James Harrison It really is I went to the coast and bro it was empty Nice white sand and blue Indian Ocean But it was just absolutely empty Nobody there lol
James Harrison it was beautiful well modernized country before 1991, it was known as the Switzerland of Africa and the capital Mogadishu was known as the white pearl of the Indian Ocean. Somalia has the longest coastline in mainland Africa with the most beautiful beaches. If it was peaceful right now it would’ve been a tourist heaven like old days but sadly none of the regional countries wants that to never happen again. But we will finally win against our geopolitical enemies.
Horumarka Dalka Yh but that's the thing If you look through history It was somalis who built Mogadishu It was somali people who traded as far as medievalist Ming china It was somali people who established trade with Indians, Persians, Arabs etc the Ajuran somali Empire was the only hydraulic empire in Africa. Somali people were the first people to defeat a European power in Africa Somali vs Portuguese empire Somali navy defeated Portuguese empire who were known for their extreme naval strength Look at all of this And you know that right now somalia is just suffering because of mistakes made by stupid people We can make it great again but we have to seriously get rid of tribalism
Our neighbours Somalia. I pray for this country with very beautiful beaches and hardworking people to gain peace. And stand on their feet as one. I know they will one day. I have hopes. Lots of love from Kenya
@Razor Ramone there is no civil war anymore just a divide among Somalia due to the civil war.

When you spoke about 'greater Somalia' at 2:00 you should've mentioned that greater Somalia is what Somalia's flag represents( the five sided star represents the 5 Somali regions).
Such a gorgeous flag honestly. I didn't know that either, but it sounds amazing. I can only imagine the light blue represents the water off the coast of the Indian Ocean and the white symbolic of what he said being the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean." Looking at a design like that makes one hopeful for the potential in such a nation.
@@cloin6 the sky blue color represents the Clear somali sky(due to Somalia having clear beautiful blue skies all year round). In the national flag anthem= Qolabaa Alankeed (every nation has its own flag), it states that Somalia's one is like the clear blue sky without the clouds and we love it. * inagaa keynu waa * cirkoo kala ee * aan caadna Laheyn * ee caashaqayee

Somalia should focus on rebuilding itself rather than living in the past, of colonial borders and clan representation. All the people want is a better future, the somalis in kenya and ethiopia are living much better and safer life there, so claiming land is not the solution. They should as well abolish clanism and adopt a federal system of governance as a substitute to accelerate their country's economic growth. Make peace, not war.
Arasky I agree with you 21%. most African nations are poor largely due to colonialism and weak democracies. I know Somalia will surely rise again...but with the geopolitical technicalities that come along with a greater Somalia, I can say with confidence that a greater somalia is a pipe-dream. It's wise to build what you have first, then seek greatness later.
again I know that kenya and ethiopia want a stable and peaceful region(which works for everybody's interests). Thats why they gave their soldiers (even despite having many casualties in the ensuing war) to somalia to help fight al shabaab. Otherwise they could just have protected their own borders from intrusion. Give credit where it is deserved brother.
Daniel K lol u do know Ethiopia is highly suspected of funding alshabab hahaha which is not a suprise considering it's In their interest along with Kenya to have a destabilised Somalia since a strong Somalia like the one in the 70s means irrendentist policies and somalis wanting to retake their territory in both countries inhabited by ethnic somalis which was the cause of the 1977 ogadem war..and not to mention Ethiopia being landlocked, a weak Somalia means easy access to their numerous ports btw Somalia has the longest coastline on mainland Africa ..so there are many reasons for these countries to have a weak Somalia ..Their involvement in Somalia is merely a charade as they have their own geopolitical interests at heart..One thing is certain..at one point Somalia will stabilise and return to pre-civil war levels ..Once they do that they have the resources to develop at a fast rate and catch up to other regional economies. .with such prosperity they will undoubtedly reassume their irrendentist policies of wanting to retake their territories in Ethiopia and Kenya either diplomatically or militarily. .that's inevitable..as long as somalis exist and the country is stable and they aren't dealing with other problems like terrorism,foreign interference,disunity amongst themselves..They will always end up wanting their lands back and at one point it will lead to another war believe me..I hope I'm alive so I can support it by joining the army or govt amiin ya rabbal alamiin

