The Geography of the Horn of Africa
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2024
- The Horn of Africa, consisting of Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti and Somalia is sticking out of eastern Africa and contains extreme examples of fertility and barrenness, summits and depths, and prosperity and despair.
Join in on a journey across the breathtaking Ethiopian Highlands which tower over Africa, the extremely hostile Afar Triangle which lies at the wake of three tectonic plates, and along the barren Somali coast with its turbulent history and challenging natural geography.
Chapters:
0:41 The Ethiopian Highlands
4:51 The Afar Triangle
8:25 Somalia

It's much better than I could do, but he still has a ways to go before he closes the gap with, say, Johnny Harris.
@@compromisedssh Harris has a dedicated team, by that logic , Harris's representation and facts are very miniscule compared to Indian Educator Dhruv Rathee who literally has an army of fans on TH-cam and elsewhere.
every oceans begins with a drop, be patient.
@compromisedssh I'm going to take that as a compliment that you even compare me to Jonny Harris! He has an entire team behind him and even teams up with the developer of the map tool we are using for some videos. That is opposed to me, by myself, only having time for editing in the evenings after my normal full time job. But yeah he is incredible and definitely an inspiration when it comes to motion graphics and maps
Eritrea my beautiful country the mountains have protected my people for centuries “ we have no friends but the mountains” one of my favourite quotes, proud highlander

Is the most precise quote of how we got protection

Oh since do bots start barking?
Well said brother 👏
Don’t buy this video, it is not scientific or Geographical information it is purely speculation BS paid by hidden hands. Eritrea and its landscapes will live for centuries to come!
The entire Horn is Somali and in fact was called that always. Only in recent times after colonialism they started to add these other countries because the Somali regions got added to Ethiopia and Kenya which are Somali inhabited
Ethiopia is older than Somalia by several millennia, Somalia was invented by the British and Italians.
@@Denit. it was not invented bruh it existed for a long time too also they were in the harar region too but now in the Ogaden
Before 1960, there was no country called somalia.
@@shiresheege before haile salase there is no country called ethiopia ( literallt ethiopia means burnt face ) that means ethiopia was created by europeans . If you mean abbysinia we know all how small was .
@@Denit. Somalis possess a unique genetic signature that distinguishes them from other African and Middle Eastern populations. The COLONIZER may have burned our libraries and indoctrontrinated our minds but the truth shall set you free, eventually. Kingdom of Punt, arrival of Islam in the 7th century AD, The Sultanate of Ifat, The Adal Sultanate etc. Your statement is just like the classic philosophical question of "which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
Eritrea 🇪🇷 Somalia 🇸🇴 Ethiopia 🇪🇹!! May peace be upon you. Very important nations in the horn
Horn is just Somali inhabited lands stop pushing it
@@thisguy2372 I’m not pushing anything fool
@@dalac_93 why you adding random people? British empire gifted Somali inhabited regions to Abyssinians and helped to create fake Ethiopian state that never existed , looks like you never opened a book in your life or you’re just one of those delusional Aidstopian Zionists
You should’ve included Djibouti
SOMALIA PENINSULA IS NOT A DESERT. YOU ARE MISLEADING VIEWERS.
he doesn't know nothing about somali
They only portray their western view but know nothing about Somalia. Its very funny
Totally!!! It’s PS!
11:52 I love how you perfectly aligned the recommended video onto the map. Now Im going to watch it just cause of that
I’m proud to be a Somalian ❤❤ Somalia 🇸🇴 is the Only Country in East Africa have Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden sea 🌊 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴✅
Bro, you can love Somalia but why are you lying? Yemen, Oman, Djibouti, Eritrea, are all gulf of Aden and indian ocean states. The I dian ocean goes upt to the suez canal.
Soomaali / Sōmāli, certainly not Somalian😂
somali not somalian…
Still dreaming and thinking genocidal ideologies, wake up and smell the ocean.
It's everybody's
ethiopia will get many ports
the flora and the fauna of the Somali desert is rich and diverse and is very identical to the Kalahari desert's flora and fauna. your assumption of it being empty is unfounded. also, it is not a true desert but just like the Kalahari a semi-arid ecoregion.
Yes its very diverse. Not all of somalia is desert. There grasslands, savannah lots of diversity
I was thinking the exact same thing.
My parents came from Ethiopia. I'm proud to be Ethiopian ❤
Its a fake state created by Christian colonials Somalis in Ogaden region don’t even call themselves Ethiopians, Aethiopia is ancient name of African continent you just adopted that name and colonials helped you with more lands
@@thisguy2372 wrong try again your just hater that has nothing positive to say. Don't be obsessed with Ethiopia because we don't think twice about You. Hopefully you learn love instead of hate.
@@bt.437 Ethiopia is a fake state there 5 genocides happening right now, the people in those region don’t even belong together my family is from Ogadenia (the Somali state in Ethiopia) the British empire gave that state to Ethiopia in 1954 we were never part of “ethiopian” bullshit we share nothing with you why are you lying, only Abyssinia existed and it was tiny mountainous region until the white colonials came and gave you everything
@@thisguy2372Yes and? That makes Ethiopia more legit than a fake "Greater Somalia" made up by people who live in a country that was invented by the British and Italians and think they deserve more because of ethnic relations to wandering nomads that have been living in Ethiopia for centuries, and would rather live in Ethiopia than the most fragile state in the world.
@@bt.437it's ironic you say that yet your prime minister can't even stay away from Somalia he literally wants to annex parts of it or all of it with his socalled H.O.A initiative 😂

