I really hope to see Somalia united and stable again as it was long time ago. Those who think Somalia has always been a horrible place, I advise them to read history; Somalia was once a stable and prosperous country inhabited by educated and civilized nation. We love you Somali people..Best wishes and greeting to all Somali people from the people of Sudan.
Ismail Noor You not right in the head Somalis united are force to be reckon with that’s why kenya snd Ethiopia are scared of it. Ethnic Somalis number are 50 million souls
I am a somalian from Djibouti i hope one day my people and Somalia which i always consider as my second country will rise up and become again the great somalia my brothers and sisters i love you from Djibouti. Somalia haa Nolato Cadowgega naa haa Jabaan.
@@Touris-b2e somalia is in no position to unite with djibojti that is doing a lot better ..somalia is a failed state and the poorest most corrupt country kn the world ..it needs to get rid of terrorism al shabab and unite Somalia first ..kick out foreign soldiers .make the whole country stable ..only then can Somalis evem talk about unity with Djibouti
Faysal abdi lol Somaliland is built upon tribalism. I say this as someone who is from burco; Somaliland literally only has Isaaq people, how can you be free of tribalism
Kwa kina ndugu wa Somalia, mimi ni mkenya na ninamtakia kila la heri. Tafadhali tuko pamoja kwa imani. Bila shaka kutakuwa na amani Somalia. All i have said for those that might not understand kiswahili is, as a Kenyan and to my fellow Somali brothers and sister, I stand with you and one day we shall have peace in Somalia. I urge my fellow Kenyans and the Somali brothers to see if we can work together and have some form of federation for the two countries. In my honest opinion Kenya working with Somalis especially from the diaspora we can change the attitude of our people and create a peaceful Somalia with a political federation of the two countries and her people. Love💘 and peace from Kenya.
Somalia would have been a powerful state had it not been partitioned into regions by imperialists/colonialists. They are one people with one language and one religion - that alone is quite extraordinary. If only somali people could put clanism to aside and unite, they can be a very strong, powerful country in the world. Somalis - remember forming small region states based on clan will never succeed and only empower your enemies around you who don't want to see a functioning, successful, united country called SOMALIA. I hope & pray somali people realise this sooner rather than later especially the younger generation. You have got a beautiful country with huge resources & the longest coast in Africa!!
Forget about the past, Somalia has had so many chances but the educated peoples who could instigate the infrastructure and development needed all ran away to live on benefits in Europe, The Islamic international community was too busy paying for arms and mosques to promote their ideals of salafi sharia community, whilst the normal people starved and died...colonialism happened, its done, cannot be undone, Somalias problems are the problems with human nature, greed, corruption and a lack of communal empathy..Had it not been so easy for the people to flee they may have had no option but to rebuild and invest themselves in the future of the nation.
I’m so happy that there are Somalis who think like you. Clanism is our biggest problem; we literally have one people, one religion, one culture and one language yet we are desperate to hold our selves back in terms of financial progression purely because of clanism? Do you see how imbecilic that sounds. Inshallah I hope my people realize we don’t need these clans, it’s even infected the diaspora. I see so many teens my age(18) wearing Somaliland, Puntland, jubaland, konfuur, galmudug and Ogadenia bracelets on their wrists and celebrating different independence days. It’s honestly heartbreaking man😓
Jai Nepal I agree with you, leaving the country was a mistake many of our parents made. But inshallah I know a lot of Somalis my age who have realized living in these countries is not our eng goal. Inshallah my plan is to finish uni, and come to Somalia and use my knowledge to rebuild the greater Somalia and to spread the message of stopping clanism. It upsets me so much when my mum tells me of her blessed child hood in Somalia and how her sibling went to university in Somalia and her parents were teachers and engineers, growing up as a diaspora we have had to deal with stuff we didn’t need to. Inshallah all the Somali diasporas think like me and won’t to go back to rebuild a powerful nation thy we can be proud of
Al Jazeera you suppose to add Somalis have the largest economic business in Kenya 🇰🇪 Ethiopia 🇪🇹 South Africa 🇿🇦 Zambia 🇿🇲 ugandaa South Sudan 🇸🇸 United emirates and also here in Minneapolis Minnesota in America even in Europe we the people of change just don’t focus negativity in Somalia 🇸🇴
We have lived a harsh life for more than two decades. We have made the resilience we could. I am expecting the mercy of Allah will come in the near future. God willing.
