That is right, 18 May is not the official Somaliland independence day but it is the reclamation of the 26 June 1960 independence from the Britain and the withdrawal of the failed union with Somalia after 31 years. From 1960-1991. Excellent program thought. Thank you!
Thank you - I'm glad you liked it! It's taken me a while to say "national holiday" instead of "Independence day" for 18 May, but I think it's finally a habit now.
@@FredoRockwellAmazing job! We also like you said “National holiday”, as no legislation or bill was ever ratified in parliament during the “failed union”. Which culminated into a genocide between 1988-1991. Legally , June 26th 1960 holds , the AU mandate not to change colonial borders holds. Flowers this comment from @Cabaysmedia too !
Well done Mr Rockwell , Really appreciate the great Video. Glad you enjoyed your trib to somaliland and thanks for letting the World know about Somaliland .
@@FredoRockwell loved it and the way you had spot on information was amazing. Hopefully that’s not your first visit and I hope this video Goes viral for you.
Greetings from Seattle A.K.A Sea town. As a fellow American and Somaliland born I want to talk you for your open mind and support for Somaliland.❤🎉 I wish our foreign policy would be more productive in dealing with like minded people around the world and reword those who are doing right by their people. As a survivor of the Isaaq genocide in the late 80’s, just the age 10 I still feel it could easily happen again in the world continues to support and arm the same very people that committed the massacre.
Hello my fellow American! I'm so glad you saw this video! How wonderful that you were able to survive the Isaaq genocide and tell the world about it. From what I've seen of the Somaliland Foreign Ministry and the ambassadors, they are all very hard working and the lack of progress is really a problem of the world community, not SL's foreign policy. But let's hope that recognition starts to be adopted worldwide soon!
Dear Mr. Fredo, Thank you so much for visiting our great nation of Somaliland. Your videos are both informative and inspiring. We, the people of Somaliland, deeply appreciate your unwavering dedication to our cause. Your efforts give us hope that Somaliland will soon achieve the recognition it rightfully deserves.
Thank you Fredo for visiting Somaliland. There are a touristic places to explore like Las geel caves, Berbera beach, Dhagax Guure caves, Daalo mountains and a lot more.
Thanks Fred, I'm glad you witness the Somaliland national pride. In Somali we say " I tus oo I taabsii !". Means " Show me and let me feel it !.". The only thing missing is recognition and I hope IC will get your strong message.
Thank you for visiting my country. I've enjoyed watching this incredible amazing video. Also I've read some of your comments , you seem much educated and experienced about the issue of Somaliland. You're always welcome to the one of the most peaceful country in Africa.
Weldone fredo I've been watching your videos for years and it makes me happy see that you are a fan of democracy and a friend of Somaliland and it's people and you are a person who believes in what he preaches here on TH-cam thanks welcome again to the blessed republic of Somaliland
Thank you! And it would be quite an honor to even be considered a tiny part of your history! I would love to return one day. I'm sure I'll see lots of continued improvements when I do!
Well said Fredo It's mind boggling how the international community give voice to countries that never had an election, yet is failing to recognize a true multi-party democracy, with free and fair elections.
We know you are not Somalilander. Do you know who can legally be a Somalilander according to Somaliland constitution???? Those who where living in Somaliland on 26 June 1960 when Somaliland got it is independence from Greate Britain 🇬🇧 are Somalilanders. Not the immigrants from Somalia Italy 🇮🇹who their country was under the Italian Colony at that time. The Democratic Republic of Somaliland are fighting to defend their democracy their rights, equality and justices as a nation. Please 🙏 stop joking.
astagfurillah, look at the ummah today, rejoicing over support of the kafirs and slandering and making enemies of their brothers . Hooyada ma waxaan bay ku farxi?
Hey Fredo, could you do a video on the East African Community, which Somalia just recently joined (and thus by extention "technically" Somaliland also joined, sort of)? I've actually heard a few Somalilanders say that if the East African Federation ever forms, their would no longer be a need for Somaliland at all, which is certainly an interesting perspective.
