Somalia is what many people think of when you say "failed state" - so why? Twitter: / h0serr Business Email: h0sermailYT@gmail.com #h0ser #somalia #history
As a Somali living in Somaliland, I would like to say that the terrible bad things happening in our country are the results of the bad backward mentality of the Somalis(clanism, regionalism, religious irrationality, and a whole bunch of other things). It drives me crazy when someone says, "Somalia is poor, BEcaUse oF Colonialism"
It is poor because of colonialism though, colonialism is the reason we went to war with our neighbours and it’s the reason we have shaky relations with many countries.
Given how Somalia is more ethnically homogenous than most African countries you'd think that would give them an advantage. But instead Somalia has been in a state of civil war longer than I've been alive.
I work in government and I once had a Somali official visit my office. He was highly educated and ambitious. He was determined to make his country a better place for all of its citizens and it's the reason why he visited my country. He wanted to learn from our experience and try to apply it in his own country and I could see why. Our countries have lots of similarities in term of geography and socioeconomic conditions. Even personally I had lots of similarities with him, we have the same first name, we have similar hobby, and I found him to be very likeable in general. It's been years now and I'm still waiting for a good news from Somalia. I'm sure he's still working hard now. Stay strong, my Somali brothers. Hope you could get your stuff up together and develop soon. Love from Indonesia.
Well i sure hope your country didnt give them money. Until these people can form some type of unity it would a complete waste of your tax payers money.
Another great video, friend. As a African myself (Nigerian) it annoys me when most people only attribute Africa's current problems to "colonialism or racism", effectively removing personal responsibility of us Africans, and ignore more important factors like geography, climate, socioeconomic systems, political unity and leadership. Thanks for focusing on those areas.
Sadly, many (and in some ways myself) are just too uneducated about the many different African countries. People look for easy ways to explain complicated issues.
@@TheDJGrandPa Yeah, I see your point there friend. Even I, at many times in the past, would try to simplify complicated situations, especially of the political variety until I got more mature and actually did my research.
It is a combination of many factors, you have to point out the issues that are over looked. Geography, Culture, Development, and Oppression are the huge issues. People only oppress you because they can, under development is asking for oppression. Your ignorance is used against your better judgement. Oppression is a factor given the history, being dependant on former oppressors is psychologically damaging, anything can be abused, developing is key.
To ignore the effects of the Europeans on Africa is just as silly as to attribute all of Africas modern problems to the Europeans. Since the end of the Cold War Europe has not been involved in Africa much and (outside of France) it is incorrect to attribute *SOME* current african issue to the Europeans. But at the same time to even imply that the effect of 500 years of slavery and colonialism would not leave a profound mark on the problems africa faces or that half a millennium of colonialism and foreign interference can disappear in just 30 years (end of Cold War) is absurd on its face. Take Congo for example. King leopold killed half the population in an event that killed as many as the holocausts then created extractive industries that sucked the region dry, then Belgium assassinated their first president plunging the country into civil war combined with the fact that when Congo gained their independence there were less than 100 Congolese people who were educated past the age 10 because of explicit laws written by Europeans are the main reasons for congos current problems. *all other factors are secondary* without European interference Congo would not have been in the condition it is in today. Even Nigeria. The unification of the rural Islamic north and the urban Christian south by the United Kingdom is the direct cause of the civil war Nigeria had less than 50 years later. Cameroon is currently having a civil war between English and French speakers that is a direct result of European colonialism. Again Europe is not as involved in Africa anymore but to ignore the very real and current effects of European colonialism on the African continent shows a profound lack of understanding of modern African issues and is essentially just carrying water for colonisers.
@@user-qj9ye1uv8g Actually their G.D.P. goes up and according to them the lack of a government causes it. Of course they downplay the severity of the conflict but then again other regimes with governments are deadly. Clan rivalries go unmentioned despite the centuries long disputes.
Somalia is like the kid in school that was the clown in middle school and you thought he'd get over it after some time but you see them again in the high school reunion and their still the same. Its honestly just sad
Bless you brother and likewise we are grateful for your hospitality, we would like to return to our homeland and bring peace one day. It's a difficult and long road however.
I like how your videos demonstrate that the success or failure of a nation is often a combination of bad geography and the political structure of that nation. The fact that Somalis can find success if they go to a country like the US disproves several racist notions.
Forgot to mention how foreign fishing companies fished off the Somali coast when they were going through a civil war and practically emptied it which resulted in previous fishermen turning to piracy.
@@5aturnia emptied was an exaggeration. But overfishing by foreign companies is a huge issue. I remember reading something like $300 million is lost to “pirate fishing” in or around Somalia alone. There are also so many articles about this issue
If you ever heard about pirates ,mostly they are the ethnic people of that country who didn't get a government that defends them militarically and socially. FG=MOSTLY especially African countries.
As a Nigerian. I know a lot of Somali people and they are absolutely wonderful. They have a great culture, food and values. I really hope things improve in the country.
The country is actually improving a lot thankfully in terms of infrastructure, education and defeating terrorism. Still a long ways to go like ending hunger, improving healthcare, etc but things are wayyy better than before!
Yeah, finally having a permanent central government again definitely helps (even if it only has real control over about 2/3 of the country). You can see it when looking at Mogadishu on Google Earth: there’s been significant reconstruction and brand-new development over about the last decade. The main stadium got renovated, the airport got a new terminal, even a mall.
I am an indian muslim and i had a friend from Somalia he use to work in Kenya everyday and return to Somalia ,but then he got job in Somalia itself but after we had a little fight so we stop talking to eachother then I tried to get in touch with him again but his little brother told me he got killed by someone then I cried and prayed two rakat nafil but at the end I want to say somalian are the humbist peoples I got