As a Kenyan am quite sorry for the decisions our government takes sometimes, especially with the US involved. Somalia is NOT a failed state...my hope is high, and as the world power dynamics change, I hope Somalia will rise back up..
Jordan Left I know we are the same people, It's weird to see Somali saying who are you, which clans are you from. Somalis fighting each other. In Djibouti everyone help each other out. Thanks for your comment.
Warsame Warsama Yeah, tha's also weird. I wasn't aware of the clans until recently though and that doesnt exist in my country. We really dont care which ethnic group they're from either. I follow somalifaces and they talked about this women that was looked down upon for being "midgan" which is a clan and there is literally no difference between them genetically, like wow.. And let's not start with the somali bantus.
Warsame Warsama Yup, thats great. We have a little more than 2 in my country (9 actually, including afars) and we also work together for the future I think. It's mostly Tigrinya people who dominate politics.
The generations who fled the country i hope their expreince where they live will help their country if they came back and take part to the rebuilding of the country i hope generation like me who born during civil war we have passion to see our country to be peace and prospour Inshallah.
all Somalia needs is peace with our resources and Somalis hard working people i am sure within short time somalia can be economic power house for that to happen al-shabaab and tribalism in politics and in social must be tackled
one day is one day and i'm sure insha allah we will come back as before and beter...... dear brothers and sisters let's start from anti tribalism and anti qaad compaing.........somalia hanoolaato
Alxamdulilaah we back now thanks to allah somali we dominate again insha allah soon somali we’re ever they go around the world they help their own family and friends regardless who they are and that’s what i can call success viva somali
October of 2023...I truly hope Africa can unite and we can all grow together in peace...it is possible..Somali, yes you can...This Kenyan has a lot of hope for Somali and for Africa
***** Yeah! I think they wear this in Massawa (many different ethnicities.. yemenis, saudis, saho, afar, beja.. many more and even somalis) I'm not aware of lowland culture though which is sad!! I have never been to the lowland except massawa which is my favorite city aswell! Hands down, the lowlands are filled with history and beautiful architecture.
***** I want to go to Hargigo though, since it was a part of the ottoman empire aswell, so it's probably some good architecture there. Asseb would be so different from what I am used to so I would love it.. but as I said before.. hahah it's not worth it.
Can't Somalis stop killing each other. Prophet Muhammad Salalahu Alayhi Wasalam forbade the killing of another Muslim and you guys have been goin on for 30 years non stop killing.
Thanks Al jazeera for your great presentation about Somalia. Only things I do like to urge to all the Somalian communities regardless end the tribal ship, love,dream and work to rebuild your united Somalia for your self-existence and for the Ummah.,
Saba no it’s doesn’t I’m Isaaq and I love muqdisho its my capital city, plus stop tribalism. Tribes should only be a signifier of ones history and family lineage only, nothing more and shouldn’t correlate with politics at all
Be somali never be hopeless never give up stand together each other help be somali you are not lonely rich culture I love you all somali brother and sisters I can't live with out see somali people
Everything also I agree, but in the modern history, Somali people had has standed together one time and tht one time they created whts we call today's Somalia, I wish thts will happen again. Speaking of seeing Somali people, I live in a country where I might see a Somali person ones a month or every three months, And I swear by the name of Allah, those r the happiest days of my life.. May the mighty shows us the right path again.m
As i am typing this now and this in the darkest place i have ever been. I have to ask myself too where is that little boy with big dreams...where is he.. is this it...for me... Have to get up say Alhamdulillah NNOWW.
