A Country with Tragic Fate! Here's zimbabwe's History and Facts

Have you guys heard of rhodesia country? Rhodesia is a country on the continent of Africa which is currently known by the name of the republic of Zimbabwe. The name rodhesia has been used in the region since 1895, and marks the era of British colonization of the region. Since its independence from the UK in 1980 the country changed its name to zimbabwe as a form of abolition of the old political system. More details about the country of zimbabwe, here's the article.

Officially the country is named the republic of zimbabwe. Before using the name zimbabwe the country was known by the names of rhodesia or southern rhodesia. The country of zimbabwe is a landlocked country located in southern Africa, between the zambezi river and the limpopo river. Zimbabwe also borders the country of south Africa to the south, bostwana to the west, zambia to the north and mozambique to the east.

The area of the territory of the country is about 390, 757 square kilometers. The state capital of zimbabwe is in the city of harare, which is also one of the largest cities in the country. The total population of the country of Zimbabwe is about 16,159,624 inhabitants, with 99% being from the african ethnic group. Christianity is the official religion in the country of Zimbabwe, with about 84% of the population embracing the religion.

The country of Zimbabwe has 16 official languages recognized by its country, however English is the main language used in the education and judicial systems of its country. The form of government of the zimbabwean state is a republic with a presidential system of government, replacing its old system of semi-presidentialism. The implementation of the new constitution came after a referendum was held in 2013.

Mining products in the form of minerals and gold, as well as agricultural products are zimbabwe's main foreign export products. In addition, the tourism sector also has a big role to play in zimbabwe's economy. But the economic crisis that occurred in 2008, has left the country's economy in a mess.

Zimbabwe is experiencing a hyper-inflationary phenomenon, economists from the cato institute expect zimbabwe's monthly inflation in 2008 to reach 7.9 billion percent, although this figure is only an estimate because looking at economic conditions in the country and official inflation figures have never been issued by the government. This shows that the inflation rate in zimbabwe is very high and out of control.

The policy taken by the central bank of Zimbabwe by continuing to print money did not make the state of economic crisis in the country improve, but instead aggravated the situation, until finally there was a craze in price increases in zimbabwe. At its peak, the prices of goods and services can increase 2 times in just 24 hours.

The value of zimbabwe's currency has become worthless since the onset of the crisis, even the zimbabwean currency exchange rate has become the worst in the world. In 2009, in an effort to address uncontrolled inflation, the zimbabwean government announced that zimbabweans would be allowed to use other, more stable currencies besides the Zimbabwean dollar.

History of zimbabwe. The kingdom of mapungubwe was a medieval kingdom in southern Africa, its fiefdom also encompassing the territory we now know as zimbabwe. This kingdom was established in 1075 AD. Around 1250 to 1450 AD the kingdom of mapungubwe was defeated by the kingdom of zimbabwe, and in the 1450s the kingdom of zimbabwe was replaced by the kingdom of mumbabwe.

At the beginning of the 17th century the Portuguese attempted to monopolize the trade routes in the region and began a series of wars that caused the mutapa kingdom to almost collapse. In 1684, a new kingdom appeared in the region under the name of the rozwi kingdom.

The rozwi kingdom managed to expel the Portuguese from the zimbabwean highlands, and then develop their military power. In the 1880s, the British came to the region with a British south african company owned by cecil john rhodes who was a mining entrepreneur and also known as the english mining king.

In 1888 rhodes obtained a concession of mining rights from the king of lobengula from the people of ndebele, who was the ruler of the territory. In 1893 rhodes defeated the ndebele people in the first matabele war, besides cecil rhodes also sought permission to negotiate a similar concession covering the territory between the limpopo and zambesia rivers.

In accordance with the terms of the concessions and agreements mentioned earlier, the cecil rhodes promoted the colonization of land in the region, with british control over labor as well as precious metals and other mineral resources. In 1895 the British South Africa Company adopted the name rhodesia for the zambesia region, in honor of cecil rhodes.

In 1898 southern rhodesia became the official name for the southern region of zambesi. A number of uprisings occurred between 1896 and 1897. The revolt was carried out by the indigenous people of the region namely ndebele and shona, but the rebellion failed and could be subdued by british forces.

The potugis only arrived in the region at the end of the 15th century, around 1490, which was followed also by other european nations.

