So they finished by telling you that it's about your mind, rather than about the few ones owning the resources of the world and exploiting the poor and desperate around the world. And you happily ingest it.
EXACTLY! WELL CONCLUDED Dr OMBONGI! COLONIALISMS are just EXCUSES for SEMITIC-HAMETIC war-games for CONTROL of BANTU RESOURCES on the continet of ITURI-surnamed "Africa". Africa means the MINGLED MIXED Races of the SEMITIC-HAMETIC people on the CONTINENT. The continent is properly ITURI of the BANTU peoples who are NOT NOAHIDES and are the OTHER sons and daughters of Adam and Eve who NEVER intermingled with the NOAHIDES(CAIN-SETH intermingling at Gen 6 producing HAM-SHEM & JAPHETH) but the NOAHIDES have ben FIGHTING to GENETICALLY CONTROL the BANTU and their RESOURCES from time immemorial and only managed to do so whenthey MADE GUNS while BANTUS were too sure of their own ability to defeat them! So while the ENEMIES of LUMUMBA-are the USA-BELGIUM-SEMITICS, the ENEMIES of SESESEKO are the HAMETIC FRENCH. SO WHENEVER BANTU ITURI aligns with EITHER the SEMTICS or HAMETICS, they are inevitably FIGHTING their wars rather than SECURING their own INDEPENDENCE! Africa is seen by the SEMITIC-HAMETIC(CAIN-SETH) RACES as a SCRAM ground for their IMPERIALISTIC wars for control! ITURI needs to SHED these SEMITIC-HAMETIC SHACKLES with their JAPHETHITE "Hegelian Ideal Brown-Yello-WHite-'ideal' and RECLAIM their LOAM SOIL-MAHOGANY-APAHR(dust of the ground)-ROOTS! The NOAHIDES need to LEAVE ITURI ALONE! It is NOT their "original homeland"! BANTU like the NOAHIDE CAIN, and SETH are just A SON OF ADAM and NOT the original "father" of the NOAHIDES! NOAHIDES are children of CAIn and SETH, as BANTU are descendants of BANTU their forefather! and NOT NOAHIDE(HAM+SHEM=JAPHETHS!)...when BANTU realises they DONT NEED these NOAHIDE "alliances" under the GUISE of PAN-AFRICANISM whichis A NOAHIDE HEGELIAN IDEALISM, then they willbegin to BE FREE INDEED pf these SHACKLES playing mind-games while being ON THE SAME NOAHIDE SIDE ALL ALONG!!
I’m calling my fellow African to wake up , to free our mind , to stand up firm , to work together in order to promote peace and take our continent forward
@shana brown how uninformed & unaware you are! It's perfectly fine to have a lack of knowledge, but it's sad that you show the world how swallow you are!
You just gotta love how no matter how good or eloquent your English is....you get subtitles and no matter how thick and heavy the presenter's British accent is, they don't get translated. (so it's not about how good you learnt their language, they have to remind you that its THEIR language.) And they do this everywhere...even in a documentary about colonialism. Colonialism still lives...its in the big acts and the little ones as well.
Im from Ghana. I remembered our presidente kwame. Nkruma who fought for our independece was trryin to unite africa n Union but unfortunaly some leaders of Africa politicians refus him some years back 😢
Zeinab, I'd like to thank you for this tremendous effort of bringing such important history, lessons, and inspiration to the many. From the first episode to this last one, it has been an amazing opportunity to learn even more about the African continent and its brilliant and diverse history. Many of the episodes I have enjoyed; the ones on the Nile, the different empires and kingdoms, religion, peoples, cultural artefacts, and so on. Yet of all the episodes, I myself as a European have felt deeply embarrassed and truly sad by the atrocities committed by the people from my own continent and even own country. It's a subject that has been on my mind for many years and while it is difficult to know exactly what to say when not being able to truly understand, for myself and for my fellow Europeans I believe that one of the best things we can do is to listen, learn, and be humble. Having said that, I'd like to recommend a book that will follow up on where this episode ends called "Africa's Long Road Since Independence: The Many Histories of a Continent". To Zeinab and the entire team behind the series; a genuine and heartfelt thank you.
Africa is still not free from the colonial jaw's grip. Africa and Africans are still exploited, dictated behind the neocolonialism. Instead of compensating Africa for ripping and exploiting for so many years of colonization, African countries are burdened by endless immense of debts for old narrow roads and old buildings the colonizers built ( with locals free manpower) to serve themselves and to exploit African countries resources and wealth including the masses of unpaid manpower for more than two centuries ( do not forget the monstrous Belgian and Portuguese colonizers since the 16th centuries in Eastern Africa.) Africa is suffocating by debts, high interests, man-made frictions, man-made conflict, forced coup, civil-wars, assassinations of African Good Leaders, unfair Trade, forced imports, forced inflation, forced devaluation of African currencies, malicious devaluations of African goods and services and so on and so forth. Enough is Enough. No More to exploitations by the West or by the East. It is time to call for Africa's wealth for Africans.
Please Ethiopians.... Remember you are the only country in Africa that was not colonised.... Please be united and let love prevail. Much love from Kenya 🇰🇪. 💕
Africa is a blessed land, very fruitful. I love Africa. Time for our unification and cultivate our land for bumper harvest. Learnt so much. Labone Senior High School, Accra - Ghana.
As an African American woman whose ancestors survived much oppression and trauma here in the US, I am so impressed by those who fought against colonialist oppression in Africa in spite of the cost to their families! May the rest in peace! The inhumanity, oppression, and abuse has always been so hard for me to comprehend! It is my hope to return to visit with my homeland so soon! Thank you for this history and insight, Zeinab and those who put these together! We were so well informed by them!
Supporting dictatorship and impose sanctions against the people is not any different from colonialism.. thank you Zainab for All the effort 💞 and the mixed feeling I get 💞 you're One of my role models, Love from your home country Sudan 🇸🇩💞💞
Growing up in the Caribbean and North America I learned next to nothing about African history and cultures. I was basically thought not to like Africa because it had no value, but thanks to programs like this I have found a new love and appreciation for Africa. I am eager to visit the land of my ancestor and the birth place of humanity. Long live Africa and Africans!
I grew up in the Caribbean as well and during that time all I learned about history was the 'Transatlantic Slave Trade'. Only as an adult that I have been learning about African History and the 1st book I read was by Dr. Walter Rodney entitled 'How Europe Underdevelped Africa'. Once I read that it was a light going off in my head like the 'Matrix'. What can I say, we have to learn so much about our history so as to reconnect and know where we are in this world. My focus now is to learn more about African History. My 1st step will be in Egypt then I work my way from there.
Hi Zeinab Badawi, I love you U are the most inspiring African person I know. My name is, Michael WeldGabriel Abraha Abraha. Hagos from Ethiopia , Tigray We shall unite in homeland Israel. Love and respect joy.
Thanks Zainab for these very critical African liberation documentaries.We appreciate you very much.We hope and pray that Africa will one day be fully economically and politically independent.
What a marvel to watch you touched literally all 54 countries histories including my two countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe this series was an uplifting endeavor to the African history that remains unshared yet today shared 🙏🙏🙏 thank you Zeinab much love from Zambia 🇿🇲
Thank you Zeinab, Unesco and BBC for this opportunity to learn more about África and African people than I've learned my hole life. For Brazilians it's fundamental to understand one of our great heritages. It would be of most importance to have this serie legends, and even translation, in Portuguese so that common people in Brazil would be able to understand it. I wish I could show it to my students.
Hello I am Yvonne Dunbar Hogan from East Orange NJ. I so welcome your sharing these of these historic events. I have a better understanding of what suffering Africans went through. I have been learning much during this pandemic. Thank you so much. Africans please continue to unite and help one-another!
I'm dearly proud of this channel and those who work hard to make it as excellent and exciting as it is.. May God continue to bless us all. Peace to us all

