    I am from Morocco, I am so proud to be African. I have tears in my eyes thinking about the African people, my people who are just the best. I lived too long in America and I feel it’s time to come back to mama Africa. The Ivorians are one of the nicest people in Africa, I love you Ivory Coast and thank you so much for hosting this tournament and hosting all your African brothers and sisters in your very beautiful country. Best luck to you, much love

      @@amine4412 I don’t think you know much about Africa. We have different culture, different food, different languages, different clothes, different skin color, and more. Also, Morocco has been a center of the slave route of Black Africans. Respectfully with love too, but we are not brothers.

      @@zzzzzzzzzz9370 first of all, most Moroccans are not white, second, you focus so much on skin color and customs but even within your own country , there are different tribes with different customs, different religion . If you go to any family brothers have different looks and different personalities, but that doesn’t make them not brothers . God created us all different but he gave us on father and one mother. It is mentality like you that differentiate and separates between brothers and it is sad to see. Maybe we have different colour tone but I can guarantee you that we both have the same organs inside, a heart left, and we both have to eat and drink to survive. You don’t know the positive History Morocco and Ivory Coast shares and if you are someone that is racist , I know many Ivorians who are genuinely feeling we are brothers and that is the normal between majority of Ivorians and majority of Moroccans. Good luck

    The seafood boil is basically Gumbo like they cook in Louisiana.
    It is always humbling to see how many of the ingredients or techniques followed the ancestors through the Middle Passage to the Americas.
    Thank you Mama Africa. We didn't forget!

    • @kazaam25
      @kazaam25 ปีที่แล้ว +35

      While they seem similar with the main ingredients, the starting point is very different as Louisiana gumbo starts with a roux, where as is Ivory Coast, we don't use a roux at all. I love making some Louisiana gumbo, though. Oh, we also don't use sausage in the cote d'ivoire gombo, and Louisiana do not use dried okra in theirs. Potash is also used in cote d'ivoire to ensure the sliminess of the okra is accentuated, whereas Louisiana uses gumbo file.

      Ikr! Same for me in gh but then we share a border and some ethnic groups so not super shocking. What they call klaaklo we call kaakro/akraakro. The fried cassava balls w coconut they call bulbul is agbɛlɛ kaklo or ayigbé tennis balls. Have seen the fried dough but never had it. The milk w corn reminds me of brukina. Tons of similarities and yet they've got a ton of unique twists.
