And this is why i love somali people, they are always business minded & they are very smart people, more africans should start doing what this brother did, china is literally exploiting africa in front of our eyes! It can not be possible that a person who invested in his country cannot even mine while having paid 300k, but a chinese company would be welcome… Major love to my somali brother from a congolese 🇨🇩❤️🇸🇴

This is one of the best documentaries aljazeera done on Somali people.

He's an amazing dad, he loves his children and they love him back and he finally succeeded with his mining company. I'm so happy for him, may he continue to prosper. Thanks Al Jazeera for showing such positive African stories.

This is such a beautiful story. I can't stop crying. It makes me really proud to be black but most importantly to be an African. There's so much we can achieve as a people when we unite. Love from 🇿🇦

I am a Habesha from Ethiopia who live in Europe and I am happy for this somali brother, he has a good soul

I watched and cry I love ❤️ very much this real story documentary. We pray for Mustafa the day of Arafa from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Love from Papua New Guinea to brother Mustafe,his beautiful family,his clan and all the beautiful people of Somaliland. May God Bless you all.

Love somali from eritrea🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷

Thank you Mustafa for raising your children to love Africa and in an African way...... Because Africa is beautiful and so so rich!!!! You never forgot the dream of your grandfather!!! You are a wonderful son of Africa!!! May you thrive and rich greater heights even more than you ever imagined!! I've cried so much watching this because I didn't want you to fail or give up!!! We cannot leave our motherland, our continent to the chinese!!! Africa is beautiful and rich!!!!

Great to see his beautiful family persevering in their homeland in such a meaningful way. Many Somalis are returning home to take part on the reconstruction of their country.

The children are speaking very well in Somali, well done to the parents 👏🏻

The Somalis are very smart industrious people you can already see the progress they are making after 30 years of war I hope peace prevails. ✌️

I watched half of it and I'm crying inside. This story goes into my heart so deeply because I identify with this man's story as a man who grew up in the civil war outbreak!

Brave man. Africa needs more of you

Aljazeera this is a fantastic piece of educational documentary. Huge respect and many thanks for Mustafe's adopted Finnish 🇫🇮 parents. Especially the caring mum. Alxamduillahii so proud of Mustafe and the wonderful family they turned out to be.. 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

A powerful story and it inspires me to go back to my country and develop it myself. It’s sad the government is not wise enough to recognize the importance of building a home grown industries rather than selling the country’s resources to foreigners. I hope it recognizes eventually the important of elevating their citizens over foreign companies. I hope they make it easier for the locals and the Somali diaspora coming back home to start their own business. I am grateful at the end, he developed his own company and united the clans.

I've the same roots and experience as Mustafe and feel his pros and cons. I left Britain 11 years ago and established a school back 8n Somaliland however I see the diaspora Somalis coming to the country and quickly loosing hope fast and returning to the west. I urge them to hold on and plan life before coming here as Mustafa. Very great father and respectful. Hope to meet him one day insha Allaah

One of the best documentary I have watched. Like this man, I also left when the civil war broke out at age 6 to a Nordic country, came back 2 and half years ago to Somaliland after being away for 30 plus years. I always wanted to do something over here but find it hard dealing with the people/Government because of vast different cultural experiences and tribal mindsets. After few months of being here I have been uninspired and experienced low mood. Watching this documentary have re energized me and given me strength. I thank Aljazeera team for this video and I hope to have Mustafe's drive and energy one day. I wish you the best and hope to visit the site one day.

Somalia is a rich country and the somali people know that. It is just a matter of time till the tables are turned by the likes of this man. Kudos mustaf for being an inspiration to all of us

A touching story. The children are a delight.

I am a mining engineer and I,ve worked in Somaliland, I can feel everything he faced, and I am proud that he tried. Our community is welcomed community honestly, but the real obstacles are the gov't and the clan system as he mentioned. The family part of the documentary is lovely, Mashalah. I hope he returns and continue fighting 🙏

Having been to Mogadishu 3 times during the famine for humanitarian work I really hope this documentary will inspire more Africans to return to build the continent to the next level. As an oversea Chinese we contributed a lot of support to mainland China during the difficult times and I hope more and more overseas African will do the same especially Somalia which was once the most beautiful place in Africa.

