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.

Chinese Firm Mines Gold in DR Congo Heritage Site | Vantage with Palki Sharma

A Chinese firm is mining gold in an endangered UNESCO World Heritage site in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Okapi wildlife reserve in the DRC has been a protected reserve for decades. But a Chinese firm struck a deal with some DRC government officials and got a permit to mine gold in the protected land. The officials redrew the reserve's boundaries to allow the Chinese firm to mine inside the reserve. Locals say that they are suffering because of the Chinese mine, and that the protected area is getting devastated.

👑 Songhai Empire vs Sahel States: Africa’s Past and Future?Are We Witnessing the Rebirth of the Songhai Empire? After my video about the Alliance of the Sahel States (AES) some people wrote in the comments that this Alliance may be a continuation or reunification of the Great West African empires, especially the Songhai empire, the last one of the big empires in West Africa.Let's check it out! Even though a comparison is difficult because of the huge historical and geopolitical contexts, it's fun to think about the differences and similarities between these two major constructs, one was an empire that survived over 180 years, the other is a union that just turned one.I'll do my best for this comparison 🤓00:00 Historical Context: The Songhai Empire

A Film by Richard Pakleppa, Matthias Röhrig Assunção and Mestre Cobra Mansa.
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art that combines dance, combat, theatre and music. Capoeira was first documented among enslaved Africans and Creoles in Brazilian port cities such as Rio de Janeiro and Salvador da Bahia. It is the only martial art with an African heritage now practiced world wide.
One powerful myth about its African origins links capoeira to a legendary Angolan game called engolo.
Jogo de Corpo/Body Games follows capoeira master Cobra Mansa and his friends on travels through Angola and Brazil in search of the historical roots of their art. The journey explores deeper connections between slavery, identity and society.
In Jogo do Corpo we meet colourful characters on both sides of the Atlantic: capoeira masters Boca Rica, Celso, Moraes and Felipe and engolo players Angelino, Kahani, Muhalambadji, and Lombolene.
@capoeirahistory is happy to make this film, produced in 2013-14, freely available.
