I really appreciate how you position every country as one with inherent worth and value, so unlike reading about other places in the news where they are often portrayed in the worst light possible. I'm proud to be human -- this is a real gem of a planet.
This was fun to watch. Great information! 👍 My parents are from Bissau. I was born in Portugal but never been to Africa. I wud love to go to Guiné Bissau some day. ♥
As a guinean from Guiné-Bissau I would recommend some pronounciation classes 😅😅 but jokes aside, I just want to congratulate everone involved for the amazing job and for having done your homework correctly. I'm glad my country was truthfully represented. Thank you very much. Blessings
CARROT CAKE CREAM PIE!! And Guess which guest stars are now married? Find out! Guinea's passionate Portuguese speaking twin sister is here! Enjoy this episode! #GuineaBissau Also forgot to tell you all, GN now has a snapchat! Follow at "GeoNowBarby "
You mention ECOWAS by name and show their symbol, but didn't name the CPLP (Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries) nor shown the symbol. You also didn't name the most famous football player from Guinea Bissau, Eder, who scored the winning goal for Portugal in the Euro final last year against France.
Hi, I'm not anyones Portuguese brother, but I just came back from visiting my family in Brasil. O Brasil é muito lindo. Infelizmente, eu falo português mal.
Barby I love how you take the time to mention the Pre-colonial history of these African nations. Just showing some appreciation, keep up the good work!

A Guiné-Bissau, oficialmente a República da Guiné-Bissau, é um país da África Ocidental que cobre 36.125 quilômetros quadrados (13.948 milhas quadradas) com uma população estimada em 1.604.528. Faz fronteira com o Senegal ao norte e a Guiné ao sudeste.
As a Guinean I would say most of the video is pretty accurate. The Portuguese was terrible but I definitely appreciate the effort. Also want to point out that the country as developed immensely over the last 5 years with new hotels, restaurants and government infrastructure. America has been investing a lot in the country as well. Thanks for highlighting my country we rarely get any attention so I truly appreciate this. Best,
This is really weird timing! I'm in the middle of transcribing an interview and Guinea Bissau was mentioned and I thought "huh, I don't know anything about there", took a break, went on youtube and this video had just been uploaded! Thank you!
so uma correção a minha amada pátria Guiné-Bissau não é um país muçulmano mais sim laico onde tudos são livres de praticar a sua religião e a única parte do país onde encontrarás uma mistura de todos os grupos étnicos vivendo basicamente juntos é a capital Bissau E as oito região que compõe a Guiné-Bissau cada região tem o seu grupo étnico tendo como a capital da região onde podes encontrar alguns pertencentes de outras etnias na qual o foram ali por questão de negócios mas não são dali o que implica que sempre voltam para a sua cidade de origem. Concluo que o único lugar é que encontrará a religião muçulmana em abundância é a província leste( região de Gabu e Bafata) e algumas zonas no sul do país tornando assim a província norte( região de Biombo, Cacheu e Oio)e província sul(Bolama Tombali, Quinara) são regiões meramente animista tendo os seus régulos e seguem as normas das suas etnias
those islands are unique, in many terms. especially in terms of african countries and their territory/geography. owning an archipelago, sized about 15% of your landmass, is quite rare for a guinea-bissau sized nation...! greetings from finland! (we also have an archipelago, though much smaller.. :)
1:41 Fun fact: the island has the same name as my city and province in Argentina! (Formosa). And it was also the old name for Taiwan, which has an antipode with Formosa province in Argentina!
Fulanis are the "Jews" of West Africa. You will find them in almost all West African countries. They used to be nomadic merchants. They played a major role in the spread of Islam in West Africa
No, they were even strong enough to take control of several part of West Africa during "Fulani Jihads" at the beginning of the 19th century. ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fula_jihads#Fulani_jihad_states )
Thank you for telling me coolly about the country where I spent my youth. From 1977 to 1987, I visited this country four times and spent about four years there in total.
"Just be honest you really don't know anything about this place." Me, who studies African history, especially of former Portuguese colonies: "That's where you're wrong kiddo"
Please do more research before publishing picture or videos about Guinea Bissau. The couties look nothing like that in about 5 years ago, specially the bombing palace. That was like in 1997, we are in 2017.
Guinea-Bissau shares a history of liberation against the Portuguese with Cabo Verde. Amilcar Cabral is a national heroe in both countries. In Cabo Verde he made ways for the Creole language to gain recognition in the goverment. he was a warrior and a scholar. There is also a statue to Amilcar Cabral in Cabo Verde.
That presidential palace was renovated back in 2013-2014 and is now inhabited. The Fulani of GB are generally "black" fulani (integrated/remnants of enslaved tribes) and also don't follow the customs you mention at 7:10.
I'm a new subscriber and i find your channel really interesting and easy to watch, and I can't help but notice that you didn't do a video on Romania yet. I would like to hear your perspective and how you'd portray it. Good luck :D
Guinea-Bissau, officially the Republic of Guinea-Bissau (Portuguese: República da Guiné-Bissau), is a sovereign state in West Africa. It covers 36,125 square kilometres (13,948 sq mi) with an estimated population of 1,815,698. Guinea-Bissau was once part of the kingdom of Gabu, as well as part of the Mali Empire. Parts of this kingdom persisted until the 18th century, while a few others were under some rule by the Portuguese Empire since the 16th century. In the 19th century, it was colonized as Portuguese Guinea. Upon independence, declared in 1973 and recognised in 1974, the name of its capital, Bissau, was added to the country's name to prevent confusion with Guinea (formerly French Guinea). Guinea-Bissau has a history of political instability since independence, and no elected president has successfully served a full five-year term. Only 14% of the population speaks non-creolized Portuguese, established as both the official and national language. Portuguese exists in creole continuum with Crioulo, a Portuguese creole spoken by half the population (44%) and an even larger number speaks it as second tongue; the remainder speak a variety of native African languages. The country's per-capita gross domestic product is one of the lowest in the world. Guinea-Bissau is a member of the United Nations, African Union, Economic Community of West African States, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, Community of Portuguese Language Countries, La Francophonie and the South Atlantic Peace and Cooperation Zone, and was a member of the now-defunct Latin Union.
Geography Fan Mail Time (even though this message is not on paper just still read this in the video): Hey Barby, I'm a 14 Year Old Boy and I'm from Australia and I can't wait for the Senegal episode and I really hope it's good the only stuff I know about Senegal is that the capital Dakar is on a peninsula and the country speaks French and the north of Senegal is a desert but the south is a savanna and the east is a forest. Have a good day Barby :)