The pirates are our coastguards, other countries tried to dump their garbage, and steal our fish while we were at war. But those young men stepped in and sent them away.
@@geraintdearnley4464 Different Groups, those are the terrorists, not the pirates. I don't support the pirates, but I do get where they are coming from.
@ouispaghetti u have been brainwashed, those people are protecting and defending their coastline now the world stopped doing their dumping of waste and stealing fish cos of those young boys, educate yourself before u open your dirty mouth
I'm not sure why people act as if we still have pirates. This past year, Somalia made significant progress in liberating its country and uniting its people. Somali states such as hirshabelle, galmudug, and even the south west are falling under government control, but I always know the good parts will always be cut out.
@@kojokiller998 I've been trying to set up some businesses there and, inshallah, I'll be moving there by the end of 2023. I hope Somalis will follow me; it's time to rebuild.
Can TH-camrs please stop accepting the established titles sponsorship nonsense, the company that runs the website isn't even registered in the UK, they're a company from Hong Kong - it's a flat out scam. They don't even publicly disclose if they even own any land in scotland, let alone the right to bestow lordship. I know it's all fun and a novelty and whatnot, but you could achieve the same thing by just making your own certificate on a piece of paper or on photoshop, it's essentially useless.
Sorta scam, sorta novelty souvenir. You can obtain a title by purchasing land, but the problem with them is that they don't transfer you any land actually, they just mark a piece of their land as it's yours (if they actually own it lol).
Somalia never intended to invade the densely populated highlands of Ethiopia though? They only wanted the Somali inhabited desert planes that they were actually succeeding in taking before Cuba and Russia joined against them. They didn't need to take Addis Ababa they juts needed to secure the Ogaden (which would've been easy as they had the full support of the locals) and then hold it against the Ethiopian military till they gave up.
Unfortunately in the eyes of modern geopolitics it doesn’t matter. Ogaden was a territory under Ethiopias jurisdiction by international law, and unless you were USA or Russia those laws are written in stone. The best we Somalis could have hoped for at the time was a proxy war where we aid the locals and push for a sovereign state. An invasion was not only unnecessary but it weaken Somalia’s military against dealing with internal strife. Im indifferent to Siads regime but I would prefer security by our own people over African union troops and other shisheeye. Somalia was not responsible for NFD or Ogadenia anymore than it was realized for Djibouti. Wadan iyo dad waa kala labo IMO.
Reminds me of an idea that's been fascinating me recently: It's better to know sorrow than to live a life full of mirth, so that your fruit will taste sweeter and your companions feel more welcome.
I always wondered how a country that is so ethnically homogeneous be so divided but then I realize once people realize your Somali they immediately ask for your clan and living in America I never realized how bad tribalism is until I asked my mom what tribe am I and she got mad and asked “Who asked you?” And refused to tell me until a few days later and taught me to keep it to myself That was the day I realized how bad the division was and still is how can we ever be untied if we keep on caring abt clans?
I think it has a context. If the infrastructure isn't there and u only got clanmanahip u hang on to it with all u got. If there was a competing more enticing infrastructure (not just fisical but social, cultural etc) than the clanship would be milder.
@@puraLusa yaah resources and food is kind scarce in Somalia so clans compete instead of working together and us Somali not being centralized makes it ever worse.
@@levia9349 yes but centralized power can also be a problem as it makes the capital absorb all ressources, there is an equilibrium. But yeah, somalia would win a ton if it has the infrastructure pulling peeps to work together.
@@puraLusa but in order for infrastructure to be built we have to be united and centralized. Saudi Arabia had the same clan issues as Somalia but their monarchy eventually centralized Saudi Arabians even if these who in power absorb majority of resources the rest of population can still benefit.
Make a video about the current state of Portugal 🇵🇹, because it is very similar to the situation in Greece so I think it would be good to address this topic since high public debt is very common in the world
This guy oversimplified the situation like he figured it all out, but I think the intelligent people watching this know better. Things are more complicated than you make it seem to be.
Can you explain some of the integral parts to Somalia problems, that he did not explain? or atleast can you point out, where i can read some of th other problems
This video shows the true lack of knowledge about Somalia and is honestly disrespectful. Dude randomly googled a bunch of facts and said "yeh this is where my knowledge stops"
stop being useless and provide some concrete examples. i’ve watched three videos on somalia now where all the comments are stating the same shit. obviously there is western propaganda, but how about you actually cite it. you’re doing the people who are affected by misinformation a disservice by blanket labeling the video as such
As somebody who's mom was a immigrant from Somalia I love and wish better for Somalia. My Grandma was once almost executed while shopping by a soldier because she had a western clan accent but luckily my uncle managed to tell the guards to stop. More recently also my Grandpa was a very smart man who even he was once Barre (a Dictator of Somalia who almost defeated Ethiopia) Daughter's boyfriend and even met him, but sadly while in a school meeting he was killed by a suicide bomber. Edit: I got the "western clan" thing wrong, read the replies for context
@@BroskisunitedEven in Djibouti around 70% of people are somali we dont talk about clans and the only civil war we had was afars and nomads that dint agree with the government and it only lasted three years.
Are they like that now no they aren’t raid ships and take hostages on trade ships who probably didn’t have anything to do with overfishing and dumping trash
@@bigmojito1765 Nearly everything was wrong and outdated. And the poor understanding of the situation made it ever so clearer. Neither is Somalia as divided by tribes as he claims nor is it in such a poor state. He is quite literally reading it off Wikipedia. Shameful indeed.
You are right I noticed this in the comments. Judging by the comments it seems some Somalis can't grasp the ground reality. It's good to have pride in your country but too much will blind you
@@Alexander-sr7qm The civil war and the instability in the country is very overexaggerated. As long as you don't run into the boonies, things will be safe. Somaliland is praised, when in actuality it is even poorer than Somalia and has even worse geography. The civil war has been over for years, and the conflict has been essentially reduced to cleaning up a terrorist insurgency that has taken root it small exclaves across the nation. Living here isn't a live threating choice, and life is actually quite serene at times.
Don't learn from this guy he explains it like a 15 year old child and full of disrespect and lack of understanding there are MANY other videos on TH-cam that are 100 time more educational about this particular subject

