The Republic of Annobón - celebrating independence!
WATCH TILL THE END! !!! I attended Annobón's second independence anniversary celebrations in Madrid, met the President, the Prime Minister, and many other Annobonese people - and was also made an honorary citizen!
A few days after this celebration, President Obiang of Equatorial Guinea retaliated by implementing a crackdown, arresting dozens of people in Annobón who dared to question government policy.

Are .io websites EVIL?! | The shameful story of the British Indian Ocean Territory
FACTS on the ground in the land of “somaliland” “somaliland”, which claimed its independence from Somalia after the fall of the military central government. Civil war erupted in southern Somalia, where civil society became nonexistent in all of Somalia, and the tribes and tribal leaders became the peace-keeper for their tribes, and working with bordering tribes in the interest of peace. And each tribe started governing its own land. “somaliland” or the Isaaq tribe differed little bit in that mentality - tribes controlling its territory - in that, it started bringing back colonial mentality, since the leaders and “politicians” were tied to foreign entities, the same foreign entities that were bent upon for the Somali state to collapse. Come 2024, “somaliland” or the Isaaq clan only control - of the former ‘British Somaliland’ protectorate, which gained independence with ‘Italian Somaliland’ in 1960 - 3 districts; Sahil, majority of Togdheer and Marodi Jeh. They have lost control to 90% of Sool, to Sanaag except 15-20% which the Isaaq clan habitate and Erigavo which is shared city between Isaaq and Harti (sub-tribe of Daarood), and last but not least part of Togdheer, which has become a district on its own and is called Ayn. All these territories, before mentioned, are habited and owned by the Harti tribe (sub-clan of Daarood). And then there’s Awdal district, which is a contested district between the Gadabiirsi tribe, who habitate and own that land, who are part pro-somaliland and part against somaliland. And as of to date, Erigavo (the capital of Sanaag district and controlled now by “somaliland”) is deserted by the majority of its inhabitants, the Harti tribe and may turn into a war zone, if a settlement is not reached by two administrations; “somaliland” and ‘Khatumo State (a semi-autonomous state governed by the central government of Somalia). I paraphrase Somaliland, as “somaliland” in my dictation, because they claim to govern and control land, which is no longer under their administration, and whose inhabitants do not want to be part of “somaliland” or consider themselves as part of it, in which thousands of individuals lost their lives to attain that objective. And frankly, parts of these districts, which “somaliland” claims to govern and control are areas it has never ever controlled or governed, nevertheless, claim to do so. If U.S.A. has become a colonial and empire like predecessor, namely; ‘British Empire’. Then U.S.A. should do as it feels like and choose one Somali tribe over another. However, if U.S.A. is the same U.S.A. we know for democracy, liberty and self determination, then U.S.A. should change its conduct and foreign policy in the Horn Africa. And work with the United Nations recognised, nevertheless weak, but still the only central government of Somalia.

