Recreational African Dancing

If you know me you'd know I love dance. I love going to competition, dancing for fun, and learning from different instructors. As for the article, I focused on the recreational dance portion. It interests me that dance is the largest form of recreation in Africa! Almost everyone dances. How awesome is that? However, sexes are kept controlled and separate when dancing.



In the 1950s, Highlife was a popular, urban recreational style of dance, and it all started in Ghana with instruments. It expresses independence. I, too, express independence when I dance. Now there are different styles and music in the four regions. If you are interested, there are many included in the article provided. In my opinion, the cha-cha is the best of course. What's your favorite style?

706 CARAT DIAMOND UNEARTHED?!

In Sierra Leone, Pastor Emmanuel Momoh, who is also a miner found a 706 carat diamond. He gave it to President Earnest Bai Koroma. The President thanked the Pastor for not smuggling the diamond, thus this led to him saying he would reward him with some of the money that the diamond would be sold for. The government plans to sell the diamond in a auction to the highest bidder. However, the 706 carat diamond is not the largest, but it is very close. If you were the Pastor, what would you have done?

Stop Trophy Hunting

  Africa is home to incredible wildlife, but it also has many trophy hunters killing off its wildflife.

Trophy hunting is cruel. Due to humans killing animals for sport, animal population has

decreased. Nowadays, only about 30,000 lions survive in Africa, when there used to be 200,000.

The Black Rhino's population is down 97.6% since 1960. Less than 900 mountain gorillas remain.

We're killing off amazing creatures for sport, and it needs to stop.

  Animals in Africa are being killed for their body parts. People kill them for their tusks, pelts, and

bones, which can be sold illegally for large amounts of money. Zebras are killed for their skin. There

has been an increase in trafficking infant gorillas. If we keep on killing animals for our

needs or intrests, elephants, rhinos, and other wildlife may be gone within our lifetime.

  In my opinion, animal hunting for "sport" needs to stop. These magnificent creatures could become

extinct thanks to humans, so we need to put an end to this cruel "sport." What do you think of trophy

hunting?

The Modern Woolly Mammoth

There is no doubt that there are threatened animals in Africa. One of them is the African bush elephant. The African bush elephant is the largest land mammal in the world. They can weigh up to six tons(12,000 lbs.) and can be from 3 meters to 3.5 meters tall. Finally, their tusks can grow up to 2.5 meters in length.
There are around 300,000 of these magnificent beasts left. Most die from starvation. elephants lose their teeth when they are 40 years or older and most starve to death. Poachers also kill elephants for their ivory tusks.
The African bush elephant in a descendant of the Woolly Mammoth. The Woolly Mammoth went extinct in the last ice age, as did the giant sloth, Milodon. We need to keep theses amazing African bush elephants safe so they don't end up in the same place.

SOMALI PIE RATS IN UNIFORM WITH GOONS ON A BOOT

     From 2005-2010 the Somali piracy epidemic has grown by a lot. Many ships have been pirated from 2005 to 2011. In fact, in the last 5-6 years the piracy rate has decreased drastically. In the recent years new technology and defenses have been produced. The piracy rate has gone from 160 attacks in 2011, to 1 in 2016. In order to bring awareness and also to tell a story a movie was made called captain phillips. The movie brought a little more knowing on the subject. Now piracy in somalia is lower than ever thanks to knowing about the problem. Concluding my post I ask you to be a pirates and steal some food from a sibling. Thanks.

PIRATES ATTACK SEVERAL VILLAGES, YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT... 1000 DEGREE KNIFE, PRANKED, HE DID WHAT!, LIQUID NITROGEN,

As a result of increased defenses in Africa, there was only 1 recorded Somali pirate attack in 2016. But, in 2011 there were 160 recorded Somali pirate attacks. There was a record low of zero pirate attacks in 2015. The most popular story of Somali pirate attacks was made into a movie called "Captain Phillips" which took place in 2009 where there were 80 known Somali pirate attacks. The Somali pirates that attacked were left to all but one remaining pirate. Anyhow, thank you for reading about Somali pirates. What can you do to make Africa have less bad pirates and more good ones?