For democracy to work there you will hav e to resolve the clan-think issue because people will just vote for their own representative rather than the values of a single individual. If you don't vote for your own clan and everyone else votes for theirs your own clan loses influence.
@@ucube33 Great point! This already happened. We need to educate the people first and fight with poverty. Since tribalism is caused by poverty and uncertainty.
@@aarankayse160 tribalism is a thing partially for this reason due to having no social system in place/having no faith in what exists so they only way to survive is in your tribe to help each other. Food, water, safety and then people can focus on education and other things like planning their life. It sounds easy but when you start from zero with people that have no idea how this idea would actually work and change is scary... Yeah it's hard.
@@ucube33 Yep bro, "hard" will be even understatement. Since international terrorist organizations are controlling huge southern parts of the country. If Somalia stands on it's feet again...it will be a miracle. A miracle that must happen, bcos we got no other options. 🇸🇴🙏🇸🇴
This is what happens when you rely on social media for information: you end up creating misleading documentaries that not only distort the truth but also mislead and deceive the public with false claims and unverified facts.
I think another african country you could talk about is angola. After gaining independence from portugal, it descended to a civil war tht spanned from 1975 to 2002. We have loads of natural resources like oil, agriculture, etc... we arent that bad but we could be better
thank you! I love the visual aid and how you present the history. I tend to lose interest in lectures but this presentation actually easy to understand 😅
That bugs me too! African food is GOOD! The only food insecurity issues are in the Horn of Africa - all other African have lots of food all the time! Have you seen Ugandan or Ghanaian women’s behinds? 😂😂😂
Currently things in somalia looking good. Very good. Due to the civil war a lot off somali people moved to the west. Its those who grew up in the west who are bringing back wealth and unity. The one thing i love about somalia is how cheap it is to live here. The culture is beautiful. To tell you the truth somalia is very beautiful, more relaxing and a better place to be. it just needs peace and stability. I love it in somalia. People here live a good life. Its just many people don't know..for many people don't get a chance to visit...you have to see it with your own eyes to see how nice it is.
uff the production quality and voice over (and overall pacing) in this video is a bit worse than some of your other ones, but it's cool to see how much you've improved then! it shows potential and growth, nice
Clan wars seem to have played a big role. Think about Djibouti and Somaliland, both are dominated by Somali people but they never want to see themselves part of Somalia.
@@levia9349 That one clan co-operates with others though and it was even ruled for 8 years by a president who wasnt from the dominant tribe. Somaliland has built a "Every clan eats" system which is why its been in peace for 31 years whilst somalia burns.
there are a ton of people in djibouti and somaliland that want to reunify, it's actually happening right now in laascaanood (regional capital of the sool region) has faced an uprising after somaliland soldiers shot at and killed unionist protesters. And are now currently fighting a war with somalland to reunify with somalia.
As a Somali I am really confused! I don't know if I want to laugh at foreigners knowing our clan names and factions to the bone or catch depression from it! My people 🇸🇴 are the best when it comes to building a thriving empire but, also the best at destroying one! Now more than ever i feel hope as the capital is booming and now I can get me a life there! InshAllah I hope we don't look back! Personally I am the most patriotic Somali and I don't want to live my life as a foreigner in some white country! I never want my kids to be told ape or some other racist sht! I want them to feel home and develop their nation! I'll teach them not clan factions but it's side effects and harm!

