And yet. Still no Taiwan because of an arbitrary rule to use UN member states, a completely voluntary membership club subject to Chinese propaganda and conflicts of interest that run counter to the truth.
Crazy to think that when the Afghanistan episode came out I was on the 4th grade and now I'm starting university next week and the series is still going. Much love from Finland!
Well, this is it. The endgame. Zambia and Zimbabwe, we’ve waited years for you I find it poetic how the only Z countries in the world directly border each other 🇿🇲🇿🇼
Correction: Kalusha Bwalya is still very much alive. He's the only surviving member of the 1993 team because he was playing in the Netherlands for PSV at the time and didn't fly with the rest of the team from Zambia. Nowadays he mostly does a bunch of pundit work and is still very involved in developing and promoting Zambian football. Also, it's "Chipolopolo", not "Chipololopolo" (you added an extra "lo") 😅 Otherwise, great video as always!
@@aminadabbrulle8252 It's very likely for them to continue even after the last (current) UN-nation. There's all the territorial subdivisions, non UN/unrecognized nations, new nations that might emerge one day (with Bougainville being certain). And who knows, maybe there'll be remakes of older episodes as well.
I found you when my daughter was a high school freshman. She is looking into graduate school programs now. We bonded over these on car rides. Time flies.
Zambia gave us Collins "Ntofo-Ntofo" Mbesuma, one of the Premier Soccer Leagues best strikers ever. As South Africans 🇿🇦 we will forever be grateful to Zambia for giving us one of their greatest talent and son Collins Mbesuma.
What bronze did he win and in which sporting code? Because the medal Zambia got was through athletics and by Muzala Samukonga. Kalusha Bwalya is retired, but still involved in football as an administrator.
@@Bell-Power190 No the commentator didn't say that. I was responding to the gentleman, @strangequirks, who I misunderstood when he said "we also won a bronze medal," I thought he meant Kalushya Bwalya. My bad and my apologies to the gentleman.
Watching from Zimbabwe with the biggest smile on my face!! Big love to Zambia, our literal twin. We share so much together. I can't believe that we're actually next.
Zambia Kuchalo, I am a proud Zambian in the audience, and my surname is Phiri, "the most common surname in Zambia." I have been waiting upon this episode for years. Huge respect to you and the team!
Been waiting for this episode for well years! I went to Zambia in college and it will always be one of the best experiences of my life. I had a prof in college that went to Zambia frequently and had deeply studied Zambian traditional music. Also Tongan chicken is hands down the best chicken dish I have ever had, I can still remember the taste 20 years later. If you cross into Zambia when you go to Zimbabwe you MUST walk across the knife edge bridge and also hike down to the boiling pot at the base of Victoria falls! It's incredible. Great episode! Can't believe it's almost over been watching since 2016.
The one thing I know about Zambia is that Godfrey Chitalu in 1972 scored 109 goals in a calendar year. The nearest to it is Messi in 2012 with 91 in 2012
Barbs. This series is an incredible effort by yourself and your team. I believe I started watching around the China episode. I was in my late 20s, living in NZ (would definitely recommend. Beautiful country with great people. I now live in U.K., where I’m from), and to keep this operation going for almost 10 years deserves to be celebrated. You have educated and enriched every single viewer, whether they liked and commented or not. Looking forward to Zimbabwe episode and whatever you choose to do in the future!
I was a fan of geography now since the Botswana episode when I was in 6th grade I’m now in my 2nd year of college and the Zambia episode is finally out
Thank you talking about Zambia,It was generally well researched. There’s alot to talk about ZAMBIA, it’s very difficult to put it all in 30 mins . You gave a good overview and was well made .
