As a Malaysian, it was always interesting to me that our passports said 'travel to all countries except Israel' and those who wish to go there usually need to go via an illegal detour so that you wont attain a stamp on your passport
@@anitanaseer1007Of course it is. There are other countries it is probably more pressing to prevent travel to, so singling Israel out almost exclusively by Muslim-majority countries has a clear religious agenda behind it.
@@TLguitar It's not a religious agenda - Israeli Jews are in large part from the diaspora prior to the Holocaust - they are a _different people_ to the Arabs of the region. It's an agenda pertaining to ethnicity, since the Israeli government has been allowing illegal settlements in Palestine, forcing Arabs out of their native homeland and engaging in state violence against Arabs in Palestine. We're just a few steps short of an all-out ethnic cleansing going on in the apartheid state of Israel, and you're wilfully ignorant of simple reality if you deny this. Israel, however, has a lot of power and diplomatic value to the western world, hence why the Israel is pretty much the only country doing this kind of thing without it being denounced by any western government. No sanctions, nothing. Virtually all international rights organisations recognise that Israel is an apartheid state (as do the _African National Congress_ itself). All Israeli and Palestinian people should be able to live, equally, in their historic homeland in peace, under a government with _neither_ the Arab Muslims or Israeli Jews having hegemony. All that Palestinians want is fair political representation and for their land to stop being effectively stolen. We know from India and Pakistan that a two-state 'solution' will only lead to a forever war. Nobody should be persecuted in or forced out of their homeland because of their religion or ethnicity.
@Sketchy Stuff basically, there is this urban legend about a man detained at the Tokyo airport in the 1960s. When airport security checked his passport, it states that he was from a country named 'Taured', which of course, doesn't exist. He was told to point in a map where 'Taured' is, he pointed at Andorra, which he said to never heard of. He was then placed in a hotel room for investigation, but disappeard the next morning
If you are a person with normal judgment, you will definitely be surprised by the actions of the Bhutanese government. If you are interested in knowing something in-depth because of this, check out the treaty signed between India and Bhutan in 1947. This will help you understand why such a small country does not recognize China, and see how Bhutan's diplomatic rights are restricted by India

Just a correction about the Somaliland thing, it was recognised for those five days and is still recognised today by these countries : China, Egypt, Ethiopia, France, Ghana, Israel, Libya and the Soviet Union when it existed. Oh and you know one thing I find crazy about Somalia and Somaliland, is that they're both allies with both North AND South Korea, which I find slightly crazy.
@@EpicMiniMeatwad if you're talking about the alliance with both Koreas, Somaliland have been in an alliance with North Korea formally since 1967. And the alliance with South Korea was established in 1987, which I think are mainly because of what Somalis export to Korea. Things like Molluscs, Scrap Copper, fish and car parts. And I think the relationship between Somalia and North Korea is genuine enough, because Somalia, Eritrea and Ethiopia have already faced UN Sanctions for their alliance with NK. And one of the key reasons Somalia and other countries in the Horn of Africa are allied with NK, is mainly because of their assistance with the Soviets in Civil Wars. The 1974 overthrow of Ethiopia’s pro-American Emperor Haile Selassie and establishment of a Marxist government in Ethiopia caused the Soviet Union to redirect its military resources away from Mogadishu and toward building an alliance with Addis Ababa. North Korea followed the USSR’s lead, and provided support for Ethiopian forces during their successful efforts to withstand Somali tribal aggression in the 1977-78 Ogaden War. The 1991 collapse of Marxist regimes in Somalia and Ethiopia caused North Korea to adopt a more balanced approach to the region. During the 1990s, North Korea assisted Ethiopia’s counter-insurgency efforts in Eritrea and Tigray with provisions of ammunition, rocket launchers, mortar bombs, and grenades. Despite U.S. attempts to convince Ethiopia to comply with UN sanctions against North Korea, the Ethiopian military authorized a major purchase of North Korean weapons in 2007 to strengthen its counterterrorism campaign, further consolidating the Addis Ababa-Pyongyang relationship. Damn that took like half an hour to write, but hope that explains things
@@EpicB I can never forget Chad. I remember looking at a map of Africa, for the first time, when I was like eight years old. And I saw a country named "Chad," and I just got a kick out of that.

I remember talking to him about it, in school the next day, and joking about how he had his own country, and my friends and I were so jealous. lol

Also totally random but they don't harm animals for getting meat on their land. They get it exported from India. And it has no theaters and only 1 airport in the whole country
The reason why Bhutan chose this way is not because it "based" or anything, but rather they are literally a modern puppet state of India that has no say in its diplomatic relationships other than consulting India first. Given by its location, it might be the best choice in a sense it doesn't get involved anway. Nobody gives a damn to Bhutan either way.
@@Hitorie_ Having puppet states is a Chinese thing, not India's. Example: North Korea. Bhutan had voted along with PRC instead of India in the UN in the 1970s, Bhutan recently established relations with Israel and perhaps Germany too. Better restrain from speaking illogically.