Russia falling is just as bad as it conquering the countries around it. The way things escalated post 2022 is perfect. Russia was a world power, tho now it's gonna be a regional power, but it can't lose that status since we'd risk other countries taking its place, mainly China, so no, none if these Russian territories should gain independence imo tho they could and should get ever more autonomy (tho they already have a fair bit of autonomy already)
Hey man, I love the video, especially the part where you talk about dry river beds. is a shame to see.
Somaliland's colonial borders, established during over a century of British rule, should be respected by the African Union as they reflect historical realities. The region was a British protectorate from 1884 until it gained independence on June 26, 1960, a status that was recognized by the United Kingdom and several other nations at the time. Following its brief independence, Somaliland united with Italian Somaliland to form the Somali Republic, but this union has been fraught with challenges, leading to Somaliland's declaration of independence in 1991. Given its historical context and the principle of respecting colonial borders, the African Union should reconsider its stance and recognize Somaliland as an independent state, acknowledging its right to self-determination and the legitimacy of its borders established during the colonial era
I could be wrong, but I suspect the African Union will be one of the last major institutions to recognize Somaliland. There are too many members who will worry (unjustifiably in my opinion) that it will create a precedent for more separatism.
Emm, bad Russian invaders. The Communism Russians were even worse...
In the north of Somalia there are two sub-administrative states, namely Somaliland and SSC Khatumo
I think the issue of the region you're calling SSC Khatumo might be changing now that Irro and Waddani are in power in Hargeisa.
@@FredoRockwell Yes, Irro is the president of Somaliland, he is the head of the administration under Somalia. But search Ssc Khatumo Information code on Google if you need
@@FredoRockwell #Khaatumo ssc
I know about SSC Khatumo, don't worry. I just think that issue will change now that there's a different leader in Hargeisa.
@@FredoRockwell Yes, that's right. If we are the administration of Khatumo SSC, we do not want Northern Somalia to be divided into an independent administration from Somaliland
Somalis are one, Somaliland is part of Somalia
That's the position of the Federal Republic of Somalia but this government was created a few years ago, long after Somaliland reasserted its independence. It can't just claim all of the territory of the former Somali Democratic Republic that collapsed in 1991. Also, it considers Puntland a state but Puntland currently does not recognize the FRS either.
@FredoRockwell It is true, but Somaliland, the world knows that Somalia is one of them
@SOOMAALIY-1960 Having been to Somaliland myself, there's no evidence of any administrative control by Villa Somalia over Somaliland. It is de facto a separate and independent country. Recognition, which can change at the stroke of a pen, is all that is missing.
@@FredoRockwell Do you know that the young people who lived in the North of Somalia, known as Somaliland, are against the secession of Somaliland? They want greater Somali unity
@SOOMAALIY-1960 I hear lots of things from both sides. If you know anyone who is actually in SSC Khatumo I'd be delighted to hear from them. My email is in the channel description.
If we are Somalis, we have the same language, same religion, same culture. So we don't want Somalia.
I'm not sure you meant this, but it sounds like you're arguing Somalia shouldn't exist. That sounds a bit extreme.
Finns may also be invited in the future.

Somaliland state of Somalia 🇸🇴 imagine every Somalia 🇸🇴 tribe says we went our own country
Imagine Somalia's government falling apart and disappearing for twenty years. Then some guy from Puntland starts his own government, moves into Villa Somalia, and says, hey I rule all of what used to be Somalia now. And then, most of the country ignores that guy. And now Puntland doesn't even recognize the new Somalian government now.
@ most of the alshabaab Terrorist group leaders come from somaliland 2 weeks ago Somalia 🇸🇴 government capture 2 guys come from somaliland in muqdisho they was going jubaland region and 1 month ago 5 guys from Somaliland was capture . Somaliland government working with alshabaab
Somaliland is only one ☝️ tribe called isaaq the rest of tribe of state will stay with Somalia 🇸🇴 union Somalia federal government still working isaaq tribe leaders
The first elected president of Somaliland, President Kahin, is not Isaac.
@ I know kaahin is not isaaq tribe his tribe called samaroon they want stay with union Somalia 🇸🇴
@AB333East I'm glad we agree about Kahin.
@@FredoRockwell Scott Perry took money from people of somaliland he told them he will convince trump USA government to recognize Somaliland as country
Somaliland state of Somalia 🇸🇴 puntland state of Somalia 🇸🇴 khaatumo state of Somalia 🇸🇴 galmudug state of Somalia 🇸🇴 hirshabeele state of Somalia 🇸🇴 jubaland state of Somalia 🇸🇴 south west state of Somalia 🇸🇴
Both Puntland and Jubbaland states have withdrawn recognition of the new Federal Somalian government. I don't think worrying about Somaliland is Villa Somalia's biggest problem right now.
Many thanks to make this video..
Very happy to!

Hunturks are Hungarians. You can't change this reality.
I don't think it's relevant enough to modern day politics to worry about, to be honest. If it's true it's at best an interesting historical fact.
@FredoRockwell I agree with you. Turks loves and respects their Macar brothers and sisters. I think we will see deeper relationships between two nations in the near future. I believe that Hungry will join the United Turkic Nations.
