Unrecognized Countries in Africa 

Any suggestions for more unrecognized countries? Maybe in Europe, America or Asia?

Kaliningrad is an exclave of Russia but not an enclave as it is not fully surrounded by another country.

*Unrecognized Countries in Africa* 1: Wakanda

Great video. I just noticed 3 unrecognised countries that you missed: 1) Western Sahara 2) Somaliland 3) Biafra. I did learn a lot, especially about ones that I didn't know. E.g. I never knew that Cabinda had an independence movement. About the Bantustans, Tran-sky and Si-sky is how Transkei and Ciskei are pronounced. Bo-futa-tswana is how Bophutatswana is pronounced. Good luck with future videos.

I missed West Sahara, Biafra and Somaliland on your list. Anyway, interesting as always!

How could you miss Somaliland? It's arguably the most well known unrecognized country in Africa that still exists today, and is surprisingly doing quite ok on its own. Maybe do a separate video on it next time? It's definitely worth a look

You missed the following - Azawad ( North Mali in 2013 ) - Republic of Somaliland ( 1991 ) - Simba ( Congo 1960's ) - Kunama ( Eritrea ) - Casamance ( Senegal 1982 ) - South Sahara - Biafra ( Nigeria 1960's) -

Bir tawil is actually not unique in not being claimed by any country, similar things happen quite often in border disputes (for example the Serbia Croatia border)

5:27 *BLOOD OF THOSE WHO FOUGHT FOR THEIR FREEDOM!* but now with black...

These are wonderful videos...the ones that explore little- or unknown-to-most entities trying to get recognized by the wider world. Like Catalonia with the leaving-Spain thing. Enjoyable as usual!

Both Egypt and Sudan want the Hala'iiiiiiiiib Triangle so they don't claim Bir Tawil as theirs

Shoulda included Somaliland, Biafra, and Western Sahara.

Somaliland would be the only one that could become a fully recognized country

WHERE IS BIAFRA, WESTERN SAHARA AND SOMALILAND?

Great video! Always learning with you!

Nice video! Now I can learn more about geography!

You should make a podcast

2:05 There are parts of "Croatia" on the Danube border with Serbia that are technically not claimed. I think the largest is "called" Liberland?

I really enjoyed this video. I know about some unrecognised states in Europe but didn't know about hardly any of these.

As an American, I was lucky enough to visit South Africa in 1992. While I was there we took a six week trip up into the Transkei. As we cross the border, all my friends which were from South Africa did not need proof of identification or a visa. As an American I needed to buy a visa for the Transkei which cost me two rand. About 70 cents! I still have my old passport which has the Transkei stamp. Beautiful country! I will never forget it. Namaste!

6:00 The term is an Exclave. A sovereign territory outside the main/larger borders of a country.

Where are Biafra, Somaliland, Azawad and Western Sahara?

Loved this video! 😀 Please do one for Europe.

Most of the countries you mentioned on this list are countries which no longer exist. In other words,they are territories which quest for independence failed completely. But there are more territories fighting for independence till today like Ambazonia, Biafra, Somaliland etc.

Great video please do one for South America

10:18 "Ambanozonian" flag looks exactly like the Greek one. 🇬🇷

I would love to see more videos along this theme about different parts of the world.

Great video!

Nice vid. A quick note though. In Spanish, the double ll is pronounced like a y. Melilla is pronounced Melliya (or Melija if you're a local. ) I lived there for a few months.

What about Biafra?

Cool idea make more of this!

Surprised you didn't mention Western Sahara & Somaliland, though glad you didn't at the same time

You missed the most notable unrecognized countries; ones that can actually be considered independent (like Somaliland)

Great video General Knowledge from a Gambian

Well there ya go - learnt something new. Cheers!

Where is those damn ones like *Biafra,* Somaliland* and *Western Sahara*

You missed Biafra

You got yourself a Fan from the Rif Republic, its still alive as is your channel 😛

Please do some more of these! Also, where do you live /come from?

This Video is Not Complete... I did not see Biafra and Somaliland

Great video please one for Asia

5:47 - there is a term for both Kabinda and Kalliningrad: exclave

The movie "The Desert Song" from the twenties is about the Red Shadow who leads Rif raiders in a revolt (against the Red Shadow's father, by the way). His theme song is "The Rif Song," which is a staple of marching bands and is incredibly catchy with or without lyrics.

Katanga is the most beautiful region in all of Africa, beautiful savannah and woodlands, richest most fertile soil in the entire world, cool breezy mornings and delicate warm afternoons

this video without Somaliland is like a G20 without the US.

I know it's an older video, but I really enjoyed it.

General Knowledge, as always, a very good video. May I point out that leh-ZOH-toe (Lesotho) is actually leh-SUE-two), and Transkei, Bophuthatswana and Ciskei are TRAN-sky, boh-poo-tot-SWAN-uh and SIS-sky?