Bhutan has no independent foreign policy, they are ruled by India by proxy since invaded by India. India said it was not an invasion, their army is in Bhutan as advisors and trainers, but at one time, the Indian army was more than the total population of Bhutan, everyone, men, women and children.

Shit. For years I've been saying that I'd rather die than live in a monarchy (we expelled our royal family at the end of WW2. Some of them wanted to side with Nazis, after we took them down and replaced them with those royals that wanted to side against Nazis, they, after some time, ran away with the royal treasury and, reportedly, lost it at sea. Years back we allowed them to come back, but some of them are trying to restore a monarchy), but I'd might like to live in Buthan, the royalty there seems dope. XD
@@blindknitter pretty sure you're also part of a monarchy. Sure, the royal family is apolitical, unless you express an opinion of ending the monarchy. XD
FIFA has more countries because of things like where the UK is seen as one country, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all have their own football association and so each gets recognised as a separate country. But in the Olympics, the country that’s recognised is Great Britain, so ends up with a team compromising of players from all these countries. Famously with Welsh players refusing to participate in the national anthem in 2012. In Rugby, ROI and Northern Ireland play as one country because the IRFU was formed before independence and never split.

Hey @RealLifeLore, just to clear some details you mentioned about Morocco. Morocco actually annexed its southern territories "western sahara" that belonged to it before the spanish colonization so obviously it's not an invasion. Moreover, the area you said is controlled by POLISARIO is in fact a buffer zone controlled by MINURSO. Lastly, the number of countries that recognize the sovereignty of Morocco over western sahara is more than 91 countries, for instance: USA, Spain, Portugal, Egypt, Austria, Turkey, Germany, The Netherlands, United Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Cambodia and the list also includes a huge number of african countries except for Algeria, Mauritania and South africa.

I know its a joke, but just to be clear, not recognising does not mean that they think nothing exists up there. It just means they think that its a disputed area. That's why countries can, after recognising a country, later again refuse to recognise it.

Fun fact: The current country of Timor-Leste had a very similar situation to Somaliland. Not even a week after the Portuguese left, Indonesia unilaterally invaded and annexed them. This lasted from 1975 to 1999, because Indonesia was never able to break the will of the people there. In 1999, Indonesia left, and the territory briefly reverted to Portuguese rule until independence was established in 2002. Some people say that Somaliland voluntarily joined with Somalia, but that's really not true. It was pre-arranged between the UK and Italy. The local population did not want it.
Europeans completely overlooking what the natives want, just to make things easier on themselves?? I'm shocked... unless I'm not. The end of colonialism is still casting a shadow over the world, even today. I wonder how long before it doesn't?
Correct with regards to the Indonesian invasion - there wasn't even a proper independence transition, Portuguese troops and administration left and Indonesia invaded with tacit US support in order to prevent a potential USSR-aligned guerrilla movement from coming to power. The territory did not revert to Portuguese rule in 1999, though - after weeks of scorched earth violence fostered by Indonesia following the overwhelming vote in favour of independence, the Indonesian government finally caved to international pressure and accepted a UN presence in the territory with a goal to prepare East Timor for independence. It just happens that the UN and most western countries (except Australia...) never recognized neither the Timorese independence of 1975 nor the subsequent Indonesian annexation, this meant that as far as recognition was concerned East Timor was a Portuguese territory until it became sovereign in May 2002.
Well Somalia is no were strong enough to take Somali land and the big boy of the horn of Africa (Ethiopia) doesnt seem to have expansionist ideas currently so i think Somali land has nothing to worry about

ikr!! Countries aren't about whether you like them, if it's got a countries government, a population and allocated territory, it's pretty much a country
You usually don't recognise because you claim it's your territory and then if others support your claim they can't recognise it either. Though it seems "what's a China?" over there is a bit of an exception. The issue is that if let's say Cyprus recognised the Turkish occupation then they cannot claim it's their country anymore, it's basically foregoing your rights. Kind of weird how you can't simply recognise an entity exists and still claim that if it was ever taken over by some entity you decided on then you'd support that. As in "X acknowledge north Cyprus is Turkish territory but if Cyprus was to invade it, X would side with Cyprus provided they actually win because we ain't doing nothing about it other than claim we don't acknowledge that a war happened"