Can you do a video on Algeria please?? I’m Algerian and it’d be so cool. It’s super important now to europe I would love to hear a western perspective on it!! Great video as always ❤❤❤
This video kind of reminds me as to why things have never worked for a centralized state in Afghanistan. People who simply have a way of life and local geography that isn’t conducive with our modern ideas of industrialization and neoliberal capitalism.
That view is incorrect. Somalia had a functioning state and industrialisation was carried out by the Siad Barre government. Civil war after the failed Ogaden war caused the fall
This video is highly misleading, and missed huge talking points, My country is slowly coming back rising from the ashes one thing im confident of its the resilience of somalis 🇸🇴💪🏾💙
Every time I hear an anarchist go on and on about how anarchism is the answer to all the world’s woes, I direct them to Somalia, a perfect example of what true anarchy looks like and I swear to God every time they get pissy and say the immortal “that’s not true anarchism..” People really need to learn that some ideas are good in theory but don’t work in practice…. Looking at you anarchists, communists, fascists, syndicalists (I’ve actually met people into that idea,) etc.
Ditto for communism as after Barre's ouster, Somalia became that true communist utopia. It had no class (just warlords, pirates and ordinary people), state (functioning government) or money (functional economy)
You could say the same about slaves, war, corruption and suffering that has happened under capitalism. Also there's plenty of anarchist communities around the world that are nothing close to Somalia
I don't know if you take viewer suggestions, but would you be open to doing a video on Liberia? Outside of that one VICE documentary, I have no idea what's happening there and they are pretty unique in their history as African nations go.
Correct me if I’m wrong but Ethiopia only switched to communism when Somalia invaded. They knew this would get the ussr to support them since they were already frustrated with Barre before
@@thestealth2448 You are wrong, the DERG was Socialist since the Revolution in 1974 after overthrowing the Emperor (which was independently from Moscow), in fact it was Socialist before the Revolution. Both Ethiopia and Somalia were Socialist allies of the USSR before the Ogaden War.
Your jab at anarchism and Libertariaism in the beginning doesn't really work when halfway through the video you give us the example of actual problem with somalia(clanism system, which isn't even remotely related to anarchism or state)
Man you got almost everything wrong. Look at your clan structure. Isaaq is part of Dir and Ogaden is part of Darod and Abgaal + Habr Gidir is part of Hawiye. Even your history of inaccurate. Stop spreading rubish information.
IGNORANCE IS BLISS Somalia’s strategic geographical location makes it a major player in world economy, international trade, and security. Somalia is a vast country covering over 246,000 square miles with longest coastal in African continent. The majority of commercial ships and vessels travelling around the world pass through Somalia’s Indian Oceans, earning Somalia the nickname “the world’s economic artery.” Not only is Somalia in a strategic location but God has blessed it with natural resources. Somalia it has untapped oil, gas, gold and many different kind of sea and land minerals. It has a huge blue economy potential stretching from red sea to Indian Ocean.