One left Thank you Barbs for the past 10 years of amazing geography videos. I discovered your videos while on the toliet and have been watching them since 😂

Your Zambian host seems so lovely and kind. She seems like she would be happy and proud to show people around Zambia as long as you were respectful of them and thier culture and really seems to just have such a kind heart. It just comes through the screen. Hello to you if you read this Twambo. Your country looks beautiful. And Zambia has most of the falls, so its mostly yours 😉
Hello to Tatenda and Matthew also. The food looks yummy! I'm sorry if I miss saying hello to any other Zambian Geopeeps. I need to learn to comment after the whole video because I always miss something if I comment early
I lived several years in Zambia in the 1990-2000s. Yes, Zambians are very lovely and kind people. I really enjoyed living there and discovering their country and culture
Hi, am zambian, great piece on my homeland! Little fact check though, Kalusha Bwalya (great Kalu) is still alive, didn't die in the 1993 plane crash! Awesome piece though, loved it!
As a Zambian I am glad to hear about Zambia from a non Zambian. This means that other people also know about us like we do about the USA, UK, Japan etc.
19:32, One other fact to add....Zambia has had a white Commander of the Zambia Airforce for the first time since independence with British ancestry off course but he had to do was renounce his British ties then he joined the Airforce.
Being able to live and go to school in Kitwe for three years was such a highlight of my growing up. I love visiting still and seeing Zambia go from from strength to strength. 🇿🇲🖤
Thank you so much for all your work, I and many more have watched GN ever since the beginning, and for me it's been for more than half of my life. As we're reaching the end of this series, we want to give you a huge thank you for everything you've brought so far. Love from Sweden 🇸🇪🇸🇪
I was pretty late discovering Geography Now! - the first video I watched was the trip to Tajikistan you did which I loved and was the reason I subscribed. Have enjoyed going through the country episodes but can't believe the end of the A-Z journey is almost here!
I weirdly have connections to Zambia (even though Ive never been there) my South African dad grew up in the Copperbelt because my grandfather worked on the mines. The world is a small place
Dude, this guy's a keeper. Love you man. Congrats on the great job, I hope my kids can mention you in few years when they find your videos learning about the world. Thanks for the great job you've done. Really love you
Found Geography Now during the S countries. Went back to Afghanistan and watched the entire series from the start (getting very sad as to how much less video there was for countries like my own, Australia). Caught up to the series at the Spain episode, and have eagerly awaited and watched every subsequent episode upon release. Even though I was relatively late to the party, I cannot describe how excited I am for the Zimbabwe episode.
What an amazing journey, i started watching your videos since the Moroccan episode, to see you almost at the end it's a special feeling, well done Barbs.
Great video Barbs! But, unfortunately, there are some inaccurate portions that seemed to have made their way into the video. Below are a few that I spotted: 📌2:51 - The demarcation shown on the map between the Muchinga and Eastern Provinces is outdated. 📌 16:23 - Unfortunately, the Kwacha notes shown here are outdated by over ten years. 📌23:21 - Kalusha Bwalya did not perish in a plane crush and is still very much alive and in good health. 📌 23:38 - It is not pronounced as "Chipololopolo" or even "Shepololopolo" but rather "Chipolopolo" and "Shepolopolo", respectively (minus one "lo"; still a mouthful, I know - but it means a lot in our collective culture). 📌 25:46 - "Lobola" is not paid to the bride but rather to her family. The name is also different from one ethnic group to another, with the more common term (at least in my personal opinion) being "nsalam" or "insalam" (I stand to be corrected). These are only a few of quite a number of inconsistencies made in this video. Regardless, I personally believe that they are honest mistakes. Zambia is not a very well known country and it is very much understandable for a UA-camr of your calibre to have had errored here and there. There are no hard feelings on my end; I just felt that I should bring this to your attention. Thank you for covering my country. Good luck as you cruise on to Zimbabwe, the FINAL country! (P.S. Sorry everyone for being "that" paragraph guy. 😬) Zambia kuchalo! ❤🇿🇲
As another viewer, I think most of us like “‘that’ paragraph guy” on this channel. These sorts of corrections can provide important context and contribute to an improved video quality.