Africa would be freed again during the Covid-19 because we have been enlightened to know a lot of history at this time, through your documentary. Thanks.
Thank you Zainab and the whole team behind it. Zainab, your floral blouse and black pants with the hat are now historical items and should be deposited at the nearest African museum. You donned just that set for a whole 20 episodes of the documentary. I just learnt a lesson in packing light😊
finally ended the last episode, I thank you my sister Zeinab Badawi for the interesting work. I don't know what to say but may all African find this importance history of their own and use it to enlighten their children's. I feel much alive hearing a history of Africa directly from the prospective of our own.i have learned a lot.
Sayid Mohamed Abdullah Hassan of Somalia was a resistance leader of the Dervish State who fought a 20 year war against the British Empire and Italian Empire, the longest anti colonial resistance war in african history
@@nkululekomabentsela6103 you were eventually defeated easily by British land forces and boers while the Somali Dervish Movement armies of Sayyid Mohamed Abdulla Hassan defeated not just the British empire but also the Italian empire simultaneously for 21 years and we only lost because finally the British deployed aeroplanes to bomb our castles and this was the first time in African history aeroplanes were used by Europeans in military affairs...also we actually even killed high ranking British and Italian generals commanders and governors like Richard Corfield...you guys didn't
@@nkululekomabentsela6103 also those were not ongoing wars they were xhosa khoikhoi guerilla wars that were each crushed then they did nothing for years then started another guerilla war only to be crushed again all together there were 7 such wars that stopped and started... this is not the longest continuous anticolonial war, this title according to all historians goes to the Somali Dervish Movement armies
@@nkululekomabentsela6103 Are u serious? South Africa is still under British and dutch role. Its actually the only country in Africa that's still colonised
Dear Mrs. Zeinab.... you have made a respectable landmark to the History of Africa documenting a great civilization being the cradle of humanity. The history will always remember your documentary being as great as the African civilization.
This is a whole book 📖.. in pictures and depth ...African , African Americans and diaspora Africans appreciate this content and the youth of today appreciate this series , I believe much will agree... Thank you 🙏 God Bless the idea of putting this content together..
Thank you Zienab Badawi..reading this about you "Her great-grandfather, Sheikh Babiker Badri, fought against Kitchener's British forces at the Battle of Omdurman in 1898 and pioneered women's education in Sudan" (source: wikipedia) tells me why this is so important to you.. I have learned a lot from your series about us Africans..BRAVO..
Thank you so much Zeinab. You are a true Africa's daughter. We really enjoy and appreciate you recording and sharing your findings from all over Africa ( ALKEBULAN).
One of the best episodes of this golden series...we really admire your efforts as we African modern generation have being learning our history told by our own African historians.. Thanks sister Zainab Badawi..
Thank you much. I have learned a lot. As an African descendant living in The Bahamas, I do not not anything about my African heritage accept that my ancestors came here as "free slaves". I really appreciate it this documentary 🙏🏽
Have always called Africa is the WORLD out of Ignorance but after lessons have learnt n all episodes now walk proudly and shout AFRICA IS THE WORLD Big up Badawi, BBC n UNESCO
Finally finished the 20th episode. This has seen a very interesting, intriguing, and educating series. Kudos to the entire production team for this well-put-together series. Special thanks to Zeinab Badawi for her charismatic storytelling, which added to the richness of the series. I hope this series serves as the key to some of our untold history. Long live Africa.
Thank you ma’am. For this This kind thing will boost knowledge about. African struggle for Independent . As a student of Politics I very glad to seeing it. Live long Africa Live long revolutionary Live long revolution From India
How do we get these lessons into the African school Curriculums? This whole series is incredibly important for every young mind in Africa. Powerful work Mrs. Zainab Badawi. Truly powerful work you're doing.
@Memeo Alcea Marcus Garvey was wrong. RazorBladeKandy was white. Chinweizu synthesized both their ideas but it was Rollo Tomassi who perfected them. His text The Rational Male currently has far more appeal than the myriad of black nationalist literature already in circulation. It so happens that he published it the same year Tommy Curry challenged the fantasy of male privilege, referring to being a black male as a death sentence . His The Man Not however was not the first text to address the shortcomings of fem-centric pan-africanism. Nor was his recent 'Decolonising the Intersection' despite highlighting his attempts to emphasise the role of misandry in black female thinking. Chinweizu (Anamtomy of female power) and Shahrazad Ali (The Black Mans Guide) also made similar efforts but it was George Subira (1992) who hit the mark . Unlike Chinweizu, Subira did not draw upon Esther Vilar's 1976 classic, The Manipulated Man. Unlike most disciplined minds, Subira was an original thinker and one of the first to advocate a programme of economic leadership. Most modern black rhetoricians can offer no such programme or agenda because they are largely victims of black female programming. Their minds were long domesticated meaning they are reduced to reproducing aimless echo chambers almost every time they talk. Neely Fuller (1957) was not hostage to such conditioning but his programme seems to have a key fault. Despite realising the incredible driving motivating force of sexual expression , he still managed to downplay it's role, especially how it compares to the larger logic of antiblackness and global white terror domination. Although Charles Mills (1997) did indirectly develop his ideas, he neglected to integrate the foundation his own work borrowed from, "The Sexual Contract." (1996) Neil Postman, like Jeff Schmidtt, was one of the few people capable of making sense of these divergent ideas (much like John Gatto and Jan Matthews were two of those rare individuals with the pieces of the puzzle.) Conventional panafrikanism doesn't even realise there is a jigsaw to be solved. It has a distorted conception of itself because it views the world through a damaged lens incapable of accountability and self-reflection. PanAfrikanism will not produce any quick results either because unlike Chinweizu, Subira and Curry, it still refuses the interrogate and recognise the role of women in sabotaging the afrikan agenda. Texts like Addicted to White work towards this, only, in this age of intersectional confusion and fragmented voices in the wind, it isn't necessary to silence this perspective; it is enough just to drown it out. Jacques Ellul and Guy Debord surely foresaw this tragic arrangement, when few others could. Men have been fooled, black and white. It is no longer a question of race-first but male first, if not black-male first at the very least. Men are going to have to muster the clarity and courage to challenge the corporate-feminine regime dominating their "emptied" lives. If anything is to be redeemed black thinkers will need to prioritise the black pill and realise that the fundamental question of what it means to be a woman is as urgent as the need to ask what it means to be white. Gwiz +447939642873 Omalone11@gmail.com Addendum: 1. Attention to a woman is like a blowjob to a man 2. When a man's contempt for women surpasses his lust for them, only then shall he become wise 3. Women think all men are the same - that is their strength. Men think all women are different - that is their weakness 4. A man's facade of strength is his biggest weakness; a woman's facade of weakness is her biggest strength 5. Men fake interest, women fake orgasms A. Women are not to be loved; they are to be handled B. Women are not complicated; they are complicating C. A man must value his time the same way women put premiums on their body D. Men struggle for physical dominance but women opt for social domination E. Men compete; women conspire
Before that we need to take UN out of the continent and then we manage to create a United state of Africa surely ours kids will know there history in an elaborate school system
What about getting them into our own various school’s curriculae? Regrettably, far too many of us of western societies are'nt any better off as much as we’d like to believe otherwise.
Thank you for the liberation mind and heart and for the clarity of thought and vision of a better Africa. We duff our "hats and hearts" to Zeinab Badawi and the entire team who have contributed to this masterpiece.
I've enjoyed watching the entire series. We can all agree, colonism was largely growth for the Europeans and limited sustainable development for our continent and beautiful people.
What sustainable development? What you had was a host and a parasite. Africa was a host. I'm sure you can figure out who the parasite was. Should the cow be grateful to the tick for sucking his blood?
@@listenup2882 "We can all agree, Colonialism was largely growth FOR the Europeans AND LIMITED sustainable development for OUR continent..." Bro, just delete your comment. Your reading comprehension is a little off.
Thank you for producing such an amazing History of African from an African perspective. Finally a series from the African point of view, something which has been missing for a very long time. You have given me the drive to learn more about my HISTORY more than ever before. Well done xxxx
Thanks for the series Zeinab,there are some channels on this platform also trying to educate people on African history but since their small and individual they can be limited in the sense that they don't have the budget to travel to these places themselves and speak with the local people and experts as you've done, Its nice to really hear these things from the horses mouth. to see the BBC produce a series like this has been great and you've been a wonderful host. Take care and thank you.
@Zeinab Badawi, this Series has been outstanding and warrants a systematic broadcasting to every school across the continent. When are you doing the children's version? It would be excellent to use for generations of Africans to learn more about their continent! Thanks again for this outstanding work.
Excellent, I hope we can continue to have such great stories about Africa with Africans talking openly about their stories and about how they see the future of this Wonderful Continent.
Great effort, Zeinab, for such a fantastic job. You’ve made the GHA accessible to a greater proportion of the African population and all those interested in African history. Well done!

