Resistance and Liberation - History Of Africa with Zeinab Badawi [Episode 20]

"You cannot enslave a mind that knows itself, that values itself, that understands itself." Wangari Mathai

I’m calling my fellow African to wake up , to free our mind , to stand up firm , to work together in order to promote peace and take our continent forward

Kwame Nkrumah " we prefer independence with danger, than colonialism with servitude"

Please Ethiopians.... Remember you are the only country in Africa that was not colonised.... Please be united and let love prevail. Much love from Kenya 🇰🇪. 💕

Sayid Mohamed Abdullah Hassan of Somalia was a resistance leader of the Dervish State who fought a 20 year war against the British Empire and Italian Empire, the longest anti colonial resistance war in african history

You just gotta love how no matter how good or eloquent your English is....you get subtitles and no matter how thick and heavy the presenter's British accent is, they don't get translated. (so it's not about how good you learnt their language, they have to remind you that its THEIR language.) And they do this everywhere...even in a documentary about colonialism. Colonialism still lives...its in the big acts and the little ones as well.

Zeinab, I'd like to thank you for this tremendous effort of bringing such important history, lessons, and inspiration to the many. From the first episode to this last one, it has been an amazing opportunity to learn even more about the African continent and its brilliant and diverse history. Many of the episodes I have enjoyed; the ones on the Nile, the different empires and kingdoms, religion, peoples, cultural artefacts, and so on. Yet of all the episodes, I myself as a European have felt deeply embarrassed and truly sad by the atrocities committed by the people from my own continent and even own country. It's a subject that has been on my mind for many years and while it is difficult to know exactly what to say when not being able to truly understand, for myself and for my fellow Europeans I believe that one of the best things we can do is to listen, learn, and be humble. Having said that, I'd like to recommend a book that will follow up on where this episode ends called "Africa's Long Road Since Independence: The Many Histories of a Continent". To Zeinab and the entire team behind the series; a genuine and heartfelt thank you.

I normally don’t trust The BBC but I appreciate this coming from them!

Supporting dictatorship and impose sanctions against the people is not any different from colonialism.. thank you Zainab for All the effort 💞 and the mixed feeling I get 💞 you're One of my role models, Love from your home country Sudan 🇸🇩💞💞

I am african american, thanks for educating me on the history of my People the african

Growing up in the Caribbean and North America I learned next to nothing about African history and cultures. I was basically thought not to like Africa because it had no value, but thanks to programs like this I have found a new love and appreciation for Africa. I am eager to visit the land of my ancestor and the birth place of humanity. Long live Africa and Africans!

Africa is a blessed land, very fruitful. I love Africa. Time for our unification and cultivate our land for bumper harvest. Learnt so much. Labone Senior High School, Accra - Ghana.

As an African American woman whose ancestors survived much oppression and trauma here in the US, I am so impressed by those who fought against colonialist oppression in Africa in spite of the cost to their families! May the rest in peace! The inhumanity, oppression, and abuse has always been so hard for me to comprehend! It is my hope to return to visit with my homeland so soon! Thank you for this history and insight, Zeinab and those who put these together! We were so well informed by them!

Thanks Zainab for these very critical African liberation documentaries.We appreciate you very much.We hope and pray that Africa will one day be fully economically and politically independent.

Thank you Zeinab, Unesco and BBC for this opportunity to learn more about África and African people than I've learned my hole life. For Brazilians it's fundamental to understand one of our great heritages. It would be of most importance to have this serie legends, and even translation, in Portuguese so that common people in Brazil would be able to understand it. I wish I could show it to my students.

Hello I am Yvonne Dunbar Hogan from East Orange NJ. I so welcome your sharing these of these historic events. I have a better understanding of what suffering Africans went through. I have been learning much during this pandemic. Thank you so much. Africans please continue to unite and help one-another!

I'm dearly proud of this channel and those who work hard to make it as excellent and exciting as it is.. May God continue to bless us all. Peace to us all

We owe Europe nothing. Stop paying back those loans. Reparations or no trade.
