03.02 bigger picture africa

Hi, miss soko. Jane. This is my three paper this is my, oh not one. Sorry. This is my 3.2 if I'm not mistaken. My 3.2 on my 3.4 bigger picture bigger picture Africa because I believe is 3.2. So let me tell you about my trip. When I first placed I visited on my trip was Ethiopia. The political standpoint or standard, you know, how they have it there, the politics of Ethiopia takes place in a framework of a federal parliament. It's as well that parliament is republic. We're in the prime minister that is the head of the government. They have a president. He's the head of the state, but with large ceremonial powers. Executive power is exercised by the prime minister, the federal legacy power. Done by the by the government and the two chambers of parliament. On the basis, all my life. And that's really all I could find so far. Oh yeah, economic. The economics, Ethiopia actually I searched this up here to help me kind of get more of an understand point. So this will quote this year. According to IMF, Ethiopia was one of the fastest growing economics in the world. Which is to me crazy. From back. And that's only from 2004 to 2009. I mean, it's kind of long ago, but it's not that long ago. And one of the fascist growing. One of the main sports is track and field, you know, many athletes have won Olympic gold medals in track and field. They also play football. Most of them in football I'm pretty sure that's UK football, which is soccer. They usually most people athletes that are due long distance running. But a bee baca. Became the first athlete from the sub Saharan country to win an Olympic gold medal. He won the marathon after the 1960s Rome Olympic Games and had the world record time of two hours, 15 minutes and 16 seconds. Let's see the second place on my trip. Well yeah, the kingdom of Congo. Came over this is political social. I got out of order. The vada village referred to in libido in Congo documents and by the Portuguese is a 16th century in the 16th century. Served as the Congo basics social unit after the family. The one, the one to 200 citizens, per village migrated about every ten years to accommodate soil exhaustion. Which will happen after you have so many people obviously know your T-shirt. But when you have, I don't know how big their craft deals were, but when you have questions like that and you have two people and you're constantly using them to get more and more and more, you're going to get dry and it's going to be exhausted and then you assume you end up growing plants that won't produce as much food or if they do they're not going to be as big or fruit vegetable stuff like that. But usually yeah, every ten years they would move so they can get new soil so they can grow food so they people don't starve and they don't have rapidly declining population. The central bathroom groups which compromise with the kingdom passed on status through that's a big word. Women in the groups of the kingdom at various times were provinces in the Congo kingdom. Could have important roles in rulership and war. And I hear I found this as well. This is a really good example. Queen nasir or Najib, who ruled parts of the kingdom in nagano and matamba provinces in the 17th century was an effective ruler and war leader. In fact, she became a thumb thorn in the side of the Portuguese to the degree that their correspondent at the time was mainly about how to foil her. Which. Amazing ruler. Economical. Oh, that was just political was Google and everything. I give you social essential group and everything that was political and society. Here I economical. Province of governors paid a portion of the tax returns to the promises to the king. Dutch visitors to the Congo in the 1640s reported that income as 20 million shows in addition, The Crown collected its own special tax as levees, including tolls on the subterranean trade, passed through the kingdom, especially the lucrative cloth, trade that began the great cloth producing region of the 7 kingdoms of the Congo, a Diaz, Congo died. Not sure these are really hard names pronounced. The eastern reasons called mo boys or the 7 and kingo and the coast, especially the Portuguese Kong Connie of the London. And my last one, the last place I went, I believe was, oh yeah. The map of tuber kingdom on my Tupac kingdom. The political and administration religions head of the kingdom. So it was more religious and people higher up, you know, that was one of the political viewers religionist. He wore or carried like a badge of an office. You know, like a hoe or an axe. And a spear made of gold or ivory or I mean, and irony. Kings lived in an enclosed compound that with separate buildings, one for the queen, and another group, and one for royal tendons. The latter group to be consisted of meals under 20 years of age. For who came up from families of this subjugated trial chiefs, tribal chiefs. And whose presence guaranteed compliance with the rule, when these young males were of age to become warriors, they were sent home and given parcels or of land, their own region to govern. Basically to ensure that, hey, we're still good, you know, this ensures that the futurity. So whenever they become own up, you become soldiers, they get their own land, to ensure that they'll stay low to the king and won't try to rebel or try to assess and kill the king. Now political although I was political. I mean economically, I believe this is definitely economic one. So I just like to press everywhere. Yeah, I believe, yeah. This is also, I believe. To me, the only thing I could really find was that social wise was really through religion, other than that there was not really much social that was there, and even there was very scarce information on religion. But the emperor had left the empire with a well organized religion and a powerful priesthood. Religion, revolves around ritual consultants and spirits and royal ancestors shrines. Were maintained within the capital spirits, mediums known as I can't say their name. The maroon to serve it as an oral historian basically recording names and deeds of the kings before and on and on. So basically like kind of like a checklist guy reading off checklists of old kings and telling them stories. Now economical, the map of king like the chinook kingdoms had an argument economic at its core. Mining operations have been what made the chinook king and famous among the explorers and traders. But mining was always considered a secondary activity the mining of gold was heavily controlled by the king and gold was retrained for silk, ceramics and other exotic items. They also traded items like livestock, including strong soaring, millet, ground beans, cowpeas, bananas from and the bananas as well. And that is all on my trip. Thank you for watching.