I missed Somaliland and Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic. Great Video, though.

HOW CAN YOU NOT MENTION WESTERN SAHARA AND SOMALILAND

Please do Europe! If you won't include Liberland in the "future countries" videos, hopefully it makes the "unrecognized" segment since it fits in both. Great content!

Can you make more of these videos please? One about the European secessionist states would be highly interesting.

About cirenaica you could have said that is currently under the control of general Aftar, making at least some part of it a de facto indipendent country

28Years old somaliland ,joined somalia 1960. Declared indepence in 1991

I had a set of the two coins issued by Katanga. Issuing currency is often seen as a major part of a country's claim to independence.

(Hint 3:50) Sierra Leone is some what just like Libya, the country of Sierra Leone is a rainforest and google maps recognizes 3 out of 4 provinces while the North West province is recognized in wikipedia, (Southern/Northern/Eastern and North West province while the capital province (Western province/territory) harbors Freetown, the capital so 3 out of 5 provinces. Libya has the provinces as depicted: Fezzan/Cyenaica & Tripolitania. So Sierra Leone is now the Desert country that used to be Libya by province count

You forgot most of the some important, Somaliland, Western Sahara, Puntland and Biafra.

Somaliland?

Cool video!

Could anyone tell me how many times ONU has made a militar intervention upon other countries and how many could have intervented?

0:10 Welcome back to GOAL KEEPER (GK)

Great video, but where’s Somaliland!

Do the same topic for Oceania next please :)

this is cool it explains where disputed areas are

Not to brag or something, but... I was here before 10k😎

YOU MISSED OUT BIAFRA BIAFRA BIAFRA BIAFRA BIAFRA BIAFRA

9:09 Quick reminder about the pronunciation here 1) Transkei (say trans-ky) 2) Bophuthatswana (say bo-poo-ta-tswa-na)

Bless your hands,this video is good dude but i expected you mentioning about Sahrawi

Ambazonia, it’s like they tried to copy Amazonia

This video with out #Somaliland is like tea with out sugar Next time prepare another video you talk about only #SOMALILAND

4:37 Wow, I love that flag!

Sick video

Imagine Trump purchased that unused bit of land between Egypt and Syria

Kaliningrad is not a "Russian enclave in Europe", is a Russian EXclave... Cabinda is just an Angolian exclave. There are tons of exclave examples, it's just that most are extremely small and don't show up on maps. Spain has one in France (Llívia), Belgium and The Netherlands have tons of them in their frontier, etc. Exclaves can be enclaves, if they are completely sorrounded by ONE country, for example Llívia is both an exclave of Spain, and an enclave inside France. I can't believe you don't know that, given that you dedicate all your time to do these videos...

I'd love to see all the other continents. I'd also like a video on people who may have tried to establish or make Antarctica a legit country.

Grear Video! Continue with the series

Where is Somaliland,Biafra,Western Sahara and Kabylia ?

Somaliland: Am I a joke to you.

5:47 *exclave. An enclave is surrounded by a country as a whole. An exclave is land away from the primary land due to a border with other countries in between.

How do you make your videos I wanna know

Nice job but you miss biafra in Nigeria

Republic of Biafra is a recognised country - by at least five other countries.

You should do the top 10 newest countries

Could you talk in the future about Casamansa? It's in Africa too. Casamansa is in portuguese, Casamanse is in French and English (I think). This region had portuguese influence but it went for French hands when the share of Africa was done in XVIII

1. You forgot about Somaliland. 2. The Amazon is burning!!!

2:25 "The only unclaimed land in the world" Marie Byrd Land: "Am I a joke to you?"

Dropping by to greet. Hello guys! ❤❤❤

Do a video on self administred zones of Myanmar

Why is like every sponsor on RU-vid squarespace? Smh...

2030s new countries in Asia : Kachin, Chin, Arakan Please make a video about it

Song in the beginning of the video????

Nice video but you forgot Azawad, Biafra, Somaliland and South Sahara.

The CAR's flag is truly beautiful

Hello nice job. I leave in Reunion island an overseas department of France in south of Indian Ocean. It will be nice a video about the 10 biggest countries who have much overseas territories? Y understand me!

Great video thx. What is the deal with Western Sahara?

You literally missed Somaliland which is the only un-recognized country that has a functioning government, own currency, their own government

Somaliland is like the most famous of them all

I first heard of some of these from Flags Mashup Bot on Twitter

The Southern Cameroon or Ambazonia situation has nothing to do with any disagreement with the constitution of the Republic of Cameroun. They are two different peoples and territories with two different dates of independence and no UNION TREATY between them. As per international law, they are two different states.

Include Somaliland so ur knowledge will be wider as its.
