      Well, he explained it in a video once. I think he said the end theme song was composed by Ken...? I don't know, but it was either Ken or someone else. But then again, maybe it wasn't him. For some reason, I'm thinking of a name that starts with "K". Keith does play bass, but I don't think it was him. But anyway, Barbs said it was composed by his roommate. (or at least, i think it was his roommate... He played the ukulele and whistled a melody over it, and that became the ending theme! :D I don't remember exactly who it was, but that's one cool thing about this channel. So many channels just use royalty free stock music for their intros and outros and whatever, so it's a breath of fresh air to see the people of this channel compose songs for it and be original! ^-^

    Yep. It's hard to keep track of all the various African Empires that existed throughout time in that region. Ghana, Songhai, Jolof (or Jollof), Timbuktu, Mali itself... and I believe there was a few more in there too. Wild history for them for sure.

    mali has a lot of history with india. many indians don't know that once mansa musa( richest man in history) sent some of its messengers to explore and those people came to south india( some texts even said that mansa musa himself came here) and they found a lot of knowledgable people in the kerala and tamil nadu state and that time emperor sent some people there to learn and teach things in mali. and in return mansa mussa gave a lot of gold. thats why you will see that in the temples of south india huge amounts of gold ornaments and sculptures are kept( only one temple shri padmanabha swamy temple has gold ornaments and assets of over rupees 1.2 trillion.

    Because the Morroco episode is coming up I'd like to bring up something you missed in the Algeria episode and that is the fact that you said morrocans and Algerians don't get along which is false we're like brothers sharing the same history, language and culture it's just the government who has issues with each other. The people love each other (same goes for Tunisia).
    And I'd like you talk a bit more about the berber/amazigh population in North Africa seeing as it's often something many people don't know about and therefore just assumes everyone in North Africa is Arab which is completely not the case.

      One Lazy Boi the ones who are trying to storm the fences of Melilla and Ceuta aren't really morrocans for the most part but rather west Africans (from countries such as Mali and Niger) who usually travel through Morroco to get to Europe.