In 1884, after the signing of a treaty between king mlapa III and the German authorities in togoville. Germany claimed a protectorate over stretches of territory along the coast and then gradually extended its control to inland areas.

Komoro - Often considered an Arab State even though it is located far from Arabia, This is a Comoros State

"Ever heard of the comoros country?" This country is often considered one of the arab or middle eastern countries. In fact, geographically the country is located in the Indian Ocean and far from the middle east region. In addition, the comoros also use French as one of its official languages. This is also what makes comoros often referred to as confusing arab countries. More details about the comoros country, here's the article...

The comoros state or officially known by the name of comoros union. It is an independent country located in the region of south africa. in detail, the comoros state is located in the indian ocean at the northern end of the mozambique strait off the east coast of africa.

Comoros is one of the island nations on the african continent, the country shares a maritime border with the country of madagascar in the east, mozambique in the west and with the seychelles in the northeast.

The comoros mainland area consists of 3 large islands namely grande comore or ngazija, moheli or mwali and anjouan or ndzawani as well as many small islands. The total land area of the country is about 1, 862 square kilometers, making it one of the smallest countries in the world. If we try to compare the area of this country with the area in Indonesia, the area of this comoros country is about the size of the area of tasikmalaya regency in West Java.

The capital of the comoros state is the city of Moroni located on the island of ngazija , the city also being the largest city in the comoros country, According to the population census data It is estimated that the total population of the population of the comoros country is 850,886 inhabitants. which makes it one of the least populated countries in the world.

However, when compared to its area, comoros are one of the most densely populated countries, since the population density in this country is about 457 inhabitants per square kilometer.

The comoros population is dominated by the afro-arab ethnic group with a percentage reaching 86%, while the rest come from several other ethnic groups, such as malagasy, indians, chinese and other small communities.

Then in terms of religion, more than 98% of the comoros population adheres to the islamic religion, of that percentage, comoros is the only country with a muslim majority population in the region of south africa.

The comoros country also has 3 official languages spoken in the country, namely the comoros language or known as Shikomori, Arabic and French. French in this country is spoken as the administrative language and the language of most formal education. The comoros union is a republican state, the politics of this country takes place within the framework of a federal presidential republic.

Under the constitution of 2001, which was amended in 2009, 2014, and 2018, the comoros union state was formed by 3 main islands in the country. These three islands have the right to regulate most of their own affairs with their own presidents, except for activities assigned to comoros unions such as foreign policy, defense, nationality, banking and others.

The executive power of the federal government is held by the president, who is assisted by three vice presidents. The comoros president serves as head of state and government and is directly elected in national elections for a five-year term.

Each vice president served for five years and represented one of the three islands. The current president of the comoros is held by azali assoumani. He was a politkus and a comoros military officer.

Azali assoumani became head of state after a coup in 1999 and was elected president in 2002, 2016 and 2019. In terms of economy, comoros are one of the smallest and poorest economies in the world.

The country's economy is based on subsistence agriculture and fisheries. Comoros have a great dependence on grants and foreign aid. Financial bantauns from countries such as the european union, japan, saudi arabia and kuwait have become one of the main pillars of the country's economy.

Comoros history. The first inhabitants to occupy the comoros islands are thought to have been fishermen and traders of African and austronesian origin, who traveled by boat.

They came to the comoros around the 6th century AD or earlier. Furthermore, in the 8th to 13th centuries AD they were followed by an influx of sailors from the arabian peninsula and the Persian Gulf as well as austronesian sailors from southeast asia, who had previously settled near madagascar.

For centuries, the comoros have been inhabited by a diverse succession of groups from the coasts of Africa, the Persian Gulf, Southeast Asia and Madagascar. The construction of settlements in the comoros themselves is divided into several phases. The earliest recorded phase was the dembeni phase between the 8th and 10th centuries, where there were several small settlements on each island.

Later from the 11th to the 15th centuries, trade with the island of madagascar and merchants from the swahili coast and the middle east flourished, which resulted in more villages being established and existing villages beginning to grow.

Many comoros can trace their lineage to the ancestors of the arabian peninsula, in particular the hadhramaut, who arrived during this period. The first known Europeans to visit these islands, in the 16th century, were portuguese.

