once again, Shirvan sold his anus for a buck
STIFLED (google the PROPER pronunciation)
Yes Caspian report time savol here is my contribution to the all mighty algorthm
haha, tnx for the redeem code
I'm from Sudan, particularly from the North, and I must say gold has been both a blessing and a curse.
The gold rush in the region is insane to say the least, and most of it isn't done by corporations, but by your everyday citizens from all over Sudan.
And while it has created wealth, it has also lead to a ton of conflict and feuds.
The parts which are owned by corporations is the worse. Our government doesn't care and they literally dump their toxic wastes without any consideration to the locals, which has led to serious issues and discontent.
That's how it works in most of Africa.
Quit having leaders who wear camouflage uniforms and did not complete school fo a change.
@@Crashed131963 Ya that would be great for changing the interests of outsiders. Wearing a suit and completed school (in what exactly?) would really change the markets for these commodities.
Watch more of his videos so you don't further embarrass yourself.
@@EastofVictoriaPark When the leader wears a military uniform 24/7 you know your in the 3rd world.
African leaders are easily bribed by western companies.
@@Crashed131963 The companies are usually forced to bribe the African leaders. It seems to be the custom or culture of these areas. Both parties are at fault and take from the people of the counties involved. Corruption in business is a world-wide problem but is prevalent where these deals are made.
@@bcanuck bro the west is as corrupt we literally have lobbyist writing laws only difference is that our elites have spent centuries raping the developing world so most of the world's wealth is in the West n they used it to build mega cities like Lisbon n Antwerp or New York .....we are all in the same shithole just different parts
I'm a Genetic Anthropologist who works in that eastern area of Egyptian Red Sea mountains yes seriously while driving throughout the way in this area you can seriously see golden and purple haze lines of surface minerals allover the mountains throughout your way. It's a picturesque region where Egyptian Afrotropical forests are found in Elba, Shalatin, Halayeb, Adledib and Abu Ramad provinces.
Sounds beautiful
A genetic anthropologist?
That's crazy cool I would honestly love to ask you so many questions.
Halayeb & Shalateen are Sudanese. Even Aswan is Sudanese. Do not ever forget that.
@@shady999100 Egypt is radically different from Sudan, both historically and culturally.
@@eho6380 The Pharaohs say, 'No, go,' immigrant. You have taken control of Sudan
Here in Ethiopia we grew up learning about the Story of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon, how she visited him with all the gold and gem stones. Now we are hearing that the mines which sourced those gem stones have been discovered in the south western part of Ethiopia, in the Arabian Nubian Shield. Its just amazing.
As a curiosity:
I'm Polish, and some of us were also taught about Queen of Sheba and King Salomon.
@@bartoszjankowiak3157 It is story from bible.
Im American.. we were taught Blacks were slaves.. the end.
My african friends and co-workers are like wtf???
I was a legal studies minor so i preach constitional law to them, like how the Supreme Court ruled that Blacks can never be considered an American no matter where they were born, Twice..
Alot of my African friends/co-workers were not aware of Black American history..
@@andyc3012 this explains why American education system it's bad.
Even they forget Arab/Muslim slave trade, which is a big deal.
@@demo9299 at least muslims weren't racist
and there weren't ethnic segregation for slaves and freed ones
Nubia actually means land of Gold in the Egyptian language. It was called that by the Egyptians because that’s where they got their gold from so the high gold reserves of the area was known and exploited from ancient times.
I thought it was named after the skilled archers that lived in the region.
In north Sudan I met people who found huge gold nuggets only with metal detectors (one of them was bigger than my hand). They told me few decades ago some Chinese team collected them by hand directly on the floor.
@@MultiGreenwood Nubia means land of Gold while Ta Sety another Egyptian name for the same land is the one you’re talking about.
