Saharan African tribes in exchange for riches. Look up Queen Nzinga, she was a huge asset for the Dutch that bought slaves from her. By the late 1630s, Nzinga had expanded her influence to the north and south of Matamba. Using her forces, she cut other rulers off from the Portuguese-controlled coast, capturing parts of the Kwango River and bringing the region's key slave supplying lands under her control. She also expanded her territory to the north, and in doing so established diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of the Kongo and Dutch merchants, who were increasingly active in the area. Nzinga also established a lucrative slave trade with the Dutch, who purchased as many as 13,000 slaves per year from Nzinga's kingdom.[4][45] She continued to occasionally send peace overtures to the Portuguese, even suggesting a military alliance with them, but only if they supported her return to Ndongo. She also refused to be re-admitted to the Christian faith, which became a point of contention between the two parties
I just pointed out that African literature is really underrepresented at awards, prices..... What for example the New York Times etc promoted is highly exclusive towards other races, ethnicities and regions of the world. All this awards are mostly excluse: white male, christian jews clubs. Barely practicing diversity.
Indeed that may well be so; but I think constantly waiting upon The New York Times (and other institutions of such stature- in an enduring capitalist world system) to do all the right by marginalized peoples has hardly turned that tide. I think the solution lies in creating alternative spaces where these works are recognized and celebrated.
Thank you for your time and effort. This lecture was very insightful!

Great job Shingi!!!
Well spoken
Very interesting how you framed the history of Rhodesia from the 1950s to 1980 on the structure of its flags. Well done! I've one question: You mentioned at one point, I believe, that the Union Flag continued to be flown in conjunction with the Rhodesia light-blue ensign until 1968, with the introduction of the green-and-white flag. I just wanted to confirm that that was indeed the case. A parallel is the Union Flag flying together with the 1928 flag of the Union of South Africa until about 1954.
Thank you so much for this context/the SA parallel!
Very insightful!
Thank you for this!
This is so good, thank you for your efforts. Especially thank you for explaining what is meant by the Moors or Moorish, it is a term you see a lot in older novels like The Count of Monte Cristo and even Sherlock stories (I believe), but was very unclear to me <3
Alutta Continua, Thomas Oden a respected scholar in theolody reitarated to the fact that the African stories must be told by us and now, so that people should know about the good rich story that emanated from the African soil
Forget what the White Wrote, there is Nothing like the Ghana Empire, it's actually the Benin Empire
The empire of Benin also existed (located in modern day Nigeria), yes? Laden with some incredible history too. Ancient Ghana, although bearing the name of modern Ghana was located further north/west: that Mauritania/Mali area. Is the argument here that the two are the same thing? Because geographically and chronologically, they don't even seem to overlap. Also, while I use a wide array of sources, I count among them Walter Rodney, Adu Boahen, Kwame Nkrumah, and Toyin Falola- all Black (and mostly West African) scholars who speak of Ancient Ghana and a separate Benin Empire. If you do have any sources that dispute the existence of Ancient Ghana, and that it was actually the Benin empire, please do share here. Always glad to learn.
Thanks so much for your hard work and all the important information you're imparting!
I appreciate the love! Glad you enjoyed!
I would like to ask if possible you can put us through the general survey of the region of East and Central Africa and its people by 1800 And also the history of East and Central Africa since since colonization
Thank you Nicholas, and Happy New Year! I have a couple videos focusing on the East and Central African Regions (One titled "Central, East, & Southern Africa up to the 18th Century" and another East Coast of Africa (1000-1600AD.) But I'll continue working on these; and drop some post-colonial videos as well this year!
Thank you for this video! I'm currently learning about the OAU and I found this very helpful.
My pleasure, Emma!
This is very good and informative
Thank you so much for this excellent video. I had been looking for accessible resources to orient me to this history, in part because I'm interested in how it may (or may not) be relevant to decolonization in the so-called United States, and this video was just what I had hoped to find. Much respect to you
Good video sir. I think it’s absolutely important to state - enslavement generally did not occur in the Americas - or more specifically in the British 13 colonies (ie now know as the USA) in 1619. Anglo (ie British) enslavement apparently started then on the mainland in the USA. Scholars such as Dr Henry Louis Gates have categorically shown that Spain (who entered the Americas roughly 100 years prior to Britain) had already brought enslaved African people to that region (South Carolina) in 1526. Again, this was way before the British (Anglo-Saxons). The Caribbean is absolutely a part of the Americas - just like the UK & Ireland (although Islands) are very much a part of Europe. The one thing I think videos on enslavement tend to lack is - the reason for the enslavement of the Africans. It would appear that it was due to the plotting and actions of primarily the British (Queen Elizabeth) and The Moroccan Governments. I believe the British used white Spanish mercenaries/soldiers to defeat and conquered the Songhai (I think it was - or possibly Mali) Empire. Reason being, to remove their probable opposition to the enslaving of Africans, as their empire geographically ruled/controlled roughly 1/3 of West Africa. They also wanted to steal steal their huge reserves of gold as well as other resources.