Foreign intervention CAN be good if well executed and if the removal of the leader will actually improve the country. The US invasion of Grenada was a good intervention, as were some of the Soviet liberation of Eastern Europe (the soviets were bad but better than Hitler in areas like Poland), and the interventions by the Allies in Western Europe during WW2 as well. Japan was improved by the invasion in WW2. Afghanistan was a shit show but it did improve their country since the Taliban were terrible. The first invasion of Iraq was necessary in preventing Saddams wars of aggression in places like Kuwait and Iran, but the second war was a mixed bag. Many of the Soviet and American interventions in South America were a mess though. The key is you have to have a necessary reason to intervene, the intervention has to be carried out to improve the country, you need clear goals before hand, you have to follow up any intervention (rebuild infrastructure, help establish a fair government, etc.), the locals need to oppose the leadership, and you cant just carry out the war for your own reasons.

Maybe want to drop out I don't know if you are like me, but it was not until the third year when i figured out the lie of college or university. So I would call to gain information on my loans for instance right and the person on the other end told me that interest on the loans increased every year. I was already looking at 3 to 4 % interest rate, which is high enough. That is how they get everyone in debt and trap them. The biggest scam in American History, if you ask me, but they don't warn nor tell you about any of this. You grow up to realize that it might have been better to have never step foot onto a college or university campus and just began work. But easy mathematics can solve a lot of that problem. Just lower the interest rate(s). And as for a work is concerned. A lot of the jobs anyone applies to or for do not even require a college or university degree. I have read many of the requirements from several numerous employers. So why not just say this to students who are in high school ? And not push the envelope of pursuing a college degree ? Because then, people would not feel as if they have been deceived in any way by the same principals, teachers and administrators who are and were supposed to be properly advising them in the first place ? Also they also never or do not tell you that you will be harrassed to make monthly payments. Thanks... And on the topic of the medical world. A magnetic resonance image or scanning is no more than $500. I mean, just think about. The medical facilities are supposed to be providing a service. But I was away at James Madison University for a minimum of two years and from experience, it is not worth it. All I got out of it was a psychological disorder, which I needed to go to therapy for. And going back to the cost of an MRI. At that affordable price. No one would need these insurance cards and the insurance companies will be out of business. That is just an analysis.

I think most are interesting once you dig into their histories, it's a major reading project of mine in the future. I'm British so I'm first of all trying to connect with my own nation's history (the history taught to me in school was severely lacking), but once I've done enough of that I want to explore the history of the world, firstly by looking at the British Empire and then by looking at the histories of the places that became part of the British Empire, specifically India and the British parts of Africa. It's so obvious that it never gets said and so no-one remembers it but while your country was having its history other places were having their histories, everywhere in the world has a history, but because you can never teach it all most people will only learn about the history of wherever they're from because that's what their school system prioritises. Although some school systems don't even do that very well.
*The Somali people are people who speak the language of the Pharaohs, a Cushitic language; and who still share many of those cultural traits and articles (Was scepter = hangool...). They were the first Africans, to make contact with China in trade as well as skirmishes. They were also able to defeat the Portuguese Navy at the height of its power, in an area where they were especially interested in, looking for that ancient Saint Prester John. They were also the first to be attacked with airplanes in all of Africa; after dislodging the British colonialists* *They have been trading for many generations as far as China. Along the coast there are grave sites with Chinese porcelain dishware inlaid into the grave headstones.* *There were even trading expeditions from ancient Egypt and queen Hatshepsut.into this land which was then called the land of Punt - some 5,000 years ago. Being second only to ancient Egypt in the age of cities in all of Africa predating many European cities such as London (or ancient londinium) by as much as a 1000 years. Never very populous, but very ancient.* Today our problem is with some few resentful shortsighted separatists, who are sureptitiously supporting extremist groups and terrorists.
This is why Somalia will never be peaceful, instead of focusing on how to build you're country, you are focus is what Kenya and Ethiopia took from you're land, in a map Uganda took piece of Kenya have you ever had Kenya fight with Uganda for that, No,why?