Nubia came from the greeks
Every time I watch one of Shirvan’s videos I’m always blown away by how knowledgeable he is about the globe
every student of international relations is that knowledgeable... at least every one who studied in Poland
@@krakendragonslayer1909 Kurwa
He’s knowledgeable in certain topics yes. But in others he simply parrots CNN, BBC and other Western media propaganda. Ethiopia does not face the problem of being a pariah state, not because CNN said it. 🇪🇹 remains open to business with neutral global actors.
Shirvan is obviously illuminati - how else does he know all these insider things? He must be sitting in on all those Bilderberg meetings 😂
Agree with what others have said. Firstly, IR background focuses on this type of thing. But secondly, if you have detailed knowledge of a region, you recognize he can be way off sometimes. I take him as an expert on the Russia/Caspian/Central Asia, a bit less on E.Europe/Balkans, and I'm still undecided on his knowledge of Africa. As someone who specializes in SEA, he's way off when he talks about Southeast Asia.
When King Farouk of Egypt visited the area and knew of its gold deposits , he immediately ceased all mining efforts and declared that the reserves of the area be kept for future generations so that they know that he never let go of Egypt’s riches.
Well he was a wise king, but greedy men and currupt leaders are plentiful, so the gold may be digged by foreign companies now that Egypt has eased rules on mining or the money from the mining will go into the wrong pockets. Not many can handle and distribute national wealth and resources in a balanced way.
That’s… not really a good idea. Would be better to exploit the resources and develop your country early in order to improve education, industry and (since the 80s) services.
better to dig it up and put excess wealth into a fund that can grow over the years, would benefit posterity even more
imho,,
if was bad decision.
Should've manage it and let future generations taste the sweetness of forefathers works.
@@Rart95871 yea. The King most likely just said that as an excuse.
If they found Tin there, then the Arabian-Nubian Shield could've also been one of the major sources for Bronze back in the Bronze Age. Not sure how much data there is on it, but this seems like a more reasonable source than either Afghanistan or Cornwall.
No tin, but there is enough copper there, which is the major component of bronze. And it has been archeologically proven that in Timna valley (in Israel near Eilat) copper was mined and melted during the Bronze age.
@@sleepingtoss Says there's Tin along with Copper, Zinc, Silver, Lead, and (of course) Gold in sources from the better mapped Arabian side going back to antiquity, but I think the argument in Archeology is whether or not the Tin located in the ANS was one of the primary sources of Tin back in the Bronze Age. Afghanistan is argued to be the best bet, but I guess both the ANS and Cornwall are equally feasible sources since noone knows for sure. Idk if this rabbithole during finals was worth it, but that's what I found. Funny how much of a mystery the past is; noone knows despite so many "experts" seemingly having the answer.
@@bustavonnutz youre right he did say tin in this video but their hasnt been an extensive record of early bronze age metallurgy in this region of the world. However their is very early record of coppper metalurgy. that makes me believe that the tin present in the region today wasnt readily accesible in ancient times through ancient methods because bronze wasnt being made in this region until trade connections were better connected and handled more capacity to get external sources of tin during the middle and late bronoze age
@@tewekdenahom485 Yeah I basically came to the same conclusion too, but there's a lack of feasible sources on Tin in general; noone really knows for sure where these ancient civs like the Hittites, Egyptians, and Akkadians where getting their Tin from. Sadly, this is just one of a myriad of mysteries surrounding that era. We still haven't deciphered Linear B and the Minoan language let alone figure out where they were getting their metal shipments from. Cyprus was continuously detailed as a source of Copper due to the immense role it played in the region (after all, you need 9x more Copper than Tin to make Bronze and there's also Arsenical Bronze which doesn't require Tin whatsoever). In the end I just hope that archeologists can keep making discoveries that point us in a clearer direction concerning this enigma.
@@sleepingtoss There was short period of copper age before bronze age. If I am not mistaken, then pure copper was widely used in ancient Egypt. The bronze, as well can be prepared with various other metals than tin, for example lead. This kind don't have to contain tin. So even civilization without access to tin can enter bronze age as long as it is able to produce lead, which, for some strange reason, we were madly in love with, even thou it is toxic over long time.
