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.

Cocoa prices are hitting historic highs, as Western commodities markets are registering deficits of 478,000 tons of cocoa beans.
This is the result of a strategy by West African countries Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two biggest suppliers of cocoa to global markets. Beginning in 2019, they partnered with Chinese firms to process their cocoa in-country, and to sell their product directly to Chinese companies.
By cutting out speculators and traders in Western brokerages, and going around marketing and branding companies in the US and Switzerland, producers in Africa and their buyers in China keep far larger profits for themselves. West African suppliers more than double their exports by grinding their cocoa beans in-country, and Chinese firms realize far higher margins and a guaranteed supply of the world's high-quality processed cocoas.

A song and video I put together to honor my haitian ancestry and to tell the story of how Haiti became the first independent black republic in the western hemisphere following a successful slave rebellion.
Lyrics:
Nowadays you can die from too much sodium.
We hearing lies from the guys behind the podiums.
but while the whole world is warring for petroleum
we can't forget that the haitians beat Napoleon.
Yup, It started 1791. A whip cracked. A cracker said this is what I need done.
A voodou priest gazed high into the shiny sun
and thought "I'de probably get caught if I try to run.
How can I make it so they'll never be pursuing me?"
He held a ceremony, started preaching unity.
Within 10 days of taking out revenge they
took over the north province. Bondage abolished.
By the next year, 1792
they gained a 3rd of the island since the fight ensued.
Niggas was wildin'. French bodies was piling.
They tried to give rights to the freed to end the violence.
But it was too late. The haitians wasn't giving in
to leave their kin in the condition they was living in.
By seven trey (73) the French was warring with the Brits.
The Spanish took the British side and got up in the mix.
The blacks fought along with Spain.
The French caved and emancipated all their slaves.
It wasn't over tho cuz Britain and Spain
figured they was royalty, was setting to reign.
So a black commander who was fighting for the Spanish crown
fought for the French. Former slaves held him down.
This was in 74. They fought for four years.
Sent the British home running. They was all tears.
In 1800 went to Santo Domingo
and by 01 they freed the slaves from the gringos.
But Napoleon needed slaves.
He tricked the commander and then he had him locked away.
For a few months Napoleion was back in power,
but then a general took wind. Was smelling something sour.
His name was Dessalines.
He led a next rebellion and chased them out the scene
as bodies sunk in the ravine.
Established a republic. Policy was closed door
since the first of the year in 1804.
Big up to Dessalines. Big up to Toussaint.
Big up to Boukman. Big up to Petion.
January the first dont watch the ball drop.
We celebrate our independence. Bring out all stops.
Where my soup joumou at?
