Challenge: Which word did I mispronounce this time? :D
An interesting thing about Swaziland that I'm surprised you didn't mention was that it recently changed its name officially to eSwatini (yes I know it's a weird spelling) because the king decreed it so (I know this comment wasn't about mispronunciation, I just thought it was interesting) :)
General Knowledge clarify
Lesotho should be pronouncen like [lezutu]
Maybe at 9:17 you spelled conisit weirdly or maybe it's just your accent idk.
General Knowledge I think that Lesotho is spoken like Lesouthou
Was expecting Sao Tome and Principe or Comoros
I'll add them in a part 2!
Lesotho i did not know but the rest i did ;)
Those would have been cool! Mauritania and their casual legal slavery, burkina faso would be nice. Eritrea was the last country in the world i discovered and i was about 30 at the time and furious that a country could exist that i had never heard of 😂
@@beegnutz Understandable. They got their independence 1993 after a 30 years running independence war alone against Ethiopia and their allies, which were powers like USA, Soviet Union, Kuba, Israel, (East-)Germany etc. So their war and success was until recent years never a good press in the homelands of the big powers and hidden. Adding to that it needed always some years, after everybody actualized their maps, map books etc, so I was as an Eritrean always fed up, when we used maps in 1999 in the German school, which were released 1990...
Of course
The background music belongs to Eritrea National Anthem 🇪🇷
I am Eritrean!
God bless u
Yep me too I surprised
🇪🇷👆
@@LarzGustafsson nice joke we got alone and who r u to talk about eritrea
@@AA-mu3dw 🇦🇿🇪🇷are same colors
Swaziland is now called eSwatini.
Really since from when
Oof, really? None of my maps or Atlases reflect this 😞
@@beegnutz The name was changed recently. You probably bought those maps before Swaziland became eSwatini.
Eswatini or East Swatini
@@beegnutz name changed boy it's now known as eSwatini
You know Swaziland changed it name to eSwantini right?
*eSwatini
Sounds sexy
Flux Gaming It’s eSwatini
Kingdom of eSwatini in this longer form
Fiery Gaming and Swaziland is quite well known, it's the first country people I ask name when I say name 10 African countries.

In Indonesia Asmara (in minutes 3:10) means falling in love...
I have heard it before bro... but in tigrigna - the native language of the asmara, 'asmera' means 'the femanine(plural) made them united'.
Really wow by the way 'm from Asmara capital city of eritrea
Thanks dude and indeed the city Asmera is a place of love❤️❤️❤️
Dana Q : just incase you wanna know In tigrina ASMARA means the name of female.
@@LarzGustafsson I don't give a fuck for such an idiot man like you . btw your last name "gustafsson" means Fuck yourself in svenska haha .
Well done! I knew about some of the countries you mentioned, but not to the extent covered. Thank you for sharing!!
As a European citizen (from Greece) i know all this countries!! i am also good in geography! :)
I love the way you talk. I could listen to you all day. Thank you for this very interesting info. I always try to learn as much as I can about Africa.
Lesotho is very peaceful and amazing guys.The land of beautiful people...both👩🏾👨🏾
Yeahh...
Our beautiful homeland
Really, I would love to come to Lesotho, I'm a Nigerian currently residing in India.... So how do I go about this
Are you sure that its peaceful?

I’m a Gambian living in Europe it’s true that weren’t well known around the world 🌎 our nickname is the SMILING COAST 💕
Yeah im 1/4 from ghana and 3/4 from ivory coast and i live in germany 🌍
I love this series. Even if i know all of the countries you provide some interessting informations about them!
The reign of Moshoeshoe of the Basotho was pretty amazing actually. He had this fortress on top of a mountain called Thaba Bosiu and ruled over a large area. He started modernising as he was one of the few african leaders to realise that he had no hope of defeating the colonists without modern weapons. So he invited missionaries to teach his people mathematics and more effective farmung techniques. He even had a whole cavalry unit armed with modern rifles. He took to dressing in a suit as well as his native garb. He actually managed to keep the boet trekkers at bay for thirty years until he grew old and weak. His sons started fighting for the kingdom and he realised this would weaken them and they wouldn't be able to resist the boers any longer so rather than let this happen he applied to become a protectorate of Britain retaining some independence which was better than having his whole country flooded with white settlers.
Thank you, for your insight, direct, and replete.. satisfying
Thanks. I love this stuff. Great explanations. Great information!

Rlobs Gucciardini The first time I've ever heard of Cape Verde is when I found out the R&B 70's group Tavares (Walking In Rhythm) parents were from Cape Verde
Sao tome and cape verde are very much known if u leave in Europe

I think Chad is one of the least known countries in Africa. Ive never heard of anyone going to the chad.
Such a big country but at the same time such an unknown land, i'm italian and in those years we have the problem of immigration from those nations, i heard people from Nigeria, Tunisia, Algeria, morocco, Egypt, Ghana, Senegal but never from chad, who the f... lives there ?
Definitely not a toirist destination but known
Am African I know all African countries but I too iv never heard any go to Chad or basically anything about Chad. A few weeks I actually took interest and did some research on it but I don't know it seems not much it happening there
Its the chad colony of romania
...Doesn’t mean it’s unknown...
Great work!congratulations!

