Socotra - The treasure island between Yemen and Somalia | DW Documentary

- The tiny, picturesque island is not typical of the area. It is part of Yemen, but far away from the civil war.
Even many people well acquainted with the region haven’t been to Socotra. Instead, they speak with shining eyes of an island that they long to see one day. Socotra lies off the Horn of Africa. In 2008, the main island and the rest of the archipelago were recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site because of its biodiversity. The hills are dotted with dragon’s blood trees, a species native only here. The place enjoys a strange sense of peace and quiet, 400 kilometers off the south coast of the Yemeni mainland. The civil war is far away and tourism is the main source of income.
Most of the travelers who come to Socotra come here from the United Arab Emirates for the water sports - and many snap up land here. They can afford to buy unlike the islanders. Locals are worried because they fear they are losing control of their home. Others are happy about the economic development that has come about thanks to investment from the Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

" We don't have internet so the kids play sports or stay together ". I remember those beautiful days
We had internet and my kids always played outside! Me with them! I miss those days too 😪
It's occupied by the UAE
I’m good how about I
My kids will not be staying on social media 24/7, constant technology is an addiction with the dopamine it gives you, they'll be going outside to play with 1 hour of games everyday.

As a Filipino who can only dream to travel the world, the documentaries by DW are profound and wonderfully expands my horizon. I used to read National Geographic magazines in our school library donated by the State of Texas. Now, DW had taken that place. God bless you always for enlightening us with your documentaries.
Thanks for watching and for your positve feedback. We invite you to continue discovering the world around you through our lens!
I'm a Filipino and I feel the same way, and especially during this pandemic time I could just be happy viewing documentaries from various sources...thanks DW 👍
Look in your own seas and you will find plenty of beautiful islands. DW documentaries always contain a political message.
Best advice form me or frankly any sensible being is for you to explore this world in your "own lens" otherwise your perception will fall at the mercy of the narrator. Take the word "Lens" with a bit of consideration.
@@user-uc1xp2kn6d very well said!
I'm from Uzbekistan and now I'm learning English language to communicate with other foreign people while this event DW documentary help me improve my English skills, in Uzbekistan it's very hard to learn English language becouse it is not prevalent we are used to to speak in our native uzbek language and also Russian language, however this thanks to the DW documentary I could really enhance my English language. Thanks to you for creating amazing documentary slides.
We're glad our documentaries are helpful. :)
Your native language is turkish uzbek is part of turkish there is no uzbek nation or language it is only imperialist divide and rule trap
Well done your English is very good 👍
Your English is very good. Nice work.
There is no point in learning Russian….nobody in the world wants to speak Russian…it a dying language
Despite the circumstances my country is going through, it is still beautiful. Thank you, DW, for this documentary
Where are you from
always beautiful our Yemen.. I wish it's back more peaceful and stable.. Politics and close mind militaries look to Yemen land as Gold mining field, they really don't care about new generation welfare, the nature conservation and the ecosystem protection goals.

Thank You! 🙏
How is life in Iraq
We have a proverb in Farsi that says:
"The wolf's greeting isn't without intention".
can't agree more... that proverb can also be used on Western aid, Chinese aid and let's not forget Iranian aid to Lebanon, Syria and other parts of the world.
And wasn't it Marilyn Monroe who said 'A gentleman is simply a patient wolf.'? It works for both men and women, so I guess 'A lady is simply a patient she-wolf.'
@@crazixz ahahaha he thinks he’s slick with it! Iranians aren’t saints and they ain’t even Arab so why care what happens on Socotra islands!
Correct for greedy people around the world
i like that..you so right the emiratis arent helping those folks out of goodwill
that conservationist guy, his family, and others like him in the community need all the support they can get by anyone who cares about Socotra and its independence from any foreign state, the community also needs awareness about the foreign investment and its long term consequences. after their natural resources and may be the little income from the tourists will help them manage their basic life. thanks to DW for their informational report on the island. Big LOVE from NEXT DOOR SOMALIA.
totally agree - I was about to write a simular message .
Suqadara is a part of Somalia not Yemen. 1970ties most of its population were Somalis Since when Suqadara become Yemen ??? I was Not expecting that Every Hyena eat its Body and Bones.
this land was part of somalia and was gaven away by the british to the yemins soon will be back its rightfull owners

