@MuhammadAI These tribes are popular or unknown.

I lived in LIBERIA, WEST AFRICA

There are around 16 tribes mostly living in the counties divided.

I remember Kpelle, Bassa, Mandingo, Krahn all indigenous tribes and the Americo-Liberians not associated with any tribe, but spoke their mother or father languages.

I tried to learn to speak atleast one language, but couldn’t.

I liove Africa

Thanks @MuhammadAI great that you added this information. I enjoyed looking at these areas on Maps and notice on one some sort of photo group has been in the area as there are a few 360 images e.g. https://goo.gl/maps/wUJ9HabYD1bacrXG9

We as Local Guides have an awesome opportunity to teach each other the truth about our home communities and how we leave and how those around us live. Through media and official messaging we only see content that suits the aims and goals of those presenting the information - I much enjoy seeing the truth and the actual places from the eyes of fellow Local Guides.