The Portuguese arrived in the Indian Ocean at the end of the 15th century and the first Portuguese visit to the islands appears to have been the second fleet visit of vasco da gama in 1503. For most of the 16th century period, comoros islands served as supplies for portuguese fortifications in mozambique. During this period, there were no official attempts by the portuguese government to take over the territory of the comoros.

Around the beginning of the 17th century, English and Dutch ships began to arrive in the territory of the comoros archipelago, after the arrival of these europeans the island of ndzwani or grande comore later became the main supply point on the route to the east indies.

Nevertheless, the most dominant foreign influence on the islands was from the Arabs. In this period the local rulers of the comoros gained the support of the sultan of oman.

Towards the end of the 18th century, warriors from madagascar began to attack the islands of the comoros for the first time, they took the inhabitants of the comoros to serve as slaves, and then settled down and seized power from the arabs in the various regions of the archipelago. In the comoros, it is estimated that in 1865, as much as 40% of the population of the comoros population consisted of slaves.

In the 19th century the territory of the comoros archipelago became part of the french colonial rule. France's acquisition of the islands in the comoros proceeded gradually, the French first established colonial rule in the comoros by taking over the island of mayotte in 1841, in the 1880s the french government placed all three other islands with the status of french protected territories.

And it was not until 1908 that the four comoros islands officially became part of the french colony in madagascar. In 1961, a year after madagascar became independent, the islands were granted internal autonomy by the French. In 1973 the comoros representatives entered into an agreement with the french government to grant comoros independence in 1978. And in 1974, a referendum was held on all four islands.

As a result of the referendum, three islands voted for independence, while the island of Mayotte voted against, and remained under french rule. After a referendum, on 6 July 1975 the comoros parliament passed a unilateral resolution to declare comoros independence from france.

Although the UN recognizes the 4 islands as one country, the French only recognize 3 islands, while the island of Mayotte, which from the beginning refused to become independent, is managed as the foreign department of the french state.

That is a summary of the history about the founding of the comoros state. And as always, to get to know lebeih close to this country, here are 20 interesting facts from the comoros country. The origin of the name comoros is taken from the Arabic vocabulary, namely from the word jaza'ir al-qamar which means moon islands. At the same time, the comoros population called himself a student.

As we see, the design of the national flag of the comoros country consists of 4 horizontal stripes with yellow, white, red and blue colors, which are combined with a green triangle on the side of the hoist in which there is a crescent moon length and 4 white stars. Although this motif has been used comoros since 1975 during the independence movement.

However, it was only officially adopted as a flag design on December 23, 2001. The national flag of the comoros has 4 horizontal lines and which represents those 4 main islands. The yellow color on the flag represents the island of moheli, the white represents the island of mayotte, the red of the island of anjouan and the blue color represents the island of grande comore. While the green color, the symbol of the crescent moon and the star symbolizes the religion of Islam. In addition, the 4 star emblems are also said to represent the 4 main islands.

Mayotte Island is a state-owned foreign affairs department of France. Although historically the island was part of the comoros, in a referendum in 1974, the island of mayoote decided to remain under french rule. Nevertheless, in the declaration of independence in 1975, the comoros still claimed that the island was part of its country.

Mayotte Island is the most prosperous region in the straits of Mozambique, which later made it a major destination for illegal immigration, especially from surrounding areas such as from comoros. In 1997, two small islands in the comoros, namely moheli and anjouan islands, briefly broke away from the comoros union. They asked the French to re-colonize them, but the French refused the request and they rejoined the union in 2001.

Interestingly, since independence in 1975, the Comoros have experienced more than 20 coups and attempts at secession. On average, coups are attempted in comoros every two years which causes the islands to be dubbed as coup islands.

One of the other interesting facts of the comoros country is that the comoros country is an island country in africa that is close to the french country. this is because considering that the island of mayotte is part of france.

The comoros franc is the official currency issued by the comoros state. Internationally this currency is encoded with KMF, if we convert this currency into rupiah, 1 comoros franc has an exchange rate of about 30 rupiah. As mentioned earlier, the country is one of the poorest countries in africa, as more than 40% of its population lives below the poverty line.