@@SAVAGE-py2fp Ethiopians can't withstand a united and strong somali offensive you know that, and history tells that but you can take advantage of our division but if we have the same strength and no foreign intervention you will get destroyed.
10:40 So it's like Lebanon but based on clans rather than religions. A pretty tricky situation, because the confessional system is at the same time the thing keeping the country together and the thing keeping the state weak.
Who the hell is "we", though? This is blatant nonsense being espoused by Somalis who are ignorant about their own history to put together any informed and constructive reasons for why the Somali nation should exist. Firstly, Somalia is an inherently colonial project, even the name comes from the colonial name given to it by the Italians: Italia Somalia. Secondly, the notion of a unified Somali state that encompasses all Somalis, regardless of where they live, is, again, an idea that was imported from Europe and has no intellectual roots, as far as I am aware, in Somali history. Somalis have always been separated into small groups mainly on the grounds of clan allegiances. Very rarely would you see empires and sultanates that extended beyond the realm of its own clans. However, even in such instances the empire or sultanate would have been ruled by a specific clan and never was there anything remotely comparable to any such notions of a unified Somali state. Thirdly, the destruction of Somalia is an inherent consequence of its narrow-minded desire to pursue the policy of Somaliweyn (greater Somalia). If anything, European imperialism was great for Somalia - as opposed to other African states - because it set in place the intellectual roots that would eventually allow for the tree of Somalia to grow. Thanks to Somali backwardness, it evolved into a corrupt, diseased and deformed tree; giving birth to equally corrupt, diseased and deformed fruits. Lastly, though my analysis of what you say is harsh, and that of Somalia, I only do it because I am a firm believer in establishing progress through a robust framework of self-criticism. Blatant historical falsehoods and self-pity leave no room for the robust structure of self-criticism that Somalia, and Somalis, need if they wish to create a healthy tree that shades all our people.
could you make a video on the Ethiopia-Eritrea dispute also? That is a very touchy but interesting topic. Also Ethiopia's blossoming relationship with China and Eritrea's blacklisting from the global economy being labelled 'the North Korea of Africa'. great work
The best analysis of the origins of the Somali civil war, I have ever encountered. The Ogaden region was never conquered by the Ethiopians, except for Harar. Great Britain handed over the Ogaden in 1948 and Haud and Reserved area in 1954 without the consent of the Somali people to Ethiopia.
Don't forget that certain Western countries supported piracy in Somalia to make profits from shipping insurance, etc. Until Turkey showed up in the scene to ruin their savage game that is.
Very informative, thanks. This is a tragedy for the somalis. I was stationed in Mogadishu 6 months in 1993. Mogadishu could be a really nice city with Italian influences if there would be peace in this region.
No, the problem was that once they got independence these countries focused on wars and conflict instead of development. They should take responsibility for their mistakes.
I just want to say the obvious again because the humble should never tire of it... I very much appreciate your reports. From the content to the maps and graphics i absolutely love and very much look forward to them. So thanks. And thanks to your financial supporters too, extra special thanks to them from me because when i give, it goes to my church so i don't have the room. So yeah, thanks to them too. Great videos.
Excellent analysis. I must say it was detailed and objective. As a native of Ethiopia I must say that you have a great grasp on the dynamics of the horn region.
Said Barre explicitly stated he would honor previous peace agreements. And while he was terrible, there would still likely have been a civil war in Somalia due to the illegitimate claim over British Somaliland.
"When I came to Mogadishu...here was one road built by the Italians. If you try to force me to stand down, I will leave the city as I found it. I came to power with a gun; only the gun can make me go." - Siad Barre He himself admitted he would rather burn the country to the ground than relinquish control
There's no illegitimate claim. People have the right to rule over themselves. You can't force the failed Somalian government on Somalilanders who do not wish to be a part of it.
This guy has just made one thing clear- Somaliland=Isaaq idea. Other clans( Samaroon, ciise, Harti Darood and others)= guests in their own land. If you this isn’t clear by now then may Allah help you