Come to Zambia 🇿🇲 as a foreigner, you will not feel lost. You are going to be given your personal space and respect too. All you need to do, is be yourself and the brotherly and sisterly love and care shall be showered all around you. God bless our country Zambia and her people. One Zambia 🇿🇲 one Nation ❤
Discovered Geography Now back in 2018 and when I realized the episodes were made in alphabetical order, I wondered if I'd ever watch the episode of my country, Zambia given all of life's uncertainties but I made it. It's been an honor
When the Afghanistan episode came out, I didn't even know what Geography Now was. I was about 6 or 7 years old, in 3rd grade. And now, nearly a decade later, here I am - 16 years old, a UA-camr, a brother, a best friend, a boyfriend, a gamer, an anime fan, a writer. Definitely gonna miss this series after the Zimbabwe episode.
I am watching this show all the way from bhutan. I was in school at that time by this episode. Now I am graduated with masters. Phew such a long journey...
I love your channel. 23:0923:19 Kalusha Bwalya is very much alive. He was playing overseas at the time and was gonna join the team from a different location, so he was not on the plane that crashed.
Such a cool episode Barbs-my great-grandfather came out to Zambia in 1947 and my grandmother was born out there as well, our family have many memories of the Copperbelt region, so it’s great to finally see this episode out!
As many have already mentioned, Kalusha Bwalya was the number one player at the time, but wasn't on the flight. The substitute team was hurriedly built around him, and they nearly made it to the World Cup in USA in 1994 (which they certainly would have qualified for, if not for the disaster). Another blooper: you gave one too many syllables in "Chipolopolo". And delighted that Zamrock was not forgotten!
OMG, I remember the days in 2015 when I began watching this channel. Can't believe its been like 9-10 years. What a journey! All the best barbs, its truly unbelievable how we have summaries about almost all the countries in the World now on this channel.
Sounds like Zambia/Zimbabwe vis a vis Mosi oa Tunya is like Canada/US vis a vis Niagara Falls. The US likes to market Niagara Falls as one of their natural wonders - I’ve seen Horsehoe Falls in American travel guides! - but we have most of the falls including Horsehoe! (I mean America you have a lot of stunning natural wonders on your own! I’ve been to your country a lot and love the scenery, you don’t need to steal ours!)
I can't believe that i'm watching this channel for 9 years since "Afghanistan", now we are 2nd to last (only Zimbabwe left), but i guess this channel will never run out of content since Barby still can talk about culture, customs, or unique architecture from many countries.
I started Watching you a year ago ,I know I'm late but better late than never ,one country left ,thank you Barbs for all the efforts you did in the last 10 years ,this series will go down on history books
As a lover of Greece I really enjoyed your video about Greece and followed your channel ever since. Its great you continued doing your thing. Sad in a way you are in the endgame. Maybe re-do every country, but then visit each.
As a Hungarian I find it so hilarious and cool yall have a version of our sausages, I wonder how they ended up all the way in Zambia. Love from Kalocsa ❤❤❤
Hungarian sausage was such a big thing growing up! Like your chicken and chips in the west! In Zambia the first and most popular option is chips (fries- preferably fresh cut) and Hungarian sausage! It’s the spice.. I haven’t had sausage like it, I also live in the U.K. and often shop at the polish/ Eastern European stores, they sell sausage similar, but nothing like the one back home!
