Morocco is one of the coldest countries in Africa (probably second to Lesotho). Ouarzazate has some of the coldest nights on average and Ifrane is recorded to have had the coldest temperature in African history, reaching -23,9 C/-11 F on February 11, 1935.

I take pride in this.

Shoutout to Lesotho, South Africa, Ethiopia, Algeria and Kenya for representing African Alpine culture.

African Alpine culture produces the best wool cloaks, so it’s definitely a thing.

A vandal cavalryman, from a 5th century mosaic in Tunisia. The Vandals were a Germanic group that attacked and occupied some of the Roman Empire’s territory in the 400s and 500s CE. The Vandal military had a significant heavy cavalry component, which gave them a maneuverability boost against Roman troops. The Vandals traveled far across the Roman territories, moving from Poland and central Europe through France, Spain, and then North Africa.
