Conocí a los Asante en Ghana (y la veterana que los británicos jamás olvidarán)

An African empire that withstood British invasion for 100 years… and a woman who called her own chiefs “cowards” for going to war. I entered Ghana through the border with Ivory Coast and arrived in Kumasi, the heart of the Asante (Ashanti) Empire. A warrior people with a history marked by gold, resistance, and key female figures like Yaa Asantewaa. In this video, I invite you to journey with me through the history of the Asante Empire while, time and again, an unexpected conversation with locals arises: the match between Uruguay and Ghana in the 2010 World Cup.
