This is the Mogadishu that I remember from my childhood. My father was the British Council representative in Mogadishu 1959-62. A lovely place, with good people.
wow, incredible footage. i can't believe this is the same city. how vibrant. the palm trees, the ocean, the beautiful architecture, the smiles on people's faces. the city had it all...and has lost so much. but, hopefully, it will be rebuilt, because it deserves to be a beautiful, vibrant city once again.
I born and grew up here in Mogadishu, yes we were one of the most peaceful countries in the world let alone Africa and on every side of life we were doing good, but the man who did all of these hard works paved the country into a prolonged civil war an endless mess and finally died in shame in Nigeria as a fugitive refugee and that was Siad Barre
Oh my God, i can't believe what i am seeing... everything was so beautiful back then, and now look at us, we are shattered over the whole world seeking shelter and asylum.. i wonder will i be alive to witness a same Somalia or better one than the one in this vid...
Honestly I wish this beautiful serenity wasn't destroyed. My heart cries out...it's true that things of the world never last forever despite of how fine they may look but our joy is derived from the fact that our hearts can rest on Christ whose above & beyond all material & immaterial possessions!!!
@Usher He was not a prophet. He is the Son of God and the Messiah and He was sent for everyone. That is why He told His disciples, "Go and make disciples of all nations". Maybe you are the one who needs to wake up.
Man I freaking love this video / song.......I made it my daughters birthday song about 10 years ago........happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday.
You've so right!!!! One country, one people, one language and most important ONE RELIGION!! Act as Muslims if you can't act as country men! It still can't cross my mind how some one can kill his own brother.. Ilaahey nabad iyo nuur Soomaalia ha siiyo.. Aamiin.
Heesta aad baan ula dhacay miraha iyo murtida iyo dhawaaqa ay xambaarsantahay . Soomaaliya Welcome Back and Wake Up , Be Glorious as the Ancient Days ! Your brother from Djibouti . We wait for you ! Stop the tribalism and be Powerful !
beautiful people with beautiful city destroyed by reermiiyi we have to take the reermiye out of the city if Mogdisho wants to be the Mogdisho it uses to be otherwise that will be an unrealistic dream
@CreativeFreedoms Somalia has been Muslim for centuries; even in medieval times there were reknown Somali astronomers, mathematicians, physicians, philosophers, theologians and optometrists; the country was a center of learning. Mogadishu in the 60s and 70s was a fine and peaceful city. Students from all of Africa attended the University of Mogadishu, and said, we'll finish our studies, go home and develop our countries, like beautiful Mogadishu. Tyranny and civil war ruined Somalia, not Islam.
😪The GOOD OLD DAYS before the MOORYAAN USC took over the Capital city and destroyed it. QABYAALADA sunta ah iyo DIKTAATORNIMADA xaaranta ah waa Labada BELAAYO ee SOOMALI halaaga baday. Sidaas iyo si ka fiican haddii dawlad dad caafimaad qaba oo daacadii madax u yihiin la helo waa lagu arki soomali insha-Allaah
Exploitation is the mother of all destructions. People cry for equality under the rule of law. Somalis are very sensitive to this and prefer to die for it rather than living under the domination of others illegally. They will plan and re-plan fighting for freedom and equality no matter what it takes. They would welcome and really longed for an honest leader, but in reality corrupted leaders resurface chosen for us by the neighboring countries including nowadays by the gulf states in addition to Ethiopia and Kenya to prolong the status of failed state with the aim of finally annexing once for all with the aim of sharing the vast god given wealth. O Allah save us from the traitors and chose for us a selfless strong and honest leader and similar competent government staff who lead us as role models to success and beyond
when was this video made. if it was in the 1960s den walahi i could say mogadishu was the city of the world. the organisation, the buildings, the peace, the love, the unity and last the proud to be from there. but i dought that would come back even though i always pray
14/6/2108 Ax ax ax ilahayaw dalkayga nabad ka dhigi hadii aanu moodayno in burburka laga soo hadhayn cidba may dagaalanteen From Hargeisa Nin Isaaq Ax ax walahi bilahi tolahi
walahi i feel sad when i see this. man what is wrong with hawiyas they dont want us to rebuild our country. every government we try to make it work they came up with something againist. they dont want to be president and they dont want other to be president. man i wish this people would belong to other countries. darood and isaq are peace loving people and they know what law and order means...
ow my days what happenned to us how did we end up like dis seriously people usually develop how did we end up going backwards dem 1960's people were more whatchu call it reer magal n what not then we're in the 21st century waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag1
The Isaaq (also Isaq, Ishaak) (Somali language: Reer Sheik Isaxaaq); is one of the main Somali clans. The Isaaq mainly live in Somaliland and the Somali Region of Ethiopia. The populations of the four major cities of Somaliland; Hargeisa, Burco, Berbera, and Ceerigaabo -- are predominantly Isaaq
In the 1960s we just got our independence and we have democratic system in place with leaders coming to power through elections then at the end of the first peaceful decade dictator siyad barre seizes power and dismantles everything. Then nepotism is introduced with almost all top positions going to members of his own clan ignoring almost all other clans. Siyad enjoys military aid from the Soviets with full immunity from persecution, takes the country to war then he feels so big that he wants to bite the only hand that's feeding him which is the Soviet in this case. Now things get messy for our people with our defeat by the Ethiopians with the help of our old allies the Soviets. People show their political dissatisfaction with the dictator then the dictator feels paranoid and he introduces torture or kill policy in which he embarks on a journey to wipe out a whole clan in the north. In the early 1980s begins the genocide against the Isaqs in the north and the torture which leads to a explosive build up of grievances towards not only the dictator but also against his own clan leading to the massacre of Marehans and later on darods in Mogadishu by the native hawiyas. By this time in 1990s our country is not only at war but also our society is divided along clan lines massacring each other with no ending sight to the conflict. Different factions with their own militias with so-called Somali generals as their leaders now roam streets of Mogadishu and all major cities country leading to inner conflicts among clans. Situation gets worst with each subclan fighting against the other leading to a clannish society of today with no trust among themselves and a corrupt infamous political system 4.5 is born. Our history is interesting though mostly sad is one we had created together that wouldn't change as long as we are in denial of our past.
its lost... maybe its a symbol like our complete destructed citys after WW2. Its quiet now and mad people have no chance to overturn the society. sry for you, was a really beautifull city
@DivertNileRiver Ante ahiya, your country without US aid is dead and will return like the 80's. Remember Ethiopia is the most western addict country of Africa.
The Mogadishu captured in this video i think was developed largely by European colonialist but later destroyed by Somalis. Some African countries including Somalia probably would have been better off under a prolonged Italian or British. Unfortunately most of them were given independence to rule themselves before formatio of stable modern nations.
Me when I’m stupid: Mogadishu in ancient times was a prosperous metropolitan city that was known all over the world. It was the hub of trade in east Africa. They traded with the Europeans, Chinese, Persians, Arabs, Indians, etc.
@zelem92 As allah doesn't exist that could be rather tricky. However, how about getting started on peace using human intervention? There are definitely plenty of humans wondering around the streets. I'm trying to come at it from a practical point of view.
please stop talking about qabiil we all somali and we have one country please stope talking about "qabiil" we are (somali) we have only one coutry(somalia) one language(somali) one religion(islam) and one capital city(mogadishu).
I guess Truth Hurts, I should appologize When I said darod I did not mean The Whole Darod Clan, Just Minority Majeteen, Was behind It , and let their Kids being Raped by Ethiopian Enemy. Well No one can Deny Hawiye is the majority and native of Somalia, Hawiye Never claim they are From Oman, Or Zanzibar, Or Egypt, Or Mecca, Hawiye is Somali,True Africans that Lived in Horn of Africa for Centuries. Regardless of What you say I do not hate nobody Except those who are traitors like A.Yusuf.
Nooloow waliga ? She's dead and buried since 20 years ur dear xamar fusuuq, wake up bro !!! Blame ur mom for dancing the niiko at that time and ur father for killing in the masjid !!! Allah doesnt forget that !!!! Djibouti nooloow for ever !!!
They had the help from the Soviet Union, this is what peaceful foreign intervention looks like. You don't need to enslave / kill off the native population
This is the Mogadishu that I remember from my childhood. My father was the British Council representative in Mogadishu 1959-62. A lovely place, with good people.
It's a proper sh*thole today.