You will be judged by the Most High on the Last Day so no-one judge this mongrel. Let him type as he pleases. Because we all know what will happen if he were to actually say it to a Somali. And you can really see he has no life, he's been commenting on every single video on Somalia and its rich history and bright future. Get a life mate.
I live in Minnesota. Politically speaking, it is one of the best American states to live in. Minneapolis and St. Paul are multicultural hotbeds in the midwest. I work at a public school and many of my students come from families who moved to the U.S. from the horn of Africa.
wow, there are almost twice as much Somali refugees in Canada as there are in US. Living in Minnesota, I thought we would have topped the list. And with the new executive ban I wonder how it will affect all those living outside of Somalia.
Somaliland, puntland, and jubaland are peaceful and have functioning governments. Mogadishu is plagued with warfare and I don't see a rising Somalia if Mogadishu remains to be the capital. Somali leaders must hand over the capital to northerners and let them develop Somalia. This problem that continues to plague the heart of Somalia will be fixed instantly.
Abdifitah Abdirahman, I think you would like to send wrong message to outsiders. hmm, Puntland is worst part of somalia, the civil war is going on Mudug region, the parts of Bari region are under control of ISIS, so what kind of Puntland you talking about? indeed Jubbbaland authority don;t control 10% of it's land
If the whole south is not safe then why put your capital in the south. It's been 25 years since the start of the civil war. Don't you guys think there must be something wrong with the idea of not moving the capital in the north. Puntland did experience some alshabab attacks but they were able to destroy them in a week while all these ex warlords in xamar who used to kill each other like rats are now too afraid to fight alshabab relying on Amisom for protection. Move your capital to Bossaso or garowe so more people can star investing in Somalia. This problem in the south is something only southerners can fix. They need to unite and solve their problem. for your information, many countries such as turkey, Nigeria, Pakistan have ongoing armed conflicts but they still have functioning governments because they don't have their capital in their worst part of their countries.
It's terrible when you live in a terribly-run, wartorn country. But why is it the West's problem to solve all the problems of the inhabitants of a country like Somalia? Somalis need to solve their own problems and make their country something good.
A country to completely solve its own problems, it needs to has the chance to be its own, let by it's people, decide, by it's society, and capable enough to regain its self, Somalia Do NOT SIMPLY HAVE any of these. To understand these I wish you to find out the history of Somalia in the past 17yrs.. I unfortunately promise to you, tht u will cry inside as I am right now
Yesterday afternoon a tree cutter knocked out power, cable and internet to the house, I was very cranky and verbal about the whole thing. Watching this documentary today I feel like such a tool for complaining about losing services when so many have quite literally nothing.
Thanks for bringing us the light on Somalia... But, I also heard about Some countries dumping their Industrial & Nuclear waste in Somalia? How far is this true?? Were there any methane extraction project, or anything of that kind which made the fertile land in Somalia into dry arid land?? Are these arguements true??? @Al Jazeera English !!
Yes they are and it is happeining as we speak now, people living near by sea have been experiencing a very strange diseases lately, millions of dead fish is pushed out of the sea and very strange climate and disasters were seen too. Some times huge closed barrels were washed out of the sea by the waves and no one knows what is inside.
at 28:50 the man speaks about "Khat" which is drug famous in Yemen as well. specially where the current rebels are staying. this drug has destroyed Yemen, the main part of the problem is that the people of Yemen considered it as part of their culture.
Somalia was united country now remember pp fought on tribe war and government fought with other parts of unity that how somalia was dead 💀 is only possible to divide the two sides by giving them equally rights British side and Italian side just like Djibouti which was part in Somalia
Education and languages r two different things,... I do personally speak 13 languages, yet am still uneducated. Subhaan allah, I understand wht you mean, insha'Allah Arabic will be the leading language again, The latest at youmul akhira. 🤗
85,000 Somali refugees in America? There are more Somalis than that in the Twin Cities area alone in Minnesota. They must not be including Somali "immigrants" in that statistic, who are basically refugees under a different name.
