Still in High School. But when Ill start earning Ill surely support you
I’m still working retail, but when I get a good paying job I’ll be there
Thank you for this incredible documentary about Somaliland!
I would love to meet u in hargeisa
Thank you Rare Earth and every one who contributed. It was a forgotten brutal genocide of innocent people who has sympathy for Democracy and change.
Thank you for reminding me what I've seen with my own eyes, 31 years ago (being only 13 at the time), it brought tears to my eyes. Very sad horrible unforgettable
Kadra Ahmed Insha Allah those who were behind the atrocities will be held accountable wherever they are.
I was 7 only never understood what was happening. Until I got shot. And he said waa cunga isaaq leave her .
Kadra Ahmed That was then, now we’re the cream of the crop... crème de la crème viva Somaliland
I'm so sorry, I'm 20 born in 99 the sad thing is my generation don't know shit. And the older generation don't explain shit. Alx my parent took me back for a couple years
Walaalo khadra waan ka xumahay wixii dadkeena soo gaadhay, waanse guulaysanay ee tan uun ha la ilaashado oo dadkeenu qiimaha dawladnimo ha barto, weli waynu dhoohannahaye. Salaan sharaf Kahdra.
I have lost almost all my uncles and grandfathers in the genocides
@@farahhersi9380 Isaaqs never targeted Gadabuursi, they only fought against Gadabuursi Militias that took part in the Isaaq Genocide. The Gadabursi deaths in the civil war is no more than 500 to 700 people, i don't think you can equate that to the 100,000 Isaaqs killed by the Government.
@@Jamesbond-tv3rv I don't think he did nor that he intended to.
Cushitic Soomaali if we hated gadabuursi daahir Riyaale kaahin would never be president. Nor would saylici be Vice President.
@@Jamesbond-tv3rv 100,000 is comparable to the deaths in the 8 year syrian civil war where chemcial weapons are used but somehow siad barre killed that much in 2 years
I am so sorry to hear that walalo. May Allah have mercy on them.
I grew up in the UK listening to my mother’s story’s, on how she carried my older brother n sister, on her back as she walked from Hargesia to Dira dawe, when the planes attacked the city in the afternoon right after prayer. She said people climbed the roofs of there homes to see the planes flying over, until they started bombing the city. This story deserves more than a 10min clip the story is deep but ends up beautiful mashallah..
@_Spectrum I'm a diaspora child aswell. When I be president I will start a program to train troops and if
You attack us, I will flatten Mogadishu. Somaliland has a better military than somalia 👋🏽😆👋🏽
Edit: I was angry. Sorry for this gross comment
@@mukhtar3052 goddamn...
@@mukhtar3052 What is this mentality?! Instead of wishing to become President and and flattening Mogadishu in the case of war, why don't you wish to become President to improve Somaliland and to bring it modernity. Even in the case of war, you shouldn't want to commit a genocide like Barre's govt did. Do you really want hundreds of thousands of innocent people dead?
If you continue to have this mentality to adulthood, I hope you never become a leader. And I most certainly won't vote for you. It's really sad to see my fellow Somalilanders thinking like this.
Master Ali Look at him. He is threatening us. You know I won’t flatten Mogadishu? It was a threat
@Master Ali I have a plan. We spend 500 million on khat a year. If we cut it by half we can make an oil exporting company and drill our oil with no cost. I will build a dam on togdheer river that will stop flooding and produce electricity. I will ban charcoal production and start growing trees everywhere. After that I will change the economy by using tourism. I will construct the tallest building in the world in Burco which will be the Dubai of Africa (as tourism). So if oil prices drop we can use minerals and natural gas tourism fishing and livestock export as a backup
As a Southern Somali I am ashamed at our government's actions against our Northern Kinsmen. I hope you get International Recognition because you deserve it. ❤️
thank you my man for your honesty and your kind heart
@@Noobscodee Somalia has no authority over Somaliland, they don't rule there nor does the govt have any influence there. Of what use is claiming it? Just to antagonise Somalilanders? I don't see the objective here!! I am in favour of a united Somalia but if its not possible then we should let our brothers and sisters have their own country.
@@Mohamed-ok2ic you just dont have high hopes in somalia your a sheep who has no idea what a greater SOMALIA has an impact on the world my friend grow up we've got history and Land and now we trying to get back our Land the British and italian division of somalia and north somalia will be gone
@@Noobscodee ive been in the country for 5 months walal im 17 and im just about to open my first buisness wish me luck
@@Noobscodee Somaliland is the only Somali region (out of the 5 regions constituting Somaliweyn) to have given up its sovereignty and independence for the cause of Somaliweyn willingly. No other Somali region did this in the past, and no other Somali region is willing to do the same today. Fact It was Isaaq who insisted on uniting with Somalia immediately when Michael Mariano and the Garaad of Dhulbahante advised against immediate union. Fact Immediately following the union, the majority of Somaliland voted against the constitution in 1961. There was clear dissatisfaction with the terms of unification and every single government of the Somali Republic failed to address Somaliland's problems. Fact Somaliland received under 7 per cent of development assistance sent to Somali Republic. Fact By all accounts northerners and specifically Isaaq contributed the most towards the war effort against Ethiopia (here is a Marehan vet of the 77 war detailing this point, if you do not believe him check this source too, it is well known that Isaaq shed most blood during that war and suffered the greatest depths of resultant economic deprivation, yet Siad Barre repaid their valour by ordering the executions of six Isaaq generals. Fact This was followed by Siad Barre attempting to displace the Isaaq from their lands in favour of his maternal relatives the Ogaden. Ogaden refugees were settled in Isaaq lands, they were armed and began to attack Isaaq nomads. Fact It all culminated in the genocide of Isaaqs at the hands of the full military might of the Somali Republic. What many of you do not understand, or ignore, is that this was not a clan vs clan situation, which happens all the times between all clans. This is the only time in the history of the Somali peninsula where the full military might of the state was used against a single clan. There were smaller scale attacks by the government against other clans, but what they did against the Isaaq was clearly an attempt to obliterate us. They even hired South African and Rhodesian pilots to completely destroy our cities. Understand this, the Somali state killed 200,000 civilian Isaaqs. The Somali state completely levelled our cities. Many of civilians killed were strafed by military aircraft as they were attempting flee to Ethiopia. Fact These are just some of the facts. We joined this union willingly and put everything we had on the line for it, we fought and shed blood to reunite all Somalis, we forwent a state that we completely dominated, our own independence and got shat on for 30 years straight. You lot are the real Somalidiid, we have sacrificed so much for the notion of Somaliweyn, it did not work out. We will never repeat the same mistake again.
Thank you for reminding me what I've seen with my own eyes, 31 years ago (being only 11 at the time), it brought tears to my eyes.