As a Somali people "we are all at the middle of a lot of hyenas/enemies who want our resources,land,oil,gold,our beautiful ocean with all types of fish. And can't see Somalia as one. And those are some arab countries (UAE,Saudi Arabia,Qatar,and Kuwait),most European countries,America,Kenya,isreal and even Russia and lastly and the most painful one is Ethiopia. Ethiopia is always an arch enemy. Hopefully we got one brother and that's Turkey 🇹🇷 may God bless you guys and we can't thank you enough. In addition, I'm missing legend in this video (General Mohamed farah Aidid) he was legend and we will never ever forget that guy.(ethiopia affair that guy very much)And theirs bad view that the world have a Somali(pirate,terrorist,and,etc).pirates are small people who live in a coasts and want to save/defense their oceans/fish.some illegal ships want to take our fish,oil,and etc. So these population are defending their country,is that what the whole world called pirate? I wish my future kid will see Somalia have their power back,identity,and stand its own legs. I don't have a chance to see that my kid will INSHA ALLAH God bless y'all ✌🏽👍🏾
Funny how you consider countries like Kenya your enemy. A people who hosted your displaced citizens, helped you get a president and even sent their own military to die in your country for the sake of greater peace and prosperity of the region.

Change that perspective bro, oil comes from fossils by killing each other you are making more oil than you need don't you think?

Interesting I am 38yrs old and have never heard this history before. I'm sure there is more to the story. I always thought the structures that I saw in films etc in Somalia were grand and related to a greater time in the past.
Yes Somalis killed each other, divided between them, and discriminated each other. But never forget that is not all Somalis, and most of Somalis want to be ONE and realize the dream of GREATER SOMALİA no matter what, our good ancestors would never accept what is happening now to their children. There are small number of corrupter and tripe worshiping Somalis but they w'll no longer last. #GodBlessYouGoodSomalis

Djibouti had ruled it as a one-party state from 1981 until 1992 in the civil war when the Abb'a peace agreement between the government and the moderate majority of FRUDs largely ended the civil war.
So what I've learnt is that Ethiopia and Kenya took Somalia's land and they wanted it back no matter what. And a last minute switch up saved Ethiopia from a swift defeat and the dictator was forced to run away and the country has been trying to fill the void? Sounds very sad, hope you one day have enough power to get your land back.

When you spoke about 'greater Somalia' at 2:00 you should've mentioned that greater Somalia is what Somalia's flag represents( the five sided star represents the 5 Somali regions).
im somali and didn't even know that
Such a gorgeous flag honestly. I didn't know that either, but it sounds amazing. I can only imagine the light blue represents the water off the coast of the Indian Ocean and the white symbolic of what he said being the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean." Looking at a design like that makes one hopeful for the potential in such a nation.
@@cloin6 the sky blue color represents the Clear somali sky(due to Somalia having clear beautiful blue skies all year round). In the national flag anthem= Qolabaa Alankeed (every nation has its own flag), it states that Somalia's one is like the clear blue sky without the clouds and we love it.

