If my maths is correct, he has done 46 countries so far, having started with Afghanistan 551 days ago. This would mean the rate of release is 0.07622504537 countries per day, or 1 country every 13.119047619 days. There are 196 total countries, and 150 countries left to do. At the current rate of release, he will be finished in 1967.85714285 days, which is equal to 5.391781 years. Thus, this this series will be finished (assuming no new countries form before the end) on Friday, 10 September 2021.

2 Congo episodes in a row? I guess you could call a Congo Line!

I'll see myself out...

I'm congolese and that's the first time listening a non Congolese talking about the age system "ya-ya" . Really impressed. Good work

I would've never learnt about these often ignored countries in Subsaharan Africa with such fascinating back stories if it wasn't for you, Barby. I'll admit, aside from a few like Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa, I do fall into the trap of thinking of all of Subsaharan Africa as this rolling jungle or Savannah full of mud huts, civil war, lions and Ebola. I'm glad you're helping me change and seeing this diverse continent for what it is

Well, here's the DRC's richer, soviet influenced twin brother. Enjoy

Should be asleep right now but I LOVE GEOGRAPHY TOO MUCH!

[ardy.m]

Well explained about my country. I love my country🇨🇬❤️. Yeah! We got dinosaur burgers that everyone should try😎✌🏾

[DanTheCaptain]

Seriously Paul! These videos are getting better and better by the episode!

[minei]

Matondo/Thank you 😄🙏

As someone with roots in this country, I can tell that this video is clear and pretty accurate! Well done! 😁👍🇨🇬

This part about the respect of elders is so true. This aspect of our culture is maintained even in the diaspora 😁

Regarding the ethnography of the country, It's worth noting that few bantu speaking ethnic groups don't fall into the three main groups mentioned here (the percentage is a little bit different).

Now I'm up to date and have to wait for each new video to come out. I have binge watched these like five a day for the last few weeks and it was glorious.

That asian chick with the bazooka you flicked up whilst mentioning the Vietnam War was actually Fusako Shigenobu, founder and leader of the Japanese Red Army. She's actually still alive, and is quite a character with a rather storied biography - but not really related to the Vietnam War, save for being a communist (she was in the middle east at the time, and for 30 years thereafter).

[goodman]

I wonder how many new countries will pop up until you get to Zimbabwe.

Great show, loving your (and your contributor(s)) work Barby!