The presence of mineral wealth in ethiopia definitely adds another dimension to their conflict.
Because 10.000 dimensions weren't enough already...
It explains Canada
@@zeytelaloi canadian exploration companies have been working in ethiopia at least since the 90s.
most people did not realized why suddenly the south Sudan was encouraged by the west to declare it's independence. Look where the oil stand, and who got it (north Sudanese are much more difficult to bribe than the southern Sudanese)
it doesnt really have anything to do with the the start of the war being caused by the tplf ambushing the federal military in the middle of the night and admitting to the start of the war (by pre-emptive attack), but of course the presence of valuable minerals is interesting
Bro Saudi Arabia lucked out HARD. Like god damn gold + oil. Amazing
And has one of the best location for solar and wind energies. Allhumdullah 🙏🏼
there's a region north of Saudi called the northern borders
and it has 7% of the world's phosphate
Sidenote: the reason for the staggering jump of Ethiopia's revenue from Gold exports is due to the straightening-out of the TPLF's corrupt ways of conducting gold exports. Mining gold hasn't increased dramatically, but rewiring the corrupted methods of selling it overseas is.
It sure seems like Abiy is on the straight and narrow. . . .lol
That explains much of the economic growth of the past 3 years under the reform the “economic explosion” of the 2000’s and after are only existent on paper not in reality
I was told a lot of gold comes from the Ethiopian section of Somali land. They are rebuilding the state capital Jigjiga.
@@scoobydoobers23 he might be as corrupt as tplf but the party based awarding of mining and oil is exploring licenses was inefficient. Just google about the oil company that was started by some kid in Virginia trying to start an oil company as he went .
@@oceejekwam6829 yes but the Somali state has been rebuilding for the last 6 years
In our mother tongue the ancient Egyptian Language, the word (Nub) means (Gold) from which the Greek word Nubia was derived as a name for this region at the south of Egypt.
لغتنا الام 😂😂😂 المصرية القديمة 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a Canadian, even I forget sometimes that 75% of the mining companies in the world are Canadian
wow, seriously? in terms of registered company or market share? I thought Australia and china has some big names themselves.
@@MarkWTK I'm not sure about market share, that's just companies in general. Many of them are small-scale and localized in Canada itself, but we do have some very large multinationals.
in fact, they are вritish.
We have to be vigilant. China is buying up, everything it can. Once they do, it’s gone.
On a side note; Ethiopia had gem mines that were the source of sapphires and emeralds destined for trade and royal use in Egypt. One of those deposits may have been rediscovered and is yielding large, hazy, deep blue sapphires of large sizes. The amount of opal mined in the highlands of Ethiopia is also staggering; it can be purchased in bulk for the price of some grains.
where can it be purchased ?
?
@@Q_QQ_Q Google is your friend😁
Yeah. That's was jewelry. These modern minerals are far more valuable and useful.
🤦♂️ modern Ethiopia didn’t exist before 1913 and Egyptians existed thousands of years ago.

This makes sense given the crisis in Tigray.Thanks for Great research.I have said this before and I will say it again. Your videos are refreshing coz you present the scenarios and let the viewer make up their own mind,sadly too many TH-camrs push agendas, or cherrypick points or they downright caricacture their content.
As a Geography student, I highly appreciate your content! Basically tackles exactly what my studies are about. Thanks for your videos!
geography is mainly about geology, this is geo-politics, and yet also includes geo-socio/political studies, a whole other kettle o' fish.
@@Veldtian1 Not true. I could've chosen geology if I wanted to, but didn't. We have a lot of choice in which direction we wanna go, geology, climate, but also geopolitics or humanitarian work, etc. You get some basics in all of the mentioned, but it's really up to you what you wanna choose. I chose geopolitics and humanitarian work.
I suppose that also depends on the University tho. I'm from Germany, and my University handles it this way at least, giving you the choice
Best channel for learning geography is Amit Sengupta and neo.