20% of comoros citizens are unemployed and only about 60% can read and write. The country's economy is highly dependent on the agricultural sector. The comoros agricultural industry is a contributor to about 40% of the country's GDP. One of the factors hindering economic growth in the country is inadequate transport networks, especially transportation connecting the islands.

The etymology of the name belarusian is closely related to the term belaya rus, The name rus itself is often equated with the Latin form of the words russia and ruthenia, so belarusians are often referred to as white russia or white ruthenia.

The first use of the term white russia to refer to belarus occurred in the late 16th century by the englishman sir jerome horsey, known for his close contact with the royal courts of russia.

During the 17th century, tsarist Russia used the term white rus to describe the lands added from the grand duchy of Lithuania. The design of the flag consists of 2 main colors namely red and green accompanied by an ornament pattern placed on the side of the flagpole.

This national flag design was officially introduced in 2012 adapted from a design approved in a referendum in 1995. The design of the flag itself replaces the old flag design of belarus when the country was part of the soviet union Although there is no official interpretation for the color of the flag, the explanation given by president alexander lukashenko is that the red color on the flag symbolizes the freedom and sacrifice of the ancestors of the nation, while the green color symbolizes life.

More details about czech rep, here's the article.

Czech republic, or briefly we call czech country is one of the countries in the central european region. The czech state was formed after the dissolution of the czechoslovak state in 1993.

Prague is the largest city as well as the capital of the czech country, Prague is the political, cultural and economic center of central Europe complete with a rich history.

The city was founded in roman times and flourished in the gothic, renaissance, and baroque eras. The city of prague is the capital of the kingdom of bohemia and the main residence of several holy roman emperors.

Its rich history makes prague a popular tourist destination, the city receiving more than 8.5 million international visitors annually. In 2017 prague was listed as the fifth most visited european city after london, paris, rome and istanbul.

The total population in the country in 2020 is estimated to reach 10,693,939 inhabitants, with about 64% of the population coming from the Czech ethnic group.

Czech history. In the early period, the territory of central Europe, and including the territory that is currently the czech state was controlled by the boii people and the slavs. During some period these people established such kingdoms as the samo empire and the great moravian kingdom.

At the end of the 9th century, part of the czech territories were controlled by the duchy of bohemia, bohemia was an imperial state of the holy roman empire. In the 16th century, bohemia came under control and became part of the hasburg dynasty. At the beginning of the 19th century the hasburg dynasty was officially unified as an austrian empire and then became an austro-hungarian empire. Austro-hungary was a multinational country and one of the main powers of europe at that time, geographically the territory of the austro-hungarian empire was the second largest in europe after the russian empire.

The empire then collapsed after its defeat in World War I. In 1918, after the collapse of the empire, the independence of the czechoslovak state was officially proclaimed in prague on October 28, 1918. This newly emerging country combined the territories of bohemia, moravia, czech silesia, ruthenia carpathy and upper hungary which is currently a slovak state.

Czechoslovakia became a liberal democratic republic, the new state was characterized by problems with its ethnic diversity, a separate history between czech and slovak peoples and their very different religious, cultural and social traditions. In the 1930s, the rise of nazi germany, made the czech region occupied by the germans. In 1939, the Germans turned the region into a bohemian and moravian protectorate The protectorate was proclaimed as part of the third reich, and the president and prime minister were under the reichprotector or protector of nazi germany.

In its occupation the Germans launched an ost generalplan plan calling for the annihilation of expulsion, germanization or enslavement of most or all czechs for the purpose of providing more living space for the german people.

Resistance to the german occupation of the protectorate of bohemia and moravia during world war II began after the occupation of the rest of Czechoslovakia and the establishment of a protectorate on 15 March 1939. In the early days of the war, the czech population participated in boycotts of public transport and large-scale demonstrations. in addition armed communist partisan groups also participated in sabotage and clashes with german police forces.

The most famous act of resistance was the assassination of reinhard heydrich. Resistance culminated in the so-called 1945 Prague uprising, in which czech fighting forces had the support of soviet and allied forces. After the surrender of nazi germany, about 2.9 million ethnic germans were expelled from czechoslovakia, with the consent of the allies, their property and rights were declared invalid through the decree of beneš.