Somalia should focus on rebuilding itself rather than living in the past, of colonial borders and clan representation. All the people want is a better future, the somalis in kenya and ethiopia are living much better and safer life there, so claiming land is not the solution. They should as well abolish clanism and adopt a federal system of governance as a substitute to accelerate their country's economic growth. Make peace, not war.
Arasky I agree with you 21%. most African nations are poor largely due to colonialism and weak democracies. I know Somalia will surely rise again...but with the geopolitical technicalities that come along with a greater Somalia, I can say with confidence that a greater somalia is a pipe-dream. It's wise to build what you have first, then seek greatness later.
again I know that kenya and ethiopia want a stable and peaceful region(which works for everybody's interests). Thats why they gave their soldiers (even despite having many casualties in the ensuing war) to somalia to help fight al shabaab. Otherwise they could just have protected their own borders from intrusion. Give credit where it is deserved brother.
Could not have said it better myself .
Daniel K lol u do know Ethiopia is highly suspected of funding alshabab hahaha which is not a suprise considering it's In their interest along with Kenya to have a destabilised Somalia since a strong Somalia like the one in the 70s means irrendentist policies and somalis wanting to retake their territory in both countries inhabited by ethnic somalis which was the cause of the 1977 ogadem war..and not to mention Ethiopia being landlocked, a weak Somalia means easy access to their numerous ports btw Somalia has the longest coastline on mainland Africa ..so there are many reasons for these countries to have a weak Somalia ..Their involvement in Somalia is merely a charade as they have their own geopolitical interests at heart..One thing is certain..at one point Somalia will stabilise and return to pre-civil war levels ..Once they do that they have the resources to develop at a fast rate and catch up to other regional economies. .with such prosperity they will undoubtedly reassume their irrendentist policies of wanting to retake their territories in Ethiopia and Kenya either diplomatically or militarily. .that's inevitable..as long as somalis exist and the country is stable and they aren't dealing with other problems like terrorism,foreign interference,disunity amongst themselves..They will always end up wanting their lands back and at one point it will lead to another war believe me..I hope I'm alive so I can support it by joining the army or govt amiin ya rabbal alamiin

An army somali hi
To my brothers Somali; beware of the gift bearer. Foreign intervention is a poisonous assistance.
Foreign intervention CAN be good if well executed and if the removal of the leader will actually improve the country. The US invasion of Grenada was a good intervention, as were some of the Soviet liberation of Eastern Europe (the soviets were bad but better than Hitler in areas like Poland), and the interventions by the Allies in Western Europe during WW2 as well. Japan was improved by the invasion in WW2. Afghanistan was a shit show but it did improve their country since the Taliban were terrible. The first invasion of Iraq was necessary in preventing Saddams wars of aggression in places like Kuwait and Iran, but the second war was a mixed bag. Many of the Soviet and American interventions in South America were a mess though.
The key is you have to have a necessary reason to intervene, the intervention has to be carried out to improve the country, you need clear goals before hand, you have to follow up any intervention (rebuild infrastructure, help establish a fair government, etc.), the locals need to oppose the leadership, and you cant just carry out the war for your own reasons.

I would 100% donate to Caspian report for the great quality videos being made. But at the moment Im a poor student in college. :(
You're right.Can't believe someone is watching a document about Somalia and at the same time writing on his laptop "I'm a poor college student".
Maybe want to drop out
I don't know if you are like me, but it was not until the third year when i figured out the lie of college or university.
So I would call to gain information on my loans for instance right and the person on the other end told me that interest on the loans increased every year.
I was already looking at 3 to 4 % interest rate, which is high enough. That is how they get everyone in debt and trap them. The biggest scam in American History, if you ask me, but they don't warn nor tell you about any of this.
You grow up to realize that it might have been better to have never step foot onto a college or university campus and just began work.
But easy mathematics can solve a lot of that problem. Just lower the interest rate(s).
And as for a work is concerned. A lot of the jobs anyone applies to or for do not even require a college or university degree. I have read many of the requirements from several numerous employers.
So why not just say this to students who are in high school ? And not push the envelope of pursuing a college degree ?
Because then, people would not feel as if they have been deceived in any way by the same principals, teachers and administrators who are and were supposed to be properly advising them in the first place ?
Also they also never or do not tell you that you will be harrassed to make monthly payments. Thanks...
And on the topic of the medical world. A magnetic resonance image or scanning is no more than $500. I mean, just think about. The medical facilities are supposed to be providing a service.
But I was away at James Madison University for a minimum of two years and from experience, it is not worth it. All I got out of it was a psychological disorder, which I needed to go to therapy for.
And going back to the cost of an MRI. At that affordable price. No one would need these insurance cards and the insurance companies will be out of business. That is just an analysis.
for almost 2000 years Ethiopia gets defeated by Somalia but there is always foreign power helping them out.

