I'd love for this to become a yearly video series; it's cool to hear about stuff that's happening in the countries that don't get talked about as much.
Two things:
1. If you're talking about Polish border patrols, you should also mention that Germany also introduced its border patrols before Poland because they were afraid of immigrants who arrived in Poland when the PiS government relaxed visa regulations in Poland and brought many immigrants into the country (2018-2023) or forced their way across the border with Belarus (2021-present). The Polish border patrols were a reaction to the German patrols and alleged actions involving the forced, illegal deportation of immigrants to Poland who were not of Polish origin. But in reality, both patrols were introduced because of the rise of the far-right both in Poland and Germany.
2. You missed Nigeria.
The video footage about Chad is clearly Botswana. The truck pictured which Prince Harry gets out of has a Botswana license plate. Later, we see a group of people sitting wearing clothes that feature the Botswana flag 🇧🇼.
San Marino section was wrong on several points. 5 countries have withdrawn from Eurovision 2025, the withdrawals relate to both Israel's actions in Palestine AND Israeli misconduct in the contest itself, and Gabry competed for them in 2025, there's no indication he'll do so in 2026.

Edit: San Marino will be sending Italian Singer Senhit along with British artist Boy George to the contest in Vienna. They will not be winning.