Another horrific story the world chose to ignore. Turned out to be another playground for American and Soviet weapons. Sad, really sad.
Of course it's always outside forces rather than inside evil to be blamed.
@@5tevef And that's why the common weapon in non-Western World is the Soviet/ Russian AK-47. The American lover the AR-15 to kill each other, like today in Le Paso, Texas 20 dead, at least 26 wounded and the shooter is in custody after driving 600 miles from Dallas to El Paso to shoot up a mall full of families.
@@5tevef It takes 2 hands to clap.
@Eltaccos The AK-47 uses a 7.62 mm 70 caliber bullet, the M-16/AR-15 uses a .227 mm bullet. When I was in the Canadian military we switched in the early 1980s from the FN FAL C1 a 7.62 mm 64 caliber weapon to the Canadian made version of the M-16. The difference was like night and day, the FN could pierce 1/2 steel plate at 100 meters and had a max range of 800 meters, the M-16 died at 300 meters.
@@5tevef I agree. My family fled to Ethiopia and understand just how evil Barre and his military was. USA and Russia gave the weapons but Somali's pulled the triggers.
Thank u for this Rare earth, please visit Las Geel, in Somaliland There were people lived there To Date Somewhere 9000 and 3000 BC.
Always love your videos. So happy I stumbled upon your channel a few years ago, and I always end up coming out of these with a new take on a topic I usually had little to no knowledge about before.

you remind me of what happened 31 years ago it makes me emotional whenever i remember it and i tear up .
it was friday may 27 /1988, i was 6 years old in a city called burco in my father's Villa when a rocket targeted our villa , my grandmother and my cousin(sister) who grew up in our house like our own sister died in-front of my eyes at 6 years of age, it effected me school days and i went through therapy , my cousin's brain was scattering on the floor , my grandma died from the wounds , my mom was injured and all that was in our house , when we went out my cousin in my uncle house was cut into pieces and also my uncles my aunties were also killed , i saw all that in young age , then we went to Ethiopia by foot walking , then flew to dijibouti then we flew to saudi arabia where i grew up .
sorry for your loss brother.