10:30 you mean 15 years?!
hahhahaha
Whoops, yes I mean 15 years
Bace Bulgarian Mapper, I sent you a message/request on Skype!
General Knowledge forgot Principe and the others and Canama
you could have said a lot more interesting things like for example the fact that Lesotho is so highly elevated and so down south that during the winter months (June to August) they have world class ski paradises up in the mountains. pretty surprising considering it's on the African continent (even tho Morocco has ski paradises too)
mysteriousDSF, nevertheless to mention the huge water scheme going on around there, one of the highest dam walls is in there, the Katse dam/reservoir
Well done, this is interesting
Great stuff!
SAO TOME & PRINCIPE is quite unknown too.

mixererunio I can say as an American that I only know 3/4 of the countries in Africa
the blind zone ! I knew all The ones in The video but I don't know some
Says the piece of shit on an American website. What the fuck has your piece of shit country ever done? Jealous bitch.

I’m an American and I’m probably better at geography than you lol, but this is very true that the us is very retarded when it comes to geography or really knowing anything outside of their own country. I guarantee you 99.9% of americans couldn’t even name a Canadian province.
I would have mentioned South Sudan, since it is a newer. country.

@@Catlily5Ouch, and I only came back to this video from a screenshot I took back in 2018 of this. Wow, yep UA-cam doesn’t notify me on comment replies if my @ is not mentioned
Very good bro
Nice video man.. I can't help though, but feel you have not said enough about my country Swaziland😂😅 ( yeah, we changed to Eswatini.. we would not feel offended if you said our country is called Swaziland though lol)... We have one of the most intriguing countries in the world... That's why I was expecting to hear more 😆..
One reason I might not know (or I forget) the NAMES of the countries is that I'm old and learned about these places as colonies or young states before they changed their names, sometimes changing back to older names... Botswana (Bechuanaland), Namibia (SW Africa), Zimbabwe (Rhodesia), Benin (Dahomey), Burkina Faso (Upper Volta), Malawi (Nyasaland), Tanzania (Tanganyika and Zanzibar), Congo (Belgian Congo, then Zaire, and back; now making two countries named Congo), Djibouti (French Somaliland), Ghana (Gold Coast), just to name a few. But I can never remember what Zambia used to be called...? Anyway, the area is still in flux after centuries of colonization, so no wonder there's still confusion.
Zambia was also called Rhodesia as a colony, i just cant remember which was North & which was South Zimbabwe or Zambia but both were Rhodesia
You forgot to mention that Togo was larger than that. Part of it was added to Ghana. After Germany lost Togo, France and England divided it and the British part was added to Ghana. 🙂
Brilliant summary.
I didn't know some of these countries and all these you shared about them.
The background music is eriterean national anthem
somalia # Djibouti # Eritrea #
Kenya # 💖💖😍😍🇸🇴🇰🇪🇩🇯🇪🇷✔
I definitely want to see more on the Zulu...and wouldn't mind one bit a video on each of the native populations.
I'm from Swaziland (is now called eSwatini (the land that belongs to the Swazis) pronounced ehh-swa-t-dini) and it most definitely isn't Zulu. Back in the day tribes that ruled of Southern Africa, stretching as far as Tanzania. The link can be shown through the languages "Bantu" languages, they are very different but share similar meanings and sound the same... Anyway, eSwatini's main languages are English and Siswati (which is similar to Zulu but belongs to a different tribe). eSwatini's land was taken away by the British through tricking the then King to sign off the land, know though Swazi land is used but South Africa and Mozambique but the Swazis who do live there speak Siswati and the countries recognise that the land they use is originally Swazi. African history varies from country to country but is very rich, but it's to think that colonization has erased the history and placed their own narrative on it. You can probably make a whole series on Swazi history alone.
So true
I'm a Swazi too but lives in Canada
To be honest with you people won't know the change's because they don't even know that a country called Swaziland exist,trust me I'm speaking from experience
Djibouti is well-known country. France, China , the US and other country have military base there, while Somalia has(there is)only one military base(the Turkish military base)
I'm very sorry the way you explained, because of,there is another African country's that you take as a example , by the way, Djibouti and Somalia are same countries as brothers, also let me remind you how Somalia was when there was a peaceful, Somalia was the strongest military in Africa and still Somalia is a famous country and don't forget that Somalia helps you to get your independence
Is that the Eritrean national anthem playing in the background
I just noticed that😂
( Thank you for video ).👍👍💓💓👍👍
Great video. Though must admit that you sure had a pickle pronouncing the Lesotho and just about everything that had to with it.
Keep them coming. Botswana.
Note that Swaziland was recently renamed, and is now officially called "The Kingdom of eSwatini"
