A documentary on the Roman invasion of Nubia and the Kingdom of Kush (24 BC).
⁣In this history documentary we explore another one of the forgotten wars when the Roman army marched beyond the frontiers to explore parts unknown. However in order to contextualize this expedition we spend time exploring the ancient History of Egypt and the History of Nubia. We begin by looking at the geographic features of the Nile which influenced the development of the civilizations along its banks. Next we look at the intertwined development of both Egyptian and Nubian kingdoms over the eras. This covers the overlap of the Old Kingdom of Egypt, the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, and the New Kingdom of Egypt with the Kingdom of Kerma, the Kingdom of Napata, and the Kingdom of Meroe. Finally we discuss how the Roman Empire became involved in Egypt and African history. This began with Pompey and Caesar during their civil war. When Rome then chose to support the Ptolemaic rule of Cleopatra they then further became invovled. The queen would support Mark Antony in his civil war against Octavian but the eastern forces would ultimately lose at the Battle of Actium. Following this event, Octavian, now turned Augustus, would annex Egypt. Over the following decades, the emperor would embark on fresh conquests to win gold and glory. One was the Roman Invasion of Arabia and the other was the Roman invasion of Ethiopia. We covered the former in a previous video and spend the remainder of our time seeing how the conflict into Nubia would unfold. This involves a fascinating series of campaigns fought between Kandake Amanirenas and Gaius Petronius with armies of 30,000 and 10,000 respectively. Its a fascinating look into the African history that rarely gets covered.

AFRICAN AMERICA SECOND CITIZENSHIP DEAD⁉️ TRUMP PLAN TO KILL YOUR Second Citizenship EXiT STRATEGY🚨🚨 #travelban #synolve #ustravel #trump #trumpnews #trumpadministration #secondcitizenship #traveladvisory
Dangerous TRUMP TREND TARGETING AFRICAN AMERICANS EXPOSED!
Trump's Plan to Kill Second Citizenship is unsettling and has multiple implications for African Americans and American travelers as well!
We now live in a world 🌎 where EVERY SINGLE DAY I have to ask myself...
Is This REAL⁉️
In this video, I am exploring the countries the Trump Administration and USA 🇺🇸 are considering BANNING. I share whst it means for citizens wanting a second visa or citizenship in America. I also explore what this means for African Americans and second citizenship in these countries.
Join me for this conversation!
It’s going to be GOOOD!
In this eye-opening video, I uncover the latest policies and potential travel bans under the Trump administration that could impact African Americans seeking second citizenships or visas abroad. Are certain countries being unfairly targeted? What does this mean for those looking for dual nationality or global mobility? Trump's proposed new travel ban would significantly restrict or prohibit entry to the United States for people from 43 countries. This travel ban poses a threat to second citizenship (i.e. dual citizenship). It poses a threat and targets multiple countries that are "friendly" to African Americans for travel, retirement, and investment. This ban includes four of the five Caribbean citizenship by investment countries and several other countries with programs offering citizenship to African Americans such as Burkina Faso, Liberia, Malawi, Mauritania, Benin, and many more.

This video is not to deter you on your journey in anyway! We just need to be aware!
We will not STOP 🛑 WE WILL NOT BE DENIED🚫 WE WILL NOT BE DETERED‼️‼️‼️‼️ This is just t share so we are aware. Now, plan accordingly and stay on your goal 🥅 KEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE 🌎

Join me as I break down the facts, analyze the consequences, and discuss what this means for the future of African American travelers, expats, and global citizens. You don’t want to miss this!

We just need to be aware. Sometimes Family, we just need to talk...
Nothing will stop Us 🌍

"Draft List for New Travel Ban Proposes Trump Target 43 Countries"
A draft circulating inside the administration lists tree tiers of countries whose citizens may face restriction on entering the United States.
These 3 tiers of levels of Travel Advisories are:
RED Do Not Travel. All Travel Banned. 🛑
ORANGE Avoid travel due to serious risks to safety and security. Serious Restrictions. Extreme caution advised. ⛔️
YELLOW Exercise Increased Caution ⚠️

History documentary on the Mali Cavalry, Knights of Africa! Dive into this period with the book "Griots Tell No Lies".
⁣In this Units of History episode we turn our attention beyon the traditional confines of medieval history to explore the realm of West Africa and in particular the African Knights of the Mali Empire. We begin with a general overview of the region's geography which spans the vast, diverse lands between the Sahrara desert and the Atlantic ocean. We then explore the rise of the Ghana Empire which set the stage for our story. Upon this great power's fall in the 11th century of Medieval Africa, the region would fall into conflict. For a time the Sosso rose as successors. However they would be challenged by the southern Mandinka people. Their clash for the fate of the realm would be decided by the charge of heavy cavalry. But to understand the dynamics of this fight we cover the equipment, training, tactics, and organization of these Knights of Africa.

President John Mahama has called Ghana a "crime scene" following shocking revelations about mismanagement of funds by the previous administration and $21.1B in stolen state assets. Here is the story behind it and how comedian Michael Blackson got entangled in it. As ORAL embarks on the hunt for the stolen assets, I will continue to bring you updates on this story! Correction: Starting at 1:24, the video features President Nana Akufo-Addo delivering a speech.