I’m from Somalia and it’s quite weird that my country is so arid even though it’s on the equator and the eastern side of the continent. Which usually means that it should be quite wet( like in eastern South America, Asia and Australia)
I’ve always been so confused by this! On the east coast *and* tropical but still dry
@@princeofchetarria5375 ethiopian Highlands
At school, they should've told you the trade winds run parallel to the coastline. Thus not yielding much précipitation
It's because of the Ethiopian and Kenyan highlands
The Ethiopian highlands is the cause for Somalia to be dry in what is called 'the rain shadow effect'
Why are you trying to divide somalia 🇸🇴 Greater Somalia is the horn of africa. You did not research well
Eritrea good name for a country ❤❤ I love this name
Fascinating. I know almost nothing about that area and really appreciated this video.
Ethiopia has 5 civil war ongoing but all praise I see, keep it neutral across the board, don’t separate countries
One of your pictures of the Ogo Mountains is actually a place in Australia - the Blue Mountains. Might need to double check that picture...
Australia is as dry as the Horn of Africa
The horn Africa is just basically the Somali pinnsula

Divide and role was the one of the colonialism's tactics , Somalia will not let you into a trap.
Yes the british in particular had something against somalis,
Can you tell me before 1960 was there a country called somalia who ruled the whole somali areas in the horn of africa?.
Divide and Rule and not Divide and Role, you mean of course.

You are misleading people . The area is called somali peninsula not horn of africa that is a new name . It only consist greater Somalia Area. 80% of the video you are talking about ethiopia. Ethipia doesnt belong to "horn of africa" . The rift valley separates us . Horrible misleading video.

For you to be unique and different, the rest of Africa would have to be identical. North, East, Southern, central and west africa don't really have much in common with each other except that you all share land.

thank you reporter
A federal state of Somalia
When you were talking about Ethiopia, you didn’t mention the worst starvation humans witnessed, the fact there is a civil war took them apart for many years and still going on. But when it comes to Somalia you immediately started talking about politics, war and the some of the regions of Somalia are about to secede. I wonder why? Why didn’t you only talk about Somalia’s geography as you did about Ethiopia?
The worst famines in world history were in the ussr and china , plus ethiopia has more international recognition when compared to the other parts of the horn.
That weird twist from a geography video to a totally unrelated/erroneous political propaganda when he came to Somalia was hilarious. 😂
Its the Zionists behind all this shit never give them views
Oh I found my blood. Maakhiri here too ;)
@@TheHeroIsRisingUp lol Yes fam.

A propaganda video that conveniently went from geography to political affairs when it reached Somalia. It is easy to spot it. A fact not mentioned in this video is that Somali ethic reside in the largest land mass in the Horn of Africa; from Djibouti, Somali region of Ethiopia, North Eastern region of Kenya, to the Federal Republic of Somalia - together known as THE GREATER SOMALIA.
Exactly, he didnt talk about ethiopias problem. But the second he reached somalia he was salivating ready to talk about how it invaded poor poor ethiopia. STOP TARGETING GREATER SOMALIA
There is No county or boarder line called Somalia before 1965' Somalis are nomadic clans moving around anywhere and everywhere to find food..Ethiopia has been there as a Nation for Thousands of Years.
But it’s facts, landhera nimo iyo qabilaysi is not gonna fix your country
Greater Somalia doesn't exist lmao ogaden belongs to Ethiopia
The way I understand it is Somaliland in the north declared independence in 1991 and most countries recognize SomaliLand and consider Greater Somalia to have ended when the north declared independence?
Wow. I knew absolutely nothing about this geology and geography of this region bar for the name “Horn of Africa”. Thank you for this detailed and informative upload

