I'm just here (January 2, 2024) to tell y’all that Ethiopia has become the first country to recognise Somaliland as an independent.

Somaliland and Ethiopia LOVE each other.

Somaliland Is peaceful and better than Somali they deserve recognition

Am soo impressed Such a democratic country It's time for UN and other international communities to approve this as a sovereign state It's more organized than war ravaged somalia

I’m here bc my Lyft driver in Boston told me he was from Somaliland and I wanted to know more about the country. Wishing further peace and prosperity

Even as a kid, I always wondered why the world didn't bother to recognize Somaliland. Despite the world turning a cold shoulder to them, they still have a better track record than the "official" Somalian government.

Now this a a fair representation of my country! Thank you mate! Us landers truly appreciate this!!

I love being from Somaliland!❤We are not war ridden poor people.I can go outside without worrying i will be robbed

You really did your homework on this one, very good. *from a Somalilander*

Viva somaliland from Djibouti

We appreciate you 🙏 about our beloved country Somaliland 💚 🤍 ❤️ Thanks again and again 🙏

Somaliland and Somalia was two different countries, Somaliland was its own country before going into illegal and unratified union domestically and internationally. 1. We are not separists, colonial part or rebels trying to separate Somalia, but we was Internationally recognised country older than Somalia, having our colonial borders just like the rest of Africa and the World. 2. Somaliland have the right to end the failed union with Somalia, just like Gambia and Senigal Egypt and Syria and Gambia. 3. Somalia destroyed our cities and wholly our country, they killed more than 200,000 civilians, maimed of more than that and displacing millions. 4. Somaliland was independent and out of that failed union longer than the years of illegal union. 5. Somalia has zero control over Somaliland, we have our own democratically elected government, money, flag, anthem, military, police, banks and our way of dealing with the rest of the world. 6. The UN should accept the divorce between Somaliland and Somalia.

This was the most detailed video i have ever seen about somaliland Indeed we yet Don't have any recognition but we stepping on the path of development Am one of worker's tasked with the oil production project ( Block SL10B Toosan one) That has a reserve over 5.5billion barrels The build up construction is estimated to 40million dollars signed by genel and the full production will only start after the first 5yrs with daily estimation of 50-100k barrels of oil per day That will double the government revenue 3times as it is now Somaliland as whole has over 30billion barrels of oil onshore So this will not be the only oilwell in somaliland Our plan is to construct 2others at the end of 2030 Right now we at the last stage of informing the locals And everything to start smoothly And I hope peace for the people of the east and whole somaliland

She is peace full country! From 🇪🇹

You 100% gotta do more geography videos! You way you use maps makes it so appealing to watch!

Somaliland is one of the countries on the African continent with a bright future because of its location in the black continent.

I'm curious, if recognising Somaliland might potentially lead to more African sucessionist movements, then why didn't this happen when South Sudan became independent?

We will get int'l recognition soon❤. We appreciate to post this Vedio 🙏🙏❤️❤️ thank you again

Ethiopia just recognized Somaliland today on Jan 1, 2024...Interesting times..

Us a Somalilander I’m glad to Hear the Truth. Thank you .

I enjoyed your video, Thank you.

Should be recognized as an independent country..bravo somaliland!

Somaliland 🟢⚪️🔴

Amazing presentation. Thank you.

I am for Somaliland. She must revive history and rise as the Adal Kingdom.

Thanks. I ppreciate the way you tell the Truth. One love somalilander 🇭🇺

It's great to see the channel cover Somaliland, I have followed the country over the last decade and they are doing great things. I wish they could get recognised at some point soon. Love from Kenya.

Thanks. I appreciate the way you present the truth.

I am a somalilander man and I live in the district of Sheikh. I really enjoyed your video. Thank you. May God bless you.

thank you, for doing this paramount video.

Two dozen or more years ago I read an article in National Geographic about Somaliland, and I hope they get the recognition as a sovereign state soon. While Somalia tears itself apart over power, Somaliland was trying to be better, calmer and safer, while growing their democracy. Hats off to Somaliland from the United States and best of luck.

Thank you very much ❤

Thank you Sir.. Somaliland Is peacfull and the country is devoloping...We are Welcoming every one who loves peace Thankz❤❤❤❤

I know a girl who’s from there and she told us to stop confusing us with the other Somali.

I love the name Djibouti!