How ever I Love my country Somalia ❤🇸🇴🇸🇴
Never thought Somalia would be interesting
It is a a a beautiful country. Blessed one
I think most are interesting once you dig into their histories, it's a major reading project of mine in the future.
I'm British so I'm first of all trying to connect with my own nation's history (the history taught to me in school was severely lacking), but once I've done enough of that I want to explore the history of the world, firstly by looking at the British Empire and then by looking at the histories of the places that became part of the British Empire, specifically India and the British parts of Africa.
It's so obvious that it never gets said and so no-one remembers it but while your country was having its history other places were having their histories, everywhere in the world has a history, but because you can never teach it all most people will only learn about the history of wherever they're from because that's what their school system prioritises. Although some school systems don't even do that very well.
@@Generalscorpio good luck, U.K has a long history
The history and culture of somalis are even more interesting
*The Somali people are people who speak the language of the Pharaohs, a Cushitic language; and who still share many of those cultural traits and articles (Was scepter = hangool...). They were the first Africans, to make contact with China in trade as well as skirmishes. They were also able to defeat the Portuguese Navy at the height of its power, in an area where they were especially interested in, looking for that ancient Saint Prester John. They were also the first to be attacked with airplanes in all of Africa; after dislodging the British colonialists*
*They have been trading for many generations as far as China. Along the coast there are grave sites with Chinese porcelain dishware inlaid into the grave headstones.*
*There were even trading expeditions from ancient Egypt and queen Hatshepsut.into this land which was then called the land of Punt - some 5,000 years ago. Being second only to ancient Egypt in the age of cities in all of Africa predating many European cities such as London (or ancient londinium) by as much as a 1000 years. Never very populous, but very ancient.*
Today our problem is with some few resentful shortsighted separatists, who are sureptitiously supporting extremist groups and terrorists.

Who the hell is "we", though? This is blatant nonsense being espoused by Somalis who are ignorant about their own history to put together any informed and constructive reasons for why the Somali nation should exist.
Firstly, Somalia is an inherently colonial project, even the name comes from the colonial name given to it by the Italians: Italia Somalia.
Secondly, the notion of a unified Somali state that encompasses all Somalis, regardless of where they live, is, again, an idea that was imported from Europe and has no intellectual roots, as far as I am aware, in Somali history. Somalis have always been separated into small groups mainly on the grounds of clan allegiances. Very rarely would you see empires and sultanates that extended beyond the realm of its own clans. However, even in such instances the empire or sultanate would have been ruled by a specific clan and never was there anything remotely comparable to any such notions of a unified Somali state.
Thirdly, the destruction of Somalia is an inherent consequence of its narrow-minded desire to pursue the policy of Somaliweyn (greater Somalia). If anything, European imperialism was great for Somalia - as opposed to other African states - because it set in place the intellectual roots that would eventually allow for the tree of Somalia to grow. Thanks to Somali backwardness, it evolved into a corrupt, diseased and deformed tree; giving birth to equally corrupt, diseased and deformed fruits.
Lastly, though my analysis of what you say is harsh, and that of Somalia, I only do it because I am a firm believer in establishing progress through a robust framework of self-criticism. Blatant historical falsehoods and self-pity leave no room for the robust structure of self-criticism that Somalia, and Somalis, need if they wish to create a healthy tree that shades all our people.

The best analysis of the origins of the Somali civil war, I have ever encountered. The Ogaden region was never conquered by the Ethiopians, except for Harar. Great Britain handed over the Ogaden in 1948 and Haud and Reserved area in 1954 without the consent of the Somali people to Ethiopia.

