A documentary on the Nubian Archers - Longbow-men of Africa.
⁣In this Units of History documentary we explore the story of the Nubian Archers - Longbowmen of Africa. The episode begins with an introduction to the lands of the Nile, its geography, and the entwined development of both Egypt and Nubia. In this context it appears that the Nubian Archers existed from the very start as skilled hunters in southern civilization. Over time they would develop such a reputation that the ancient Egyptians would call the area of ancient Nubia, Tah-Seti, the Land of the Bow. Both the Egyptian Army and the Nubian Army would clash for centuries along the Nile. Such was the threat from Nubia that the Pharaohs began to fortify the region of the first cataract with a series of Egyptian Fortifications like the Buhen Fortress. Yet even still the Nubian Archers could not be stopped and their armies are said to have regularly managed to storm these bastions. The Egyptians recognized the military prowess of the Nubian Archers and quickly hired them as mercenaries in their own armies. This was a trend that would continue with later Empires that interacted with the Lands of Nubia. We talk specifically about what the equipment of these Nubian archers, how they were trained, how they were organized, and how they fought in battle. Finally the documentary concludes with an overview of their service history that would span hundreds of years through the Kingdom of Kerma, the Kingdom of Napata, and the Kingdom of Meroe. Stay tuned for more Units of History episodes and let us know what units you would like to see covered next! I'm excited to also cover more of the history of Nubia and African history in general! For now you can check out our previous episodes on Ancient Egypt and the Roman Invasion of Nubia.

Traore Shuts Down Destabilization Attempt-Arrests Imam  for Stirring up Islamic religious division i
Traore Shuts Down Destabilization Attempt-Arrests Imam for Stirring up Islamic religious division i Kwabena Ofori Osei 14 Views • 22 days ago

Tensions are rising once again in Burkina Faso after reports emerged that authorities under Captain Ibrahim Traoré moved against a prominent imam, sparking outrage, confusion, and heavy public reactions. Supporters of the military-led government argue that the action was necessary to protect national stability and prevent influential figures from fueling division during a critical period in the country’s fight against insecurity and terrorism. But critics believe the arrest raises serious concerns about freedom of speech, religious influence, and the growing concentration of power under the current leadership.

As protests grow and debates intensify online and on the streets, many people are asking the same question: what really happened behind the scenes? Was this purely a security matter, or is there a deeper political struggle unfolding inside Burkina Faso? With emotions running high, conflicting narratives have emerged, making it difficult to separate facts from propaganda.

Captain Ibrahim Traoré remains one of the most talked-about leaders in Africa today, admired by many for his bold anti-colonial rhetoric and efforts to redefine Burkina Faso’s alliances. However, incidents like this continue to spark concerns about governance, dissent, and the balance between national security and civil liberties. In this video, we break down the controversy, the protests, the political implications, and the details many international media outlets are not fully discussing.
