Ghost Of Erk Russell They offered to dig our oil and exploit it like they did to Nigeria (basically stealing it and not benefiting the country economically at all), we refused. We will develop on our own and when our government is stable, we will make use of that natural oil we have.
This video actually made me smile... until I read some of the hate filled comments below. You really can't fix stupid. Anyway, I hope Somalis find the peace their looking for.
This was such a beautiful piece, as a Somali girl living in the west, I really wish now that my country never had a war and I had a life back home, hopefully one day I will be able to return and live there. Thank you vice, excellent job.
I hope to one day see countries such as Somalia and many other's progress and move forward, maybe it won't happen in my lifetime or the next but I hope that they will someday do, the people on these countries are always beautiful, they see a camera and they smile regardless if they have enough to eat or not.

its all about the suez canal. somalia is strategically located at the mouth of the red sea leading to the suez canal. there are various places around the world that are of the upmost importance to control because of their location. any country on the coastline of the red sea or the Mediterranean is important. the location of somalia and ethiopia are so strategic that the inhabitants can literally stop the flow of international trade that must flow through that region or be forced to sail around the entire continent of africa. that is why Egypt was so powerful in ancient times and is the reason for israels criminal takover of palestine. its about trade. whoever controls those regions is automatically a global superpower.
100% correct. look at a map and it hits you square in the face. keep them divided and poor. never mind that as recent as the middle ages Ethiopia and somalia dominated the red sea.

comanxrabiotxverratixnecib thats not the "reason" they look different because they were a bit isolated for a long time from other africans. If "new" africans came into thier gene pool, then they would resemble them more too, but I guess something blocked them.
Just looked down through these comments and am so angry at the amount of prejudice. This video was informative and fresh and honest and the people lovely and well spoken. So why all the hate? Some people need to take a long look in the mirror before they start condemning others.
I've heard some negative things about Somali immigrants in the U.S., UK, Sweden, etc. but I know some great and friendly Somali people. Somalia as a whole is progressing and developing. Hopefully it can become a first world country.
Nader Abed Ignore them, they’re simply just white nationalists who hate Islam it’s even racist art of European politics too be against Islam what a shame.
Are some people just commenting without watching video, they are in no way harming you so why show so much hate toward them thousands of miles away in your comfortable homes. They are doing the best they can with hell they were born into show some respect.
I worked in little mogadishu, toronto, for awhile and interacted with somali refugee families regularly. They were just like everyone else: trying to get-by.
As a proud Active Duty U.S Army Soldier that has been deployed on a tour to Afghanistan. I'm still proud to say I'm Somali(born in Mogadishu), and that I love my people very much. As many in our generation we the youth have been displaced and shall one day find our way back home, inshallah. BUT its up to us to make the difference, lets up-lift each other and steer away from the "Crabs in-a-bucket" mentality. Thanks Vice for showing my beautiful people and they're smiles even through times of adversity.
Religion didn't cause Somalia demise. It was racism,hate, and greed which was embedded into the DNA of the clan leaders of the time. We have people like that in ever society, some overcome them some don't. For Somalis case the greed and hate engulfed it.
Tony Micheaux we always separated from the negriods the only white people who come to our peninsula were Italian, British and French. You have to Thank Italian colony who freed your Bantus brother who were enslaved by Somali masters.
i am discussed by all the comments, they are either racist or about how somali people look different, or blaming islam for what's happening. this is why i like locking myself in my room and not be sosial. its because people like you. what difference does it make if i look different from other fellow africa, we are meant to look different that's why we are called the horn of africa, africa its self is different. my point is if we where not meant to look different then we would all be living in one continent and look the same.
Look You need to learn how to write in english, i did not understand a Word You wrote. Who said i was not muslim And somali. Go to school first then come back And talk to me.
