2 Congo episodes in a row? I guess you could call this..... a Congo Line!
I'll see myself out...
No, you Congo on with the puns.
Kek
…
😂😂😂
Did you forget he did the CGP GREY parady, geoappreciation, and Geography Go episodes too?
you win this round red part of the flag
Miguel Lopes you could actually argue that the red stands for the blood of the people since the flag used pan-African colours

Yep
@@villager8154 hm
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.
Great math! Of course, like you said, if no new countries pop up before then. Also, that is just the average times between the uploads, and he could get faster or slower with the uploads. I don't know. It's cool how you did all the math, though, and with an exact ending date, too!
I just did the math and it'll end early 2022. So I guess his rate of production has slowed down a little 😔
You're amazing. Nonetheless, I will still wait for my country's episode, The Philippines.
Agreed.
9/11?
This channel is like a drug.. Been watching for almost 12 hours straight
Does he actually have that much content
Yeah
I just finished 2 episodes lol. On towards Costa Rica!

That's too early mate!

+Hassan Ghannam jeez i feel old.... i garduated in 2010...
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
Morocco is pretty rich too
Jarvis Shroff
Morocco is North Africa though. I have a very clear image of North Africa and the diversity of Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia and such, and so do a lot of people because North Africa has always been closer to Europe than Subsaharan Africa. Subsaharan Africa has been the area that's always pictured monolithically
Vectored Thrust oh
Vectored Thrust kudos to you!!!! I'm Congolese and Nigerian. Lol I celebrate you
@@vectoredthrust5214 but it's still in Africa. And northern African are a mix of west Asians sub Saharan and European. A mix that's been going on for thousands of years. And it's countries in sub Saharan Africa that are richer and gdp is higher
Should be asleep right now but I LOVE GEOGRAPHY TOO MUCH!
Same here
Likewise. Sometimes fellow commuters on the bus or co-workers ask me why is geography still relevant? With GPS, the internet and Google Earth, why learn it? I ask them "Can you locate and identify so-and-so-country on a map with out web searching? Or at the very least what continent it is on?" Half can do both; the other half can not. Greetings from Austin, Texas!
+randomlaughable I completely agree! Hello from Indiana ❤
I only like the country bit of geography, including gdp, currency, political parties etc.
Same
I'm congolese and that's the first time listening a non Congolese talking about the age system "ya-ya" . Really impressed. Good work
Well explained about my country. I love my country🇨🇬❤️. Yeah! We got dinosaur burgers that everyone should try😎✌🏾
It's going to be werid when a new country is born…
+Luke P Yeah. Sealand!
Not really
+Adrian Elimian For the show, if the country is ahead of where they are in alphabetical ranking, it's just added to the list. For one before (like if it started with B) they would stop the order and move back so they could cover it.
In case you wanted to know :)
+Aron puma That's what I meant it's; not really weird
+Luke P It's a good thing that the most recent recognized new country, South Sudan, is still far down the list.
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).
B.K. Laughton I was about to mention that, pisses me off when they use false images or info.
It's actually 五十岚泉 Izumi Igarashi from a movie scene. NO ONE would go to war in student dresses
@@cochan7347 I was already looking 4 or 5 times: "Wait what? Is she wearing a housewive's dress?! No wait, what's with that tie? Why is she wearing a belt of bullets and no gun to fire them with? Why does she have an unloaded bazooka and seemingly no ammo for it? I-Is she wearing make up as well? This is from a movie, calling it!"
Called it.
@@cochan7347True thanks for mentioning that !!
Interesting
When you JUST realize that Barbie is wearing shirts in his episodes that match some part of the country's flag colours he's talking about....
+Tanner Holy shhhhhhhhhh...ooting star! It's true! I hadn't realized that. Much plot twist!
Miguel Casanova very clever on his part
BARBIE?
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).
Upcoming countries:
- Costa Rica
- Croatia
- Cuba
- Cyprus
- Czechia (Czech Republic)
Before you correct me, Côte d'Ivore is going to be called Ivory Coast. (At least that's what Barby said.)
why :( I'm from Côte d'Ivoire and I have been patiently waiting for my country..
Sorry, man... But I don't make up the order...
+Corinne Nandre The list is done in the countries English name.
Seriously Paul! These videos are getting better and better by the episode!
Well, here's the DRC's richer, soviet influenced twin brother. Enjoy

+Geography Now Loving the series; keep up the good work? Ever considered making some episodes to take a closer look not at specific countries but at other facets of geography, like cartography and topography?

