Do you see this island?

It is the cause of a major dispute between two countries, Kenya and Uganda, and may cause war between them.
6
Everyone is claiming this island.
7
On the map you can see that the border between the two countries is very close to this island, which makes both Uganda and Tanzania claim it.
8
Britain drew the borders.
9
But why does everyone want this island and not the entire lake?
10
We arrived in the capital, Nairobi.
11
We are going to a small town called Kisumu.
12
We are going to the city of Kisumu, and from there we will drive for 4 hours to reach this island, which is located on the border with Uganda and causes conflict there.
13
Then we drove for 4 hours to reach the shore of the lake, where we would search for a boat to take us to this island.
14
We will take a boat ride for another 2 hours to reach Migingo Island.
15
This lake is the source of the Nile.
16
This entire village works in fishing.
17
This is Lake Victoria, named after the Queen of Britain.
18
This lake is the source of the Nile River, which starts from here and symbolizes the lifeline of Egypt and Sudan.

In the name of Allah.
22

There are huge waves.
24
I don't know if this boat will hold up.
25
Turns out it's very far, 26 km away.
26
Okay, guys, we've reached the island now, this is it.
27
It's getting dark, so I don't know how they'll welcome us.
28
They say there is Kenyan police here.
29
There are more than 1000 people living on this island.
30
It's very small.
31
I don't know how they live like this.
32
You will see lights around the island, these are traps that attract small fish.
33
Oh, we have arrived!
34
When we stepped onto the island, they made us turn off the cameras, took us back to the boat, and sent us to another security island next to Migingo, whose residents are Kenyans and Ugandans, occupying it and controlling who enters and who leaves.
35
We paid $250 just to enter this island.
36
There is another island next to it used just for security.
37
This money is divided between the island's leaders, who are Kenyans and Ugandans.

43
These are mostly fishermen, but where will we sleep tonight?
44
This is a supermarket, and they say it's not the only one, there are more here.
45
Did you see how they cook? They’re all one community, Ugandans and Kenyans united against the government and taking money from the people who come here.
46
We will sleep here.
47
There are storms here all around you, water and the sound of strong winds!
48
Okay, these are our neighbors from Tanzania.
49
Welcome. Look, it's by the lake!
50
It's so deep!
51
This is the real travel experience!
52
Look at this room!
53
It's a storm that will continue all night long, the sound of the sea is loud.
54
Look, this is a pool hall.
55
Ugandans occupy the island.
56
It's too late, it's 10 o'clock now.
57
We will sleep now because tomorrow morning the fishermen will come here.
58
You won’t guess what happened to us.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
