lol

@@WhiteMansaM It’s a serious point not a pious hope. Plenty of African countries have civil wars etc but they do not claim the territory of other countries or invade each other. Now contrast that with China and Russia…

​@@jontalbot1 I don't doubt that Africa's economic situation will continue to improve in absolute terms in the long run, as it has everywhere over the past few decades, thanks largely to technological spillovers from countries at the frontier (mainly Western countries, plus, in more recent years, East Asia). Perhaps in a few decades, deep poverty will be unknown, and life expectancy will only be a few years behind the West. Life is apt to improve in some meaningful sense for Africans. It's *not* all bad. However, it's extremely unlikely "the future" will belong to Africa. They have made little-to-no progress in the sort of human capital necessary to achieve meaningful economic convergence with the frontier economies or to contribute meaningfully to progress in science, technology, or medicine. Some gains are likely still possible here, particularly amongst the laggards, but it's very unlikely they'll be even at the level of South America any time soon, let alone those of Western Europe (+offshoots) or East Asia. Nor have they experienced meaningful secular convergence with the West over the past few decades. Indeed, they're further behind economically today than they were in the 1960s. Africa's share of global GDP may rise due to more rapid population growth, but that's about it. There is absolutely no reason to think they will rival the United States or even China as a region. I also don't see any reason to believe Africa is any more peaceful than Asia or Europe; quite the contrary. Numerous civil wars, ethnic conflicts, interpersonal violence, and more in Africa should disabuse you of this notion. These trends have also not improved relative to the rest of the world. I don't see why interstate violence should be any more important (Africa has still surpassed in overall conflict deaths for the past several decades!), but interstate conflict is apt to be inhibited by fractious internal politics, weak states, and limited resources. What would make you think an Africa with competent, well-resourced states and some real sense of national unity would abstain from conflict with other countries when they think it's in their self-interest?

This white English man probably knows that Africans are the richest people on earth in terms of natural resources. Africans have never needed to cross any oceans in search of other people's resources. We have everything. We just need to develop ourselves. So yes, the future belongs to Africa 😍💪🏾🥰😊

@@gerrytushh What l was thinking is that although many African countries have major internal divisions, they respect each others borders. They do not invade one another or any other country for that matter. What causes major conflicts is one country invading another like Putin or Israelis taking land from Palestinians to take two current examples. In the modern world it doesn’t matter about having raw materials. Singapore and Denmark for example have virtually none

True..Game parks and other tourist attractions far from Kampala

I haven't been there since before Amin but remember cool elevated farmlands that reminded me of England.

@@poetcomic1 it has tremendously changed since then

Schools, hospitals, universities. Manufacturing jobs, housing, health service, dental care, etc? Where are those parts of the country? What we know, corruption, corruption, corruption, at every turn. It’s frustrating and tiring.

Shhhhhhh! true but be quiet...you'll get me arrested bro

Pozdrawiam z Zamościa

Wow

I'm from Uganda 🇺🇬 and I also love Kenya 🇰🇪 so much. Been to Nairobi City like 8 times 😊

did you expect them not to be? Shocked to see well-dressed African people and city streets not piled with trash and vermin?

I have been there and it is dirty and rubbish in many central places. but its a great city where u can go anywhere

💀

@@halle2280not if you’re white you can’t.

Ugandan here. Born and raised. We do have very nasty areas to downtown. Just like most African cities.

I didn't know silver springs is that old and the hotel is still in existence

Silver Spring is older than I am! I was born in 1983 :)

Ah yes on the way down to the prison at Luzira

Not true 😢

Lol, not true at all.. I live there for a couple years and those potholes are car killers

newer the city the more upto date their city planning is because of how we travel changes, London is a nightmare to get around

​@@jooseppielleese7156Agree. London is exhausting to get around

@octomancer Really ? That's a typical comment from a clueless westerner caught up in the anti chinese hysteria. For your info, Chinese are the ones that built all those streets , buildings , hospitals, schools, and the airport you will land on when you go to a safari . So they're won't " bring" that you saying since they've been established there for decades already .... And what America is bringing to Africa these days? Hypocritical lectures on topics they fails in their ownbackyards, Pride months, maybe soon teaching us Drag shows story hours in schools. .. Certainly, not competing with other powers for investments.