I discovered this channel a few months ago, and after each video I’m only loving it more. Thanks so much for your amazing content.
It didn’t fail because it wasn’t a dream worth fighting for; it failed because of who they chose to fight- themselves.
sounds deep but really is not ... rebellions are often fought against "ourselves," simply because it is so often our own people that do the oppressing.
@Omar Omar no
@Omar Omar ? How disrespectful is that? Stop being rude man
I Don't get it ?
I've just found this channel and I'm glad I did.I'm binge watching and loving it.The absence of intrusive and loud music and well thought of script makes combined with factually correct story-telling and wide range of subjects makes your video's a gem in a shouty webb of propeganda.Well done to you all.
Wow. Very powerful to watch and learn about. And looking it up online, for such things be be forgotten is a travesty. Thank you Rare earth for ,at the very least, ensuring such things are not forgotten. Keep it up.
They poisoned some wells, (a friend lost her mother because of that water) they then buried bombs on the ground and sent planes to bomb from above, no one was meant to survive this! People still break down when they speak of this time. The pain is still real and raw.

Thank you very much for all of these videos. They are that rare thing on TH-cam - thoughtful, intelligent, and well done. I always learn something from them.
The quality if the production, research and writing i these videos always astounds me. Your channel is criminally undersubscrided, keep doing ehat you do cos what you do is great
The best report ever made on this subject (Hargeisa holocaust ), very through and to the point.
The Siad Barre Regime was very bad to the Somali people and they tried to force everything using an iron fist on its own people.And the people of Somaliland (aka Isaaq) were targeted the most so they refused and fought for justice. Millions of Isaaq people were massacred by this regime and Airplanes Bombarded their two largest cities Hargeisa and Burco. The same planes that took off from the airport of Hargeisa Bombarded the same city and people of Hargeisa. Millions Fleed and the Airplanes even followed them to the refugee camps. So I say today is not the time to mourn but it is the time to fight back and Gain what we want out of this world. We want recognition, peace, and Justice for Somaliland and its people.
may nothing ever take your voice
@@farahhersi9380 Brother the gadabuursi clan was never killed like the Isaaq. After the dictator fell in moqdisho you guys hated us for fighting the regime that you Guys SUPPORTED. Once the Snm took control of the Isaaq territories you guys made a rebel group called SDA/USF. It was then that the fought for contol of borama city and you guys lost. You kill Isaaq people and they fought back. No body ever killed you guys for no reason. So stop with hating isaaqs for fighting for justice and beating every one that was against them huuno.
@Mekonen Syes many tribes live there.
He’s gone now, things aren’t that much better
@@abandonedchannel281 He is gone and things are way better than before. The man was a dictator.
Alot of my family were killed in the genocide. My uncle fled by foot and walked from Haregisa to Kenya to escape. My father and grandfather fled also, hence why I'm here. R.i.p to all those killed innocently.
Si
@_Spectrum Idiot. Attacking somaliland would be suicide for you. Hence no leader from Mogadishu has done so
@Electrolous Ye mahdi was a dumbass
Wow now your story definitely doesn’t hold any water. You cannot walk from Hargeisa to Kenya. That is a journey of atleast 3,000 kilometres. Brother. Stop fabricating you’re suffering and now to your overlords in Mogadishu.
@Electrolous did you just say all marexan are evil. Yo wtf are you talking about... How can a Whole tribe be evil.
y'all make such amazing videos of really interesting corners of the world!
I do love that when you tell another's story, you don't place yourself as front and centre in your videos. You show us the people, their smiles, and the land they call home.
Thank you for that.
My mother was there as loud speakers were calling for all non-Isaaqs to leave the city on buses provided by Barre's government. Absolutely chilling act by a government against its own people.
Thank you for telling this story, its very much alive in the minds of Somalilanders.
I am so sorry. May Allah have mercy on all the innocent people who died in 1988
you are such a lier
Wallahi what happened to our ppl is so crazy as the years go on it will be reported on more. I love to sit with the elders and hear these horrific stories.
Mø Nälayé thank you walalo there’s some sick people that will justify this genocide killing
This was hard to watch. I was only 1 during the genocide but I remember going back to Hargiesa in 1991 and landmines going off around the city and my mum constantly shaking and counting us just to make sure we were all safe. Some Somalis still believe that Barre was the greatest leader Somalia ever had. Maybe this is one of the reasons why Somalia is still at war and Somaliland although not recognised is still standing and functioning peacefully. Thank you for shedding light on our Holocaust.
Suad bare was a great man. Who made horrible choices on his own people. He was great for Somalia and its own worst enemy.
@@nabadon2853 if you make horrible choices on your own people, you’re the opposite of great. This is why southerners will turn to Somaliland as literacy gets better in Somalia.
@@theheadlesslegend what is this somaliland you talk about. Somalia is one country. We need to focus on our oppressed Somalis in Kenya and Ethiopia. We need to focus on rebuilding our strength and economy.
@@nabadon2853 Somalia is a weak country that feeds off the west while starving it’s people of food and education. That nation needs to follow the lead of Somaliland if it ever wants to be taken seriously by anyone.
@@nabadon2853 only reason they hold on to Somaliland tightly is because it’s the pride of the horn and without being recognized as a collective, the numbers for Somalia would look far worse.
As a species, we're not very good at learning from history are we?
Many may know history but most won't understand.
Our nature is against it.
@@XprawlerX We are all the same species, inaccurately called Homo Sapiens (Thinking Man). Unless you are commenting from an extra-terrestrial location, or you are a Lepus Townsendii (White-Tailed Jackrabbit or Prairie Hare) with access to the internet, you ARE indeed the same species as the people that committed this horrible act. Perhaps we would see less of this kind of thing if more people would admit that.
@@fukpoeslaw3613 That is a point of view, but we can change our nature. People like Evan are helping by bringing these stories to a wider audience, but the will to change has to be there. Perhaps the worst part about our nature is the ability to see that something is wrong and ignore it for shallow, personal gain.