This guy is a legend. I like how is teaching his kids to adapt the new Environment, the same way he adapted Finland culture and harsh weather.

This is one of the best fathers ive ever seen. May Allah grant him success. Make duaa for him

mustafe story is so inspiring,we all need to invest back in our countries regardless of the challenges we may face. One love to my fellow Somali brother Mustafe and his beautiful family

My name is Happy Khalif from state of Minneaota! Here I would like to say that this film was both bitter-sweet situation for me .. for one it made me smile and happy to see family coming back home to Hargeisa and trying to make a living and enjoying their daily life and for two it’s saddened me when I realized that we undermine our own and empower foreigners .. this land was there to provide for us for centuries; when will we help one another achieve any thing ? When? May the Almighty help us💚

Wow! Your grandfather was truly an exceptional man! He would be very proud of you!

I admire and adore Somalian people. They are smart, work as a team and love business. It's a pity politics has messed up their country.

Amazing father and a beautiful family, allahumma barik. Can’t wait to see more from him. May Allah bless him in this world and the hereafter

The part I loved most is where he said his grandfather called the wild animals, lion and cheetahs and sat down with them. Pure African spirituality. Being able to commune with nature

As a Finn I liked this documentary very much. On the other hand it showed the huge differences between the Somaliland and Finland, but on the other hand also how well people are able to overcome differences and problems when they work together to achieve that. I also felt that people on the documentary were shown and they showed themselves as they are, which made the watching an intimate experience. Thank you!/Kiitos!

Congrats Mustaf and your beautiful family for daring to go back to establish business in Somalia. What you have done is not easy and only a brave and determined person can dare to do that.

Africas need like this man, mustafe is a real legend😍

This documentry is so good and sad at the same time, it shows me time and time again the leaders in Africa they aren't ready for the better and unity of the continent, and the other sad thing is they neglect the people so much to the point they even don't know their rights. Thank you brother, your family and Aljazeera for this wonderful work.

I’m Eritrean American and I wish I was able to go back to my country ( Eritrea) to live and invest. But I can’t due to the dictatorship ruling the country! Good luck my Somali brother.

I don't know why iwas crying 😭 but really I feel so hurt seing the struggle and threats they went through..God is still giving them protection....much love from Uganda fellow Cushite... welcome back Home my the lord continue blessing you and protecting you and your family 💕

Great documentary. Shows why underdevelopment in Africa persists - many cases of inept governments who will give advantage to foreigners and undermine their own people.

Masha ALLAH for him to strive and try at least no matter how many barriers he faced that is a man who grew up in the west and kept his religion and traditions we all feel his story stuck in limbo nomad

This is our dreams that shall never die. Our beloved motherland is waiting us. We must do better, we must prosper. Remember no pain no gain. Dare to do what ever dream you have in the line with our norms and values. Best wishes for this brother and his beautiful family and his adopted parent. Very kind and lovely people.

Thanks for going back home, Africa is our only home and it must be developed by us, Africans. God bless you, you are a courageous man and a great example for fellow Africans. 🙏.

Major love to my somali brother fom Ethiopia. Mustafe, you are a true son of earth. you always want to be good person where ever you live. your life, family and work toutch me deeply.. I hope many african learn from yourjourney. What a beautiful family.. I want hear you more abut your business. what you did to work with both clans was actually what Africans needs to caltivate.

I have enjoyed every bit of the documentary. Mr. Mustafe has taught me never to give up, to always go for what I want and to listen to those' little voices' in my mind that tells me,'' never give up son...''

That little girl is hilarious! they way she was freaking out about seeing traffic lights and bus stops again 😂 She's so adorable 😍

Very smart guy who came back to his own country somaliland, he grew up in fineland and studied and brought back his education back home somaliland, thank you, never give up carry on your goals, allah will help you brother, I also grew up in the West Europe, but I came back long time ago, I missed my country for long time, but I am glad that we are as family living in somaliland. There are huge differences between living in the West and African.

All Somalis must return home to develop their nation. Home sweet home.