Hi, can i contact with you?

You where dam lucky to get out alive!!!

@@keithroberts5611 I think I had a guardian angel on that trip...Uganda is a beautiful country with a lot to offer a traveller...I hope I get there again before I am no more for this world 🥰❤️

A!D$@@keithroberts5611

Nobody cares about your whiteness ma’am lol Anybody who looks like they aren’t a local will be looked at or “mobbed”.

It's 2023 in a globalized world. Nobody is shocked to see a white woman anywhere in the world. You're not special. Stop inventing stories.

What did you do there?

I live just outside Kampala from 92-95. It was an economic basket case the infrastructure was mess. Roads impossible during the rain season up north especially but such nice people and the jewel of East Africa. I won't revisit as I cherish the memories of that time.

Especially the burgeoning gay bar scene. oh wait....

😂😂😂

Kampala is cleaner than most American cities. From America

You're welcome. You're our distant siblings separated by geography.

You don't need a visa too if have a JA passport. 🤗

Why, have a look at California City streets.

Totally agree with you on the use of words..i personally found it to be exciting and lively just being there in kampala with all the craziness around..

Is the cost of living affordable?

I bet you like Idi Amin also even though he butchered 500k Ugandans

What's so courageous about them? They slaughtered tens of thousands of Asians in a maniacal genocide because their lunatic Amin 'Dadda' claimed the Asians controlled business. After that, Uganda's economy went wheels up. Then, they begged the Asians to return and help them rebuild the economy. And you respect that type? You say they've integrity. You've got a screw loose mate. You can't apply Christianity in Africa to people involved in Ancestral worship. Today, the President of Uganda supports Putin. So what's changed. When's the next genocide? A leopard doesn't change its spots. Open your eyes

Unless you are gay!

What about all that torture M7 subjects his opponents?????

@@marcooos9874 All crimes, and by any nation are equally as bad but don't try to justify Ugandas crime against humanity or detract from its injustice. The slaughter that took place in Uganda was not only of Amins doing, there was a general consensus and willingness amongst the population at the time that led to the event. Very similar to Hitlers rounding up and slaughtering of the Jews

Thanks brother!

Agree. His style set him apart from other vloggers.

thats what they do all over africa. They always go for the pity stories.

I have an account there, I hope this makes you happier 😊 one of the best banks. 😊

It’s not really, you’re seeing a very select part of the city.

No it's not stop the bullshit. USA is cleaner

OK! I just heard you talking about safety at minute 21. I would love to know more of your thoughts on this!

I from Atlanta Georgia thank you for sharing.

@@KerrySomewhere honestly Kigali is safer, but Kampala just has phone 📱 and gadget snatchers. No one will do you body harm but someone might snatch that phone from you and run 🏃💨 off. If u keep displaying it for all to see

I don't worry about my mirrorless camera. Pickpockets are after phones and wallets. Downtown areas are safe enough with basic precautions. But it is not nearly as safe as kigali.

@@WillieFungo thanks for sharing this!

Actually this is only the CBD but you will be shocked the mansions in upscale areas of Kampala like Muyenga,Kololo,Bugolobi,Kitintale,Ntinda,Bukoto,Ggaba and many more..There are mansions that Iam yet to see here in USA but the media always picks the negative issues about African countries

Of course, he must visit Kenya and make tons of videos about beautiful picturesque Kenya's cities: Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru and Eldoret. Otherwise, he shouldn't claim to have been in East Africa!

You are correct, to a point. I was just in Cancun Mexico. The city is not even 50 yrs old and who ever planed the streets, replicated a plate of spaghetti. For such a young city this makes no sense. I feel that there is a certain standard required for safety. Certain standards required for an orderly flow of traffic and most definitely standards required to make a city livable with a good quality of life. I lived in Bogotá. Two things I loved about it. Major green areas running through the city like veins. Every Sunday Morning most streets closed and they became a Bike, Roller Skate and Pedestrian only zone. It’s not hard to set standards and follow them. The problem is, you need politicians who have vision and are not totally corrupt! Africa Can do it, if they have the will to do it! It boils down to the people demanding more from their politicians.