Studying of these. there actually around 135,266 (total Somali ancestry) which 85.700 were born in Somalia. So by the time this video was made, they were talking about. (OF THOSE WHO BORN IN SOMALIA ). I hope thts helps 😀
This video was referred to me randomly from TH-cam. I have always had bad thoughts about Somalis. I am sorry about their plight. Africa needs real challengers of the political systems starting from the AU
Totally agree. The language of the Muslims should be Arabic. If you want you can hate the corrupt leaders of the Arab Wahhabi countries but don't hate the blessed language which the Qur’aan was revealed in.
Somali ppl are multy cultural society , we speak different language, some speaks Arabic, and they have right to speak their mother langugae, no one can force them to speak somali, they are originaly Yemen and Oman, other speak Swahili, like BRAVE AND BAJUN, we also some clan speaks OROMO language like Garre tripe, those who criticise the girl in this documentary for speaking Arabic are nomand people, they have never been big cities like Mogadishu, marka, brave etc
Because this documentary isn't about islam, It's about somalia and therefore somali should be spoken if she knows the language. Arabic should be her second language as a somali, and somali her first. But personally I didn't react on it at all, clearly they don't see that arabic = islam in this situation. Since the arab league is something they see as negative and associate (obviouslly) the language with itself. They want to leave the arab league and the language is included aswell.
leeb1 adam- who is not Somali, you or me?, let us speak somali then, reer xamar luqadooda ay guriga uga hadlaan waa carabi qaarkood, ii sheeg luqada ay ku hadlaan reer baraawe, baajuun miyaanan ku hadlin af sawaaxili, saaxiib waxaa tahay reer koraad ka soo jeedam,iyiga fog ee soomaalida soo kala baro
Their "war on qat" is misguided. Drug prohibition ALWAYS makes a problem worse. Qat is a mild stimulant which isn't terribly addictive. These are CLINICAL facts, not what "some guy" interviewed here, experienced. Public drug policy must be run by facts, not some guy;s personal bad expience. D.A., J.D. (defense attorney and drug policy writer) NYC
Almost 25 years, Somaliland is independent, peace and save. Aljazeera didnt pin-point that out. Shame!!!! Somalia and Somaliland are two different countries
Omer Gaheir omg you are so stupid!!😂 No one knows Somaliland everyone knows Somalia because it's a country, Somaliland is not a country you're really sick.
somaliland held it down for Somalia they refused siad baare regime SNM (somaliland national movement) fought back and restored some faith in somaliland, but it's a shame we still see division as one of the problems we face still which is tribalism we need to unify both country's as greater Somalia but there's to much corruption on both ends, I ask allah only that we pray for one another not just Somalia or Somaliland, but for Syria Palestine, Yemen, these times are very difficult to live in ameen
We have all come scathed from the said barre regime thousands have been killed in tribalist wars.Its time to change Somalia from the bottom up. "Everything under heaven is in utter chaos; the situation is excellent," Chairman Mao Zedong wrote in a letter to his wife on July 8, 1966. This was the height of the Cold War.He believed we must embrace chaos to cause radical change this is our opportunity to change Somalia into a place for Somalis!
We will never ever ever ever reunite with Somalia ever again do you know how much we've contributed to that failed state and what did we get in return? Our cities bombed our people killed and torched 1960 was the first and last mistake we ever made we need to have self respect for ourselves because he did not deserve any of that Somalilanders is what we are Somaliland is and always will be our country and nobody can take that away from us
How can the government let outsiders fish in our waters and make billions on the sale of the fish to their wholesaler. While the Somali fishermen are struggling to survive? It is an act of war for foreign ships to be in our waters. They have to buy the fish from our fishermen and pay us the billion dollars and they take 15 percent. Not the other way around it is our fish. First we have to make sure our Somali people have enough fish to eat and sell. What ever we have left over; we will sell at top price our sea is rich. Get rid of that official who is letting them steal and rob our waters. Where is our army? That would be a good job for them to protect our sea the fish belongs to all Somalis.
