    Of course the minister of tourism will speak in favour of people staying in mud houses, while its a good idea to preserve history , people who can afford a better house shouldnt have to be stuck, thats simply not fair. i bet the minister lives in a fancy non-mud house.

      lets uh... not contradict mud housing with ‘good housing’.

      Living in the past in order to attract foreigners (tourists), that is bad. Its time people in around the area are allowed to build up and upgrade to concrete structures. We Africans should not be made a pinnacle of tourist attraction.

      They don’t have the money anyways. Its not like the people are rich but are forced to live in mud. They don’t have a choice.

      Ridiculous. European understand metal working and masonry since ancient time. Why would we use mud? And islam are clearly eastern things.

      @@MrSir-zd4bu Christianity is also Eastern in origin, having been founded in the Levant by Jews who branched away from traditional Judaism. Besides, Islam DID spread to parts of Europe, most famously Iberia, meaning that something can be European and Islamic at the same time. Of course, the Mosque of Djenne isn't one of them.

      @@MrSir-zd4bu Hope you are joking, right? African architecture is the oldest of the world. Do you know the real history of the World? Hagia Sophia was built in 6th Century and by that time, African already had more than 26 000 years of civilization.... hello!!! The "White" civilization started around 2800 years ago when the Kemite Pharaohs (ancient Egypt) lost power.