Mustafa your such a great man ! Proud of you brother 🇰🇪

I love his selflessness when he says that what is underground isn't for Somaliland alone but enough for all of Africa Kenyan representative here

This was a powerful and necessary story, I applaud the bravery of Mustafe and every member of his family. I feel their return to the continent profoundly echoes, that given an opportunity to fend for ourselves, grow self and society, young and old African migration to the south of the continent and Europe is MAINLY done to change very dire lived experiences. I am happy for Jasmine, she was very expressive and had these authentic expressions not minimized by the changes. Glad that the children had this two-year stint in the motherland. Once again am in awe of this family and for Mustafe bringing about a mining collaboration inclusive of the diverse clans. This strategy highly places Africans at the table, rather than the strategy of our governments selling our rights. Consequently, leaving us to 'participate' as poor and sickly bystanders who live in destroyed lands after the ferocious ravaging of our resources, lands, and labor by multinationals who will never care for the being of Africa and its people. ( we are dispensable people)

I hope one of his kids grows up and writes a book about this. Seems Jasmin would be the best at narrating the experience.

Good film love Somalia people 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴❤ from Senegal.

My parents also took me back to Somalia 🇸🇴 at around the age 10 & I’m just reminiscing on how my experience coming back to the motherland (Hargeysa) was so similarly to these kids, I’ll forever be grateful for the experience that I had. I grew so much as a person & I’m so grateful my world view was expanded by seeing my beautiful homeland & people. MashaAllah to the parent for showing his kids what home is like & teaching them to love their homeland, whilst teaching them Somali.

A wonderful story and showed a great piece of how countries and different cultures can help each other today. I hope life in Africa goes well and it certainly won't be easy, but I fully understand that homesickness comes to everyone at some point in life. With hard work, you will surely do great things over there 💪 all the best to your family. 🇫🇮

heart touching documentary really, its lovely to see my Country and Continent flourishing this way. Thanks to AL-Jazeera and their wonderful team for their devoting to tell the real story at any cost. many thanks indeed. Mustafe, gentle man who made a real discorevy of the of the country's resources and reserves.

Mashaallah good documentary.i love how the children have already learnt the Quran and the Somali language so quickly.

Awesome Documentary...... The Kids are very Fluent on the Somali Language.... Thanks to the Parents, Great Parenting..... Kudos Kenya 🇰🇪

This is also my plan and working on it to move back to 🇪🇹 Ethiopia to ancestor land of freedom.

I have alot of Somalian friends. Good people with a big heart and they are always smiling allhumdullilah. Also very business minded. They know how to make money.

Respect to this somalilander father . Keep your head up and work on your dream and don't give up. Live for something better than living for nothing.

I really respect the people of Finland for being so tolerant & having respect for us Somali’s! Love Finland 🇫🇮! Amazing documentary Al Jazeera! Respect from 🇺🇸🇸🇴!

what bonding between their adopted mom and grandparents!!!!

what a wonderful wife am crying how good she is to her husband.

I loved watching this ❤ from Kenya 🇰🇪

There are so many great people in Finland. There is something about the Finland that you fall in love. The human heart finds peace during beautiful autumn 🍂 and there is no summer like Finnish Summer. I wish this man and his family all the best in life.

Thank you for this wonderful video! It is a beautiful story of perseverance. The children are adorable, but in the end, the part I liked the most is the collaboration Mustafe has developed with a neighboring clan. May this land be blessed with peace and prosperity.

This was great to watch! What a beautiful life story. Courage, resilience and honor. This family is blessed.

A profoundly beautiful story. Significant on so many levels. Thank you to Mustafe and his family for sharing their journey with us. A powerful piece of filmmaking.

Such a beautiful story..beautiful souls….We are AfricA

He speaks good Somali even though he left the country young age masha allh

My Somali wife Just showed me this video. Guys I'm in tears 😭

May ALLAH guide and bless that old white lady and her husband. Wallahi they have clean hearts

What a well thought out documentary!! Good to see Mustafa persevering in the face of age old barriers and breaking the norm.