But why you used Somalis in Ethiopia and Kenya you don’t even know the history they’re in their home their regions Somalis in Kenya it don’t mean they’re refugees the colonies gave our territory in Kenya and Ethiopia so don’t use Kenya and Ethiopia as refugees
we are not in 1500s.. every country has a border..somalis in kenya live there as kenyan citizens, not somali refugees.. its like mexico saying mexicans living in california are mexicans not americans.
this story make me speachless and destress but finalyy somalia reborn again somali government anounced to eliminate all terrorist gruiops against government
I believed the problem of Somalia isn't terrorists such Alshabab and Qaacida at large, it is not tribalism and related issues It is only because of poor and corrupt leaders who are have less responsibility of the people and their land. Its only my opinion and may not be the facts
Islamic Reminders Channel well, have ever seen the news lately.t there is same sort of massacre in almost all Muslims countries. So it's not a Somali problem only it's Muslims problem.
i think they called khawarij even our Prophet Muhammad warned us of the rise of religious extremism in this age in astonishing detail. 1,400 years ago, he prophesized that a time would come when nothing would remain of Islam but its name, nothing of the Quran but its word, and that many “Mosques would be splendidly furnished but destitute of guidance” (Mishkatul Masabih). In these latter days, the true spiritual essence of Islam would be lost, and religion, for the most part, would be reduced to a ritualistic compulsion. He foretold that the clergy would be corrupt and be a source of strife during these times.
Miraa or khat was there even during Moses time when God spoke with Abraham, OK khat is illegal in the world, Somali. but selling pornographic film is OK, forcing and selling Somali 👩 👭 women into prostitute is legal. THiNk.

As i am typing this now and this in the darkest place i have ever been.
I have to ask myself too where is that little boy with big dreams...where is he.. is this it...for me...
Have to get up say Alhamdulillah NNOWW.
35:00 its good to know that the Kenyans he is talking about are also Somalis. Even those multimillionaires are also Somalis.
Very interesting and informative.
Somalia is the real clash of clans
***** fighting and breeding just to kill each other
why always media recording somalia bad news and never recording good pictures the media is ennamy of somli and islam
You will be judged by the Most High on the Last Day so no-one judge this mongrel. Let him type as he pleases. Because we all know what will happen if he were to actually say it to a Somali. And you can really see he has no life, he's been commenting on every single video on Somalia and its rich history and bright future. Get a life mate.
Why are most of the refugees interviewed based in Minnesota?
I live in Minnesota. Politically speaking, it is one of the best American states to live in. Minneapolis and St. Paul are multicultural hotbeds in the midwest. I work at a public school and many of my students come from families who moved to the U.S. from the horn of Africa.
Hail SOMALIA ❤❤❤
wow, there are almost twice as much Somali refugees in Canada as there are in US. Living in Minnesota, I thought we would have topped the list. And with the new executive ban I wonder how it will affect all those living outside of Somalia.
in shalaah somalia wey soo noolaan cadawgeeda iyo kan u qarinayaba daaqaday kawada bixi
Somaliland, puntland, and jubaland are peaceful and have functioning governments. Mogadishu is plagued with warfare and I don't see a rising Somalia if Mogadishu remains to be the capital. Somali leaders must hand over the capital to northerners and let them develop Somalia. This problem that continues to plague the heart of Somalia will be fixed instantly.
Abdifitah Abdirahman, I think you would like to send wrong message to outsiders. hmm, Puntland is worst part of somalia, the civil war is going on Mudug region, the parts of Bari region are under control of ISIS, so what kind of Puntland you talking about? indeed Jubbbaland authority don;t control 10% of it's land
i am from jubaland its not peaceful and large chunk of its territory is still controlled by al shabaab
The only peaceful region is Somaliland and Puntland.