That's an interesting idea! I'm interested in the East African Federation to be sure. From what I've heard, the momentum for a more political movement has really stalled, though. Also, while I don't doubt there are Somalilanders who might support joining, the entire national mythos of Somaliand is based on the premise that joining greater Somalia in 1960 was a mistake. I'm pretty confident no one in the current government or opposition parties wants to join the Federal Republic of Somalia even if it would be as part of a wider state (and the FRS only controls a tiny part of the territory it claims so the idea it can effectively integrate into another federation is a long way off anyway). Certainly an interesting idea, though! Thank you!
I love my homeland especially my hometown Hargeisa💚🤍❤️ Thank you so much for making both a video and accepting that Somaliland is and has been an independent country for 33 whole years. But i live in Oslo,Norway which is faar away especially with 🛩
Welcome again Fredo Rockwell to the Republic of Somaliland. You and many of our American, British, European, Ethiopian, Emirati, Kuwaiti Taiwanese and Asian friends who fought with us along the golden struggle for political recognition, defended our legitimate cause and overcame many unfavourable winds blowing from all sides until we reached the shore of salama and thanksgiving and the promise soon in weeks or months the great celebration of Somalilands political recognition which we struggled for patiently, resiliently and adamamantly for 33 years. We thank you Fredo Rockwell and all our International friends who always believed in and defended our just cause. Somaliland will be your second home and you'll be welcome as honorable, exceptional guests whenever you come. When the rivers of oil flow soon in this blessed country, the many friends in our armed struggle and the struggle for recognition will be the first to enjoy with us this bounty and prosperity, In shaa Allah.
Thank you Fredo for coming to Somaliland and celebrating with us on our national day 18 May thank you for sharing our views. We are Somalilanders No matter how long it takes us to get the recognition We will always be Somaliland and please let everyone know they are 1:471:49 welcome to our country no terrorist no pirates no extreme ideology.
I remembered as a very young girl in Hargeisa was the best city, we didn’t know any about outside world and it was lovely. The school, college,hospital and university in Muqdishu were free of charge, now everything is gone forever .
It is very difficult - I can't imagine what you've been through. I certainly haven't seen Muqdishu before or after 1991, but I can tell you from my own experience that Hargeisa is a wonderful vibrant city today. I really value the chance I had to see it.
@@FredoRockwellmudishu was free of charge because of genocide labour. Isaaq teachers were cleansed from Somaliland and taken there to work. Universities and higher education was banned in Somaliland by Somalia genocide Gov. Good riddance.

First of all, we welcome you to Somaliland, and we are happy that you are the most people who understand that there are two states, namely Somaliland and Somalia. Somaliland has done everything a country needs without recognition, it is a country that has succeeded in making passports and money for their country, whether it is the army, government employees, money spent on domestic projects and everything the government needs. Its citizens collect the money that the government pays for those expenses. Remember that they have not received international aid for 34 years. Finally, we welcome anyone who wants to show the world what Somaliland is
It's hard to believe that an unrecognized state is more stable than the recognized state from which it separated. P.s.- Uh, it's a pity that Rhodesia failed to survive at least as an unrecognized state. 🇳🇬⛏️🌳👑😔
I would argue that Somaliland didn't really separate from Somalia. Somalia's previous government (the Somali Democratic Republic) collapsed in 1991, and there was no real government for Somaliland to separate from when it reasserted its independence. The currently recognized government, the Federal Republic of Somaila was only established in 2008 or so. As for Rhodesia, I'm not an expert but from what I know I can't agree that its survival would have been a good thing (even taking into account the many problems Zimbabwe has had since 1980).
@@FredoRockwell I think we can call it secession anyway, given that Somoliland wants to gain independence. I would like to know. Why do you think that the existence of Rhodesia would be a worse option than the creation of "Zimbabwe"?
