Is Somaliland an Independent Nation?

- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2019
- It is my understanding that Somaliland receives around five hundred tourists a year. We were three. But within a single day, street assaults over tattoos meant we were two. Then one.
Naturally, it was an extremely difficult place to film. I did my best with what I could.
That said, I had a unique and life-affirming visit and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Wonderful people helped me get this footage without asking for a single thing in return, and showed me kindness that one usually reserves for family. We met hundreds of educated, friendly, progressive humans, many of whom are international leaders their field. Everywhere is a spectrum, and in Somaliland we saw it all. Their work and their desire for freedom deserves recognition well beyond what it has received. A massive thanks to everyone who welcomed us and helped me film without disruption. You quite literally made this season possible.
As this is the first real video I've filmed entirely by myself, and among Kata's first edits, we're both pretty nervous. It's a sensitive topic. But she did a triathlon this morning and did her best ever, so I feel that's a good omen. As she always reads this stuff religiously, I'm gonna sneak a note to her in here: Congrats Kata! You're the fastest person of all the people.
Thanks for watching, all. Somaliland was a wild week for us. Hope you like what it produced.

I know I am not a Patreon supporter, however, have you ever considered doing a tour of Eastern Europe and maybe do a video on the Yugoslav war, visiting places like Vukovar?
@@woodman2855 I just left Bosnia and did a 6 part series on Yugoslavia, actually. Didn't go to vukovar, though, as we had our camera stolen in Sarajevo and lost a bunch of time.
Hey, sorry to ask you to do stuff, but are you planning any series in Canada? I loved your last ones, I'm sure you could milk our country for a few more. Maybe even a video/series on the legalization of cannabis in Canada? Idk lol, Africa is always cool too, go where ever.
EDIT: Oh yea, take one of the french ferry's up to Labrador and the islands in that huge bay, no one knows about them.
@@RareEarthSeries God damn, that is such a shame. As someone from Vukovar I would have loved to have you come and visit as a big fan of your content and hear you talk about it, because I think Vukovar is a very interesting place that really deserves to have its story told.

You got threats online without saying a single word besides the name of the destination....wow that is messed up. I've heard about Somaliland, fascinating place
No these are usually fake, empty threats from neighbouring country Federal Somalia and their trolls online they use the same tactics all the time, they like to pressure and intimidate any non-somalis that advocates for Somaliland's re- independence.
It happens too when you say Tibet, East-Turkestan, or any other disputed place.
Cuba naaso dheer, we haven't forgotten 1977.
I see you everywhere damn it
@@ccc-uk2nu I'm not sure what you are thinking- "Cuban-American" implies an anti-Castro "Cuban exile", someone against the Naaso Dheer also. The one English article I found on the subject, by Faisal Roble, also confuses me. Who are you speaking for?
Somaliland is like Taiwan. Two countries who are not internationally recognized yet but have developed their countries with peace, and democracy. And we have lots of people who don’t want us to be a country but one day we’ll be part of the United nations
Fascinating video! In my view, Somaliland easily has the greatest claim to UN membership of any unrecognised state in the world. (And I’ve also received a lot of hate messages for saying this in one of my videos!)
White man we are already dealing with your mess in africa so please we don't want further problems
Ignore the jealous people.. Keep going on!
These threats are coming from the somali diaspora in the united states and canada primarily. Keyboard warriors i wouldn't take them seriously. Somalis living in southern somalia don't really care that much if somaliland recieves it's international recognition, they have more important issues to deal with. It is those somali diaspora in north america who are spreading lies and propaganda to destabilize the republic of somaliland even today as i write this message. With the new partnership between somaliland and the u.s, Genel uk crude oil drilling and the berbera port the republic of somalia are hating on somaliland progress
Professor James can you do a video about the new u.s somaliland partnership and what it means for both countries and the region in general. I believe there is a power struggle in the horn of africa between the 2 super powers the u.s and china. The republic of somaliland chose the west. The horn of africa has always been a strategic location throughout the history.
I am from Somaliland and my biggest dream is to see my mother country independent one day. Thank you rare earth for sharing our story.
Count on me.If I am elected the president my first assignment is to recognize and establishe embassy in hergesa.
You miss the point somaliland is independent more than somalia which depands on the world for it's survival. Although not recognize somaliland is more independent than a lot of recognize african states

Currently in Somaliland, I was born and bred in London and come here on holiday most summer. It’s a safe place where I’ve seen many tourists not just people from somaliland. Somaliland will become an independent country soon, In Sha Allah