Dear Zeinab. I asked you to introduce these very important documents to be teach in all African school's. Many African education system's aren't aware of great work of yours
Colonialism and subjugation of the African people in their home were among humanity's greatest injustices based on unwarranted colonial mentality. This documentary reminds us of the history of humiliation, shame, and the Africans' conquest. As African, we have the confidence that as long as our forefathers could strategize the midpoints of emancipation from colonial oppressors, the hopes of strengthening our economies and taking care of our continent are possible now and in the days to come. Many thanks, to Zeinab Badawi, for her incredible work! Thank you!
we were strong and always remain strong and united will over come our challenges . thanks zeinab for educating us on our history and how our forefathers were strong , resilience and steadfast to give us future which we are robbed from by our current self -centered and egocentric leaders , but the future is bright inchaAllah . we are africans and africa is our business . viva pan-africanism !!!!!!!
Every patriot is limited by the ignorance of his people or of the cowards that colonialism uses. In Somalia, we know the tools colonialism used to quell the Somali thirst for freedom. Today, the descendants of those who collaborated with the British and Italians are those who abuse the Somali Nation. Like fathers, like sons ...
I could not have possibly learned as much from this series as Ms. Badawi has simply because she was there and I have not been. I did however, describe my viewing experience to a family member as having been on a journey. At the age of 66, I firmly believe that if we are so inclined, we as humans may choose to never stop learning. I have learned a lot from this BBC History of Africa. Thank you to everyone involved.
Thank you Zeinab Badawi for such an amazingly informative and powerful presentation of African history, one that instills the pride, resilience and dignity of what it means to be African, including those of African decent (which are many). Your brilliant work is very much appreciated 🙏🏾.
10/10. Many thanks for this series about the land I came from. the history, the many trials Africa had to go through, the information they never taught in school. so much they have hidden from us as a people. have to see society differently from now on with this information about Africa and Europe. The kinda information everyone should know. not just Black/African People. I watched 1-21. will watch it again for reference. Thank you to the makers of this series.
This series was very informative and I learned so many things about African culture, struggles yesterday and today! It also made me reflect on how all of the past situations from slavery to colonialism cross the waters with my ancestors and continues through the African American generations today in the United States. None of this is taught in school in America and I never knew or heard about Africans being sent back to Africa because they were free in other countries as a way to keep the enslaved Africans under control. Wow....what an amazing piece BBC. I must share this with the younger generation of my family.
I love Africa my continent.❤️🌍✌️🙏😄👪. God bless you with love. I lived a little bit of colonialism. My country Cape Verd island (Cabo Verde) took independence from Portugal in 1975 I was a teenager.❤️🌍🙏.
I love this series. As a indigenous Liberian, the pepper coast not only existed prior to all it's European names but we thrived. The "created" part felt wrong but I understand the phrase here.
As a somali I feel more intoned with our story from this documentary because I dnt even know the story of my own country and knowing bits of African story as whole continent made me more interested knowing my own so thanks and I pray as a fellow African that we may do better as we did so good until this day of age let's get more independent so no one can use us. love the dearest Zainab Badawi and all the other who took part of telling and educated us through one love for humans
It was a very educative and a well covered documentary series thank you so much Madam Zainabu for the well published History of our motherland continent! After watching all this I understand Africa we can still make to a brighter 🔆 future 🔮 and its our time as a generation to make an impact
Thanks so much zainab, nice job, you have listened to many faces and traveled many places, many people have watched and the real deal is; "That's how judgement day will be like." Everyone will see the past and the deeds of everyone, the present will also be viewed by everyone!! And the judgement will be made, thank you 🙏🏼
I finish watching this series with tears in my eyes. I will forever be an ally by telling people of my color to take a seat, stay in their lane and just listen. The pain, suffering, sadness and anger felt by all of those who have subjugated by western influences is legitimate, understandable and valid. I only hope the best for Africa and for those here in America that are still dealing with systemic racism. We are all the same inside and color should not be what divides us as it’s nothing than a skin-suit that holds no barring when we pass to the afterlife.💞🙏🏻
COLOUR is the EXCUSE and STRATEGY the NOAHIDES(CAIN+SETH=hence HAM+SHEM=JAPHETH-Brown-Yello-White-"ideal") use to COIN RACE as a STRATEGY for IMPERIALISM! NOAHIDES are the only ones with a "COLOUR" NARRATIVE, NOT the BANTU, COLOUR is NOT part of THE BANTU, but of the NOAHIDES which they IMPOSE on the BANTU! BANTU are LOAM-MAHOGANY-APAHR(dust) peoples and COLOUR (Brown-Yello-White) was BROGUHT and IMPOSED on the BANTU and used AGAINST them! and THEY CONTINUE to use it to CONTROL EVER LARGER PARTS Of the BANTU territory! so, WELL CONCLUDED Dr OMBONGI!