@@Veldtian1
Geography is the umbrella for all subfields such as geopolitics or geology
@@prnzssLuna Well, most of the carrers in the institutions that I know are managed that way, in my secondary school, for example, they are specialized in engenieering and until 10th grade (when students are around 14 to 15 years old) we do practices in the fields of mechanics, electrical engenieering and electronical engenieering, then in our last 2 years before university we choose a specialization in one of those fields
Appreciated for sharing high quality contents for free 😊
Canadian miners are so prolific, I had 0 clue we were that big into it. Turns out our tax environment is nuts for them
Canada has some of the main mining companies in the world
@@sebastiaosalgado1979 How do I get in on that money?
@@kingstarscream320 you can buy shares of some of those companies...I did it.
@@sebastiaosalgado1979 Thanks, mate!
@@sebastiaosalgado1979 75% of all mining companies in the world are headquartered in Canada due to very low taxes for mining business. However most them are mainly owned by foreigners. Canada get all the blame for their nefarious activities they get to hide where there actually from. Some company HQ consist of nothing more than Postal Box or small office.
lol Saudi Arabia is one hell of a lucky country with all of their resources.
Not that lucky I don’t understand why people just look at resources Saudi Arabia is a giant desert without a single river that means no farming and very expensive fresh water
@@seekeroftruth5389 Their natural resources are essential for the military super powers. Unless we completely adopt "renewable" energy or mine asteroids, SA will continue to have one hell of a bargaining chip.
@@guitarazn90210 yes that makes sense, but the finding of oil really amounts to just the worlds largest consolation prize for Arabia.
If Arabia was a fertile country with rivers and farmlands it could have a massive population and the non-oil private economy would be doing a lot better. It would also get a massive headstart in history, as Arabia was basically a useless desert until the early 1900s.
@@seekeroftruth5389 because they don't really needed it lol. Plus they have tone of water underground which with modern technology very accessible. Also they are making farming and fish farming with modern methods and investing into research fir those things. They are investigating into manufacturered farming too. Also Iraq has far more resources. All the middle east is the same lol.
@@free_boiling4502 are you sure? Arabia was a very useful military base for Muslims and it used for trade from Indian Ocean and Ethiopian kingdoms. This useless desert defeated Eastern Roman Empire Byzantium and Persia both at once like if they where nothing and bulided a new age of a very powerful civilization that changed the world and still shapes history. This desert still produces stuff such as dates and Yamen and Oman have green lands in the south with powerful farming especially Coffee from which first coffee in the world comes from. They have tone of fish there too.
I love it. I get to say, "I didn't know that!"
Thanks Shirvan.
Absolutely love anything GCC related 🇸🇦🇦🇪🇶🇦👍
Hey Shirvan, @caspianreport
there are 2 things that stand out for me in your videos.
1. the research and structured explanation of complex topics (insane, one could easily view a video multiple times to really grasp what is going on)
2. use of maps, good video footage
(NO CHEAP GENERALIZED STOCK FOOTAGE THAT DOESNT REALLY FIT IN
My two favorite lanes of TH-cam content are 1) resource investing and 2) past/current geopolitics. Thanks for reporting from the intersection of the two
I believe that the saudis have the best chance to capitalise on this , given their diversification efforts and stable government.
Plus they already have the fund to independently launch mining operations. They don't need foreign investments.
Stable Government. AKA a Saudi prince running around with a bone saw.

Wait, so the Ethiopian part is entirely in Tigray? The plot thickens
It thickens indeed
Now the got one more reason to separate
Tigrays are original from Yemen. So if they don’t behave and live peacefully with other Ethiopians they will be deported to Yemen.

I think visual politic made a video about that
Amazing, thanks for sharing immense flow of knowledge and geography. 👍👍
America hearing this: SOUNDS LIKE THEY NEED SOME FREEDOM!
Dear Shirvan,
great video as always. Just one error I want to draw your attention to as I have been researching this: There is no evidence that Eritrea has been supporting al-Shabaab in Somalia either financially or with arms since 2011.
The UN says otherwise.
