Any suggestions for more unrecognized countries? Maybe in Europe, America or Asia?

*Unrecognized Countries in Africa* 1: Wakanda

Kaliningrad is an exclave of Russia but not an enclave as it is not fully surrounded by another country.

Great video. I just noticed 3 unrecognised countries that you missed: 1) Western Sahara 2) Somaliland 3) Biafra. I did learn a lot, especially about ones that I didn't know. E.g. I never knew that Cabinda had an independence movement. About the Bantustans, Tran-sky and Si-sky is how Transkei and Ciskei are pronounced. Bo-futa-tswana is how Bophutatswana is pronounced. Good luck with future videos.

I missed West Sahara, Biafra and Somaliland on your list. Anyway, interesting as always!

How could you miss Somaliland? It's arguably the most well known unrecognized country in Africa that still exists today, and is surprisingly doing quite ok on its own. Maybe do a separate video on it next time? It's definitely worth a look

You missed the following - Azawad ( North Mali in 2013 ) - Republic of Somaliland ( 1991 ) - Simba ( Congo 1960's ) - Kunama ( Eritrea ) - Casamance ( Senegal 1982 ) - South Sahara - Biafra ( Nigeria 1960's) -

5:27 *BLOOD OF THOSE WHO FOUGHT FOR THEIR FREEDOM!* but now with black...

Bir tawil is actually not unique in not being claimed by any country, similar things happen quite often in border disputes (for example the Serbia Croatia border)

Shoulda included Somaliland, Biafra, and Western Sahara.

Both Egypt and Sudan want the Hala'iiiiiiiiib Triangle so they don't claim Bir Tawil as theirs

Somaliland would be the only one that could become a fully recognized country

These are wonderful videos...the ones that explore little- or unknown-to-most entities trying to get recognized by the wider world. Like Catalonia with the leaving-Spain thing. Enjoyable as usual!

You should make a podcast

Where are Biafra, Somaliland, Azawad and Western Sahara?

Great video! Always learning with you!

2:05 There are parts of "Croatia" on the Danube border with Serbia that are technically not claimed. I think the largest is "called" Liberland?

WHERE IS BIAFRA, WESTERN SAHARA AND SOMALILAND?

6:00 The term is an Exclave. A sovereign territory outside the main/larger borders of a country.

I really enjoyed this video. I know about some unrecognised states in Europe but didn't know about hardly any of these.

As an American, I was lucky enough to visit South Africa in 1992. While I was there we took a six week trip up into the Transkei. As we cross the border, all my friends which were from South Africa did not need proof of identification or a visa. As an American I needed to buy a visa for the Transkei which cost me two rand. About 70 cents! I still have my old passport which has the Transkei stamp. Beautiful country! I will never forget it. Namaste!

Most of the countries you mentioned on this list are countries which no longer exist. In other words,they are territories which quest for independence failed completely. But there are more territories fighting for independence till today like Ambazonia, Biafra, Somaliland etc.

10:18 "Ambanozonian" flag looks exactly like the Greek one. 🇬🇷

Loved this video! 😀 Please do one for Europe.

Nice vid. A quick note though. In Spanish, the double ll is pronounced like a y. Melilla is pronounced Melliya (or Melija if you're a local. ) I lived there for a few months.

What about Biafra?

I would love to see more videos along this theme about different parts of the world.

Great video please do one for South America

Nice video! Now I can learn more about geography!

Surprised you didn't mention Western Sahara & Somaliland, though glad you didn't at the same time

You missed the most notable unrecognized countries; ones that can actually be considered independent (like Somaliland)

Great video General Knowledge from a Gambian

Please do some more of these! Also, where do you live /come from?

Cool idea make more of this!

Katanga is the most beautiful region in all of Africa, beautiful savannah and woodlands, richest most fertile soil in the entire world, cool breezy mornings and delicate warm afternoons

The movie "The Desert Song" from the twenties is about the Red Shadow who leads Rif raiders in a revolt (against the Red Shadow's father, by the way). His theme song is "The Rif Song," which is a staple of marching bands and is incredibly catchy with or without lyrics.

Please do Europe! If you won't include Liberland in the "future countries" videos, hopefully it makes the "unrecognized" segment since it fits in both. Great content!

I had a set of the two coins issued by Katanga. Issuing currency is often seen as a major part of a country's claim to independence.

General Knowledge, as always, a very good video. May I point out that leh-ZOH-toe (Lesotho) is actually leh-SUE-two), and Transkei, Bophuthatswana and Ciskei are TRAN-sky, boh-poo-tot-SWAN-uh and SIS-sky?

9:09 Quick reminder about the pronunciation here 1) Transkei (say trans-ky) 2) Bophuthatswana (say bo-poo-ta-tswa-na)

You got yourself a Fan from the Rif Republic, its still alive as is your channel 😛

You missed Biafra

Well there ya go - learnt something new. Cheers!

Where is those damn ones like *Biafra,* Somaliland* and *Western Sahara*

Can you make more of these videos please? One about the European secessionist states would be highly interesting.

Great video!

5:47 - there is a term for both Kabinda and Kalliningrad: exclave

I missed Somaliland and Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic. Great Video, though.

Bless your hands,this video is good dude but i expected you mentioning about Sahrawi

I'd love to see all the other continents. I'd also like a video on people who may have tried to establish or make Antarctica a legit country.