EXACTLY! WELL CONCLUDED Dr OMBONGI! COLONIALISMS are just EXCUSES for SEMITIC-HAMETIC war-games for CONTROL of BANTU RESOURCES on the continet of ITURI-surnamed "Africa". Africa means the MINGLED MIXED Races of the SEMITIC-HAMETIC people on the CONTINENT. The continent is properly ITURI of the BANTU peoples who are NOT NOAHIDES and are the OTHER sons and daughters of Adam and Eve who NEVER intermingled with the NOAHIDES(CAIN-SETH intermingling at Gen 6 producing HAM-SHEM & JAPHETH) but the NOAHIDES have ben FIGHTING to GENETICALLY CONTROL the BANTU and their RESOURCES from time immemorial and only managed to do so whenthey MADE GUNS while BANTUS were too sure of their own ability to defeat them!
So while the ENEMIES of LUMUMBA-are the USA-BELGIUM-SEMITICS, the ENEMIES of SESESEKO are the HAMETIC FRENCH. SO WHENEVER BANTU ITURI aligns with EITHER the SEMTICS or HAMETICS, they are inevitably FIGHTING their wars rather than SECURING their own INDEPENDENCE! Africa is seen by the SEMITIC-HAMETIC(CAIN-SETH) RACES as a SCRAM ground for their IMPERIALISTIC wars for control! ITURI needs to SHED these SEMITIC-HAMETIC SHACKLES with their JAPHETHITE "Hegelian Ideal Brown-Yello-WHite-'ideal' and RECLAIM their LOAM SOIL-MAHOGANY-APAHR(dust of the ground)-ROOTS! The NOAHIDES need to LEAVE ITURI ALONE! It is NOT their "original homeland"! BANTU like the NOAHIDE CAIN, and SETH are just A SON OF ADAM and NOT the original "father" of the NOAHIDES! NOAHIDES are children of CAIn and SETH, as BANTU are descendants of BANTU their forefather! and NOT NOAHIDE(HAM+SHEM=JAPHETHS!)...when BANTU realises they DONT NEED these NOAHIDE "alliances" under the GUISE of PAN-AFRICANISM whichis A NOAHIDE HEGELIAN IDEALISM, then they willbegin to BE FREE INDEED pf these SHACKLES playing mind-games while being ON THE SAME NOAHIDE SIDE ALL ALONG!!

