Thank you brother, I know about the Algerian Struggles too and i wish peace for you too

Thanks for your kind words💕

Harks Singh 😊 I pray the same, keep the prayers coming, and for sure you will experience the beauty. For sure

Men created war boys in long trousers and a gun in hand . We are trying to make them stop but they are enjoying killing each other and women / children too . 😪

That was beautiful, brother. And very heartwarming. Thank you, and much love in turn. Insha’allah we will all be able to experience those warm beaches again.

You are welcome brother 🇸🇴

For ever love in somalia and all the world we are one family thanks ADDUU AHMED

I’m from Hargeisa and I support “Shanta Soomaaliyeed”

Yeah I’m Somali myself but most of the things are lost and all the younger generations don’t ask their parents about the culture

Ina Libaax LoL you shouldn’t speak! You don’t even have a country!

Tanière du loup puissance go and search what made Somalia great!

@@gambashaga why don't you tell??

@@jugulagu3397 "dont have a country" well you should be ashamed that Sland is acting more like a country than Somalia LMAO

wais_45 Sland is not a country!

Inshallah ❤️

Only in your dreams and fantacy

Somalia is corrupt. Somaliland is the future

**Somali not somalian

Somali music is great. Do you know and like an Artist?

I loved it very expressive

In somali we use a lot of onomatopoeia as adjectives, and we usually say the noise twice. Like taking a shot/drinking something really fast is "kac kasii" kac being just a noise imitating when you snap back and drink something fast. Somali is a pretty expressive language lol you can make up a bunch of noises and people will understand what you say, especially if you couple it with hand movements and gestures which somalis love

@@chaeyoungsbestie414 i guess it's "Qac kasii" with Q. Kac kasii has different meanings

Somali itself is a language of poets....!!

@@najibnoor2624 and they say we are Arabs i always laugh :)

It is not only few ppl, almost the whole nation who beleived those few idiot ppl. Somalia is destroyed by the Somali's.

Yet it’s happening until now and will continue to happen everywhere in Somalia unless people get educated and take back their future and country.

@Quraysh القريش The main problem in Somalia is the Hawiye tribe. Yes i know before the civil war we had a dictatorship government but it was strong and well respected everywhere in the world. Our kids were going to school and we had peace. Sometimes its better to have bad government than having no government. Then it was the Hawiye tribe that reduced the government to ashes. I don't hate anyone but I'm just saying the truth. Hawiye tribe are more violent and aggressive people.

Quraysh القريش@Arabs and Bantu'?smh,mental troll whom is full with BS get some help!☠

Thats why we are called the third world

catchmeifyoucan love brother 🇸🇴

You Eritrean people were the only people that really supported peace in Somalia 😭😭😭 then Ethiopia had to ruin it by attacking the ICU

TCGGg+HD

@Fark You indeed, but better than nothing, The ICU were not like a terrorist organization, They became one after, also the ICU is still leading the country

I understand that the actual situation is far too complex and simply wish you Somali live in peace together becomes a fragile statement after all the sufferings and useless destruction you had undergone But in such situation you have to be stronger than your negative feelings and think about others who win like Ghandi

@@sunshine-qq4eb A stupid regime did that. Many noble Somalis refused to go with the regime. Many picked guns to fight the regime. There is no excuse for what you are trying to do, which is break up Somalia.

sunshine 300 thousands Darold’s have been killed during the civil war everybody died we got over it u should get over it

@@sunshine-qq4eb Who is "they"? Care to explain?

@@sunshine-qq4eb so do isaaq killed people from muqdisho🤷🏾‍♀️

I absolutely love that album and make other people love it . And I am from Poland

MaliBoy ikr 😭

Me too 😂😂😂

Same here sxb😂 found it to be a bit easier

Bcz of da accent innit

i think it became a habit of mine due to watching so many animes/kdramas

@Yas Gasovna And I too love my African Brothers and sisters continent wide too. I just returned from The Arabian desert and the Red Sea a few weeks ago and the Egyptian Arabs and the Nubians all treat me like family every time I am there. In fact most approach me asking am I from Sudan, was I Tuareg, was I from Kenya or am I Nuba. This happens to me often. LOL I was once detained by immigration control flying back to Germany from Sinai as they did not believe that I was an American even with my passport and was questioned as to my familial lineage and the names and births of my family members for nearly an hour. LOL They tried to keep me.

Thanks my sister

It was never great.

Yarta Landerad ah every African nation was peaceful

Lucifer aka Allah is what has destroyed Somalia.

@@harmonyhd2469 keyboard warrior lmao

Lol no man no cry

Kenya and Ethiopia took Somali territories Somalia has neighbors who find terrorism and armed groups to keep Somalia failed

Yup.. we missed the hay days 🥲

@@osmankalif3500 we really did

Badria Ditch the medieval barbaric practices of Arabic Islam then Somalia will prosper with secularism...

ahmed essa no such thing as Arabic Islam. Islam knows no race. Less hateful speech please, that's the premise of this video.

ahmed essa No such thing again. False accusations, you can't use blanket statement and then avoid to address it. Islam empowers women. First it was race, now women's rights. Somali culture is inherently islamic. Perhaps it would help if you understood women's rights from an unbiased standpoint. And may I add, if you are disputing the word of God then you should bring forth something to the contrary. Don't attack races. Islam is the only faith that recognises all races as equal. Refer to the last sermon of the prophet, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

@@perphectcrymeproductions9699 stop acting stupid, we all know that the shahadah of one man is equal to two women we know that women are not suppose to inherit more than men we also know that women in Islam are considered to be lacking a brain and religion, you are not fooling anyone everyone knows what Islam is so cut the stupidity. Somalia was doing fine up until they adopted the Arab way of living and they Islamized a secular society, that was when things got fucked up...

ahmed essa Lol, I am not acting at all. I wish I had the talent! All of your arguments are simplistic and ill-informed. I challenged you to bring forth anything that can withstand the wisdom in the Qur'an. You couldn't. Let's agree on that first. Secondly, similar arguments could be made for men under islamic law and you would still consider that sexist, wouldn't you? I suggest you learn the faith well enough before passing judgements. You can't critique something that you don't know very well. That's why I said unbiased standpoint.

