Maritime borders?

These types of regional videos, but next time maybe start with Africa instead of ending it with them. They are already pushed back far enough Also I like your what if states/provinces/territories became independent videos

The North America Disputes, like the Hans Island and the north pole claims?

You need update regarding the Moroccan Sahara now morocco added guergarat in the borders with mauritania to its territory after it was an unarmed zone patrolled by MINORSO or UN soldiers and the UN doesn't recognize the polisario front as a legitimate representor of the sahrawi people but recognize the Moroccan solution as realistic which is autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty and criticize the polisario for its action more than 20 consulates has opened and will open including the US consulate which recognizes the Sahara as a part of the Moroccan territory

Thank you for the explanation.

i was wondering why south africa is claiming the whole river because usually river borders go straight down the middle of the river not up to including the opposite shore.

Diamonds always spell disaster for countries. The majority of countries who discover diamonds end up in corruption. A real shame really because discovering diamonds should allow countries to develop but very rarely end up being a positive.

@@alexnorth691 namibia has a very good reputation with the diamond mining industry. My husband, his father and my own parents all worked for the company (Namdeb) it was one of the first towns in Namibia to fully integrate schools, even before the end of apartheid. They put a great deal of effort into safety and women's rights in the workplace. So it's a really progressive industry here and rarely gets bad press. The word "dispute" is almost too heavy. It's just that SA and Nam haggled over its ownership when Namibia became independent. Namibia had practically separated entirely long before independence, but the main harbours and river were a few years in discussion, or it would have happened before 1989. SA got its fare share of rights to mine along the coast on both sides. So I wouldn't say that anyone is unhappy about how it was handled, each just tried to get the best possible deal tbh. As far as African corruption with diamond mining goes, Namibia is a damn saint. Shit gets rough when you hear about what's going on in Angola, it gets insane man

@@fiffihoneyblossom5891 great to hear about all the positives happening in Namibia in relation to diamonds. It’s the way every country should be! But yes, Angola really have struggled. I’m interested in Namdeb now, I’m going to look up about the company haha! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻

How about noooooo

@@mrbobby6841 no they just migrated when the British came

@@bruhz_089 Yeah that makes sense.

There's also another dispute in Somalia, a territory called Puntland. However, Somaliland has the strongest claim in it's territory

The republic Somaliland is country But putland is federal state of somalia there is no dispute among them But Somaliland took its independence from British 26 June 1960 And return 18 may 1991 from rest of somalia Unfortunately it's get recognition

@@abokorkalay9630 it’s ironic too because puntland isn’t even the historically accurate region it was named after

@@abokorkalay9630 Somaliland is apart of Somalia. They only "left" because the central government collapsed after the Ogaden War.

we have a maritime dispute with kenya, a border dispute with ethiopia, we might claim socotra, and on top of all of that we also claim everywhere in greater somalia. we have a thing for disputes.

@Aaden Barbara yes, I do. That is most likely where I learnt that fact from

@@ejbarker10 bird guano is not a useful source of phosphorous any more. It is easier to mine it from evaporite deposits and chemically upgrade it.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm also surprised

@@General.Knowledge Thanks. You, too.

whatifalthist did a similar video with south africa in it

@@sodapop1794 but that is future, not past

It's inevitable in my opinion. I'm South African and am currently supporting an independence movement in the western cape and some people in the movement insist we claim the Northern Cape as well. That's not all, the KwaZulu-Natal province which historically is the Zulu-homeland are currently also undergoing a independence movement claimed by the Zulu Prince himself. Lesotho is also claiming lands to the North of its territory and like the video says, Swaziland is also aiming to get ALL its territory back. I seriously don't see this country being united by the end of the century.

@@tigervalley62 maybe there can be a new Boer rebuplic

@@SAVAGE-oe3fg: Perhaps. I don't know what will happen in the future but the possibility is certainly not off the table. Maybe the movement I am supporting in the western Cape will be that new republic, who knows. Edit: Or Oranje in the Free State will seek international recognition. Forgot about that one.

Same fellow

Thank you!

In 10000 years lol

I think that the pronunciation matter isn't important because with the different languages there is barriers like the letter "ح" doesn't doesn't have replacements in english and its not a big deal in the first place but the hard "e" sound is kind of annoying to be honest

And I'm happy that you took the video chill a lot of people go crazy when their country is in a territorial dispute

BLANK

I agree

Ol

Some of the african countries are divded by their older empires (burkina faso and mali came to mind)

Somaliland vs somalia

Yep Western Sahara declared war on Morocco which now gives Morocco leverage to wipe out what remains of if. They, and their people in the exile camps, unfortunately have become tools of Algerian, and formerly Libyan, socialists.

