10 Billion Barrels of Oil Discovered off Namibia's Coast | Vantage with Palki Sharma

A new oil deposit has been discovered off the coast of Namibia in southern Africa. The discovery was made by the Portuguese oil company, Galp Energia. Galp says that the deposit contains about 10 Billion barrels of oil. This adds to the earlier discoveries made by Britain's Shell, and France's Total Energies. Altogether, about 21 Billion barrels of oil have been discovered in Namibia so far, and more explorations are underway. Namibia has a chance to use these deposits to boost its economy, but that will take time. Oil production is unlikely to begin before 2029. Namibia will also have to find a way to prevent the Western energy giants from taking the lion's share of the wealth. Palki Sharma tells you more.

(This one is super long and a bit academic, but covers an extremely broad timeframe and area, and goes much further back than most history books on Africa.)

Fauvelle , Francois-Xavier. The Golden Rhinoceros: Histories of the African Middle Ages. S.l.: Princeton University Press, 2021. (This book covers a lot of topics in African history over a pretty wide area, but isn't overwhelmingly long)

Gomez, Michael A. African Dominion: A New History of Empire in Early and Medieval West Africa. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2019. (Very good book on Medieval Sahelian history)

Parker, John, and David Adjaye. Great Kingdoms of Africa. Oakland, CA: University of California Press, 2023. (This book features articles written by different scholars on a variety of topics from across Africa, and like The Golden Rhinoceros it's not too long. Great place to get a taste of history from across the continent)