LOL
remember that one time when you said this isnt HISTORY now its Geography now? well the parts i find most interesting of your videos are the history parts, so are you ever planning to do a history now? if not im sure theres SOMEONE *cough* *cough* me *cough* who'd love to take a shot at it. hope you reply to this...
If you make a History Now channel, I will be your first subscriber
Guy Bental isnt john green and crash course basically history now?
A
Have you done it yet or nah ?
The youtube channel "Mr. History" may be towards your liking, like Barby, he is doing all of the current countries of the world in alphabetical order.
I CAN'T UNSEE THE RABIT!!!
10:37 its funny cause im Ivorian🇨🇮 and Congolese🇨🇬
Your congolese side is from which Congo ? Kinshasa or Brazzaville?
I don't know why people say "Congolese" they should say "Conganese" or "Congan"
Nooooo! 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.
I wonder how many new countries will pop up until you get to Zimbabwe.
Great show, loving your (and your contributor(s)) work Barby!
I just randomly found this channel in the recommended. I'm glad I did. It's always great to find geography shows for my kids. I'll be using these in my homeschool when we talk about various countries. Thank you so much :)
You are getting better and better with each episode. This show is very informative...Good luck for wonderful job.
I am from Congo Brazzaville, I approve your video, you did a great work!
Love to Congo 🇨🇬 from Belgium 🇧🇪
Beto pe, beto zola ngué (we love you guys too in Congolese)
I've been wondered for long time about difference between these two Congos.
This made it clear. Thx so much

We didn’t learn anything about Africa in high school I really appreciate everything you’re doing teaching about these amazing countries
Dude you nailed it !!!! couldn't be more accurate, that's so valuable man ! keep up the good work
I've been waiting anxiously for this video. Thank you!
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssss, finally, my country
I´ve been waiting two Congos for this. Literally
Just became a patreon! Keep up the good work! Cheers from Denmark
You are very informative and you are my favorite CZcams channel of all time, awesome videos
Great job!! You make geography so much more fun👍👍
Love these videos. So educational and entertaining.
When you finish Zimbabwe are you going to be history now?
I believe he'll remake the videos to give them an update
I have to say, you are one of my favorite channels out there.
I really like the video, just one thing, we write Pointe Noire no Pointe Noir, because Pointe is a femenin word in french =D
Just subscribed but my son has been watching you for some time. He is a geography guru at 11. Haha! Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for doing what you do! He loves watching your videos and learns so much from them!
Hes now 17...
@@prathamshrivastava1314 he’s actually 18 now, finishing high school soon and still into geography. 😊 Time flies.
This part is missing in your dissertation
French Equatorial Africa (French: Afrique équatoriale française), or the AEF, was the federation of French colonial possessions in Central Africa, extending northwards from the Congo River to the Sahara, and comprising what are today the countries of Chad, the Central African Republic, Cameroon, the Republic of the Congo, and Gabon with brazzaville as capital
My love for geography began when I used to look at maps all day. Memorized every country and capital and tried to absorb as much info as possible from my geography book. Since then I can name most countries but struggle to remember the details. This channel has revived my lost love for geography and has taught me more than I've ever imagined I could. Thank you Paul, keep up the great work! Very pleased with the direction of this channel, you've outdone yourself!
I began loving geography on the same way glad im nit the only one
I fricken love this channel so funny plus informative not to mention brutally honest at times😁