As a Malaysian, it was always interesting to me that our passports said 'travel to all countries except Israel' and those who wish to go there usually need to go via an illegal detour so that you wont attain a stamp on your passport
Same thing for my Pakistani passport!!! I wonder if it’s because of Islam somehow?
because, no diplomatic realationship@@anitanaseer1007
Why would you want to go there? It's an illegal араrthеid regime that tеrrоrizes Palestinian population.
@@anitanaseer1007Of course it is. There are other countries it is probably more pressing to prevent travel to, so singling Israel out almost exclusively by Muslim-majority countries has a clear religious agenda behind it.
@@TLguitar It's not a religious agenda - Israeli Jews are in large part from the diaspora prior to the Holocaust - they are a _different people_ to the Arabs of the region. It's an agenda pertaining to ethnicity, since the Israeli government has been allowing illegal settlements in Palestine, forcing Arabs out of their native homeland and engaging in state violence against Arabs in Palestine.
We're just a few steps short of an all-out ethnic cleansing going on in the apartheid state of Israel, and you're wilfully ignorant of simple reality if you deny this. Israel, however, has a lot of power and diplomatic value to the western world, hence why the Israel is pretty much the only country doing this kind of thing without it being denounced by any western government. No sanctions, nothing. Virtually all international rights organisations recognise that Israel is an apartheid state (as do the _African National Congress_ itself).
All Israeli and Palestinian people should be able to live, equally, in their historic homeland in peace, under a government with _neither_ the Arab Muslims or Israeli Jews having hegemony. All that Palestinians want is fair political representation and for their land to stop being effectively stolen. We know from India and Pakistan that a two-state 'solution' will only lead to a forever war.
Nobody should be persecuted in or forced out of their homeland because of their religion or ethnicity.

Just a correction about the Somaliland thing, it was recognised for those five days and is still recognised today by these countries : China, Egypt, Ethiopia, France, Ghana, Israel, Libya and the Soviet Union when it existed. Oh and you know one thing I find crazy about Somalia and Somaliland, is that they're both allies with both North AND South Korea, which I find slightly crazy.
Respectively or truly?
@@EpicMiniMeatwad if you're talking about the alliance with both Koreas, Somaliland have been in an alliance with North Korea formally since 1967. And the alliance with South Korea was established in 1987, which I think are mainly because of what Somalis export to Korea. Things like Molluscs, Scrap Copper, fish and car parts. And I think the relationship between Somalia and North Korea is genuine enough, because Somalia, Eritrea and Ethiopia have already faced UN Sanctions for their alliance with NK. And one of the key reasons Somalia and other countries in the Horn of Africa are allied with NK, is mainly because of their assistance with the Soviets in Civil Wars. The 1974 overthrow of Ethiopia’s pro-American Emperor Haile Selassie and establishment of a Marxist government in Ethiopia caused the Soviet Union to redirect its military resources away from Mogadishu and toward building an alliance with Addis Ababa. North Korea followed the USSR’s lead, and provided support for Ethiopian forces during their successful efforts to withstand Somali tribal aggression in the 1977-78 Ogaden War. The 1991 collapse of Marxist regimes in Somalia and Ethiopia caused North Korea to adopt a more balanced approach to the region. During the 1990s, North Korea assisted Ethiopia’s counter-insurgency efforts in Eritrea and Tigray with provisions of ammunition, rocket launchers, mortar bombs, and grenades. Despite U.S. attempts to convince Ethiopia to comply with UN sanctions against North Korea, the Ethiopian military authorized a major purchase of North Korean weapons in 2007 to strengthen its counterterrorism campaign, further consolidating the Addis Ababa-Pyongyang relationship.

Man honestly Bhutan is most badass Chad country I've ever seen...... They don't recognise China, They are a carbon negative country meaning they absorb more carbon than they emit, They are still a monarchy but a peaceful one and their winter clothes are really of great quality many bhutani come to my state in India to sell winter clothes......
Also totally random but they don't harm animals for getting meat on their land. They get it exported from India.
And it has no theaters and only 1 airport in the whole country
The reason why Bhutan chose this way is not because it "based" or anything, but rather they are literally a modern puppet state of India that has no say in its diplomatic relationships other than consulting India first. Given by its location, it might be the best choice in a sense it doesn't get involved anway. Nobody gives a damn to Bhutan either way.
@@Hitorie_ Having puppet states is a Chinese thing, not India's. Example: North Korea.

Years back we allowed them to come back, but some of them are trying to restore a monarchy), but I'd might like to live in Buthan, the royalty there seems dope. XD

The people of Bhutan have probably watched western politicians and thought, fuck that.
FIFA has more countries because of things like where the UK is seen as one country, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all have their own football association and so each gets recognised as a separate country.