@@misscee6629 No girl! These are literally Hungarian sausages! The taste and spices is nothing like boerewors! That’s what makes them special. I’m guessing the meat or spice is native Hungarian.. it’s soo good my mouth is watering right now 😄😄
@missqt48 Sis, honey after posting I thought, Hungarian sausage? Think, think. And then it came to me. You're right, I' used to eat them loads as a kid growing up in Zambia. I'm an adult now and left when I was very young for the UK. I'm so glad I've remembered that buried memory. I'm gonna buy me some Hungarian sausages tomorrow
I recently went on my first international trip to the horn of Africa (specifically Kenya and Tanzania), and I must say, I'm so glad I watched these episodes before I left. 🎉🎉 Barbs, you are a genius mate. Oh and I'm a South African ❤🇿🇦
i subbed to you somewhere in between 400-450 subs. i dont know how old i was but i remember you had maybe 5 episodes out. watched them all. the progress on your channel is insane. its crazy to think i have been here almost the whole time!!great job barbs
I just graduated highschool and I've been watching since 6th grade..it's been quite the ride barb. I Loved this series, thank you for uploading this. P.S. you uploaded this at 6am est for me lol
I actually can’t believe it, as a fan base we’ve literally come all this way and now it’s literally the 2nd last episode of the countries. I still can’t believe it, because I remember all those years ago when the first episode of this channel I watched was the Central African Republic.
Great job with this episode guys!!! I'm Zambian and I absolutely loved how you managed to captured so much (tip of the ice berg😅) of the beauty and culture of Zambia in such a short time really amazing.... The sports section was tragic though 🤣🤣🤣
@GeographyNow , That was an awesome video! I am sure a lot of research went into making this video seeing that you are not a Zambian Resident. Just a slight correction, Kalusha Bwalya is still alive and coached the Zambia National Football team from 2003-2006. Thanks for educating us about the Geography of the world. You deserve my like and Subscription.
Been to Zambia twice, it really is a beautiful, peaceful country. Random fact: "shoes" in Bemba language is "insapato", which sounds like the the Portuguese word for shoes "sapato" 👞
@@misscee6629 I read that Portugal interacted with Zambia in its earlier years (I don't remember what kind of interaction) so I guess there was some influence, one language borrowed from the other
@@Sammie551oppression? Are you sure? Corruption exist yes and government is fighting it. Those who became billionaires over night are in court and forfeiting assets to the state. I do not believe that is oppression.

10 years in the making. We can do this!
The last episode should be released on October 15, in honor of the first episode! And for the 10th year anniversary
Agreed 💯
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
Maybe do Oct 10 for Geography Now's first video
Really? 10 years?! I didn't realize it was so long ago.

Zambia kuchalo! ❤🇿🇲
As another viewer, I think most of us like “‘that’ paragraph guy” on this channel. These sorts of corrections can provide important context and contribute to an improved video quality.

Come to Zambia 🇿🇲 as a foreigner, you will not feel lost. You are going to be given your personal space and respect too. All you need to do, is be yourself and the brotherly and sisterly love and care shall be showered all around you. God bless our country Zambia and her people. One Zambia 🇿🇲 one Nation ❤
I have waited years for this episode. Great to see Zambia so accurately described
Discovered Geography Now back in 2018 and when I realized the episodes were made in alphabetical order, I wondered if I'd ever watch the episode of my country, Zambia given all of life's uncertainties but I made it. It's been an honor
That's so wholesome!!!
When the Afghanistan episode came out, I didn't even know what Geography Now was. I was about 6 or 7 years old, in 3rd grade. And now, nearly a decade later, here I am - 16 years old, a UA-camr, a brother, a best friend, a boyfriend, a gamer, an anime fan, a writer.
Definitely gonna miss this series after the Zimbabwe episode.
I am watching this show all the way from bhutan. I was in school at that time by this episode. Now I am graduated with masters.
Phew such a long journey...
man I remember watching you when I was 11 and I am now 19. It's been a wild ride man. I am very grateful for your youtube channel.
I've been to Zambia many times, both holiday and for work. Super friendly people there, I always enjoy visiting the country.
Shoutout to Zambia from USA. Man i cant believe we at almost at the end of Geography Now
I love your channel. 23:09 23:19 Kalusha Bwalya is very much alive. He was playing overseas at the time and was gonna join the team from a different location, so he was not on the plane that crashed.
