Hello all,
For those interested the BBC are showing a good new series 'lost kingdoms of Africa'. The three episodes on offer cover the Ashante, Zulu and Berber peoples, and are well worth a look. Also if you have a brave heart and can resist the urge to die crying, take a look at the film 'East of Sudan', an epic bit of tosh with Anthony Quayle taking on Tulwar waving Dervish and rubber crocs!! The best bit is when the Maasia appear in the Sudan!! And do keep an eye out for the rather nice balkan yataghan-again another Ansar weapon
Enjoy folks!!