As Captain America would say:'' I got that reference.''
Je n’utilise que très rarement le côté francophone de youtube, mais je suis carrément sûr qu’on parle bien d’une « chaîne » et pas d’un canal.
+robsab20 Non c'est un canal. Mais juste pour vérifier à quelle moment de la vidéo tu parles ?
+Cosmo Aero V2 Non, non, il a raison. Dans le cas de la télévision ou de CZcams, "channel" se traduit bien par "chaîne" et non "canal". Et il parle de la partie où il illustre le fait que les Congolais parlent le français. Il y a une illustration où une Congolaise dit: "Abonne-toi à mon canal".
Signé: un vrai francophone.
+Cosmo Aero V2 6:42
indecentanalyst AH ok j'ai cru qu'il parlait d'un canal comme le canal de Suez. Mon erreur alors.
Désolé d’avoir été si vague, mais oui, c’était bien ça dont j’ai parlé !
Great job man! Keep doing it!
I am doing a project on the Congo river and am citing these two videos. Thanks Barbs

Love your videos man, Keep up the good work!!
I want to say to you YOU Barby, that YOU are one of the best people on CZcams so far. YOU have Geography fun, and yet I still know what everything is! Keep up the epic work, and stay AWESOME! ;3
When you get around to doing the uk I would suggest doing each country separately, England Scotland and Wales all have very interesting geography which is definitely worth its own video!
Dope dude I lived here and Cameroon for two years. Cool places. Learned so much from this vid
Thank you for making geography awesome
I think that Congo's best friend is Gabon. All my Congolese (Brazza) friends would associate themselves with Gabon rather than the DRC.
+Charles Rivet I agree.
Charles Rivet very true....
Yess I’m actually both Congolese and gabonaise
Wow! It's a weird feeling to see my birth country finally being featured! You're so knowledgeable!
Although, I'd say there are a few inaccuracies here and there. The main one that, as of late, Congo Kinshasa is far from being our best friend. We've had a love/hate relationship for as far as I can remember. And things went a little sour a couple years ago, when Congo Brazzaville had a massive operation to expulse illegals immigrants from the other Congo (after giving them a period of time where they could leave voluntarily), the are/were a lot of them in Congo. Most of which trying to make a decent living, but a lot also involved in all sorts of illegal traffics. And I guess our government, too lazy to just hunt the bad apples down; and also as a way to distract the population from their incompetence with other issues opted for that instead. But all in all, both countries are on pretty decent terms, just not "best friends" level lol.
Yes! New video! Thank you so much!
Love these videos, always happy when a new one comes out
Same here !!!
Sassou was president from 1979 to 1992. He lost the first multiparty elections in 1992. He came back in 1997 helped by Angola and put an end to the civil war. He was re-elected last month (32 years of power)
very interesting but the DRC is not 14 time bigger than the rc the different is about seven time bigger or less. and he forget to mentioned angola.all three countries were part of the Kongo kingdom
And gabon
Well. If anyone was wondering The Congo-Ocean Railways. The Picture seen around 2:34 (also that face tho) The Locomotive is a EMD GT26CW
Aww, I like the way you did the Friend Zone back in the beginning, with the hands coming together in the midst of that shining light.
There’s actually a third Congo portugese Congo now this is actually the tiny exclave of Angola
Actually, what's interesting is that most of the terrirory of the Kingdom of the Kongo, including its capital, Mbanza-Kongo, was located inside the borders of modern day Angola, and in the 1860, the King of Kongo turned into a vassal of the Portuguese king, but then the Portuguese monarchy colapsed, got subsituted by a Republic and then because of the revolt by the Kingdom of the Kongo, it was abolished by the Portuguese Republic in around 1912, and directly anexed to the rest of Angola. Today, Mbanza Kongo still stands, but its much smaller the todays capital of Angola, Luanda.
wonderful channel just found it in my recommended
I love this channel sooooo much!
Now that you know it had a comunist past, you can figure out what the red color stand for.
It's really just the Pan-African colours.