It's time for the international community to finally recognize Somaliland as a sovereign state. These people basically took a flaming pile of chaos and made something out of it it which actually works (in comparison). This should be rewarded, shouldn't it?
Are you still in 1991? Somalia hasn't been a "flaming pile of chaos" in decades. There is no reason to divide the country. That would just start the conflict again.

The majority of the population of modern day Djibouti wanted to join Somalia in 1960 but France basically kicked most Somalis out, brought Afar nomads who had nothing to do with somalis and placed Next to NO voting stations. This led to 22,000 of the 33,000 Afars and only 1,000 of the 55,000 Somalis to vote. The Somali who brought up unification in the first place was suspiciously dead in a plane crash 2 years later.

It took 3 European super power to colonize Somalia we were defeated after world 1 with invention from airplanes, Somalia has always been econamicly stable before the war, we lost the Ogaden war because Rusia and Cuba, Somalia has 1/3 of uranium, Somalia has at least 30 billion barrels of oil and gas reserves, sea full of fish plenty of life stock, the only food that get imported is rice and flower, everything else is local those dry land mentioned have water wales plus raining seasons.
Some SOMALIAN nationalists like to blame this on Ethiopia and Kenya. They say if we have ogaden all our problems will be solved, if we have all of the Southern coast we will be rich of its oil. The best way to solve problems is to fix internal issues not adding more.
The Ethiopia excuse of kind of valid if the invasion never happened the Somali civil war probably wouldn't have happened either. The cards started to fall after Somalia became bankrupted after the war & Somalis already have access to the Kenya oil thing.