THE SOMALI PEOPLE ARE BEAUTIFUL AND MAJESTIC. SOMALIA WAS ONCE THE JEWEL OF AFRICA, THE JEWEL WILL RETURN.

wow, incredible footage. i can't believe this is the same city. how vibrant. the palm trees, the ocean, the beautiful architecture, the smiles on people's faces. the city had it all...and has lost so much. but, hopefully, it will be rebuilt, because it deserves to be a beautiful, vibrant city once again.
Let's pray for an peaceful United and Strong Somalia with Mogadiscio as capital. We are fedup of Ethiopians in Horn of Africa.
We are fed up Eritrean refugees much!
I born and grew up here in Mogadishu, yes we were one of the most peaceful countries in the world let alone Africa and on every side of life we were doing good, but the man who did all of these hard works paved the country into a prolonged civil war an endless mess and finally died in shame in Nigeria as a fugitive refugee and that was Siad Barre

Catherine Anne,
Thanks for your comment, but we don't need to preach to us on Jesus. Thanks again.
@Usher He was not a prophet. He is the Son of God and the Messiah and He was sent for everyone. That is why He told His disciples, "Go and make disciples of all nations". Maybe you are the one who needs to wake up.
Youll never appreciate something until its lost. Golden somali Era. Brothers you lost a beautiful jewel.you have to search it back.
Imagine I have never been to somalia bt when I see such I feel home and memories of my mother's stories come

Islam is not the poisson. Islam was always there from start to finish. Tribalism was the poisson, that and ignorance.
Very very true, Islam is not the problem but the qabil is

I agree. Islam can be practiced progressively, but terrorism using islam as well as civil war and tyranny ruined the country.

The problem with us somalis is clanism, the first question you get asked when u meet a fellow somali is 'ya tahay? or which clan are u?