#Somaliland #recognition #country #Somalia 💚🤍❤

How much does it cost for Nauru to recognise Somaliland?

Brilliant video 👊🏾❤️

Thank you very much to give us real information

O Allah! Raise the standing of Islam and Muslims, and let our country Somaliland and all the Muslim countries be peaceful and prosperous. By Your Mercy, O The Most Merciful. O Allah, help our brothers in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Allah, be for them and do not be against them, Allah, take revenge on their enemies, and cast terror into their hearts, and turn their plots against them.

thank you for telling the truth. may allah protect truth and may allah help us to overcome this problem in Somaliland

Thanks brother keep up the good work 👏👏👍

Very detailed and source full video.❤

I liked how quality and best explained your vidoe somaliland🎉, I hope they get recognition because they deserve it, and I think you are an example for Africa, moving forward, you are better than many recognized countries.❤

thank you for tell the truth of the republic of somaliland... ♥♥♥♥

Somalialand is peaceful country deserve to recognize ❤

nonsense, the country is Somalia. just like Tanzania it is unification of two states. Zanzibar unified with Tanganyika and Tanzania was formed.

SSC -- Khatumo is regional administration separate from somaland and the map should reflect their territorial boundary.

SNM are my heroes 🥺

🥰me as somalilander i loved haw you represent us thanks for this it mean alot 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜⬜🖤⬜⬜ 🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥 Somaliland for ever✊🏻

If you give recognition for Eritrea, you should too Somaliland.

I'm from ethopia 🇪🇹 one day somaliland will be recognised

Somaliland is not Somalia. That is what we want history to repeat itself.

MY MOM IS FROM HARGEISA AND SHE WAS 11 YEARS OLD 3:57 And my dad is from Mogadishu 5:13

im somali and thank so much for making this

thank you for educating me about somaliland!!!! from saylac city.❤

My country somaliland 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

Thrilled to have seen this deep information very late! In 2024, the world is finally come to terms with the reality on the ground!

If it wants recognition Then it definitely needs a better name

One thing to note about Somaliland, is that all tribes are welcomed there, siad barre was of the Darood marexan clan, today you will find marexan and other member of the Darood clan living in peace without issue m, There is small part of somaliland where Darood inhabit who want to now not be part of Somali land so they start attacking innocent people l, offcourse Somaliland can’t have that so they are responding rightfully, but at the end of the day Somaliland will never go back with Somalia, all you have to is visit Somaliland and that would be clear as day, Alhamdulilah

May Allah bless and protect my country❤️

Thank you very Much. Long life My Home Somaliland❤

Clearly explained 👏

Fair and balanced narrative of Somaliland. The Genocide of 1988 a key turning point , we appreciate the fact you had to condense info into an 11min video. Somaliland is not a succession state because it is the country that gave birth to the union. SomaliA is the jr state. It’s a union that was dissolved in 1991 like SeneGambia or Egypt and Syria.

Somaliland worked very hard to be what they are today well done to our president Musi bixii...and our all last and coming leaders......you deserve to be recognized from all over the world 🎉🎉❤❤

Thanks for the information about the background of Somaliland

Although the whole world and even our somali bother and siater are working against us. We will make it 💪. Somalilander garaxajis and proud .

Isaaq genocide is unforgettable 💔 R.I.p to owr SNM heroes who scarified their lives to owr freedom

Somaliland is not internationally recognized because: 1) Somaliland is still a part of civil war, even Puntland from east occupying Somaliland's territory. 2) The country independence is not agreed upon the main currently 'non-existance' government of Somalia. 3) Somehow, western countries pick-and-choose which country they want to recognize despite say 'We defend the right of democracy and self-determination' a lot. 4) Red Sea access. Somaliland can just block the Red Sea trade if something wrong happens. 5) "One Somali Policy". All this country thought this actually exist, but no, it is not. So, most of the country saw the war thorn + poorest country (even Somaliland is richer than Somalia) is important. Imagine Isaaq tribe is massacred during the early 1980s and then they have been forced to united with former massacrist.

Thank you tooken for Somaliland Iam from Somaliland

TALK ABOUT THE OGAADEN COUNTRY IN ETHIOPIA

From Saudi Arabia Love to somaliland

I feel supportive for Somaliland

Will the MoU signed between Ethiopia and Somaliland to recognize it as a state materalize?