So many nasty comments here. People should really educate themselves before presenting themselves as idiots. People that call Somalia a shit hole must realize that they've gone through a civil war (and are still today fighting Al-Shabab terrorists) for over 20 years. War isn't pretty. Google old pictures of Mogadishu from the 60s and 70s and you will see why it was nicknamed the "white pearl of Africa". Somalia also enjoys the longest coastline in Africa with great tourism potential. The country is slowly but surely finding peace and it's being re-built. The country also has a lot of natural resources, a young work force and a relatively low population. With the majority of Somalis being in the diaspora, the potential for FDI is huge. To Somalis, I'd say ignore the comments. Focus on strengthening your community and developing your country. With good leadership, Somalia will be one of the best countries in Africa. Peace from your Ethiopian neighbor.
Biggs2804BWP how come you can say that about Somalia but I can’t say that about Sweden? I’d be called a nazi, but you gained no hate whatsoever from this
Thanks for a well done video that reminds of a constant truth: There are people everywhere who not only believe in a future of peace, but who are committed to working towards that future as well, not just for themselves but for their communities, their country and our world. Thank you for linking together people who care about these things. You give me hope.
Beautifully shot - but contains some ironically funny and heartwarming moments! Amazing to see the inner workings of a place that seems so far away from reality. I especially love the traditional poetry!
my country was in civil war for over 20 years which destroyed it economically and socially, it started recovering just in the last 2 years and it's recovering well. i hope it goes back to it's good days and better, and i can't wait to go back soon!
Many of them seem to work and live a happy life. I wish all of the somalis a good future and a good life and ignore thr hatred people are putting towards you people.
I don't see the problem with Somalia. They have democracy. Just look how great Countries like Iraq and Libya is now after America gave them "FREEDOM". Democracy is always good right? RIGHT?
To call the post-invasion governments of Iraq and Libya democratic is a bit of a stretch. Plutocracy, patrimonialism and neo-colonialism are by my definition not democratic. None of these “democracies” are led by the people themselves. They are generally infested by vested interests through systems of capitalism and statism.
I found this very beautiful, in that they cover a place known to many westerners only for war, and show in small daily moments the similar humanity that stretches across our world and links us even if we dont see or acknowledge it. It showed the vitality and hope that flourishes beneath an old and stubborn conflict. There is a glow that animates each face they present... A contagious and effervescent joy that refuses to be oppressed no matter the circumstance. And what a talented poet to serve as backdrop!
God bless this once beautiful country and hope that it returns to its normal state in the very near future. This country has been robbed of all its glory May god bless all the innocent civilians
Maybe it's just my interpretation of this video, but I see an almost beautiful peace in the people of this city in such sharp contrast to the attacks happening around them. They smile, they find joy, and they find the celebrations of life while others with short sight and bitter hearts try to destroy.
Religion isn't evil in and of it self it can be used for wrong but so can every thing. Zealots in any why of thinking are time bombs plan and simple. No single ideology can be picked out of a hat and called evil. Other then racism and the like as the old saying goes "There is only one good knowledge and one evil ignorance." Socrates
Its not relegion, it has more to do with poor education. I admit, if relegion is interpreted the wrong way it can bring harm but i can also bring peace to people that have lost so much in their lives. I'm an athiest btw.
It's good to see that, after reading "The World's Most Dangerous Place," that al-Shabaab is finally pushed out of Mogadishu. Now, it's up to the more educated Somali's from abroad, to come back, and help Somalia to get rid of the "Failed State" label for good.
One day inshallah I strongly believe if muslims keep praying Despite the test Allah puts them through and keeps strong faith through these troubled time for muslims we will get an award in this world as an ummah western nations cannot imagine whilst it's also true we have a lot to learn from them but we shall never compromise on islam and become carbon copy western nations want us to become
fareed abdul mumin Alright but without using violence and killing is probably the best. (There's already so much violence in the Muslim world) Use Da'wah instead :)
The problem isn't Muslims, it's Islam itself. If Muslims from all over the world dislike the west then why do so many move here? For a better life. Better than any Islamic nation.
