      Caligula yes, please stop, stay home! Afrikans will sort out Afrika. At no point in history since colonialism and the great brainwashing, have Europeans allowed that to happen. So literally everything you think that Europeans are fixing, they caused in the first place... including coups, wars, devaluation of currencies, dumbing down of people, training soldiers to kill their own country men since they are militia and not army for patriotism or protection purpose...
      Europe has always been about themselves, even your NGOs (giving aid which creates dependency), missionaries (exchanging holy books for our minerals)... just stop and please stay home, let’s see how that works out for Europe.
      FACT: France would be a 3rd world economy within a decade without the wealth it still depends on from West Afrikan nations (Jacques Chirac, Former President of France quoted).

    Concerning the shape of the Gambia, you should have talked about the fact that many European countries colonizing Africa didn't want to bother with land, because they only wanted gold. And where can we find gold in huge quantity in Africa? Close to rivers. And that's the main reason why the Gambia is shaped this way, because the British empire just wanted gold mines, and a river to carry all that stolen gold to the Atlantic Ocean! ;)

    I binged watched all videos of Geography Now after you guys where featured on a Chilean news website and now I never miss an episode, especially African countries which I feel I had a very vague, even if above average understanding (like I pretty much knew where everyone is and maybe which colony you where a part of and if I'm lucky I can identify your flag) so these videos have been very helpful in getting to actually know the countries. I'm even planning on a big African trip in the future (it's a huge continent, it needs planning) thanks to all the beautiful scenery you've shown in your videos
    *anyway, tl;dr: I love geography now videos more than anything on youtube right now* and that's saying a lot

    • @jameson44k

      Camila Stefanie Planning and doing research for a big trip in Africa is good, but don't make very detailed or tightly scheduled plans, because travel there can be really unpredictable. From my experience, East and Southern Africa are a relative breeze to travel due to having more visitors (avoid Dar es Salaam though). I like West Africa more, but in some places it is a real headache for backpackers.

    • @Clockworkcityofpain
      @Clockworkcityofpain 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      jameson44k this is tbh the first time I really do some planning when traveling. I'm more of the figure it out as you go type of traveller. I mean, my last big trip was in Europe and all I actually planned was when I was arriving and leaving and the one summer festival.
      thanks for the tips though (: I've been told before to steer clear of Dar es Salaam so I guess I will

    • @jameson44k

      Nah Georgia comes from Gurgen < old kings of georgia were mostly Gurgens which meant wolfman, so Middle easterners started calling them Gurgistan, Wolfland, which later became Gurjistan. and in the west Georgia because name Gurgen turned to George after Christianity.