Tell them please 😭
Well said! They need to edit out that bit of the video to correct this inaccurate detail.
Such a cool episode Barbs-my great-grandfather came out to Zambia in 1947 and my grandmother was born out there as well, our family have many memories of the Copperbelt region, so it’s great to finally see this episode out!
🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
I was born in the cooperbelt. Left when I was 6
@misscee6629 really good to hear that,visit again I have lot for you.
As many have already mentioned, Kalusha Bwalya was the number one player at the time, but wasn't on the flight. The substitute team was hurriedly built around him, and they nearly made it to the World Cup in USA in 1994 (which they certainly would have qualified for, if not for the disaster). Another blooper: you gave one too many syllables in "Chipolopolo". And delighted that Zamrock was not forgotten!
OMG, I remember the days in 2015 when I began watching this channel. Can't believe its been like 9-10 years. What a journey! All the best barbs, its truly unbelievable how we have summaries about almost all the countries in the World now on this channel.
1 COUNTRY LEFT.. CAN'T BELIEVE IT, BRO! YOU CAME A LOOOONG WAY ❤
Glad you’ve been a part of it Gussy boy ❤
@gus1thego, nice to see you here. And still going ❤
@@GeographyNowWe all have. 😌
@@GeographyNow Even though you prob won't reply, i might as well ask: What was your favourite country video to make?
Love Zambia
🇸🇪❤🇿🇲
Thanks 😊
I love your nation as well.
Sounds like Zambia/Zimbabwe vis a vis Mosi oa Tunya is like Canada/US vis a vis Niagara Falls. The US likes to market Niagara Falls as one of their natural wonders - I’ve seen Horsehoe Falls in American travel guides! - but we have most of the falls including Horsehoe! (I mean America you have a lot of stunning natural wonders on your own! I’ve been to your country a lot and love the scenery, you don’t need to steal ours!)
I can't believe that i'm watching this channel for 9 years since "Afghanistan", now we are 2nd to last (only Zimbabwe left), but i guess this channel will never run out of content since Barby still can talk about culture, customs, or unique architecture from many countries.
I started Watching you a year ago ,I know I'm late but better late than never ,one country left ,thank you Barbs for all the efforts you did in the last 10 years ,this series will go down on history books
As a lover of Greece I really enjoyed your video about Greece and followed your channel ever since. Its great you continued doing your thing. Sad in a way you are in the endgame. Maybe re-do every country, but then visit each.
South African here - We also have Maheu/Mageu 😊 Always happy to learn about all the similarities in the Southern African regions!
As a Hungarian I find it so hilarious and cool yall have a version of our sausages, I wonder how they ended up all the way in Zambia. Love from Kalocsa ❤❤❤
Hungarian sausage was such a big thing growing up! Like your chicken and chips in the west! In Zambia the first and most popular option is chips (fries- preferably fresh cut) and Hungarian sausage! It’s the spice.. I haven’t had sausage like it, I also live in the U.K. and often shop at the polish/ Eastern European stores, they sell sausage similar, but nothing like the one back home!
Boerewors?
@@misscee6629 No girl! These are literally Hungarian sausages! The taste and spices is nothing like boerewors! That’s what makes them special. I’m guessing the meat or spice is native Hungarian.. it’s soo good my mouth is watering right now 😄😄
@missqt48 Sis, honey after posting I thought, Hungarian sausage? Think, think. And then it came to me. You're right, I' used to eat them loads as a kid growing up in Zambia. I'm an adult now and left when I was very young for the UK. I'm so glad I've remembered that buried memory. I'm gonna buy me some Hungarian sausages tomorrow
And those are the favorite imagine 😂
I recently went on my first international trip to the horn of Africa (specifically Kenya and Tanzania), and I must say, I'm so glad I watched these episodes before I left. 🎉🎉 Barbs, you are a genius mate.
Oh and I'm a South African ❤🇿🇦
I've been waiting for years for this. Dutch Zambian here!😄Kinda feels surreal haha!