Well researched and presented. Kudos on Somaliland explaining the situation as best as you can. Almost entirely historically accurate. Just mention Somalia was decolonised on 1st July 1960 via Italy, 5 days after Somaliland (26th June 1960 from the UK). Making it … “the junior country”. The “Act of Union” was never signed or ratified… making Somaliland’s sovereignty… never nullified. Hopefully Somaliland will be out of the shadow of a failed state fairly soon!
Lmao wrong

Very cool geo vid, I'm surprised at the Ogo mountains, very different from the rest of Somalia.
Animation is top tier, but why did you change to the usual commentary for Somalia? You will have a great edge over basically every geotuber if you dig into the social geography, it will confine you less to the lines on the literal map plus you will have a ton of extra coordinates of motion to go hard on the animation! Don't sleep on sociology in geography!

I’m from Somalia 🇸🇴, and your understanding of Somaliland is totally wrong. There are many tribes that reside in northern Somalia, and one of those tribes calls itself Somaliland, based on the idea that all of northern Somalia wants to secede from the rest of the country. Recently, there was a tribal war in northern Somalia between the Dhulbahante tribe (“SCC”) and the Isaaq tribe (“Somaliland”). As a result, Somaliland only controls 30 percent of northern Somalia. I hope this helps
Itoobiya hanoolaato from soomalilaan😂
Lies the D tribe only lives mostly in lascanood one city in ssc the rest is isaaq strong hold. So yh...
The Republic of Somaliland is going to be the newest superstar in Africa.

Horn of Africa Geographically is Blessed indeed Has the potential to be one of the world's most developed spots but the problem is
Ethnic,clan politics,Religous (Islamic) Extremism and too much Foreign interference which support nations in the region to fight their neighbors and plunge it into chaos.
This is mainly seen in the case of Ethiopian state even though it has large water and agriculture potential it always keeps on begging for food and aids from foreign Donors who control its foreign policies which are most of the time to invade other neighboring states like Eritrea,Somalia..etc
Or Somalia which since the fall of Said Barre relies on too much Arab donations who export their Islamic extremism into the country which is now one of the main reasons why it has no internal peace.
Hopefull someday this region (HOA) will be cured from all of this and give it's ppl the home they wished for centuries now.
Who invaded whom? Ethiopia never invaded Somalia. Also, the Eritrean case is very different and was not an invasion. Yes, we have been begging for food, but that was due to an underdeveloped agricultural sector affected by seasonal drought and civil war fueled by historical enemy countries like Egypt, which doesn't want Ethiopia to be independent. Dude, there's nothing to be gained by invading Somalia-it's just desert and sand.
@melkamargaw2970
Lol how is invading Eritrea not an invasion?
And what about 2006 Somalias?
@@HolaBruv The 2006 intervention was intended to support the Somali Transitional Federal Government because the Islamists posed a threat to our national security. It wasn't about conquering land; we helped establish the federal government and then left. Our intervention was to assist the Somali people in restoring stability, not an invasion
Ethiopia ❤
Taiwan and Australia also have diplomatic relations (though not full diplomatic recognitions) with Somaliland. Taiwan, in particular, made pretty big news in 2020.
Also, Somalia is a failed state, but Somaliland is very much functioning, even though the world ignores it.

Its sleazy to act as if the "communist coup" was a period of failure for Somalia when it was the cold war's intersection with Somalia's communist period that caused the decline of Somalia as a communist country i.e. Soviet support for Mengistu over Siad Barre.

This video is clearly propaganda against Somalis I just asked chatgpt which cities are the biggest Addis abba or Mogadishu. (land area), Mogadishu is larger than Addis Ababa.
• Mogadishu covers an area of approximately 635 square kilometers (245 square miles).
• Addis Ababa covers an area of around 527 square kilometers (203 square miles).
So, while Addis Ababa has a larger population, Mogadishu is geographically bigger in terms of land area.
East Africa means 80% Somalia 🇸🇴