I remember a few newspapers covering the Somali Civil War. But it was mostly news agency stringers, as it was remote, and Lebanon's Civil War was getting most of the press.

Thanks for reminding the world what had really happened in Somalia. The more we speak about those problems the easier it becomes and closer we get to find a solution for the problem of yesterday and today. I’ve always said Somalia is at war with itself but no one else and I’m glad you have said it too. Unless the Somalia of today accepts the fact that the so called “greater Somalia concept” is a failure and let the Somalilanders express their right to self determination, there will not be a long lasting peace between the two countries and people.
The concept of making Somalia great again is easier than making new nation within it's borders, fact. In the South, there is terrorism and extremism, in the North, there is new kind of dictatorship, there is no freedom of speech or tolerance, armed rebels fighting for power. There always a choas in every corner of Somalia.
Abdurrahman Isse Somalia will not be great as long as it continues to be at war with itself. You mentioned “chaos” in all parts of Somalia but in reality Somaliland continues to enjoy the peace they have brought to themselves. The chaos Somalia wants to bring to Somaliland is due to the fact that the two countries are in proxy war ever since the independence of Somaliland in 1991. Somalia will not let Somaliland and Somalilanders live in harmony and of course Somaliland will continue meddling with internal affairs of Somalia both directly and indirectly.
The two governments are far better off working together as two sovereign nations to strengthen the economy of the two countries. There are so many different opportunities and untapped resources that the two sides can benefit from yet we continue to fight w meaningless war that only brings more suffering to no one else but the people. 🤷🏽♂️
@@user-ql8ez2kh8k I do compliment the efforts made by the northmen to establish peace and progress in the land but I don't believe in dividing Somali land. Somalialand is in fact not sovereign country and that is undeniable truth. The oppression of the freedom of speech, the arresting the journalists and activists and the selling the land to greedy arabs opened the gates of choas to Somalialand. I don't know the point of seeking independent after 30 years wasted.
@@user-ql8ez2kh8k I agree with some of your points. Somaliland and Somalia should work on strengthening each others economy through mutual respect and dialogue. Somalia and somaliland should both work together in removing their debt owed to the world bank, promoting free trade and freedom of movement between their people and investing in climate smart agriculture technologies to enhance agricultural productivity. But somaliland and Somalia can both accomplish alot together as a team. Somaliland has one option. Work with the federal government of Somalia through a coordinated form of federalism in which somaliland has greater autonomy in its affairs. Somaliland cannot force its people to succeed from Somalia when a majority dont want to.
@@mrhassanali3297 when a majority don’t want to? Wllo akhri sentenceka one more time?…
So similar to what happened/happening in Syria.
I just hope that one day you’ll be able to do an episode from Syria (any part) and be both free and safe.