Very nice, perfect and a professional documentary ! Loved !
I’ve seen a documentary on socotra 10 years back, a very much deserted place and no population. As this shows here, it has transformed into a habitable town.
Let’s hope tourists don’t destroy this but the nature and the time take their tolls
❤
Great documentary! Very thankful & glad for DW on enlightening the people with Socotra's beauty & the current situations taking place... hopefully one day when things get better in Yemen you can do one too! Because Yemen is truly beautiful!
Thanks for watching.
Happy Christmas
Fantastic upload, such a beautiful place with contrast from the sea to the mountains.
Happy Christmas
Thank 🙏🏻 you very much DW.
obviously DW's creative head is a Gem,for creating such a wonderful content.
What a wonderful documentary! I just wanted to write and thank DW Team for all your hard work and effort in bringing this story to life. Socotra is remote and often forgotten by the international community.
Not many people know that there is 1 hidden pyramid in Socotra, similar to the Giza pyramids. Heard plenty of stories about it, yet still no has proven the story to be true.
Soqatra is Yemeni governorate, and It is not forgotten, but Yemen government has keept it away from dirty hands of international community.
And will remain so if Emirates spoil it our government will destroy Dubai with missiles. One for one.
@@Anonymous-ow5iz it’s actually African territory stolen from Somalia Yemen literally has Somalia international waters
@wut Soqatra or any Island called after people who live in, not after international water borders..!
Soqatra is Yemeni Island based on all traditional and international well-known laws.
Any country claims owning Soqatra, let them rise their claims to international court to judge it. Easy, isn't?

Love ur balanced coverage
I love DW documentaries so much. All the train rides and the island ones and the cross-south-america bus trip. These are my favorite documentaries lately! I would love to see some more docs on faraway and secluded tropical and other islands. The one where the boat captain lady was going back to the island to retire was also awesome! I would love to see one on Pitcairn Island - I've seen a few docs about it, but would love to see DW's take on it. It would also be cool to see one about the history of the hawaiian islands, sumatra, bali, the senekaku, acension, the falklands, etc.! Thanks DW!
Thanks a lot for watching and for sharing your thoughts on this topic. We’re glad you liked the documentary!
Oh no that place not pitcairn island....it has a dark evil past of rampant child sexual abuse
Beautiful. Thank you
Beautiful island wonderful documentary thk DWD.

Check your spelling bro
Never heard of this place before. It is beautiful.
Which “attention” will actually ruin the nature, and the charm of the island...
Without hypocrisy or flattery, Socotra, the most beautiful island in the world, just lacks some attention

I hope so too,but it can't be avoided .Arabs from the Emirates are wealthy beyond imagination .Money is all that matters to them .
Thanks for watching and for sharing your thoughts on this topic. We’re glad you liked the documentary.
Əmrah Cəfərov
For years since 1967 after the British left Aden, Socotra went down hill due to lack of investment from the South Yemeni government. Then, the unification of the two Yemens (North and South) came about in 1990 and unfortunately the decline of Socotra Island continued downwards.
That's what happens when the people of the Island realise their own government don't seem to care, so naturally they will be inclined to support foreign countries like Saudi and UAE who come to the Island uninvited and shower the poor locals with money. Perfectly normal human response.
What a crying Shame.
It doesn’t belong to Yemen or UAE…it belongs to the Somali people.
Shut up not your buisness

The landscapes in socotra with camels actually it's looks like the main land and you are welcome anytime in Yemen
You have to wonder what the UAE and the Saudis will expect in return for their 'generosity'.
Colonisation :(
We have a proverb in Farsi that says. "The wolf's greeting isn't without intention".
In return they will want THE ENTIRE ISLAND and *GENTRIFY* the locals......
UAE is involved in every conflict and in every country's affairs. UAE has got so much money and small population and they don't have inter problem to focus. So what they do they spend their money and make another people's land like a playground to keep themselves busy. That is what they doing in Socotra.

@@AlexanderMason1 Thank you Alexander. The island of Socotra is part of Yemen and so Yemen for many decades ensured not to modernize the island and only add basic necessities so as to prevent damage to the flora and fauna of the island. Unfortunately, with the war, the UAE is currently illegally occupying the island and wishes to turn it into an extension of the artificial Dubai. In Yemen, we are very sad that our island is being illegally occupied by these bedouins with oil money.
@@deen-g it seems they can get away with anything because of their oil money and no one says a thing. What a shame…

@@fguledh there were no Europeans in Hawaii also but they claimed it since it was next to them. We have similar historical artefacts, similar rare trees and species, found the same cave paintings. What's your point? Socotra is clearly within our borders and belongs to the people of Somalia.
Yemeni and Somali are more similar than a Hawaiian and a European.
@@MohamedHassan-ni6un Now are you applying somalia to conquer ? because thats how hawaii, infact america came by!!.
@@fguledh judging by your name, I assume you're Vietnamese or Cambodian so no my sister we would not invade, plunder or mame anyone. No one wants to copy what America is doing .... they are clearly not the best example but why no one is rejecting their claim to Hawaii?
But you can clearly understand our plight as a free and sovereign nation. If we go by international law, Socotra belongs to Somalia. It is too close to belong to another and Yemen is 400 miles away ... SMH
But if we must, we'll resort to self defence by invading the Island.