Sad that this is still happening and that so many people actually support Morocco

@@TheRealKingLeopoldII supporting morocco is the most reasonable thing to do to end this misery

@@adamgq7625 if Morocco just let these people have the freedom they want it would be good

@@TheRealKingLeopoldII it's not that easy

What about cities where one tribe has 30%, another tribe has 25%, and yet another tribe has 20%? Also how precise the division should be? When some region has 60% of one tribe will they get it whole? Or will you take parts that have majority of different tribe. And in these parts, will you give it to those, or with you fragment it more to single villages? What if you end up with thousands of enclaves and exclaves? Also who do you consider native? Someone who was born in the land? Someone who was born in the land before 1960? Or someone who is descendant of those who lived there before 1880s? Or if we apply same standards as in America, someone whose ancestors where there before 1492.

@@stafer3 Never thought I would get to share my solutions to such problems, I have 3 solutions: 1) No city, town, village or any settlement will be divided since it will harm the local economy, 2) No exclaves or enclaves smaller than a certain limit will be allowed (I haven't decided on what the limit should be yet), and 3) I think anyone whose family has lived in the region for 100 years should be considered a native and should get a say...

@@tronation1932 OK, and how would you do enforcement of those borders? Like pretty common example in Africa is that smaller tribe has its territory full of resources so bigger tribe doesn’t want to grant them autonomy. Who would be the arbiter and sending troops to keep them that way. When some tribe of 50 million will think that it’s unfair that some region with 10 thousand people gets to be independent.

@@stafer3 I didn't really understand what you wrote...

@@tronation1932 Borders need enforcement otherwise you end up in situation like all these cases in this video. One side says line should be like this, other side says line should be like that and then stronger side occupies it and line is like that.

Oml... Just... You know what he meant and everyone else did Stop looking for petty things like that just to be annoying

@@angelmatesmolan Prove it.

Amharic is Ethiopian

@@yodamaster445 no it is originally a semetic language and an ancient yemenite language

@@Realgoatdebate for real i thought it was more similar with akkadian ,the most similar languages with ancient yemeni are languages like harari,and siltinga

@@enrico7474 actually amharic is a south western semitic language while akkadian is oriental semitic language. The most relatable semitic language to amharic is ancient south arabian that appeared in yemen (as both amharic and south arabian are southwestern semetic language and by the way they're the only one), another important thing, is that the ethio-somali component who introduced semetuc languages to east africa and ancestral haplogroup J crossed to the horn from yemen, and there is a lot of theories suggesting the yemenite origin of the amhara people.

@Greater Somalia nope. they speak amharic which is an old Yemeni language. and lands dosent come always by the nearst landmass.

All maps refer to it as Western Sahara

It's western Sahara and this is their flag 👉🇪🇭

So I'm making a joke here as an American. The United States has in it's foreign policy to support Moroccan claims in the area. Morocco has been a US ally for a very long time. Thus I made a joke that it was southern Morocco.

@@Makem12 Okay. Thanks for clarifying. There are some very incendiary comments from Moroccans making the same claim but not as a joke.

@@Makem12 maybe for you it's a joke but for saharaui people is a very serious thing. they have been patients for over 45 years with their claims with the un and many people have already died. I think that what Trump did supporting an oppressive and invading people is very bad.

Why do they claim it? It doesn't make sense geographically since the country is located at the other side of the arabian peninsula on the persian gulf.

@@haroeneissa790 good place for a naval base by the red sea

@@kieranburg4823 ok that makes sense since its close to the red sea and the nearby strait. But i mean what narrative do they use to claim it. I mean, iceland could also claim the island if they want but they wouldnt be taken seriously because they have nothing to do with the island.

@Greater Somalia its not part of somalia since somalia cant say anything that happens in SL

@Greater Somalia i mean somalia cant gouvern SL and they have been gouvering themselfes for 30 years. Why in their rightmind would they want to give that up to rejoin somalia?

@Greater Somalia if you are talking about sool and sanaag half of those belong to isaaq. So whats your idea you cant force poeple to join something they dont want!

@Greater Somalia somalia has not been a country for almost 30 years. So it doesnt really matter. And if you look at the clan map half of sool and sanaag belong to isaaq clan. Maybe if the darood part want to stay with somalia its their choice