Excellent analysis. I must say it was detailed and objective. As a native of Ethiopia I must say that you have a great grasp on the dynamics of the horn region.
Siad Barre never made a peace agreement.
If he resigned this would not happened to Somalia.
Said Barre explicitly stated he would honor previous peace agreements. And while he was terrible, there would still likely have been a civil war in Somalia due to the illegitimate claim over British Somaliland.
"When I came to Mogadishu...here was one road built by the Italians. If you try to force me to stand down, I will leave the city as I found it. I came to power with a gun; only the gun can make me go." - Siad Barre
He himself admitted he would rather burn the country to the ground than relinquish control
There's no illegitimate claim. People have the right to rule over themselves. You can't force the failed Somalian government on Somalilanders who do not wish to be a part of it.
They are forcing their government on pro nationals who take up large parts of the north. They're hypocrites.
before independence or in 1960 used to be
Italian - Somaliland
British - Somaliland
French - Somaliland (Djibouti) later in 1977.

Somalia has made major progress since 2017 with the re-establishment of the somali army. They have helped destroy Alshabab
Thank you Caspianreport, Nice work
This was WELL done..!! It was clear and chronologically accurate. I am a Suscriber. Thumbs up
This guy has just made one thing clear- Somaliland=Isaaq idea. Other clans( Samaroon, ciise, Harti Darood and others)= guests in their own land. If you this isn’t clear by now then may Allah help you
Fucking tremendous mate, in 12 min you changed my view on a entire geo-political region. Keep up the good work, this is much more fascinating journalism instead of reporting what Trump tweeted!
Rokiriko changed how? If i may ask
Please explain your comment, you have an interesting conclusion. Did you think another issue was more at fault or something lacking.
When the journalist is a insider. I mean he is related to the country he is reporting the information he give is completely differ from other sources. Example I am Somali, and I m not journalist but I have all these information.
As a Somali people "we are all at the middle of a lot of hyenas/enemies who want our resources,land,oil,gold,our beautiful ocean with all types of fish. And can't see Somalia as one. And those are some arab countries (UAE,Saudi Arabia,Qatar,and Kuwait),most European countries,America,Kenya,isreal and even Russia and lastly and the most painful one is Ethiopia.
Ethiopia is always an arch enemy.
Hopefully we got one brother and that's Turkey
🇹🇷 may God bless you guys and we can't thank you enough.
In addition, I'm missing legend in this video (General Mohamed farah Aidid) he was legend and we will never ever forget that guy.(ethiopia affair that guy very much)And theirs bad view that the world have a Somali(pirate,terrorist,and,etc).pirates are small people who live in a coasts and want to save/defense their oceans/fish.some illegal ships want to take our fish,oil,and etc. So these population are defending their country,is that what the whole world called pirate?
I wish my future kid will see Somalia have their power back,identity,and stand its own legs. I don't have a chance to see that my kid will INSHA ALLAH
God bless y'all ✌🏽👍🏾
long live Ethiopia the greatest country in the continent
Funny how you consider countries like Kenya your enemy. A people who hosted your displaced citizens, helped you get a president and even sent their own military to die in your country for the sake of greater peace and prosperity of the region. Indeed the only way a donkey says thank you is by kicking you. But it is God who blessess and curses and so your acknowledgement is pointless.
BLA BLA BLA,,YOU TEND TO BLAME EVERYONE ELSE FOR YOUR OWN MISTAKES,,YOU THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE THE SOVIET UNION OF AFRICA AND THAT BACKFIRED ON YOU TERRIBLY LEADING TO THE COLLAPSE OF YOUR NATION,,HOPE THOSE LEADERS FOCUSED ON WHAT THEY HAD AND SOMALI WOULD HAVE NEVER COLLAPSED,,YOU WANTED EVERYTHING AND INSTEAD LOST EVERYTHING
If there is any one Somalia should blame it's Clans. No one wants your resources what we want is a peaceful border. How does the oil you are speaking about helping you out in the war? Change that perspective bro, oil comes from fossils by killing each other you are making more oil than you need don't you think?