(Hint 3:50) Sierra Leone is some what just like Libya, the country of Sierra Leone is a rainforest and google maps recognizes 3 out of 4 provinces while the North West province is recognized in wikipedia, (Southern/Northern/Eastern and North West province while the capital province (Western province/territory) harbors Freetown, the capital so 3 out of 5 provinces. Libya has the provinces as depicted: Fezzan/Cyenaica & Tripolitania. So Sierra Leone is now the Desert country that used to be Libya by province count

About cirenaica you could have said that is currently under the control of general Aftar, making at least some part of it a de facto indipendent country

Could you talk in the future about Casamansa? It's in Africa too. Casamansa is in portuguese, Casamanse is in French and English (I think). This region had portuguese influence but it went for French hands when the share of Africa was done in XVIII

I know it's an older video, but I really enjoyed it.

Great video please one for Asia

The Southern Cameroon or Ambazonia situation has nothing to do with any disagreement with the constitution of the Republic of Cameroun. They are two different peoples and territories with two different dates of independence and no UNION TREATY between them. As per international law, they are two different states.

This Video is Not Complete... I did not see Biafra and Somaliland

28Years old somaliland ,joined somalia 1960. Declared indepence in 1991

Somaliland is not a secessionist as some people call. Somaliland gained it's independence 1960 from the UK before joining Somalia.

HOW CAN YOU NOT MENTION WESTERN SAHARA AND SOMALILAND

Border between Croatia & Serbia is full of unclaimed territories. Famous unrecognised countries: Transnistria (Приднестрове, Приднестровскя Молдавская Республика), Abkhazia (Абхазия, Апсны), South Osethia (Южная Осетия) and, for some extent, Catalonia, Baskland and Scotland.

4:37 Wow, I love that flag!

You forgot most of the some important, Somaliland, Western Sahara, Puntland and Biafra.

this is cool it explains where disputed areas are

Do the same topic for Oceania next please :)

5:47 *exclave. An enclave is surrounded by a country as a whole. An exclave is land away from the primary land due to a border with other countries in between.

Could anyone tell me how many times ONU has made a militar intervention upon other countries and how many could have intervented?

Amazing how there are two unrecognised countries in the shape of arrows.

Grear Video! Continue with the series

Ciskei has a pretty gnarly flag too

Cool video!

Hello nice job. I leave in Reunion island an overseas department of France in south of Indian Ocean. It will be nice a video about the 10 biggest countries who have much overseas territories? Y understand me!

0:10 Welcome back to GOAL KEEPER (GK)

2:03 Free Republic Of Liberland(Siga):Am i a joke to you?

Me: Heck there is a mosquito Her: Get to the Hospital quickly Me: Why? I will only get a small spot... Her: Cos this is Africa (Africa) starts playing

General Knowledge, I love this video, but there is a mix up about Ambazonia. Ambazonia in 1984 only witness a change of name and flag. The territory called Ambazonia got her independence on the 1 October 1961 with the name British Southern Cameroons with their own flag, in 2017 what we have is a restoration of independence from the French Cameroon who assimilated the territory after independence

You should do the top 10 newest countries

Great video, but where’s Somaliland!

How do you make your videos I wanna know

I first heard of some of these from Flags Mashup Bot on Twitter

My basement is unrecognized area of my house😂😂

Imagine Trump purchased that unused bit of land between Egypt and Syria

Sick video

Cassamance would be an interesting example of unrecognized countries

Kaliningrad is not a "Russian enclave in Europe", is a Russian EXclave... Cabinda is just an Angolian exclave. There are tons of exclave examples, it's just that most are extremely small and don't show up on maps. Spain has one in France (Llívia), Belgium and The Netherlands have tons of them in their frontier, etc. Exclaves can be enclaves, if they are completely sorrounded by ONE country, for example Llívia is both an exclave of Spain, and an enclave inside France. I can't believe you don't know that, given that you dedicate all your time to do these videos...

Do a video on self administred zones of Myanmar

could you make a what if video about china fell , russia breakdown into republics or about scotish independence after brexit ?

Somaliland?

Where is Somaliland,Biafra,Western Sahara and Kabylia ?

This video with out #Somaliland is like tea with out sugar Next time prepare another video you talk about only #SOMALILAND

Let’s go just put Hank and then added the tea out of nowhere

Great video thx. What is the deal with Western Sahara?

There is a video with all unrecognized countries from neutronex, not explanation but listing

Fun fact : Anjouan asked France to annex it after declaring independance since Mayotte, another island in the archipelago, is still French.

I believe, after Gheddafi's death and the consequent civil war, Libia is now de facto split in those same regions displayed in the video.

If the east part of Libya stayed independent, there would have been a lot less conflict

There are hundreds, if not thousands of unrecognized countries, independence movements, and separatist movements across Africa. Specifically Sub Saharan Africa, due to the artificial borders. They should redraw their borders and create many new countries to ease the tensions.

You don't know the history of southern Cameroon, they joined Cameroon in 1961, a federation structure and the federation was abolished in 1972.

YOU MISSED OUT BIAFRA BIAFRA BIAFRA BIAFRA BIAFRA BIAFRA

The part in bir tawil where you say its the only land not claimed by two nations is incorrect. In europe serbia and croatia have border disputes and a similar situations occurs with unclaimed land.