If the whole south is not safe then why put your capital in the south. It's been 25 years since the start of the civil war. Don't you guys think there must be something wrong with the idea of not moving the capital in the north. Puntland did experience some alshabab attacks but they were able to destroy them in a week while all these ex warlords in xamar who used to kill each other like rats are now too afraid to fight alshabab relying on Amisom for protection. Move your capital to Bossaso or garowe so more people can star investing in Somalia. This problem in the south is something only southerners can fix. They need to unite and solve their problem. for your information, many countries such as turkey, Nigeria, Pakistan have ongoing armed conflicts but they still have functioning governments because they don't have their capital in their worst part of their countries.
Abdifatah Abdirahman you cant just move a entire capital to the north. it doesn't work that way lol
one day we will get up united as one muslim somali nation and we will get revenge from all our enemies.
It's terrible when you live in a terribly-run, wartorn country. But why is it the West's problem to solve all the problems of the inhabitants of a country like Somalia? Somalis need to solve their own problems and make their country something good.
A country to completely solve its own problems, it needs to has the chance to be its own, let by it's people, decide, by it's society, and capable enough to regain its self, Somalia Do NOT SIMPLY HAVE any of these. To understand these I wish you to find out the history of Somalia in the past 17yrs..
I unfortunately promise to you, tht u will cry inside as I am right now
When did we ask the west to solve our problem? It has brought more problems than needed
What an ending On part one with the man talking about his ghatt addiction!!!!
Yesterday afternoon a tree cutter knocked out power, cable and internet to the house, I was very cranky and verbal about the whole thing. Watching this documentary today I feel like such a tool for complaining about losing services when so many have quite literally nothing.
Thanks for bringing us the light on Somalia... But, I also heard about Some countries dumping their Industrial & Nuclear waste in Somalia? How far is this true??
Were there any methane extraction project, or anything of that kind which made the fertile land in Somalia into dry arid land??
Are these arguements true??? @Al Jazeera English !!
Yes they are and it is happeining as we speak now, people living near by sea have been experiencing a very strange diseases lately, millions of dead fish is pushed out of the sea and very strange climate and disasters were seen too. Some times huge closed barrels were washed out of the sea by the waves and no one knows what is inside.
at 28:50 the man speaks about "Khat" which is drug famous in Yemen as well. specially where the current rebels are staying.
this drug has destroyed Yemen, the main part of the problem is that the people of Yemen considered it as part of their culture.
Somalia was united country now remember pp fought on tribe war and government fought with other parts of unity that how somalia was dead 💀 is only possible to divide the two sides by giving them equally rights British side and Italian side just like Djibouti which was part in Somalia
that was old somalia, why you report this time?
MD Neeri
You make no sense
And also you will find a somali people in every country in the world 🌎
wow she is very educated fluent arabic
Education and languages r two different things,... I do personally speak 13 languages, yet am still uneducated. Subhaan allah,
I understand wht you mean, insha'Allah Arabic will be the leading language again,
The latest at youmul akhira. 🤗
Arabic, English, somali, she is very nice girl
Hallaa Somalia we Are From
masar Fircoon☺
85,000 Somali refugees in America? There are more Somalis than that in the Twin Cities area alone in Minnesota. They must not be including Somali "immigrants" in that statistic, who are basically refugees under a different name.
Studying of these. there actually around 135,266 (total Somali ancestry) which 85.700 were born in Somalia. So by the time this video was made, they were talking about. (OF THOSE WHO BORN IN SOMALIA ).
I hope thts helps 😀
The social climate reminds me of the Italy during the Renaissance.
were you there?
This video was referred to me randomly from TH-cam. I have always had bad thoughts about Somalis. I am sorry about their plight. Africa needs real challengers of the political systems starting from the AU
That is shocking that you think millions of people are bad. That speaks volume of who you are as a human being
Insha Allah the buifull days will be back , we just sabur and harward
How can people criticise the girl in this documentary for speaking Arabic? The language of ISLAM, are you not MUSLIMS?