Looking on the map with Nubian shield and it's proximity to Nile, one just must wonder why this river's navigability was severed by high Aswan dam.
Officially at least because of the need for more water and hydroelectric power after the low Aswan dam's capacity was used up. That would probably take priority over an underutilized as a trade corridor.
“Whoa, to be Prince Caspian.. and float upon the waves.”
-phish
This metal issue has been sadly lacking from all news coverage, thank you!
Excellent and insightful analysis... Keep them coming.
Disappointed by your lack of knowledge regarding Ethiopia and Eritrea. It seems like your sources are Western media which has a biased position on the conflict. You are smart enough to dig deeper
It’s estamated that the value of mining resources in Saudi Arabia are around 5 trillion dollars, only 5% are currently being actively mined and utilized.
That's five times more than Afghanistan and foreign observers were salivating over that. I wonder what they will do about this news?
can i have source regarding the value?
Shirvan, you just did a special on Ethiopia and how a war was waged to subdue the Tigray region. Yet, now mention that that region has been highlighted as a potential gold mine for lucrative development and mineral exploration. Coincidence?
Nothing is coincidence, but Ethiopia has been consistent in safeguarding it's territorial integrity.
The Canadian mining companies are funding this war. They provide money to the Ethiopian government.
@@Tes-qe1jc I am interested! Do you know which companies they are funneling this funding through?
Thank you for once again mentioning sudan and bringing attention to it as it needs it the most right now

I was just looking at a map the other day and thinking what kind of geological trauma that area must've gone through to create formations like that. You've managed to give a description of that and explain its significance, amazing.

These videos,where you show us things nobody knows about are what I’ve come for.
Caspian report is one of the best channels on TH-cam, keep up brother u doing a great service
Dear Shirvan, I’ve followed you for years now and I admire your previous works. Recently I’ve noticed you’ve somewhat joined the paid mainstream narrative peddlers. It is very sad to see such a talent go to waste. You’ve gained an audience by being neutral and employing fact based scientific analysis. Please remain in that path.
Thank you from a concerned audience.
What propaganda is he saying? I'm not seeing anything
Shirvan, I've been a subscriber for a while now. I love your videos, man. Just wanted to show my appreciation.
I do not claim to favor any sides here, but I cannot understand why Eritrea, in supporting neighboring resistance movements and defending its interests in the region, has somehow damaged its reputation. When the European powers were in the region doing the same thing, it was acceptable and perhaps even admired. It is sad that that part of the world, like many others, is mineral-rich, yet very poor. Libya was one of the few African states that was able to bring prosperity to its citizens, but America and Europe put an end to that, perhaps because they feared his success could be emulated elsewhere in Africa, and perhaps because they feared that Libya's success also meant the ability to say 'no' to globalism. And let us not forget that the boundaries of African states were drawn as much to keep them fighting each other after independence, as much as it was done to make it easier for the colonial powers to control them, while they were there. Anyway, just my opinion.
Where do you have your detailed topographic maps from?
Minerals wise and in everything else, Ethiopia is the richest in the world. But her riches has been its curse for centuries. Encircled by wolves.
More like those wolves was Ethiopia itself
For some reason when I first read that I thought you were talking about the actual Ethiopian Wolf
@@eho6380 if that's true, it would have been just a wolf; so, bad analogy my guy. + Ethiopia being the wolf wouldn't have been a curse to itself. Is America being a wolf (following with analogy u'r trying to make) a curse to itself? I don't think so.
@@newshot3191 A wolf is simply a synonym for an ''evil'', don't try to act ''clever''.
And Yes, Ethiopia being a ''wolf'' is dangerous. The Government, throughout its history, was nothing more than a classical African kind of government: Exploiting the uneducated people.

Really interesting. Thank you for shining light on this issue.
People are the greatest resource, all other resources are pointless without someone to take advantage of them, and a country can be rich in resources but corrupt and failing, it is because people are more important than natural resources.
Great video. Greetings from Egypt
Less fake than your previous video Shirvan.
