Gracias! 🙏

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Love how in every country, the response to "is it safe?" Is "Have you had any problems?" Well not with that much security. Definitely would go with mobile payments over cash. Mountain side looks incredible from above. Great job!

[@AleSalvino]

Couldn't agree more! 🤪

[@Owlet.The.Explorer]

Exploring the streets of Somalia was an eye-opening experience! It's not what I expected, but it's incredibly fascinating.

[@icc.concepts]

Welcome to Somaliland. Salaam from hargeisa

[@AleSalvino]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@RVH-io3dr]

Thanks for showing us these places. We in the west just take a broad view that these troubled places have no humanity left but you show us the reality that people are no different than anyone else, they just want to live in peace and have a good life.

[@AleSalvino]

Is it? 🤔

[@Handle0108]

As someone from both regions, I can assure you that it is. Ofcourse many secessionists in the north would disagree so I wouldn't suggest doing that while you're there. Good luck@@AleSalvino

[@ahmeddaahiye2188]

We can't deny the development of Somaliland but I argue that talking with the right people who can tell you right issue that somaliland breakaway

[@AleSalvino]

Yes indeed, in the previous episode in Mogadishu all people said it's one country and obviously in Hargeisa I expected a different argument. I think it's still interesting to bring this up so the international community can understand some aspects.

[@AA-em6kt]

Somaliland is apart of Somalia

[@AleSalvino]

Indeed. An autonomous region in northern Somalia, which broke away and declared independence from Somalia in 1991. So it's interesting to bring this up in the video to understand the perspectives from people in Mogadishu (like in the first episode) and people in places like Hargeisa like in this new video.

Is the territory of Northern Ireland brittish or Irish land?

Firstly thanks for coming to Somaliland. Somaliland was a former British protectorate, we have got our independent in 26 June 1960, at that time Somaliland was recognised more than 35 countries including The US,UK,France,Egypt, USSR, China, Ghana, Ethiopia, And many more. Five days latter Somaliland and UN trusteeship Somalia tried to unite, legally that union was un ratified, 1 year after that unratified union Somaliland armay officers attempted a military coupe but that had failed. After more than 20 years Somaliland being under Somalia's occupation, Somaliland entered 10 years of independence wars in which hundred thousands of Somalilanders lost their lives, millions have been displaced, and in 1991 Somaliland regained it's lost independence and after 32 years Somaliland was built from group up, now Somaliland control it's territory, it is peaceful, It has its own democratically elected government, it's passport, Visas, It's own currency, military, police and every thing a state should have, we are only lacking Re recognition and our seat in united nations and international organisations.

Somaliland received its independence in 1960, and we chose to erase our borders and create one unified Somalia. Djibouti was smart enough to keep their independence, and the rest are either part of Ethiopia or kenya. We are now creating our boarders again. Somalia is unfortunately delusional and don't get the message. Thanks for capturing Somaliland, much appreciated 💚🤍❤️.