Totally agree. The language of the Muslims should be Arabic. If you want you can hate the corrupt leaders of the Arab Wahhabi countries but don't hate the blessed language which the Qur’aan was revealed in.
Somali ppl are multy cultural society , we speak different language, some speaks Arabic, and they have right to speak their mother langugae, no one can force them to speak somali, they are originaly Yemen and Oman, other speak Swahili, like BRAVE AND BAJUN, we also some clan speaks OROMO language like Garre tripe, those who criticise the girl in this documentary for speaking Arabic are nomand people, they have never been big cities like Mogadishu, marka, brave etc
Because this documentary isn't about islam, It's about somalia and therefore somali should be spoken if she knows the language. Arabic should be her second language as a somali, and somali her first.
But personally I didn't react on it at all, clearly they don't see that arabic = islam in this situation. Since the arab league is something they see as negative and associate (obviouslly) the language with itself. They want to leave the arab league and the language is included aswell.
qub qac somalis are multi cultural? and speak different languages? i doubt u r somalian
leeb1 adam- who is not Somali, you or me?, let us speak somali then, reer xamar luqadooda ay guriga uga hadlaan waa carabi qaarkood, ii sheeg luqada ay ku hadlaan reer baraawe, baajuun miyaanan ku hadlin af sawaaxili, saaxiib waxaa tahay reer koraad ka soo jeedam,iyiga fog ee soomaalida soo kala baro
ya allah somalia
l know in somalia have bajuni and somali bantu and barawei ethnic group.
Their "war on qat" is misguided. Drug prohibition ALWAYS makes a problem worse. Qat is a mild stimulant which isn't terribly addictive. These are CLINICAL facts, not what "some guy" interviewed here, experienced. Public drug policy must be run by facts, not some guy;s personal bad expience. D.A., J.D. (defense attorney and drug policy writer) NYC
Hallaa Somalia we Are Frome masar Fircoon☺
30:32 lmaaoooo 😂😂😭😭
Never give up
Hopefully Somalia should understand the history of the country British and Italian colonial territories and unity or separate
REMEMBER SOMALIA WAS SWITZERLAND OF AFRICA GOD BLESS SOMALIA
Any Somalis know what Abdi Warsame done ? Heard he was a famous man at the time of war
Famous for what? Elaborate it
Almost 25 years, Somaliland is independent, peace and save. Aljazeera didnt pin-point that out. Shame!!!! Somalia and Somaliland are two different countries
Omer Gaheir omg you are so stupid!!😂 No one knows Somaliland everyone knows Somalia because it's a country, Somaliland is not a country you're really sick.
They did talk about Somali land.
I am pretty sure that the guy in 36:40 is of the majeerteen clan.
somaliland held it down for Somalia they refused siad baare regime SNM (somaliland national movement) fought back and restored some faith in somaliland, but it's a shame we still see division as one of the problems we face still which is tribalism we need to unify both country's as greater Somalia but there's to much corruption on both ends, I ask allah only that we pray for one another not just Somalia or Somaliland, but for Syria Palestine, Yemen, these times are very difficult to live in ameen
We have all come scathed from the said barre regime thousands have been killed in tribalist wars.Its time to change Somalia from the bottom up.
"Everything under heaven is in utter chaos; the situation is excellent," Chairman Mao Zedong wrote in a letter to his wife on July 8, 1966. This was the height of the Cold War.He believed we must embrace chaos to cause radical change this is our opportunity to change Somalia into a place for Somalis!
We will never ever ever ever reunite with Somalia ever again do you know how much we've contributed to that failed state and what did we get in return? Our cities bombed our people killed and torched 1960 was the first and last mistake we ever made we need to have self respect for ourselves because he did not deserve any of that Somalilanders is what we are Somaliland is and always will be our country and nobody can take that away from us
18:05 nope those were Somalilanders not Somalis
44:03 :D -Let that be a warning to whoever meddles in Somalia's internal affairs.