I think they should be reconized as their own country

I thank you very much for the good way you have presented my country Somaliland to the world community Thank you for telling the truth, Somaliland has yet to be recognized by the world for one day, no matter how it defeats its enemies. Somaliland Allow Dhawr

Thank you for telling them the truth ❤❤❤😊 Somaliland forever

There are two points to clarify regarding your statement on video about one clan enclave propaganda. Firstly, there was never a massacre; it's all fabricated by the SNM, which is essentially the same as the Isaaq clan, forming what is referred to as one clan's enclave in North Somalia. Secondly, not all tribes from North Somalia are affiliated with the SNM or Isaaq. For instance, Awdal State of Somalia, bordering Djibouti, consists of the Samroon and Issa tribes. Khaatumo State of Somalia, with its capital in Laascanood, is home to the Dhulbahante, Foqoshinr, and Midhaam tribes. It's worth noting that Laascanood was shelled by the SNM on February 6, 2023, resulting in 250,000 civilians displaced, 800 deaths, and 3,000 injuries. However, the people of Khaatumo managed to repel the SNM on August 25, 2023, capturing 300 militia members who are currently awaiting trial in Laascanood prison. Additionally, most weapons were seized by Khaatumo State of Somalia. Maakir State of Somalia, with its capital in Badhan, is predominantly inhabited by the Warsangari people, who are not affiliated with the SNM or aligned with its ideologies; they operate under the Somalia federal state. Furthermore, the SNM supports Al-Shabaab because they want Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, to stabilize financially. It's notable that all the leaders of Al-Shabaab come from the SNM or Isaaq clan. It's important to recognize that a tribe alone will never constitute a country. Please get your information correct.

AMAZING CONTENT!!!!! RECOGNITION FOR SOMALILANDERS, 6 MILLION PEOPLE IN SOMALILAND AND ALL THE DIASPORA SOMALILANDERS ARE WAITING FOR THE WORLD TO DO THE RIGHT THING SO WE CAN ALL GO HOME AND LIVE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE

Soooo somaliland is like rwanda but less economically strong ? Tbh idk why the hell countries wont recognize Somaliland , its not like somalia is that economically or militarily strong either

WONDERFUL information.

I grew up in Hargeisa Somaliland born when I left in 1990’s. The rebels of SNM claimed as country.

I LOVE YOUR VIDS!

Yes, Somaliland has retaken its independance self sufficent country. Our amzaing port of berbera is an important strategic hub for traffic coming to the red sea. We have also recently started our oil extraction with an estimated 200 million barrells of oil. Our democracy has seen mulitple elections spanning 5 presidents including parlimentary postions for the lower house. We look forward to opening fruitful discussions with the international market. and establish relations with more countries in the future.

History in the making, this clip has said it all. Somaliland had voluntarily united with Somali Italiana, illegally annexed by the south

This was a very well presented documentary. It is factual and accurate. Now the question is of reunification. If Somaliland voluntarily joined the rest of Somalia, they then withdrew from that union, can they be forced to rejoin Somalia. By the way Djibouti was French Somalia and opted not to join the Republic of Somalia as did their counterparts.

thank you for this video somaliland has been stable for 32 plus years recently oil was discovered in certain regions causing one clan to recently cause commotion

That map of Somaliland is no longer existing Since there are dhulbahante and warsangeli clans in that map they don't want or support the separation and hence dhulbahante took the road to a devastating war and the clan ultimately won against what was called Somaliland, consequently controlling their land and making a regional state of somalia 🇸🇴

Proud of Somaliland and Ethiopia ♥️♥️💪 yes it's real country...keep up my great people 😊

I never understand what's wrong in confirming a peaceful & development-focused country to allow it serve it's people & progress them? Why deny this country it's independence & yet we have lots of "independent" countries out there ) especially Africa & middle east) full of war, chaos etc, & are still "recognized" by UN etc. What do these Global institutions really want??? Any region that proves peaceful & progressive should be endorsed & approved for immediate autonomy. It seems lots of people in the world love chaos & human suffering...

Great video on a very great country, hope one day Somaliland will get its recognition back.

Mark my words, Somaliland will one day be internationally accepted as an independent country insha allah💚🤍❤️

I'm from Somaliland💚★❤

When southern Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti made up Abyssinia, it did not include northern Somalia. I used to wonder- if northern Somalia wasn't part of Abyssinia, what was it at the time?

