I haven't watched the video yet, but It's on the east coast of Africa, near the equator, the capital is Nairobi. It's in the same region where humans evolved. I used to be a British colony. There was a rebellion against the British in the 1950s, which was suppressed with extreme brutality. Obama's father came from there, and Richard Dawkins spend a large part of his childhood there. The flag has a shield on it. It has a disproportionate number of world class long distance runners.. It used to be pronounced "Keenya". That's most of what I know about Kenya.

I'm just an American but I've known Kenyan was nowhere near Nigeria. Nigeria is in West Africa and Kenya is in the east. I have some videos on black and African history.

What do Americans know about Kenya!? Absolutely nothing. I have met a few who have been there and know quite a bit but... Most know nothing. Those who travel there though, love it!
Kenyans wondering how this just got recommended
Not this suddenly popping up on my recommendationss
Soccer? Hehe, you crack me up. We did have a good rugby team for a while though. Second best only to the all blacks or the Springboks(depends on the year) then we weren't any more.
Kenya my mother land🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Running sports and running are two different things if you're Kenyan
One thing that stands out, is it was obviously never a French colony nor invaded by the US. So I would have to surmise that after being part of the British Empire, they chose close ties with the USSR like India.