You are your own downfall. Ethiopians did nothing except defend themselves, If Barres idea of unifying your people was invading a non-hostile neighbor and slaughtering its people then you deserve every misery. There are several thousands of Somalis in Ethiopia living a peaceful & successful life who wish no harm on Ethiopia so Ethiopia wishes no harm on them.
Keen for AU, keep the Africa material coming +CaspianReport
May ALMIGHTY GOD help my neighboring country to find peace in every inch of it's boundaries, love from KENYA.
*God bless Somalia*
*Prayers from **#Kashmir*
May Allah help kashmir from a somali
I don't know why I can't hold back my tears 😭 , we lost people, culture, peace, the country's name , powerful and everything but not the hope , however we will be great again .🇸🇴❤
Don't say America supported somalia in 1977 war, nobody support somalia they were alone
Brilliantly informative. Essential and understandable. Bravo zulu. Thank you.
Caspian report is great in its info and video editing. Love it
Imagine being born in Somalia 1994. I guess that explains why i lived in Kenya 🇰🇪 for 9 years and later ended up in the other end of the world in Canada 🇨🇦
Love Somalia from Kenyan in UK.
i can't wait for the next report. as an Ethiopian American you hear a lot of stories about the AU and its difficult to tell what is and isn't true
Lemme tell you something that is true.
the AU, being largely funded by non African countries, became a tool for neo colonialism a while back.
Anyone telling you something else is shitting you
I REALLY LOVE CaspianReport!
That was a well presented documentary.Thanks for educating me about the region.
Interesting I am 38yrs old and have never heard this history before. I'm sure there is more to the story. I always thought the structures that I saw in films etc in Somalia were grand and related to a greater time in the past.
Things are getting better now in Somalia ! The country is recovering and making significant progress
You know your country will be messed up when America intervenes and says we can help you better than anybody else.
Yes Somalis killed each other, divided between them, and discriminated each other. But never forget that is not all Somalis, and most of Somalis want to be ONE and realize the dream of GREATER SOMALİA no matter what, our good ancestors would never accept what is happening now to their children. There are small number of corrupter and tripe worshiping Somalis but they w'll no longer last. #GodBlessYouGoodSomalis
It's confusing though because this idea of Somali identity doesn't seem very strong if the country has dissolved based on clan affiliation. Is "Somali" even a coherent concept?
Beautiful and summarised history. love this channel.
so somalia was like a fortnite battle royale for how long? Hopefully somalia gets on the right track, love from ethiopia.
Yow lol bro we almost ran you down, you and us are the main characters here really...yall chose to fight us for our land and win unfair
@@geletoz You guys can't hold an L.
@@user-qy6tu9ip9v seriously? You+Italy+British Empire at its peak+France+bantus like kikuyu and Kamba and luos came for me and my land....before that, we kept you east of the awash river and the mountains..my land minus the big chunk you got from collaboration with the colonizer is bigger than Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana...you are land locked while i have almost 4k miles of coast from the red sea and the Indian Ocean..L what? We still in the fight..yall doing your civil war now lmao tigree being hunted and amhara being slaughtered, I am recovering as a nation state and your white masters wouldn't be around everytime, the pandelum is swinging back and the L will be in your lap
Yeah kinda like how Ethiopia is right now
all my people ,Stop tribalism stop laan laaan let's make Somalia great again
Djibouti had ruled it as a one-party state from 1981 until 1992 in the civil war when the Abb'a peace agreement between the government and the moderate majority of FRUDs largely ended the civil war.
Great info. It really saved my history day project
Great job on the video! I learn something new every time i come to your channel!
So what I've learnt is that Ethiopia and Kenya took Somalia's land and they wanted it back no matter what. And a last minute switch up saved Ethiopia from a swift defeat and the dictator was forced to run away and the country has been trying to fill the void? Sounds very sad, hope you one day have enough power to get your land back.
They didn't take it by force, Britain signed the lands off to them.
No we don’t need that land. We have enough issues with what we have