Although it may not be globally recognized, Somaliland is an independent nation. Somaliland Independence Day is May 18th! It is has its own government, military, currency, etc. Long live Somaliland! 💚⚪️❤️
Can you tell me how will that happen ?
What makes u think u'll get independence.
Google Earth Recognizes Somaliland .
Google maps doesn’t appear to.
Truly fascinating place been there
I don't know Google Earth but in Google Maps, you see different depends on where are you connecting from. Search title "Google Maps is Different in Other Countries" by "Human Interests" in RUclips and see yourself. Also there are some laws and agreements between countries and Google itself; for example, couple years ago I could see cars in front of my house, I could even recognize whose car it is. I could clearly see roofs and terraces of buildings; but then something happened and now, I can't even see the housing estate I'm living in; it's all blurred and only shows you lines and street names, that's all. But if I use VPN and change my country, it's visible again. So Google is blocking and blurring Country X's satellite images only for Citizens of Country X; but it's all open to the rest of world. Never trust Google.
@@LEFT4BASS It does because the satelite images change almost every week, maybe to monitor development in the region. Just saying.
Not as a nation but as a region. Somaliland has been a region for many decades, and as a region *under* a state or several states it has been recognised in some forms, just not as an independant nation itself.
Something comparable, albeit with a much longer history of its use, would be how google earth shows Kurdistan as a region despite overlapping 4 nations. They arent recognising an independent Kurdish state because one does not exist, they are just showing the regional borders because they are relevant historically and geographically.
I have been looking forward to this video ever since I learned that Somaliland was one of your destinations.

Greetings from Hong Kong - thanks for your intellectually rigorous and awesome video.
Evan, you're one of the very few people who constantly enlighten me with straightforward, uncompromising and untainted insight... I'm so glad that you chose to make the Rare Earth series... In these dark times we need more people with common sense, moral compass and a willingness to speak up in a coherent, logical way about topics that matter, even if they're not particularly popular, trendy or entertaining. Keep on it, and good luck.
One of your best, Rare Earth! Packs an emotional punch!
I know about Somaliland coz this is this is there my best friend is from ❤❤

This the greatest and most truthful episode about somaliland, thank you and hope you had a great stay in homeland Somaliland #Somailandtotheworld 💚⚪️❤️
Canadian here, I threw out my globe after seeing this. Your best video yet.
Why not just draw the Somaliland borders on your globe?
Not a lot of globe makers doing it, so why not just fix what they messed up?
@@dr.zoidberg8666 at that point youd have a lot of drawing to do because theres hundreds of legitimate and (legally) illegitimate autonomous regions and nations around the world, few of which are recognised. Syria alone is debatably under 5 seperate controls, 1 of which is the state of Syria and the other is an autonomous region with direct democracy.
Then theres Iraq, which has the Kurdistan Regional Government, not a seperate nation but a heavily autonomous region. India has several areas that consider themselves independant. Hong Kong is labelled different on many up to date maps. Libya. Greece has some communities fully under anarchist control, and a lot of sympathy for anarchists in certain areas. Turkey itself doesnt control the mountains, neither does Iran. Israel and Palestine are marked incorrectly on most maps because most maps mark Palestine as the disputed borders rather than Israel, which is a bias in favour of Israel that is not backed up by international law or the UN, who use neutral maps that mark Palestinian territory seperate from Israeli occupied areas. Saudi Arabia is on the edge of balkanizing if they destabilise. Denmark and Canada both claim an island off Greenland. Technically speaking Canada and America should both be marked as occupiers and native tribes and nations should be marked as the legitimate holders of the land. Basically no political map is ever correct because theyre showing one political perspective. So i guess theyre simultaneously all correct and all wrong.
And? Do you want a cookie?
Thank you for making this video, I've been watching your channel for a while and with this video I'm loving the channel even more. Much love, an expat from Sweden.
So much of that opener resonated with me about the situation Taiwan is in as well, and has been in for the last 70 years. It would be great to see you make your way there one day and do a feature on their international plight as well.
Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the Philippines would be great to see.

Powerful stuff. I was born in the GDR and if Germany can overcome the consequences of its history while superpowers actually caring about it, then I hope it is also possible for the forgotten Somali people, whichever state they live in, to find the freedom to make their own choices and live in peace.
Somaliland and somalia could never reconcile, somalia is terror hot bed. They prefer corruption and lawlessness over governess.