Mini Mogadishu is he talking about church road
somalia need leave arab league.
Ethiopia Christus.Skin head stop hating
Ufff you're Ethiopian with aids ewww
How can the government let outsiders fish in our waters and make billions on the sale of the fish to their wholesaler. While the Somali fishermen are struggling to survive? It is an act of war for foreign ships to be in our waters. They have to buy the fish from our fishermen and pay us the billion dollars and they take 15 percent. Not the other way around it is our fish. First we have to make sure our Somali people have enough fish to eat and sell. What ever we have left over; we will sell at top price our sea is rich. Get rid of that official who is letting them steal and rob our waters. Where is our army? That would be a good job for them to protect our sea the fish belongs to all Somalis.
yes we did change.
No!! Just say, YES WE WILL BE BETTER, inshaa allah
Imagine idoor and darood fought and migrated from Somalia and yet meets in a foreign country as refugees 😂😂😂😂😂
Dhulbahantu minority why are you hidding your clan lol
@@Touris-b2e am not Dulbahante bro
The UEL Somali girl looks like a young Lisa Kudrow :)
But why you used Somalis in Ethiopia and Kenya you don’t even know the history they’re in their home their regions Somalis in Kenya it don’t mean they’re refugees the colonies gave our territory in Kenya and Ethiopia so don’t use Kenya and Ethiopia as refugees
we are not in 1500s.. every country has a border..somalis in kenya live there as kenyan citizens, not somali refugees.. its like mexico saying mexicans living in california are mexicans not americans.
I dont undestand when people say tribalism is the one killing somali and according to my understanding somali has only one tribe which is somali
Clannism and foreign interference
this story make me speachless and destress but finalyy somalia reborn again somali government anounced to eliminate all terrorist gruiops against government
I believed the problem of Somalia isn't terrorists such Alshabab and Qaacida at large, it is not tribalism and related issues
It is only because of poor and corrupt leaders who are have less responsibility of the people and their land.
Its only my opinion and may not be the facts
If we need peace we must leave Arab league
Somalia was never labeled The Switzerland of Africa 😂😂
Wara hara somale
this so call anti tribalism most of them are ignorant about social circumstances that gives a way the tribalism to survive.
+shishisennin Why can't Somalis be Muslims first and stop killing. The Prophet Salalaahu Alayhi Wasalam forbade the killing of another Muslim.
Islamic Reminders Channel well, have ever seen the news lately.t there is same sort of massacre in almost all Muslims countries.
So it's not a Somali problem only it's Muslims problem.
i think they called khawarij even our Prophet Muhammad warned us of the rise of religious extremism in this age in astonishing detail. 1,400 years ago, he prophesized that a time would come when nothing would remain of Islam but its name, nothing of the Quran but its word, and that many “Mosques would be splendidly furnished but destitute of guidance” (Mishkatul Masabih). In these latter days, the true spiritual essence of Islam would be lost, and religion, for the most part, would be reduced to a ritualistic compulsion. He foretold that the clergy would be corrupt and be a source of strife during these times.
***** what you mean 'muslims killed Ali and uthman'.
You make it sound like they had different religion.
We send back alot of money rebuilding a gain
Khat is mild stimulant? Like coffee or tea? They spend millions? I presume other Somalians are making those millions?
Carab baan raacnay
Most of all this ""previous" African continent, promote. Pandemic relief upon PTSD, natives accepting close loved ones end of life!
this documentary is very misleading, somaliland is not part of this chaos..
So that one Somali politician passed legislation to help “East Africans” and “Latinos” what about all your other african brothers ? Smfh
My dear friend @Hebraw thoughts.
One has to start building his own house before moving to the neighbor ones ..
Miraa or khat was there even during Moses time when God spoke with Abraham, OK khat is illegal in the world, Somali. but selling pornographic film is OK, forcing and selling Somali 👩 👭 women into prostitute is legal. THiNk.
Uganda we need change and better Uganda