Always blown away with how knowledgeable Shirvan is.
Don’t get blown away he got Horn of Africa wrong on his previous videos because he relied so much on western propaganda or maybe he was willfully misleading
Never has a geographic feature, thusly rendered, borne such a striking resemblance to that place from which all humanity emerged.
Please read Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision published in 1948. That will open your eyes. Also visit mudfossil university on youtube.com.
Maybe why it’s called the Red Sea…
Great Episode! Informed me Greatly!
I like this channel but recent videos and comments about the HoA especially Ethiopia and Eritrea seem a bit misinformed Eritrea was accused of supporting Al shabab mainly by the Tplf led government in the past and the west with little to no evidence on the contrary the Tplf itself is rumored in giving assistance to the insurgents but no one mentions it one interesting fact to mention is Al shabab has been gradually weakening since 2018 we know what happened then.
Not misinformed but purposely portrayed in that way to push a certain stereotype agenda also who knows may be TPLF have this guys on their payroll
For the record, that guy was holding Fool’s Gold(pyrite) in the early part of the video. But great commentary nonetheless!
I hope these extensive excavation and mining won't come at the expense of destroying the Afrotropical forested mountainous terrain of this region. An interesting geographic/botanical fact, the southeast of Egypt at Elba and Halayeb regions form the northernmost Afrotropical forest ecosystem on Planet Earth.
There is a big chance that the environment will be severely affected by excavation and mining.
The terrain may be spared, but not the waterways. Sadly, this is the price paid by unregulated mining.
Unfortunately, the Egyptian government doesn't have a good track record of environmental preservation when mega projects are concerned🤦🏻♂️
@@samyebeid4534 I'd rather see the Nile restored than another megacity or airport built. The Egyptian government is cocky, but Egypt IS the Nile. There's no way around that, but for some reason modern politicians think they can poison the lifeblood of the country without the entire nation suffering as a result.
don't worry the bulk of the deposits are deep in the mountains not by the seashore where the mangrove "forests" are.
I'm sorry to tell you, but the person handling the "Gold" between his thumb and fingers was enjoying "fool's Gold" [iron pyrite]. Somebody tell him.
On the map, it’s interesting to see the large areas of the Nubian shield in Ethiopia that are discontinuous and far from the main part of the shield. I would guess these areas have been separated by the tectonic plates moving (ie the same ones causing the Rift Valley formation).
This is correct, the african plate is breaking apart along the rift valley system, Madagaskar has already left.
There is a hotspot where the red sea meets the ocean which started the red sea and the rift. So new plate bounderies are created but they have not moved very far from each other, in case of the red sea, and the african plate is still holding together.
Fantastic content as always
The videos are really well written.
What an interesting place.
In ethiopia tigray has the highest mineral . In fact tigray and eritera are known for their mineral since time of d'mt empire.
Tigray is known for identity politics and the TPLF
@@xamael1989 that would be the ahiya neftegna
Tigray can’t and won’t mine it’s resources while TPLF does endless wars with all their Ethiopian brothers and Eritrean neighbors
@@HolaBruv We need to contain them or else they will rick havoc the quicker they eliminated the better
Tigria is known for hunger and eating grasshoppers and being western regional proxies and pawns and obsolutely nothing else.

Can you make a video how America was involved in the war in Ethiopia
If you understand why do you need a video about it and if you don’t understand ask us the locals we know better than any foreigner who read the western propaganda about other nations and fall for the lies and deception willingly or unwillingly.
Ethiopia has 17 million tons of nickel
As much as I recognize your efforts to bring all this info about the region, your political intake on Eritrea is completely biased and based on no facts just backed by western media sources that demonize Eritrea since it’s independence and Ethiopia these days just because we say no to imperialist USA. I want to make sure you know this very well USA policies is completely against a peaceful and prosperous HOA as we seen during the TPLF rule of Ethiopia. I strong suggest you read about the #Nomore movement that people of Horn of Africa started.
Informative as always well done Caspian report