Thank you for making this video about Somaliland we reclaimed our independence we lost during the failed union with south Somalia in the 1960. Recognition will come eventually
Wonderful! The best video I’ve seen about Somaliland so far. The last part was beautiful.
When I saw the title hitting the play icon was the next thing I have done, coz I am always very enthusiastic about to hear what a third party says from my limbo country(somaliland), absolutely I enjoyed this master piece especially the way you have narrated both sides of the story.
You reminded us that it is ok “ not to be perfect” in order to be statehood.
Iam glad you have mentioned the inadequacies somaliland is dealing with, and answering those questions will help us to add this country to the map.
Thank you sir!
This was a great way to remind us all. That the greatest experiment is still struggling to become the more-perfect union we all deserve. Love your work!
Wow powerful video. Ethiopia stand with Somaliland and know soon enough we will recognise the fact that you're independent.
Took a lot of wading through youtube sh*t but rare earth is a gem worth looking for, hope more people find you guys because production value of these videos is awesome.
Thanks for all your hard work Kata and Evan!
I am from Somaliland and I appreciate the work you have done, but we believe in our motherland and we believe we are free regardless of the small difference and yes yet we have a long journey to cover that's a fact and again we have come up from ashes that's a long way, FACT. and we await for true patriots to act upon nationalism and justice for all.

This series of videos on African nations is really educational, there is a lot of details that get missed in general news posts or even videos that skim over the topics you cover. I'm studying human security and this series has been an amazing source of context for a lot of things we are learning. I recommend your videos to whoever I can when we talk about relevant topics. Keep up the good work!
Videos like this are why I love your channel. You have a way of communicating thoughts and conveying opinions.. It's clinical in a way, but well presented. Subscribed, I'll make sure to watch everything you release.
Thank you for covering the story. I am Somalilander and I as well as many Somalilanders do understand what is at stake? Because of the volatility of the region as a whole Somaliland tries to keep peace through dialogue. Somaliland would have been even more perfect had it had recognition. Its a hurdle that hampers its ability to help provide its people what they need to support a better economic opportunities and hope for better life. Also, the need to defend would have decreased and thus ability to be less concerned to threats to its people and their aspirations.

Because they not only want to be independent, but they already are, for almost three decades. It already is divided up, they just need recognition.
Benjamin Gallagher You wouldn’t want someone to come into your country and try to divide it. No I don’t think you would like that so please don’t try that with my country especially when you don’t really know all the details. Somalia and its people are one ☝🏾

Dennis Megacock Prager i hope you are mocking Dennis, because he loves the British empire and thinks it’s was the third greatest thing to happen to the world after Israel and the US, and I can’t imagine an Irishman being cool with that.
Nah Awi some times it’s better to part ways. Look at the state of Somalia right now, your country was artificially created by western powers, and it’s caused a lot of issues quite obviously, it’s made a country with a highly divided population that’s easy for us to continue to exploit (which I am against that exploitation but I am just one man who is very knowledgeable about my country’s actions) if Somalia had formed together under more natural circumstances (not necessarily ethnic lines or anything) then this issue wouldn’t exist, but because the west forced a bunch of people to live together who don’t want to live together, you get what we see today.

Thank you sir for this great video about my country Somaliland, I subscribed your channel and I will be following you starting from today.
I'm Dhulbahante from Sool region and i support Somaliland and consider it my country. Somalia is hopeless and since we have joined Somaliland we have seen development and peace that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. But the people of Sool want fair political representation, at the moment we have few government positions, this needs working on.
Wish you the best then. African Americans, being a minority in the US, endured similarly, but persisted and finally have representation in DC, though it hardly matters these days with so much greed and gridlock in Washington. I barely think race (in the US matters anymore) and yes I am colored.