That’s so cool! Glad you like it!
It feels so unreal that we’re reaching the end! It’s been a pleasure watching Geography Now throughout the years! Thank you. 🙏🏽
I’ve literally waited years for this. Thanx for finally dropping my 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🥰🥰🥰
Hey Congratulations, Barbs, I have been watching your content since the Bhutan Episode, Love your Content, More Power to you
You are a legend man. I can't believe it will be the last episode. Love from Turkey
i subbed to you somewhere in between 400-450 subs. i dont know how old i was but i remember you had maybe 5 episodes out. watched them all. the progress on your channel is insane. its crazy to think i have been here almost the whole time!!great job barbs
Congratulations, you did it!,Barbs,I've enjoyed your videos over the years.
I just graduated highschool and I've been watching since 6th grade..it's been quite the ride barb. I Loved this series, thank you for uploading this.
P.S. you uploaded this at 6am est for me lol
I actually can’t believe it, as a fan base we’ve literally come all this way and now it’s literally the 2nd last episode of the countries.
I still can’t believe it, because I remember all those years ago when the first episode of this channel I watched was the Central African Republic.
My first episode was Limberwisk, wasn’t even a real country 😂
@@allison122477 ah yes the April fools vids.
Never gets old!
@@moalzaben5554 mhm
Great job with this episode guys!!! I'm Zambian and I absolutely loved how you managed to captured so much (tip of the ice berg😅) of the beauty and culture of Zambia in such a short time really amazing.... The sports section was tragic though 🤣🤣🤣
Mucho amor from Mexico! It's awesome seeing how far this series has come.
One....left
I'm ready for Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Bougainville soon
Yeah.......
@@RegnumHungariae what
@@IamDamagehaha Zimbabwe
@@Wertycloud77_YT bougainville is an autonomous region in png that are set to be in independent around 2027
Damn, it is crazy seeing it so close to covering all countries, i have been watching the show for years and i am glad for your content
There’s charcoal sold on Zambias highways by passing villages. People never steal it. It’s right at the roadside, even at night. Nobody steals😂😂
And if you get a bag and leave some money for it
You will find the extra change has been strangely somehow been returned to you
Indeed
I can't wait for the series finale of Geography Now! ZIMBABWE coming in October. I will be one of the first ones to see! You're the man!
@GeographyNow , That was an awesome video!
I am sure a lot of research went into making this video seeing that you are not a Zambian Resident.
Just a slight correction, Kalusha Bwalya is still alive and coached the Zambia National Football team from 2003-2006.
Thanks for educating us about the Geography of the world.
You deserve my like and Subscription.
Been to Zambia twice, it really is a beautiful, peaceful country. Random fact: "shoes" in Bemba language is "insapato", which sounds like the the Portuguese word for shoes "sapato" 👞
I noticed this when I was in Spain. How so?
@@misscee6629 I read that Portugal interacted with Zambia in its earlier years (I don't remember what kind of interaction) so I guess there was some influence, one language borrowed from the other
Crime levels are low but oppression is high, so I don't think you understand peaceful
@@Sammie551oppression? Are you sure? Corruption exist yes and government is fighting it. Those who became billionaires over night are in court and forfeiting assets to the state. I do not believe that is oppression.
I'm Zambian. You've convinced me to learn Portuguese 😄
Kalusha Bwalya is still alive. Kalusha and Johnson Bwalya, Charles Musonda, Gibby Mbasela and Kenneth Malitoli did not travel on that plane
Kalusha Bwalya (Kalu) is very much alive and was once coach of Za.mbia National Team.
1 more episode, i’m so excited to watch this, thank you so much for making these videos 👏👏👏
Amazing video like always Barbs! I can’t wait for the finale of this amazing series after all these years!
This was a great episode. You did your research. Plus, you say Zambia with a Zambian accent 😃
Many thanks from Zambia!!