It's impossible to build a decent state upon the koran or islam. Islam is not tolerant, it discriminates other beliefs and women, doesn't encourage creativity and has a strong inclination to violent fanatism. Somalia is destroyed by islam, just like Syria, Iraq and so many other places. With a book as the koran or a warlord as Mohammed, violence will never stop. Islam is wrong in its fundaments.
Thank you! Thank you! Vice for including poetry There is no somalia without her poetry. And just quick bit on that poet guy I know most things get lost in translation but i think you could've done better on the translation. Thank you. "hooyaalla hoyaalayey hoyaalayey heedheh" still calling on the old gods i see.
I read the comments before watching and I literally do not get it. Why all of the hate. All I saw were a bunch of loving people that seemed like outstanding individuals that I would be glad to have in any society.

So many nasty comments here. People should really educate themselves before presenting themselves as idiots.
People that call Somalia a shit hole must realize that they've gone through a civil war (and are still today fighting Al-Shabab terrorists) for over 20 years. War isn't pretty. Google old pictures of Mogadishu from the 60s and 70s and you will see why it was nicknamed the "white pearl of Africa". Somalia also enjoys the longest coastline in Africa with great tourism potential. The country is slowly but surely finding peace and it's being re-built. The country also has a lot of natural resources, a young work force and a relatively low population. With the majority of Somalis being in the diaspora, the potential for FDI is huge.
To Somalis, I'd say ignore the comments. Focus on strengthening your community and developing your country. With good leadership, Somalia will be one of the best countries in Africa.

One day inshallah I strongly believe if muslims keep praying Despite the test Allah puts them through and keeps strong faith through these troubled time for muslims we will get an award in this world as an ummah western nations cannot imagine whilst it's also true we have a lot to learn from them but we shall never compromise on islam and become carbon copy western nations want us to become
we have to kill nationalism first
fareed abdul mumin Alright but without using violence and killing is probably the best. (There's already so much violence in the Muslim world)
Use Da'wah instead :)
The problem isn't Muslims, it's Islam itself. If Muslims from all over the world dislike the west then why do so many move here? For a better life. Better than any Islamic nation.
It's impossible to build a decent state upon the koran or islam. Islam is not tolerant, it discriminates other beliefs and women, doesn't encourage creativity and has a strong inclination to violent fanatism. Somalia is destroyed by islam, just like Syria, Iraq and so many other places. With a book as the koran or a warlord as Mohammed, violence will never stop. Islam is wrong in its fundaments.
+Abdullah Tariq Why do you blame "western nations" for everything?
Thank you! Thank you! Vice for including poetry There is no somalia without her poetry. And just quick bit on that poet guy I know most things get lost in translation but i think you could've done better on the translation. Thank you. "hooyaalla hoyaalayey hoyaalayey heedheh" still calling on the old gods i see.
Somalia could be extremely prosperous if the people united, a wonderful nation with very charismatic people
Sad to see what has happened to what was a beautiful city in Medieval and Modern times. Serious props to these people for keeping their spirits alive.
I read the comments before watching and I literally do not get it. Why all of the hate. All I saw were a bunch of loving people that seemed like outstanding individuals that I would be glad to have in any society.
I love the reaction of the interviewers when Zainab told them she got arrested
is it just me or are somali black people better looking than other black people?
it's cuz East Africans have a different type of look compared to the rest of Africans, doesn't mean their better looking tho.
Ikram Shire All...you sure you wanna put your Money where your mouth is?
Dont make me send you pictures
:D
Lukeeiiee Based on what standards?
It's because they have Arab blood. Most of them are Muslims. When the Arabs conquered they married from the native african people.
Also the official language of Somalia are two : Arabic and Somali. It's also worth noting that 20% of Somali(language) is actually Arabic vocabulary.
the best video I've see on youtube in 8 year