It is a combination of many factors, you have to point out the issues that are over looked. Geography, Culture, Development, and Oppression are the huge issues. People only oppress you because they can, under development is asking for oppression. Your ignorance is used against your better judgement. Oppression is a factor given the history, being dependant on former oppressors is psychologically damaging, anything can be abused, developing is key.
To ignore the effects of the Europeans on Africa is just as silly as to attribute all of Africas modern problems to the Europeans.
Since the end of the Cold War Europe has not been involved in Africa much and (outside of France) it is incorrect to attribute *SOME* current african issue to the Europeans.
But at the same time to even imply that the effect of 500 years of slavery and colonialism would not leave a profound mark on the problems africa faces or that half a millennium of colonialism and foreign interference can disappear in just 30 years (end of Cold War) is absurd on its face.
Take Congo for example. King leopold killed half the population in an event that killed as many as the holocausts then created extractive industries that sucked the region dry, then Belgium assassinated their first president plunging the country into civil war combined with the fact that when Congo gained their independence there were less than 100 Congolese people who were educated past the age 10 because of explicit laws written by Europeans are the main reasons for congos current problems. *all other factors are secondary* without European interference Congo would not have been in the condition it is in today.
Even Nigeria. The unification of the rural Islamic north and the urban Christian south by the United Kingdom is the direct cause of the civil war Nigeria had less than 50 years later.
Cameroon is currently having a civil war between English and French speakers that is a direct result of European colonialism.
Again Europe is not as involved in Africa anymore but to ignore the very real and current effects of European colonialism on the African continent shows a profound lack of understanding of modern African issues and is essentially just carrying water for colonisers.

Forgot to mention how foreign fishing companies fished off the Somali coast when they were going through a civil war and practically emptied it which resulted in previous fishermen turning to piracy.
Somali Pirates = Self-funding Militia Coastguard
I’m Somali. They didn’t empty the whole coast..the largest coastline in Africa. That’s absurd
@@5aturnia emptied was an exaggeration. But overfishing by foreign companies is a huge issue. I remember reading something like $300 million is lost to “pirate fishing” in or around Somalia alone. There are also so many articles about this issue

@@Cabdikadir_xusein True 😢
Somalia never intended to invade the densely populated highlands of Ethiopia though? They only wanted the Somali inhabited desert planes that they were actually succeeding in taking before Cuba and Russia joined against them. They didn't need to take Addis Ababa they juts needed to secure the Ogaden (which would've been easy as they had the full support of the locals) and then hold it against the Ethiopian military till they gave up.
Unfortunately in the eyes of modern geopolitics it doesn’t matter. Ogaden was a territory under Ethiopias jurisdiction by international law, and unless you were USA or Russia those laws are written in stone. The best we Somalis could have hoped for at the time was a proxy war where we aid the locals and push for a sovereign state. An invasion was not only unnecessary but it weaken Somalia’s military against dealing with internal strife. Im indifferent to Siads regime but I would prefer security by our own people over African union troops and other shisheeye. Somalia was not responsible for NFD or Ogadenia anymore than it was realized for Djibouti. Wadan iyo dad waa kala labo IMO.

I always wondered how a country that is so ethnically homogeneous be so divided but then I realize once people realize your Somali they immediately ask for your clan and living in America I never realized how bad tribalism is until I asked my mom what tribe am I and she got mad and asked “Who asked you?” And refused to tell me until a few days later and taught me to keep it to myself
That was the day I realized how bad the division was and still is how can we ever be untied if we keep on caring abt clans?
I think it has a context. If the infrastructure isn't there and u only got clanmanahip u hang on to it with all u got. If there was a competing more enticing infrastructure (not just fisical but social, cultural etc) than the clanship would be milder.