You just gotta love how no matter how good or eloquent your English is....you get subtitles and no matter how thick and heavy the presenter's British accent is, they don't get translated. (so it's not about how good you learnt their language, they have to remind you that its THEIR language.)
And they do this everywhere...even in a documentary about colonialism.

Zeinab, I'd like to thank you for this tremendous effort of bringing such important history, lessons, and inspiration to the many. From the first episode to this last one, it has been an amazing opportunity to learn even more about the African continent and its brilliant and diverse history.
Many of the episodes I have enjoyed; the ones on the Nile, the different empires and kingdoms, religion, peoples, cultural artefacts, and so on. Yet of all the episodes, I myself as a European have felt deeply embarrassed and truly sad by the atrocities committed by the people from my own continent and even own country. It's a subject that has been on my mind for many years and while it is difficult to know exactly what to say when not being able to truly understand, for myself and for my fellow Europeans I believe that one of the best things we can do is to listen, learn, and be humble. Having said that, I'd like to recommend a book that will follow up on where this episode ends called "Africa's Long Road Since Independence: The Many Histories of a Continent". To Zeinab and the entire team behind the series; a genuine and heartfelt thank you.
Africa is still not free from the colonial jaw's grip. Africa and Africans are still exploited, dictated behind the neocolonialism. Instead of compensating Africa for ripping and exploiting for so many years of colonization, African countries are burdened by endless immense of debts for old narrow roads and old buildings the colonizers built ( with locals free manpower) to serve themselves and to exploit African countries resources and wealth including the masses of unpaid manpower for more than two centuries ( do not forget the monstrous Belgian and Portuguese colonizers since the 16th centuries in Eastern Africa.) Africa is suffocating by debts, high interests, man-made frictions, man-made conflict, forced coup, civil-wars, assassinations of African Good Leaders, unfair Trade, forced imports, forced inflation, forced devaluation of African currencies, malicious devaluations of African goods and services and so on and so forth. Enough is Enough. No More to exploitations by the West or by the East. It is time to call for Africa's wealth for Africans.