I always thought it would be a seperatist movement with a military leader on top.

Thanks 🙏

Thank you for telling the truth God bless you we will get international recognition soon this month on 14/2/2024 and ethiopia has become the first country to recognise somaliland as an independent insha allah somaliland win win and peace and long live insha allah allaahumaa aamiin❤🎉❤🎉

I have to say many Somalis including myself are incredibly disappointed with the biased account of this issue. Let me clarify a few points: 1. Firstly you seem to be pushing the idea that due to the colonial powers rule over Somalia, that Somalia and Somaliland are two “different countries”. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Actually, the colonial powers of Italy and Britain both recognised the region as being one national identity (being Somali) and they agreed within themselves to a power sharing agreement to divide up the land. Besides, we Somalis do not accept colonial borders as our standard. There was no such thing as Somalia or Somaliland before the British or Italians came. There was only one ethnic Somali background with various tribes spread out. 2. Which brings me to my second point, you are pushing a false narrative that Somalia and Somaliland have different economies and cultures. This is not simply not true. Somalis are and have always historically been a very deeply tribal people. There are numerous clans and sub clans and sub sub clans that it’s hard to keep track. However besides the tribal difference, there is virtually no difference. All Somalis are Muslim and all Somalis whether I’m Somalia or Somaliland speak the Somali language. Economically Somalis near the ocean have always been sea merchants and fisherman while the ones inland have been pastoral herders. Down in the south of Somalia, there is an agricultural industry due to the fertile lands and rivers. So as you see, Somalis are one and the same. Only difference is tribal difference which is not homogeneous in any region. In Somaliland itself, the power is mainly concentrated among the Isaac clan who try and dominate all the other tribes in the region who don’t want to be a part of Somaliland and want to be one with their brothers and sisters in Somalia. In recent months, there has been heavy attacks and violence carried out by the Somaliland regime (mainly Isaac tribe) against the Dhulbahante tribe who refuse to be a part of Somaliland and consider themselves as part of the rest of Somalia. Similarly in Somalia, there is not one singular tribe but a wide range of different tribes all vying for power. 3. Thirdly: the Siad Barre issue: Siad Barre was a dictator in Somalia who ruled for a period of over 20 years in Somalia. Whilst he did initiallybring positive change to Somalia by running government campaigns to raise the literacy rates, reduce poverty and free educations, he did hover in the latter years on his reign, fall into despotism and nepotism. After the defeat at the hands of the soviet and Cuban aided Ethiopians, he increasingly started facing resistance in his rule as people realised he wasn’t as powerful as he once was. As a result, he started surrounding himself with people of his inner clan for saftety and started targeted attacks against prominent people of other tribes that could pose a threat to him. This terrror campaign wasn’t only aimed at the Isaac clan but any clan that wasn’t his clan that he saw as a threat. For example, the majerteen clan faced violent attacks from Barre where he poisoned their water sources, assasinated popukar majeerteen leaders and invaded Majeertten populated cities. In the end, his own despotism backfired and as a result, the Somali state collapsed in on itself. Hence the slaughter began without discrimination on tribe and people from every tribe from every region in whether Somalia or Somaliland died in the hundred if thousands. It is true that Siad Barre led a horrible campaign against the Isaac (who along with the majeerteen mentioned earlier) were the bigger tribes capable of challenging his rule. Every Somali condemns the attack of Hargeysa and the massacre which was carried out by this disctator. However Somaliand likes to blow the figures out of proportion to legitimise their current regime and their attempted secession. 4. Lastly, regarding the future, you are making it seem like only Somaliland is improved and progressing while the rest of Somalia is suffering. However if you look at the growth in Mogadishu and Somalia in recent years, you can see that the country is improving for the better as there are more foreign companies coming to Somalia as well as many Somali diaspora returning back home and helping rebuild the country. At the end of the day, Somalia is one nation and Somaliland is only a region of Somalia. As you said yourself, there are no nations in the entire world that have recognised or even acknowledged Somaliland. Also it’s important to note the terror and the violence that the Somaliland regime (which is really the Isaac clan) is carrying out against other clans who refuse to accept their dictatorship. If you just search what is happening in the city of Laascanod, you will see the chaos and horror the Somaliland regime has unleashed against the innocent people of northern Somalia all in the name of reviving a colonial state.

Long live Somalinimo and Somaliweyn ☝🏾💙🇸🇴