Lastly, the number of countries that recognize the sovereignty of Morocco over western sahara is more than 91 countries, for instance: USA, Spain, Portugal, Egypt, Austria, Turkey, Germany, The Netherlands, United Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Cambodia and the list also includes a huge number of african countries except for Algeria, Mauritania and South africa.

Fun fact: The current country of Timor-Leste had a very similar situation to Somaliland. Not even a week after the Portuguese left, Indonesia unilaterally invaded and annexed them. This lasted from 1975 to 1999, because Indonesia was never able to break the will of the people there. In 1999, Indonesia left, and the territory briefly reverted to Portuguese rule until independence was established in 2002. Some people say that Somaliland voluntarily joined with Somalia, but that's really not true. It was pre-arranged between the UK and Italy. The local population did not want it.
Europeans completely overlooking what the natives want, just to make things easier on themselves?? I'm shocked... unless I'm not.
The end of colonialism is still casting a shadow over the world, even today. I wonder how long before it doesn't?
Interesting
Correct with regards to the Indonesian invasion - there wasn't even a proper independence transition, Portuguese troops and administration left and Indonesia invaded with tacit US support in order to prevent a potential USSR-aligned guerrilla movement from coming to power. The territory did not revert to Portuguese rule in 1999, though - after weeks of scorched earth violence fostered by Indonesia following the overwhelming vote in favour of independence, the Indonesian government finally caved to international pressure and accepted a UN presence in the territory with a goal to prepare East Timor for independence. It just happens that the UN and most western countries (except Australia...) never recognized neither the Timorese independence of 1975 nor the subsequent Indonesian annexation, this meant that as far as recognition was concerned East Timor was a Portuguese territory until it became sovereign in May 2002.

U don’t care about Transnitria, but it was Isaaqs fault that they fought siad barre for more power. They were lucky other Somalis supported them.

Denying a country’s entire existence has to be the pettiest and funniest way of disagreeing with them
ikr!! Countries aren't about whether you like them, if it's got a countries government, a population and allocated territory, it's pretty much a country
It's an issue when they slaughter and exile my entire family to make their fake banana republic.
It would be like not recognizing someone's existence if they annoyed you.
You usually don't recognise because you claim it's your territory and then if others support your claim they can't recognise it either.
Though it seems "what's a China?" over there is a bit of an exception.
The issue is that if let's say Cyprus recognised the Turkish occupation then they cannot claim it's their country anymore, it's basically foregoing your rights.
Kind of weird how you can't simply recognise an entity exists and still claim that if it was ever taken over by some entity you decided on then you'd support that.
As in "X acknowledge north Cyprus is Turkish territory but if Cyprus was to invade it, X would side with Cyprus provided they actually win because we ain't doing nothing about it other than claim we don't acknowledge that a war happened"
Think more like you are in a house and the propriety is shared but you just go like my house my rules and things like that i guess

Yeah, probably gonna have to update. Taiwan and Somaliland are actually in the process of formally recognizing each other and setting up embassies.
Isn't Somaliland only formally recognized by one "country" that isn't formally recognized by most countries in the world?
It's questionable if that still counts as "partial recognition", like, that almost sounds like self recognition.
@@FlameRat_YehLon your right taiwan and s/land recognized eachother
another country will follow soon
@@husseinhandule the "country" that recognized Somaliland likely isn't Taiwan but instead ROC. With ROC having very limited recognition and Taiwan has no recognition (literally no country recognise any country that's actually named "Taiwan").
Which means the recognition for Somaliland is beyond minimal, and that's only if what recognises Somaliland is ROC rather than Taiwan.
@@FlameRat_YehLon You know there's no such country whose official name is Greece, nor are there any countries that recognise a country called Greece, but rather, it's the Hellenic Republic. North Korea and South Korea are the same; they don't exist officially, and no countries recognise a "North Korea" or a "South Korea", but rather, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea respectively. It's not uncommon for countries to have simplified or common alternative names. In the case of the ROC, it's Taiwan.
@@MessierEighty8 but then, Taiwan is 1. Not the whole of ROC, and 2. Not the whole of ROC's currently controlled territory.
It's just like when people refer to the government of PRC, they might say "Beijing", which by no way means that Beijing=PRC. Same thing for Taiwan, it's just the current capital of ROC, and no more than that.

Most of these are slightly bizarre relics of geopolitics but I really don't get why Somaliland isn't recognised by anyone - it's a fully functioning peaceful democracy surrounded by those wonderful examples of stability and peace and democracy Yemen, Somalia, Eritrea and Ethiopia.

It was a country before somalia aswell joined up with somalia to make the republic of somalia but it wasn't fair for the somaliland in politics bc no somalilanders were in it and a dictator which wouldn't let somaliland in politics so they had war and somalia refused to recognize it to this day