@@abdurrahmanisse6729 Lool but gaalos are recognizing that we are doing better than the entire somalia in the real world. Even white ppl always ask why somalia has recognition and not somaliland.
Somalia is fucking poor nation, and Somaliland is fucking dry state in it. Who cares!
I hope you will interview the Somali military pilot who REFUSED to bomb Hargeisa July 13 1988. His name is Ahmed Mohamed Hassan who lives in Europe " not disclosing his exact resident'. He has a valuable information what happen at that horrible era.
Fuck him the coward!

Yes
@new soul they actually make really nice pets. They are quite small which makes them considerably less dangerous than a lion.
I have come across them on foot in the wild quite frequently and in truth they don't scare me. They could pack a punch but you know they know you could also quite easily kill them also. They are generally small weighing about 40 kg although I hear they can get as large as 70kg. They don't have claws like a cat(retractable) so they are not so sharp. They are more like a big dog.
I've been aware of my ignorance about the African continent for a few years now, but never actually did anything about it. Your videos are a great starting point, and so so so so so important. Thank you for this channel.
Edit: I think this is the first video I've supported on patreon, and my money couldn't be better spent!

I'm loving the channel lately. I didn't know of all this stuff, so I'm glad that I do now. We should remember for the sake of the victims of these horrendous crimes. Also, we should remember so we don't repeat the same mistakes.

The dictator destroyed the country and Somaliland was born.
Yonis Adan Somaliland existed before there was a Somalia. In fact Somaliland made the flag and the national anthem. Now that belongs to Somalia , it’s a present they can keep because peace is much more expensive.

Best video narrator on TH-cam. Thank you
Thanks for this lesson, I never knew about this genocide before .
It is called isaaq genocide 😢
not advertiser friendly because it's not CNN making the video
All i can say is THANK YOU BRO,
Somaliland is the Africa's best kept secret✊🏽
Your narration has painted the picture so real and well detailed.
That video was amazing thank you.
Quite frankly one of the best channels on TH-cam. I feel like I grow as a person hearing these stories

I was in Hargeisa 1988. I remember just like IT was yesterday. I was 5 years old. Walaahi i swear sametime i feel or thought what i sow was a dream i dont believ IT was real Even i Sow or been there .... subxanalaah
Mohamed Farrah Aidid, a Somali warlord stated a basic truth when he said "No victory, no peace". As scary as that is to contemplate it holds a very real kernal of truth.
His son was a US Marine who was stationed in Somalia who has since returned to Somalia after the death of his father to take up the tribal banner.
No civil war in human history has ended till one side lost. Yes there have been cease fires but only a short lull in the fighting. No victory, no peace. This fact will haunt Somalia!
why Isaaqs (northerns) wre being targeted was that the Isaaqs clearly refused the dictatorship, communism, the lack of power sharing and justice and all the corrupt culture of southerns that took over the union government. They sacrificed their everything for freedom and demoqracy. That is pure braveness.
Yet the monster Barre was himself supported and propped up by the United States.
Sadly, these sort of things are a lot more complicated than the clean 'communism vs democracy' narratives we would like to think.
Abdikarim Abdi Ibrahim It's actually very simple,They betrayed their own country and sided with ethiopia and (snm)a terrorist group for no reason at all,barre Didn't discriminated any one from North to south till they started to side with ethopian founded rebels,and other movements aided by the Arab countries

They would sacrifice every Isaak to make sure they won but in the end they still lost. Sweet Music to my ears.
Long Live SNM, the greatest and bravest guerrilla fighters in Africa. By the grace of the lord Hargeisa, the capital of the republic of Somaliland is prosperous today.