Zaynab gedi we have to walhi I feel sad seeing him carrying 😢😢😢

Walai me too... Bring back peace insha Allah

Zaynab gedi I wish I could help it pained to see such a beautiful soul cry because of the distance between him and his children

Good idea I'm ready to donate what I can Insha Allah

Could someone tell me why he can't just get back it's as easy as booking a flight back home

We all Waiting for u

That kinda of attitude is what changes the world. We are waiting for you. Hit up them books and get over here. With love From Somalia

@@abdik9002 I agree 100%, Somalia failed because of somalis

@@abdik9002 You are absolutely right, but it's SAD .

It is shame that we forgot our culture and language. We nowadays prefer to write in English instead of Somali. What an irony!

@@LexlutherVII what's funny

We don't have to wait recognition from those who're working hard on how to erase our face on earth, it's upto us to get up and stand for who we're. We're proud whether we're recognized or unrecognized 💪

This was when Somalia had a chance. Then came tribalism and arabs bringing salafism spread through 'charity schools' and look at it today.

Totally agree. Can we get more music?!!!

@Jaamac Waal Back then it was more moderate.

God damn right about that Hussein. This is what defeated people look like in case you wonder.

Why are these people feeling the need to comment some Arab and Islamic hate on every Somali documentary. Somali people always had tribes and they always will.

@@yasmin-qj8zm so true..walahi these people do not want to admit that truth..xaraaraan lahayn in unity, xoog baan lahayn in unity...pride baa hortaagan

stop trying to break up somalia. There is no such thing as Somaliland. Have you no shame.

Abshir Yes there is, just look on the video and you’ll see it I hate people like you who don’t want us to be recognized internationally. Inshallah we’ll get it soon and then you’ll see how well known is somaliland for their natural, music and of course the lovely culture. I had no such thing to break up somalia. Have a good day pal’.

I understand the want for separation by Somaliland but how will that benefit you? Somaliland, though much more peaceful than the rest of Somalia, still has serious issues like corruption and starvation. It’s not going to be fixed by seceding. Somalis more than anything need unity. Every Somali worldwide should work towards fixing all of Somalia so we can go back home.

@@muhku10 what's amusing is how somalilanders take pride in the name somaliland when the name somaliland was the colonial name for a region the British controlled. It was called British somaliland. The irony is Britian is one of the few countries who recognizes somaliland. Also Israel supports somaliland. Imagine a former colonial power supporting the fracture of a nation it once controlled. Divide and conquer as they say. Somalilanders are nothing more than tools for foreign influence in somalia. Get over yourself and read a book you ignorant bufoon. There is no such thing as somaliland culture only north somali culture. No country except your former colonial power will support you. Most of the world only supports somalia. You people disgust me. You take pride in somaliland prospering while you sit and watch your Muslim somali brothers and sisters starve on the other side of that country. But no worries somalia is already progressing. Somalia economy is growing and violence is decreasing. We were once a great country and we will return to that inshallah .

No I'm standing aside my country through the bad and the good the thick and the thin alxdulilah calaa kuli xaal SOMALIA HANOOLAATO HAJIRTO WADANKEYGA WAA JECLAHEY ILHEY HAXIFDIYO

😍🇸🇴❤🇵🇰

red sorry bro you're minority kkkkk

@Que_Rico Those people they are different ethnics with diferent language culture or religion but Somalis are one people one language and one culture, so dividing such a people is impossible unless they are conquered by external forces and divide them for their sake and interest in other words divide and rule or get your interest without any negotitation. United we stand divide we will fall.

@Que_Rico Don't be ignorant Somalia has big enough problems and I doubt it can be fixed with dividing the whole country. I would get it if you were talking about Congo or South Africa who have many languages ethnics groups and religions. But somalia is one of those few places with a homogeneous population with one language and one religion I makes no sense to divide it and it would only cause more trouble. Besides Djibouti is a different story because they were colonized by other powers who wanted them independent you can't compare the two

Link_ 82@what somalia needs is a great leader just like china!!😈

Que_Rico Thats the stupidest thing I’ve ever HEARD!

It is! amazing!

right? it’s so mad to learn more about my own culture nd country before my mum was born - it makes believe that my creative side came from an ancestor of mine

maybe after 30 years because our people are getting more extreme just like Afghanistan.

Forgive whooo

We can not forget about religion either

yes we can and we will@@TacticalRuse

Well you can have example for me and my age .

Jubaland, hirshabelle, Galmudug, Ogaden, Djibouti and Puntland are very happy without you and we Somalilanders are doing our own thing it's over let it go Soomali weyn waay damaate

Tize You can probably look up Somali funk on RU-vid and find some music from the era. Unfortunately, much of the music was either lost or is hard to recover because the musicians at the time had to hide all of their records once the war began for fear of the government or extremists destroying the music. It’s truly sad that this era and its music is forgotten...

Check this out: the golden era of Somali music: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IPmPBv7avws.html

I hope for that time to comeback😢