Czechoslovakia soon fell under Soviet influence. In the 1946 elections, the czechoslovak communist party obtained 38% of the vote and became the largest party in the czechoslovak parliament, forming coalitions with other parties and consolidating power. In February 1948, the Communists took power in the 1948 czechoslovak coup d'état, czechoslovakia was declared a people's republic, an early step towards socialism and eventually, communism.

Bureaucratic centralism under the direction of the communist party leadership was introduced. Elements of dissidentism were cleared from all walks of life, including the roman catholic church. The ideological principles of marxism-leninism and socialist realism permeate the cultural and intellectual life of this country. Over the next 41 years, the communist state of czechoslovakia was described by certain economic and political features of the eastern bloc.

The anti-communist revolution began on November 16, 1989 in bratislava, with demonstrations by slovak students for democracy, and continued with similar demonstrations by czech students in prague on November 17, 1989 communist police violently dispersed peaceful pro-democracy demonstrations, they brutally beat many participants from among the students.

The event sparked a series of demonstrations from November 17 to late December and turned into anti-communist demonstrations. This event in general came to be known as the velvet revolution.

On November 28 the communist party of Czechoslovakia announced that it would relinquish power and end the one-party state. The first free elections in czechoslovakia since 1946 took place in June 1990. The election went without incident and with more than 95% of the population voting. As anticipated, the civil society forum and the society against violence won a landslide victory in their respective republics and gained a majority vote in the federal parliament.

Parliament took substantial steps to secure a successful move towards fair local elections in November 1990, ensuring fundamental change at the district and municipal levels. In 1991, the existence of some fundamental differences between the czech and slovak people made this country decide to separate.

A number of reasons have been given for the dissolution of czechoslovakia, with the main debate focusing on whether dissolution was inevitable or whether dissolution occurred in conjunction with or even contrary to the events that occurred between the velvet revolutions of 1989.

On November 25, 1992, the czechoslovak federal parliament decided to divide the country into czech republics and slovakia from January 1, 1993. And on January 1, 1993, the following two countries are the facts of the Rer state. Czech. The official name of the czech republic and the czech short name were decided on its formation after the dissolution of czechoslovakia in the so-called velvet divorce of 1993.

In English the country is called by a czech name, the english name of the country has historically been bohemia. The name comes from the celtic tribe that inhabited the area from the 4th century BC. Boiohaemum, as it was originally known in Latin, comes from the German boi-haima, which means house boii.

The name survived all the later migrations that affected the area, including the arrival of slavic peoples and the formation of a czech state. In the 9th century, the country was officially known as the duchy of bohemia, transformed into the kingdom of bohemia in the 11th century and the crown of bohemia in the 14th century.

The design of the first flag of czechoslovakia was based on the flag of bohemia which was white over red. The flag is almost identical to the flag of poland, then a blue triangle was added on the side in 1920 to distinguish the country's flag. The flag was banned by the nazis in 1939 when they formed a government that nominally controlled bohemia and moravia, the 1920 flag was restored in 1945.

After czechoslovakia was dissolved in 1993, the czech republic retained the czechoslovak flag while Slovakia adopted its own flag. There is no specific meaning about the use of color on the flag of the republic, but traditionally the color used on the flag indicates the ancestral identity of their nation.

The czech koruna is the official currency used by the czech republic. This currency has been officially used by Czechs since 1993. Czech koruna is coded with CZK, the value of this currency if exchanged into our currency is about 650 rupiah.

Like other slavic languages, Czech is a fusional language with a rich morphological system and a relatively flexible word order. His vocabulary has been heavily influenced by latin and german. By scientists, Czech is classified as one of the hardest languages in the world. Since 2000, the czech republic has been divided into thirteen administrative regions or what in Czech is called kraje and 1 capital with regional status. Each county has its own elected county council and a county governor.

The low crime rate and the absence of international conflicts, make the czech republic one of the safest countries in the world. In 2019, the country ranked 11th in the world peace index. As is known the czech republic along with slovakia was one country i.e. czechoslovakia until 1992. The dissolution of this country into two regions of the country or what is often also known as divorce velvet, became one of the most peaceful divisions of the country in the world in the 20th century.

The Czech republic ranked the 27th most environmentally conscious country in the world in the Environmental performance Index in 2016. The country has four national parks namely sumava national park, krkonoše national park, ceske svycarsko national park, podyjí national park and 25 protected land areas as well as six biosphere reserves.