He is playing happy Somali wedding music in the background while he tells our sad story 🤣
Somali is not poor because of colonism..its poor because of its backwords people whom their religion is tribalism and poor goverment
What about Eritrea? I find it hard to believe that Somalia is the worst country in Africa to live in today.
Eritrea doesn't have much statistics cause of their dictatorship.
It's not the worst far from it Somalia has made massive progress in recent years this guy has a agenda against Somalia just look at his channel.
It's time for the international community to finally recognize Somaliland as a sovereign state. These people basically took a flaming pile of chaos and made something out of it it which actually works (in comparison). This should be rewarded, shouldn't it?
Are you still in 1991? Somalia hasn't been a "flaming pile of chaos" in decades. There is no reason to divide the country. That would just start the conflict again.
@Harry Lincoln who told you this poolsh*t, there is no such a thing exist in Somaliland, we doing great
@Harry Lincoln wtf nope somaliland is peaceful and democratic for over 31 years
@Harry Lincoln really? I’m from Somaliland I’ve seen nothing you have mentioned. Care to show us exactly which Jihadi warfare or clan issues there are in Somaliland? How about you stop lying Mr Somalia
There is active Al Shabab that charges miners in eastern SL near the mountains. They ship their weapons from SL & PL. The Somali army needs to send its Navy to protect the Northern waters to stop the movement of illegal weapons.
Established titles is still a scam (if a harmless one).
You can call yourself a lord on your bank card without that piece of paper and you can't get an official coat of arms (yes, those exist for proper scotish lords) in Scotland with the paper
@@Axevaud they claim you can buy a title which they don't sell. (as the reason they claim it works being Scotland which doesn't recognize their titles) if they were to market it as fake titles it'd be a novelty (and they could expand to give you certificates saying stuff like you're the Kaiser of Sealand) but the way they work is a snake-oil scam (something I'd absolutely buy as a novelty, but would call out if marketed as medicine like it was back in the day)
Did you ever think that ES is like Treedom or you are so naive to think that is a serious thing?
@@ANDREALEONE95 maybe I use the word scam a bit to liberally, but their marketing (at least on youtube) makes the tree planting a secondary thing in the same way Krombacher does (definetly not a treedom, just a German beer brand) and it makes the titles out to... Well exist.
Deceptive marketing at the very least
Love your videos
Minnesota ended up having a lot of Somali immigrants here in the US. I never ended up learning about the conflict that brought my school friend's family here until now
Yea but this video isn’t true
Where did you get the number about the nomads from? It was during the early 90s that 80% of the population was nomadic. Now over half are urban.
The majority of the population of modern day Djibouti wanted to join Somalia in 1960 but France basically kicked most Somalis out, brought Afar nomads who had nothing to do with somalis and placed Next to NO voting stations.
This led to 22,000 of the 33,000 Afars and only 1,000 of the 55,000 Somalis to vote.
The Somali who brought up unification in the first place was suspiciously dead in a plane crash 2 years later.
In the end that was the correct decision for that country.
@@nrbmemes2414more like the worst.

Clanism is the destructive issue with Africa. A place where many groups live together, but cannot thrive together.
Thank you for the great uploads Mr H0ser
Good video but in case you hadn’t heard about the drama, established titles is basically a scam, lots of TH-camrs are dropping them as a sponsor. Might be a bad look to keep it in the video.
Nothing in this video is true
As a Somali we thrived when we were city states and only coming together to fight against Ethiopians. Take me back
You guys aren’t very bright that’s why
Waa istaahishaa jawaabtaas! Yaa ku dhahay na sharax 🤔
@@Joejohnson17281😁 Says who mr Jo? Your ignorance or your lack of understanding Somali history. That’s why?
I say that because if you are well-read and had the ability to understand than you would have known that intelligence is not the short comings of My people! But again I have no doubt when you know better that you’ll do better. Peace 😜
It took 3 European super power to colonize Somalia we were defeated after world 1 with invention from airplanes, Somalia has always been econamicly stable before the war, we lost the Ogaden war because Rusia and Cuba, Somalia has 1/3 of uranium, Somalia has at least 30 billion barrels of oil and gas reserves, sea full of fish plenty of life stock, the only food that get imported is rice and flower, everything else is local those dry land mentioned have water wales plus raining seasons.
Some SOMALIAN nationalists like to blame this on Ethiopia and Kenya. They say if we have ogaden all our problems will be solved, if we have all of the Southern coast we will be rich of its oil.
The best way to solve problems is to fix internal issues not adding more.
The Ethiopia excuse of kind of valid if the invasion never happened the Somali civil war probably wouldn't have happened either. The cards started to fall after Somalia became bankrupted after the war & Somalis already have access to the Kenya oil thing.
@@ogolow570 i heard the communist government of Ethiopia funded some somali rebels as revenge
There is no ethopi identity and ethopi is balkizng nothing in this video is true

I love that Tale of 2 Citiez is running while talking about the differences and separation of the north and south.
I wanna see how many people are gonna mention that Established Titles is a scam
If SNL rose in popularity, we know it wasn't Saturday Night Live.
Truth
If you decided to become a pirate in 2015, I respect the grind.
Sounds like a mess they made all by themselves...
Established Titles is basically a scam.