Somaliland is independent, there's no doubt about that. What's at issue is recognition. Zimbabwe's history, both before and after 1980, is an extremely troubled one. I'm confident there are people who are much worse off since then, but that doesn't mean that Rhodesia's UDI was a good idea, or that most Zimbabweans today would want to turn back the clock and continue with Rhodesia as it was.
@@FredoRockwell I think we see an excellent cause-and-effect relationship in this. Pro-communist forces seized power in Rhodesia and turned it into ruins, and due to the fact that a huge number of the most qualified and intelligent population, among whom there were the largest number of people supporting Rhodesia, were forced to flee, few of today's Zimbabweans miss Rhodesia and therefore today's Zimbabwe has so many problems.
@LazurIs. We're getting way off the topic of this video, but however bad the Zimbabwe government under ZANU-PF has been (and I would say it has been terrible) that doesn't mean that the Rhodesian regime was good or should have continued until today. And I would also say most governments throughout most of history have been pretty horrible to the people they rule.
Thank you for the wonderful way you convey the truth to the world. We always welcome you Somaliland the ongoing development of freedom of speech and democracy and peace
Lack of foreign aid has probably benefited Somaliland. It has built resilience in the people, and look at what they’ve built from just rubble. Well done.
Foreign aid certainly can create problems, that's for sure, and so I think you're right that Somaliland has benefitted from having to cultivate the self-reliance to rebuilt itself. There are moments when I'm sure that Somaliland would appreciate better access to aid, though, and I can't blame them. One was after a huge fire in the market area of Hargeisa a couple years ago. It took out one of the most important parts of the national economy and bankrupted a lot of private citizens overnight. I know that the Somaliland government would have apprecited access to short-term help, and they did get a small amount in the end I think, but most of the work had to be done using their own resources. The other issue is elections - genuine one-person-one-vote elections are expensive to run, and there are international groups that help fund them in many countries. Somaliland is so committed to the democratic process that they hold them anyway, but I'm sure they would appreciate more international help when they happen!

We're getting way off the topic of this video, but however bad the Zimbabwe government under ZANU-PF has been (and I would say it has been terrible) that doesn't mean that the Rhodesian regime was good or should have continued until today. And I would also say most governments throughout most of history have been pretty horrible to the people they rule.

Thank you for visiting Somaliland, Mr. Fredo. I love the way you pronounce "UCID." Lol.
Thank you! And I'm sure I still didn't get UCID right, but at least it was better than my earlier videos! 😂

@@FredoRockwell Thank you again sir and we always welcome you to visit Somaliland
Thank you for your visit brother❤
I really enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Somaliland looks like a normal stable country! No violence, no anarchy, no crime, and no pirates!
I never once felt unsafe, or even had a hint of feeling unsafe. I walked across Hargeisa in the day and at night by myself with no problems.
Thank you visiting my home town Hargeysa Somaliland
It was a joy. Hargeisa is a wonderful place!
"Somaliland deserve to be recognized"
I agree!
Lack of foreign aid has probably benefited Somaliland. It has built resilience in the people, and look at what they’ve built from just rubble. Well done.
Foreign aid certainly can create problems, that's for sure, and so I think you're right that Somaliland has benefitted from having to cultivate the self-reliance to rebuilt itself. There are moments when I'm sure that Somaliland would appreciate better access to aid, though, and I can't blame them. One was after a huge fire in the market area of Hargeisa a couple years ago. It took out one of the most important parts of the national economy and bankrupted a lot of private citizens overnight. I know that the Somaliland government would have apprecited access to short-term help, and they did get a small amount in the end I think, but most of the work had to be done using their own resources. The other issue is elections - genuine one-person-one-vote elections are expensive to run, and there are international groups that help fund them in many countries. Somaliland is so committed to the democratic process that they hold them anyway, but I'm sure they would appreciate more international help when they happen!
Thank you for visiting my country, Somaliland.
It was my pleasure!
Thanks mate, for the good representation
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Welcome Fredo to Somaliland, the land of peace and tranquility.
Thank you! It is certainly a peaceful country from what I could see. I had a wonderful time.