May the rest in peace! The inhumanity, oppression, and abuse has always been so hard for me to comprehend! It is my hope to return to visit with my homeland so soon!
Thank you for this history and insight, Zeinab and those who put these together! We were so well informed by them!

Growing up in the Caribbean and North America I learned next to nothing about African history and cultures. I was basically thought not to like Africa because it had no value, but thanks to programs like this I have found a new love and appreciation for Africa. I am eager to visit the land of my ancestor and the birth place of humanity. Long live Africa and Africans!
Well said.
I grew up in the Caribbean as well and during that time all I learned about history was the 'Transatlantic Slave Trade'. Only as an adult that I have been learning about African History and the 1st book I read was by Dr. Walter Rodney entitled 'How Europe Underdevelped Africa'. Once I read that it was a light going off in my head like the 'Matrix'. What can I say, we have to learn so much about our history so as to reconnect and know where we are in this world. My focus now is to learn more about African History. My 1st step will be in Egypt then I work my way from there.

Thank you Zeinab, Unesco and BBC for this opportunity to learn more about África and African people than I've learned my hole life.

Africa would be freed again during the Covid-19 because we have been enlightened to know a lot of history at this time, through your documentary. Thanks.
Thank you Zainab and the whole team behind it.
Zainab, your floral blouse and black pants with the hat are now historical items and should be deposited at the nearest African museum.
You donned just that set for a whole 20 episodes of the documentary. I just learnt a lesson in packing light😊
But it kept the series uniform and without distraction. I loved that. Almost felt like one massive story told by a single story teller in one day.
Thank you, BBC and Zeinab Badawi, for this wonderful series. I'll miss you, Zeinab!
finally ended the last episode, I thank you my sister Zeinab Badawi for the interesting work. I don't know what to say but may all African find this importance history of their own and use it to enlighten their children's. I feel much alive hearing a history of Africa directly from the prospective of our own.i have learned a lot.
Sayid Mohamed Abdullah Hassan of Somalia was a resistance leader of the Dervish State who fought a 20 year war against the British Empire and Italian Empire, the longest anti colonial resistance war in african history
In 1811 Sir John Cradock(British) declared war against amaXHOSA of South Africa till 1906, the longest anti colonial resistance war in african history
@@nkululekomabentsela6103 you were eventually defeated easily by British land forces and boers while the Somali Dervish Movement armies of Sayyid Mohamed Abdulla Hassan defeated not just the British empire but also the Italian empire simultaneously for 21 years and we only lost because finally the British deployed aeroplanes to bomb our castles and this was the first time in African history aeroplanes were used by Europeans in military affairs...also we actually even killed high ranking British and Italian generals commanders and governors like Richard Corfield...you guys didn't
@@nkululekomabentsela6103 also those were not ongoing wars they were xhosa khoikhoi guerilla wars that were each crushed then they did nothing for years then started another guerilla war only to be crushed again all together there were 7 such wars that stopped and started... this is not the longest continuous anticolonial war, this title according to all historians goes to the Somali Dervish Movement armies
Lol have you heard of Ekumeku war in eastern Nigeria ? They fought the British for 31 years. Check it out
@@nkululekomabentsela6103 Are u serious? South Africa is still under British and dutch role. Its actually the only country in Africa that's still colonised

How do we get these lessons into the African school Curriculums? This whole series is incredibly important for every young mind in Africa. Powerful work Mrs. Zainab Badawi. Truly powerful work you're doing.
@Memeo Alcea Marcus Garvey was wrong. RazorBladeKandy was white. Chinweizu synthesized both their ideas but it was Rollo Tomassi who perfected them. His text The Rational Male currently has far more appeal than the myriad of black nationalist literature already in circulation. It so happens that he published it the same year Tommy Curry challenged the fantasy of male privilege, referring to being a black male as a death sentence .
His The Man Not however was not the first text to address the shortcomings of fem-centric pan-africanism. Nor was his recent 'Decolonising the Intersection' despite highlighting his attempts to emphasise the role of misandry in black female thinking. Chinweizu (Anamtomy of female power) and Shahrazad Ali (The Black Mans Guide) also made similar efforts but it was George Subira (1992) who hit the mark .
Unlike Chinweizu, Subira did not draw upon Esther Vilar's 1976 classic, The Manipulated Man. Unlike most disciplined minds, Subira was an original thinker and one of the first to advocate a programme of economic leadership. Most modern black rhetoricians can offer no such programme or agenda because they are largely victims of black female programming. Their minds were long domesticated meaning they are reduced to reproducing aimless echo chambers almost every time they talk.
Neely Fuller (1957) was not hostage to such conditioning but his programme seems to have a key fault. Despite realising the incredible driving motivating force of sexual expression , he still managed to downplay it's role, especially how it compares to the larger logic of antiblackness and global white terror domination. Although Charles Mills (1997) did indirectly develop his ideas, he neglected to integrate the foundation his own work borrowed from, "The Sexual Contract." (1996)
Neil Postman, like Jeff Schmidtt, was one of the few people capable of making sense of these divergent ideas (much like John Gatto and Jan Matthews were two of those rare individuals with the pieces of the puzzle.) Conventional panafrikanism doesn't even realise there is a jigsaw to be solved. It has a distorted conception of itself because it views the world through a damaged lens incapable of accountability and self-reflection.
PanAfrikanism will not produce any quick results either because unlike Chinweizu, Subira and Curry, it still refuses the interrogate and recognise the role of women in sabotaging the afrikan agenda. Texts like Addicted to White work towards this, only, in this age of intersectional confusion and fragmented voices in the wind, it isn't necessary to silence this perspective; it is enough just to drown it out. Jacques Ellul and Guy Debord surely foresaw this tragic arrangement, when few others could.
Men have been fooled, black and white. It is no longer a question of race-first but male first, if not black-male first at the very least. Men are going to have to muster the clarity and courage to challenge the corporate-feminine regime dominating their "emptied" lives. If anything is to be redeemed black thinkers will need to prioritise the black pill and realise that the fundamental question of what it means to be a woman is as urgent as the need to ask what it means to be white.