I miss your dads content; love your diverse content. Thanks ;)
Thank you for an informative video, once again. This makes the reason, why there are so many Somali refugees in Finland also, much clearer.
I will never forget about this history, I was very young but I still remember it so clearly.
Thank you for this video
Great job!
"they were bombed to dust but people are made of dust" truly an amazing video, you never cease to impress Evan
I witnessed the carnage with my bare eyes. I pray not see such human tragedy again in my life. The infantries, tanks and airforce all thirst to kill and butcher the unwary who were running away. I survived anyway with dirty hallucinations.
I'm so glad you're making videos like this at this rate, your content is so good.
how, just how this channel is so criminally undersubscribed
I feel the pain again and again when someone intentionally or unintentionally denies.
Especially intenationally denies. And that is where our division exist. Not recognising our pain.
this is an impartial documentary for the massacre which many of my people including my family suffered because of blind policy of the brutes of Somalia. salute to you. your eloquence and elaboration made me nightmares of brutality haunt me. images of execution and my flight as a child won't be erased by songs of unity!
Rare earth thanks for being the voice of the voiceless. I see a lot of people from south claiming that Somalia’s civil war effected almost every one and every town. But keep in mind that the civil war between clans started in 1991 but, in the case of somaliland we are talking about between 1980-1990 when the siyad’s regime was in full power. We talking about unprecedented brutality committed by government to its civilians. Apparently, almost every family in the lost a member of his family to this war. Somalia’s story from 1991 is different, and northerners have nothing to do with that.
If anyone wants a detailed account of the atrocities committed during the Hargeisa Holocaust, i highly recommended you read the Isaaq Genocide Wikipedia article. It has 200 references and is accurately sourced.
Link: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaaq_genocide
This video got a clarification blurb about the holocaust. I hope they dont demonetize you for that (if you were counting on monetization). You've really stepped up your content...and I'm glad you're "still breathing", although your wife still hiding seems the smart move here (for her...of course you have to do the video stuff). FYI...I just signed up to support you on your Patreon page.

Soo True!.. love it! Thk you..
soon Somaliland will be member of international nations as it was 59 years ago
Let's be realistic. There is no a single nation will to recognize Somalia, the only way is Somalia to recognize it's thriving state, and it's almost impossible.
Abdurrahman Isse Serbia didn’t recognize Kosovo and they were recognized by the UN. So it’s possible to achieve independence without the parent countries blessing.
@@Wars7498 Kosovo is recognized by 69 countries worldwide, after declaring independence in a week. Somalialand declared independence 30 years ago, and not a single country recognized yet. Kosovo and Somalialand are incomparable.
@@Wars7498 Usa uk France Germany etc supported kosovo but in this case they only support. Somalia!!🤦♂️
swifty , there’s no specific way to get recognition. It’s comes down to the political situation of the country. I see a scenario of Somaliland/Somalia talks breaking down after many attempts. Then Somaliland will probably request a referendum observed by the international community accepted by the UN. Once Somalilanders vote for independence then the international community would have to except the results and recognize them. This might take 15-20 years or longer.
Great video and we hope Somaliland officially gets recognized insha allah
Challe, Liberland and Sealand recognize Somalialand, Somalia and UK are next.
Good Luck from kabylia as we also were genocided in a forgoten genocide sadly.
Thanks brother
Change your language and culture. Stop calling yourselves somali. you are free to do whatever you want
Wow the comments on these last few videos have really been something. Strange that those who dogmatically insist on unity (anywhere in the world) often seem to exhibit exactly none of the traits I would associate with people capable of uniting people. They usually end up demanding conformity, not unity.
Absolutely. All they can offer is hate and threat while demanding for unconditional unity.how ironic that is
And there was me expecting Falluja in 2005....
Same offer given and pretty similar result.
I was in country at the time....it was genocide too against Saddams Tribal heartland.
Peace

Iraq was an illegal war and I hope to God the day will come where my people - the American people - will no longer stand for such atrocities. The song we sing is changing, we as a people are weary from constant war. As time goes on, our tolerance for the deplorable acts of the rich and powerful wanes. I hope there comes a day when we rise up and say we will not stand for this any longer. When that day comes, I will put my life on the line to make sure our efforts are not wasted, and I hope every other American reading this would do the same.
Hi Rare Earth, are you thinking of making another video? I'm very interested in what you think about Singapore, and whether dictatorship can be a viable mode of governance
