Well, b/c they are not showing the ugly side? Why do you think there is no crime? B/c they would cut your arms off publicly & drive you around the town. And apparently history of Somala starts in 1884. Romans were there & probably Ottomans & Arabs. They weren't nice/friendly guys And the tribal wars.... Slavery was officially ended in 1930th: "The Italian colonial administration abolished slavery in Somalia at the turn of the 20th century. However, some Somali clans notably the Biimal clan opposed this idea. The Bimaals fought Italians to keep their slaves. Although the Italians freed some Bantus, some Bantu groups, remained enslaved well until the 1930s, and continued to be despised and discriminated against by large parts of Somali society."

Thomas' opening comment hit home so hard. At 21, I went on my first solo trip which ended in a traffic accident where I am permanently disabled in movement and luckily to even be alive but I took that exactly as a challenge from the universe. I didn't back down and over the last 10 years I traveled to 117 countries solo so Thomas pls continue inspiring for all of us 🙏