Erudito otidurE It’s still Swaziland in the UN though, I think calling it Swaziland is still ok until that changes.
+Sparx632 Yes, you're right, I just thought the new name was an interesting fact worth pointing out.
if eSwatini was owned by Apple it would be called iSwatini
@@Sparx632 They officially changed the name, just like Congo, Zaire, and then DR Congo.
Sao Tome and Principe, Mauritius, Comoros, Seychelles, Cape Verde?
I was going to say Cape Verde too
Chad
All a bunch of shitty, irrelevant islands.
@@nixonhoover2 What r u talking about
Cabo Verde
Underrated channel
Well done👍
Eritrea ♥️🇪🇷
Eritrean is my beautiful country 💓
ye 💪❤👏👏
*Eritrea
I would here too, are they Christian or Muslim?
@@ijehonmascot1535 half half
Intro by eritrean national anthem i love it
I know about all of these countries but still great vidio.
You forgot to mention the Polisario movement of Western Sahara. Also Djibouti's population is Somalis and Afars with a very few Arabs. Again, you forgot to mention the Afars.
The Polisario is basically "SADR" , they ain't got no control on that Moroccan territory even though they still claiming it whether they're mostly Algerian/Mauritanian ancestry refugees in the Algerian (former Moroccan) western city of Tindouf, I can tell since I'm living at one of the most southern cities as well as being a peninsula there called "Dakhla"
what about São Tomé and Príncipe, or Malawi, Guinea-Bissau, Côte d'Ivoire, Sierra Leone, Cape Verde, Comoros, Seychelles, and Equatorial Guinea
a guy from Florida Mauritius and Equatorial Guinea
I think Malawi,Seychelles, and ivory coast are well known
Legend has it, I already know all the countries before I watched this video
WOW I’ve never heard of Switzerland! Is that in The southwest part of America?
jUsT jOkInG 🙃
I know every country you mentioned and I'm from 🇮🇳
Am stunned most Indians don't really dig geography ....just saying ....I lived in India
I live in India too
I heard the Gambian national anthem in the background.when he was talking about Djibouti and Eritrea
I heard it too but wasn't sure😌
Its true
Hearing the background musical puts smile on me for a while.. Erena
I think it's more of small countries than unknown countries, because some of these countries are well know for somethings
I knew all of this I'm surprised people don't know it especially Togo and Benin and Liberia .well I'm African so that's why
I'm from Sweden and I can still place all African countries on a map. I think this video is intended for an American audience since they barely can place their own country on a map...
Congo Brazaville should have replaced Burundi for sure. Everybody thinks there's only one Congo.
Make a vid about Swaziland! I would love to know more!
kermit the frog You mean Eswatini?
Fun fact about The Gambia: Before Britain took control of Gambia, the smallest European colonial power, Courland, had a colony on St Andrew Island in the Gambia which it lost to the Brits 1664
Pretty much every country has multiple ethnic groups and multiple religions
True!
Ehh
I like these videos
Nothing else to say
idk
bye
Just Zimichulee Kok ?u man
Thank you for playing the Burundian national anthem melody as your background music.
Unknown countries in Europe.
Please do that next.
Most of them must be from Balkan or Eastern Europe
So everybody knows Mauritius and Seychelles?
Especially Mauritius.
Something, something, island paradise?
I do, and I'm not a geography teacher. There are far more other countries the average Westerner knows little about
U have the nerve to play the Eritrean national anthem, and u don't even have the facts straight about Eritrea....clearly u underestimated ur audience 😒
R u Eritrean??
Even if u r not, respect
what's he wrong bro ? can you tell to me ? he even know that eritrea is a one party state and its history & you don't ,are you ?
Excellent
thanks for doing a video av my comment :)
You need some darker pencils to give more accurate skin color.
Wha-
Swaziland, I mean eswatini borders two countries
He said that, he also said it is landlocked, which has a different meaning
Yup south Africa only my best country borders it
you should have mentioned that Djibouti is full of international military stations and it is projected to become to 'Singapore of Africa'
Amazing how fast things change. Swaziland is now Eswatini
I am European but know all these countries. It is a part of general knowledge
Same
So much for general knowledge when you include an incorrect fact that Swaziland is landlocked entirely by South Africa, it actually has a small border with Mozambique.
Dylan's World he said that idiot pay attention
He didn't say it is entirely surrounded by South Africa. He said it borders Mozambique
tfw i knew all of them. you should do Oceania
The intro has the Eritrean anthem.Neat
I am proud to be Eritrea 🇪🇷👈
Biteweded jgna ertrawi ye : and I’m proud to be shaebya
Djsbouti is former French somaliland
Unknown to who?? As an african i'm familiar to all countries mentioned. Thought you was gonna talk about the islands (cape verde, the comoros) and unrecognized countries like Somaliland :)
proud of you 👍
I participated in a quiz bee when I was a kid. The questions were about the capital city of each country. That's how I knew them LOL