1. Attention to a woman is like a blowjob to a man
2. When a man's contempt for women surpasses his lust for them, only then shall he become wise
3. Women think all men are the same - that is their strength. Men think all women are different - that is their weakness
4. A man's facade of strength is his biggest weakness; a woman's facade of weakness is her biggest strength
5. Men fake interest, women fake orgasms
A. Women are not to be loved; they are to be handled
B. Women are not complicated; they are complicating
C. A man must value his time the same way women put premiums on their body
D. Men struggle for physical dominance but women opt for social domination
E. Men compete; women conspire

Thanks for the series Zeinab,there are some channels on this platform also trying to educate people on African history but since their small and individual they can be limited in the sense that they don't have the budget to travel to these places themselves and speak with the local people and experts as you've done, Its nice to really hear these things from the horses mouth. to see the BBC produce a series like this has been great and you've been a wonderful host. Take care and thank you.

Thank you Zeinab you are a true daughter of Africa
Dear Zeinab. I asked you to introduce these very important documents to be teach in all African school's. Many African education system's aren't aware of great work of yours
Colonialism and subjugation of the African people in their home were among humanity's greatest injustices based on unwarranted colonial mentality. This documentary reminds us of the history of humiliation, shame, and the Africans' conquest. As African, we have the confidence that as long as our forefathers could strategize the midpoints of emancipation from colonial oppressors, the hopes of strengthening our economies and taking care of our continent are possible now and in the days to come. Many thanks, to Zeinab Badawi, for her incredible work! Thank you!
I am ever so thankful for the Greatness in this Videos on the History of Africa ! Totally Outstanding and Very Educational and Informative .
very good doc I hope africa returns to its glory. I wish she didn't interrupt so much
What a great documentary Zainab. As Africans we need to learn where we are coming from and what has contributed to our current situation
we were strong and always remain strong and united will over come our challenges . thanks zeinab for educating us on our history and how our forefathers were strong , resilience and steadfast to give us future which we are robbed from by our current self -centered and egocentric leaders , but the future is bright inchaAllah . we are africans and africa is our business . viva pan-africanism !!!!!!!
Every patriot is limited by the ignorance of his people or of the cowards that colonialism uses. In Somalia, we know the tools colonialism used to quell the Somali thirst for freedom. Today, the descendants of those who collaborated with the British and Italians are those who abuse the Somali Nation. Like fathers, like sons ...
Wow, what a project. Thank you Zeinab and crew. Please continue to tell us the real history.
I could not have possibly learned as much from this series as Ms. Badawi has simply because she was there and I have not been. I did however, describe my viewing experience to a family member as having been on a journey. At the age of 66, I firmly believe that if we are so inclined, we as humans may choose to never stop learning. I have learned a lot from this BBC History of Africa. Thank you to everyone involved.
Thank you Zeinab Badawi for such an amazingly informative and powerful presentation of African history, one that instills the pride, resilience and dignity of what it means to be African, including those of African decent (which are many). Your brilliant work is very much appreciated 🙏🏾.
Thank you love
This whole series has been fantastic! And there's so much more untold history
10/10. Many thanks for this series about the land I came from. the history, the many trials Africa had to go through, the information they never taught in school. so much they have hidden from us as a people. have to see society differently from now on with this information about Africa and Europe.
The kinda information everyone should know. not just Black/African People.
I watched 1-21. will watch it again for reference. Thank you to the makers of this series.
This series was very informative and I learned so many things about African culture, struggles yesterday and today! It also made me reflect on how all of the past situations from slavery to colonialism cross the waters with my ancestors and continues through the African American generations today in the United States. None of this is taught in school in America and I never knew or heard about Africans being sent back to Africa because they were free in other countries as a way to keep the enslaved Africans under control. Wow....what an amazing piece BBC. I must share this with the younger generation of my family.
I love Africa my continent.❤️🌍✌️🙏😄👪. God bless you with love. I lived a little bit of colonialism. My country Cape Verd island (Cabo Verde) took independence from Portugal in 1975 I was a teenager.❤️🌍🙏.
I honour those who fought and died among our fallen they will be remembered as Heros!