As a somalian who never visited before this documentary is eye opening

One thing I love about our people is that we can integrate with any kind of people who also have that mutual love for us and we very open minded as well. This was a masterpiece of a Doc thank you Aljazeera💙🏆

Somaliland is a beautiful country and this documentary is so nice I can't stop watching.

No matter where you go, remember the road that leads you home.

What a great, encouraging and motivating documentary!! This is how to make an African story documentary contrary the cliche prejudicial stories being pushed out by media companies and KZfaqrs around the world on a day to day basis. Yes, Africa has its share of poverty and struggle but basing stories particularly on the same issue is even more demoralising to fellow Africans as much as it is fun for the foreign creators in making. BBC Africa should take notes!! Thank you AL JAZEERA!

I enjoyed the stories he told his family of his youth. Great documentary.

Somali people are amazingly resilient despite facing enormous challenges in their country

I loved this documentary so much 😭 It shows the depth of this family of Somilands people's character, genuineness and love, I could not have known before. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊

May Bless and Protect This Man and His Family. Keep on thriving Guys and you get there in the end. What a beautiful Family Bless you Guys.

Our country has a rich minerals but lack of leadership.

I am rooting so hard for this wonderful man and his lovely family - what a visionary!

Please Aljazeera follow this story, love to see if he makes his millions such an interesting story.

Mashallah you are trying so hard to make something of yourself and make a difference in the country, I commend you for it. It is something which I think most of us who are in the diaspora share, to make a difference and live in our country. Nothing good ever came easy, stay committed we are proud of you. Stay strong walaal.

Awesome what a brave smart patriotic man expressing devotion to support for his luv to his people and his homeland , also he's fearless moving back to his country with his family who're also brave agreeable cooperative warm kind wife and children , may Allah protect u and make u accomplished ur dream of making ur country and ur people prosper iand succeed in material term n life , amiin , happy Eid-al-adxa to all my somaliland-ers 🙏💞

What an amazing documentary, I absolutely love it, somaliland is a beautiful place and so is Somalia, what a brave man, and what a good wife and kids, it’s better fir them there, they learn their language, culture, religion and are treated as they should be. I came back from Hargeisa 3 months back fir the first time and it’s the best place on earth, it takes determination to not sell it to the Chinese for 500k as it’s very tempting, keep going brother. hyvin tehty ystäväni💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

at the beginning it really sounded scary giving up the easy life in Europe and going back to Africa but at the end it really show cases how so many of us are not living our potentials

Congratulations Mustafe Hasan. May Allah bless you and your family. Nice documentary which shows richness and beautifulness of our country.

Mustafa is a hardworking man and he came from another country to do something for his country, he faced many challenges but God made it easy for Mustafa where he was going to, my city is about 50km away and we are about 110km west of Somaliland. I hope to God that he will solve everything and I wish him success, God willing 🇸🇴 🇸🇴

Beautiful and touching documentary, also kudos to mustafe for what he is doing for his family and country.

I am from Finland. Nice to see this video.

A very beautiful and heart-warming documentary Alhamdulillah, may Allah bless the family and everyone featured and involved ameen!

such a beautiful doc to watch. Thanks AJ for shedding a bright light on this matter and best of luck to Mustafe and his family with their endeavors.

I watched the whole video , i could not even skip 10 seconds of it . It really gave me chills how this guy never forgot his own homeland despite all that he has been through .

Wow finland treatment of foreigners is very beautiful. Great people

What I realized is that we Africans are not alert to grown our selves we are against each other and paved the way for foreigners to exploit us .So Be aware and respect each other and Make our selves Great! When we make our difference more the enemy will be nearer to US and took all the resources thaw God gave for Us .Musteffe's endeavor is lovely and awakening the others. May Allah Be with your lovely family and have a better success to You and all Africa!

Great. This is what people from under developed countries living in developed countries must do. Go back to their homeland and help it develop.

What a wonderful Man and wonderful family!

A touching Story And Whole family Is delight but the best part is Mustafe’s Wife With Out Her coloration He won’t succeed Maashaa alaah Maashaa alaah Alaha Protect to you all And Make Great Your Homeland And don’t forget that you have second Homeland