You have said we have (as dhulbahante ) we have representative in Hergaysa Administration. what Your real representative In Central Government In Like Height Court chair man, Upper house speaker, 61 0f 275 of somali parliaments whether the 82 of somaliland parliaments 78o of them is from your clan isaq also the 24 ministers 19 is also from your clan as well as political parties and courts and armies in somaliland are all from is isaq.
that's why You miss leading these ignorance from An other where. to show that you searching An independence for a country with multi tribe shared a power and agreed politics That's wrong.
At the last I would like to tell you and everyone from isaq to live real life .
Such a lie. The Dhulbahante are staunch Somali nationalists. They are only waiting for the federal government to gain strength.
Brother, you are absolutely right
@@ccc-uk2nu We willingly joined Somaliland in 2007 after years of being under the Puntland (Somalia) administration, they taxed us and we got nothing in return. Puntland was basically extorting us like a criminal syndicate, at least in Somaliland we are seeing money flow back into the region and development projects being initiated. Not all Dhulbahantes are behind Somaliland but the people of Las Anod and it's surroundings would rather remain in SL, i can't speak for the Buhodle Dhulbahantes.
*Yes Somaliland is a Significant Independent Country* Thanks for the work
Geez man! Who writes those last lines of yours! Another wonderful and eye-opening video. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
Wow, this is one of your most incredible videos yet, Evan.
My Nat Geo wall map has Somaliland on it. So, a little recognition. Very little. Thanks for your work and perspective.
Oh that's nice thanks didn't know that am about buy one ASAP
smooth 247 Baligubadle Vote with your dollar the map makers will listen if you but what you like
@@robrod7120 you are so right
I have a map which locates SOMALILAND. It was printed 1956.
@@abdis70 wow that is a good bro
You’re a legend! ...and your dad... also a legend :-)
By far, one of the best of the series. I'm struggling to stop tears dripping on the keyboard as I type.
I love the quality of your videos. Great Audio, Great Pictures.
The hurtful truth!!, there are a lot of things that need to be fixed , but Somaliland will rise up again, and it will gain recognition ✊🏽, Mahadsanid Evan ✌🏽
In school, they did teach me about the existance of Somaliland, but they told me that it was a autonomous part of Somalia and that it was a misconception that it was a independent country.
It isn't a country, the people charged, brainwashed the people in the north thinking that they are different. At the end of the day, they are Somalia doesn't matter if they get a country or not they are Somalis
Germany and Austria are ethnically the same and yet no one questions the sovereignty of Austria. If the people of somaliland wants to be independent they have the right of self determination
@@malikanuur4298 I guess Australia is just England then since we are the same ethnic group lol
@@justinbeath5169 thank you very much you are on point tel him alsow the Arabs how many countries do they have UAE Qatar saudi arabia Kuwait Oman ect
Thank you! Somaliland is an independent nation of 4 million people but lacks international recognition! Still waiting that day!
This why I love Rare Earth. They cover uncommon areas in such incredible depth and respect for real diversity, while enriching context in a way no sugar coated mainstream report ever would.
Been scrolling through the comments and love to see everyone feels the same. You are one of my few real inspirations. You approach things in such a subjective, intelligent, and interesting manor. Something I have been wanting to ask is, who are your inspirations? Do they have youtube channels I can watch, books I can read, books about them? I want to see what kind of things bring you inspiration or push you to do better. What kind of things influenced you to become such a respectable person.
It's actually insane how we are acknowledging territories by gut feeling. The definition of a state is crystal clear: the land belongs to the entity who can enforce their laws in a given region.
Is taiwan part of china? - >Who takes taxes from that land?
Is somaliland part of Somalia? -> Can somalia enforce their laws in said territory?
well Somalia can't enforce any law in Somaliland but they try by writing complains to UN, African union, and Arab union, and they fail LAMO. Also, NO one in the southern government including so called president can come to any somaliland territory leave alone collecting taxes.
amoon omer 😂😂😂
@@mayasmayas1689
LAMO are you serious? Somaliland president was in tukaraq itself so buhudle isn't even a conern. Also you can't compare president Muse who his guard is from Somaliland and can control everywhere to xaarmajo who is guarded by AMISOM in 2 km
Just subscribed recently and I love your videos. Keep it up!🇺🇲🇸🇴
Fantastic documentary. Your videos provide a clear perspective in a world of chaos.
This my first vedio of this channel and I love love it especially at the ending how you talk about our real issues we have a long way to go
Even Malcolm X mentioned somaliland on his speech 1960🙏🏾✊🏾💯❤️
I'm from somaliland and i never heard it. I love him i read his stories about his strangle but i never heard that speech.🙁😓😔😢
@@husenyusuf1063 you can search RUclips bro even me i watched
Beautiful episode and very educational. I’m a citizen of S/land and I give this a thumbs up 👍
Somaliland has come a long way to regain its independence and many have died for that cause. We will never allow any small minority to try and jeopardize the rights of the majority. For those so called “small clans” who may want unification with Somalia they should cross the border and live in Somalia!
Goodnesss, what you just said is so true. I hope that it will make a sense to those who will see your video. Well done.
