01:39This is the desert area.

01:41These are the hilly mountains of Africa.

01:46After that, we have the Drinkensburg.

01:49This area is also a mountainous area.

01:50That's why you find Lake Victoria here.

01:53It is in the mountains.

01:55The source of the Shimbersy river is also here.

01:58So, this is the mountainous area.

02:00This is the second mountainous area.

02:45Guyana Highlands.

02:46Guyana Highlands.

02:53Let's move on to its path.

03:01So, Guinea is our country.

03:05Guinea is our country.

03:07The next country is Mali.

03:10It passes from here.

03:12After Mali, the next country is Niger.

03:16After Mali, the next country is Niger.

03:20And the last country is Nigeria.

03:22And the last country is Nigeria.

03:24Yes.

03:26Okay.

03:38Okay.

03:40This is our path.

03:42This is the fault in the Atlantic Ocean.

03:46The next important place is Bamaku.

03:47The next important place is Bamaku.

03:49The next important place is Bamaku.

03:56This is the capital city of Mali.

03:59So, the river passes from here.

04:02And the second one is Niger.

04:07And the second one is Niger.

04:41And Niger Delta, some early years ago, here, it was called Slave Coast.

04:50Slave, Slave Coast.

04:53Niger Delta, the delta of Niger river, it was also called Slave Coast.

05:14they used to take the labor force from here, the slaves.

05:18So, basically, this is the point where the coast was used for trade.

05:22The slaves were collected from all the African countries and they were shipped from here.