This is a master piece that will live to educate our children and grand children many years to come. Thank you BBC
I love this series. As a indigenous Liberian, the pepper coast not only existed prior to all it's European names but we thrived. The "created" part felt wrong but I understand the phrase here.

As a somali I feel more intoned with our story from this documentary because I dnt even know the story of my own country and knowing bits of African story as whole continent made me more interested knowing my own so thanks and I pray as a fellow African that we may do better as we did so good until this day of age let's get more independent so no one can use us. love the dearest Zainab Badawi and all the other who took part of telling and educated us through one love for humans
Words fail me and thanking you is not enough for this tremedous work. The gratitiude of Pan-Afrika is sent to you.

It was a very educative and a well covered documentary series thank you so much Madam Zainabu for the well published History of our motherland continent! After watching all this I understand Africa we can still make to a brighter 🔆 future 🔮 and its our time as a generation to make an impact
Thanks so much zainab, nice job, you have listened to many faces and traveled many places, many people have watched and the real deal is; "That's how judgement day will be like." Everyone will see the past and the deeds of everyone, the present will also be viewed by everyone!!
And the judgement will be made, thank you 🙏🏼

THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DOCUMENTARY ON RUclips. THANKS.
thanks, Zeinab for going with us through this journey as a Nubian Egyptian, African, and human I was happy and delighted with this journey, thanks
It is a great History series. I started watching in Lockdown. I started loving Africa ..more and more
I finish watching this series with tears in my eyes. I will forever be an ally by telling people of my color to take a seat, stay in their lane and just listen. The pain, suffering, sadness and anger felt by all of those who have subjugated by western influences is legitimate, understandable and valid. I only hope the best for Africa and for those here in America that are still dealing with systemic racism. We are all the same inside and color should not be what divides us as it’s nothing than a skin-suit that holds no barring when we pass to the afterlife.💞🙏🏻
COLOUR is the EXCUSE and STRATEGY the NOAHIDES(CAIN+SETH=hence HAM+SHEM=JAPHETH-Brown-Yello-White-"ideal") use to COIN RACE as a STRATEGY for IMPERIALISM! NOAHIDES are the only ones with a "COLOUR" NARRATIVE, NOT the BANTU, COLOUR is NOT part of THE BANTU, but of the NOAHIDES which they IMPOSE on the BANTU! BANTU are LOAM-MAHOGANY-APAHR(dust) peoples and COLOUR (Brown-Yello-White) was BROGUHT and IMPOSED on the BANTU and used AGAINST them! and THEY CONTINUE to use it to CONTROL EVER LARGER PARTS Of the BANTU territory!
so, WELL CONCLUDED Dr OMBONGI! COLONIALISMS are just EXCUSES for SEMITIC-HAMETIC war-games for CONTROL of BANTU RESOURCES on the continet of ITURI-surnamed "Africa". Africa means the MINGLED MIXED Races of the SEMITIC-HAMETIC people on the CONTINENT. The continent is properly ITURI of the BANTU peoples who are NOT NOAHIDES and are the OTHER sons and daughters of Adam and Eve who NEVER intermingled with the NOAHIDES(CAIN-SETH intermingling at Gen 6 producing HAM-SHEM & JAPHETH) but the NOAHIDES have ben FIGHTING to GENETICALLY CONTROL the BANTU and their RESOURCES from time immemorial and only managed to do so whenthey MADE GUNS while BANTUS were too sure of their own ability to defeat them!
So while the ENEMIES of LUMUMBA-are the USA-BELGIUM-SEMITICS, the ENEMIES of SESESEKO are the HAMETIC FRENCH. SO WHENEVER BANTU ITURI aligns with EITHER the SEMTICS or HAMETICS, they are inevitably FIGHTING their wars rather than SECURING their own INDEPENDENCE! Africa is seen by the SEMITIC-HAMETIC(CAIN-SETH) RACES as a SCRAM ground for their IMPERIALISTIC wars for control! ITURI needs to SHED these SEMITIC-HAMETIC SHACKLES with their JAPHETHITE "Hegelian Ideal Brown-Yello-WHite-'ideal' and RECLAIM their LOAM SOIL-MAHOGANY-APAHR(dust of the ground)-ROOTS! The NOAHIDES need to LEAVE ITURI ALONE! It is NOT their "original homeland"! BANTU like the NOAHIDE CAIN, and SETH are just A SON OF ADAM and NOT the original "father" of the NOAHIDES! NOAHIDES are children of CAIn and SETH, as BANTU are descendants of BANTU their forefather! and NOT NOAHIDE(HAM+SHEM=JAPHETHS!)...when BANTU realises they DONT NEED these NOAHIDE "alliances" under the GUISE of PAN-AFRICANISM whichis A NOAHIDE HEGELIAN IDEALISM, then they willbegin to BE FREE INDEED pf these SHACKLES playing mind-games while being ON THE SAME NOAHIDE SIDE ALL ALONG!!
These episodes were supremely informative ,love zeinab 👌🤲🧕✌
It was great to hear the voices of Africa
