Hello, Mr. Beat!!!
omg mr. beat swore for the second time on youtube!!!! lol
As a Somaliland national, I say thank you sir for showing Somaliland to the world.
I'm happy to - I really enjoy making these videos.
Ictirafka inuu hayo cmll Ayad udhaqmesan dhaabuuroyalow? Somalia is one country either you?🇸🇴📸👆🇸🇴🌎👀🎥🇸🇴🌎👆
Somaliland is not a country!
@@Sal-lb1sf Somaliland kama mid aha somalia 1991 waxay dib uga noqotay midawgii 1960 gii dhacay waxaanay soo ceshatay xoriyadeedii uu ingriisku siiyey 1960.
Dalkaaga iimaanso adeer 30 sano ayaan dawlad ahee.
Isku calan, lacag iyo maamulna ma nihin iimaanso dalkaaga Somaliland socotee 😂😂
Brilliant comparison, I love it.
Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
Haha! Not the most obvious comparison. But it works well. Fascinating point about the three political parties
Glad you liked it! Yes, the Somaliland system with political parties is really interesting and has worked reasonably well. There is a problem now, I understand, when new parties have won the right to take the old parties' places. But the model has been successful enough that it was used by Puntland last year.
MR ROCKWELL,
What a fantastic video, that was really a university education, well researched brilliantly articulated well delivered fantastically executed.
All the Somalilanders in the diaspora all over the World appreciated all the time and effort you have invested in this brilliant video about our beloved Country ❤ THE REPUBLIC OF SOMALILAND.
As you might aware The Republic of Somaliland has so many enemies on all its borders and literally no Country want Somaliland to exist.
The Republic of Somaliland only exist because we United for the love ❤ of our country, the resilient our our great people no matter whatever our enemies through us
Thank you so much!
God bless you we appreciate you brother
Thank you!
Long live Somaliland the land of
peace 💚
Thank you fredo you are always amazing 🌹🙏
Thank you!
My country somaliland ✅❤️
🙂
The Upper House of the Somaliland Parliament/Congress seems more like the British House of Lords.
And yeah, Mr Beat sent me.
Very well observed! I make the same point in my first video about Somaliland politics, actually. And like the House of Lords, it is mostly a revising chamber today.
Alright
Many Thanks both of you that you are
Tolkien about Somalland.
God bless you Brothers.
Thank you!
Fredo Rockwell is back with amazing comparison.I've never witnessed such awesome comparison as this one.I liked, shared and subscribed the channel.
Thank you so much!
Somaliland really is inspiring, I hope recognition comes as soon as possible. I think a lot of people here in Ireland would support Somaliland much more if the situation was more widely publicised.
I agree. It's a story that needs to be told more widely. Tell you're friends!!
Thank you for supporting Somaliland.
Indeed! Not only does Somaliland support its independence (as evident with the 2001 referendum), but from what I've read, it functions in a very country-like matter! Theoretically, if I am understanding things correctly, all Somalia needs to do is let go!
Very interesting comparison. Thank you Fredo.
Thank you!
Somaliland Republic is growing rapidly and Insha allah will become one of the strongest country in the world
Let's hope the rapid growth continues!
*Somalia
New Country will emerge from Somalia, this is the country that could be have a higher chance to be the strongest.
Thank you Mr. Best ! My son has been and still a good follower of your educational videos since he was 5 years old , now 12.
I am Somalilander and we appreciate people like you tell others about us . We exist as nation and we deserve to be recognized .
I'll send that comment to Mr Beat!
As a somali I kinda take somaliland a little personally, but love the fact that they’re able to do what our government hasn’t been able to do (I hope to go to Haregisa on day).
Oh and Barre’s genocide was tribal rather than ethnic, somaliland is mostly Issaq tribe, while barre is Darood
Thanks so much for your comment! I can understand how are a Somalian it's possible to feel conflicted about Somaliland. Let's hope Somalia has one person vote elections soon!
@@FredoRockwell as a spmalilander we think about that
recognizing The #Isaaq genocide means a lot to all of US THANK YOU 🙏
Your comment is very practical
I am very proud to say that I was born in Somaliland and a citizen of the United States of America. Very informative video and simply the truth, thanks for sharing. In Somaliland the political parties are open up every ten years, though limited to three political parties at the end, it allows new parties to come out and that process is actually happening right now.
You have twice the reason to be proud! I'm aware of the discussions about changing the political parties. If this happens successfully (and fairly), it will be a real testimony to Somaliland's unique system!
@@FredoRockwell Somaliland is doing well but we have those presidents that is when it is their time to hold elections cling on to power and do extensions. The latest example is our president who doesn't want to hold elections on the due date.
Absolutely we’re appreciated and thanking to you for all your time and efforts to show the hidden untold truth & facts about Somaliland that most of the world are unfortunately still ignoring to hear. In addition, we can’t wait to watch ur upcoming video about the comparison between Somaliland & Taiwan.
Once again thanks sir in advance 🫵🏽🥰👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What an absolute legend thank you bro🤞🇺🇸💚🤍❤️
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed this! It's such an interesting comparison between some of the most different countries. I will say, the video felt a little flat without some music, though. Love the video, keep up the good work!
Thank you! And thanks for the suggestion re music. I don't know why, but whether I try to add a background track to my videos I don't like it. But I think I need to bite the bullet and give it a go. 🙂
I am an American, and I found this video to be quite interesting! I've learned quite a bit more about Somaliland: its history, its economy, its politics, and even its patriotism! If anyone were to ask me which unrecognized country is the most like a recognized country, I would probably say Somaliland. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and learned from it.
@@FredoRockwellYour girlfriend/boyfriend is somaliland ?😂😂😂

Sweet video. Imitation really is the highest form of flattery ;)
Then I definitely have to copy you video style next, Lucas!
Tell that to the plagiarism board.
Thank you Fredo....You are so spot on👍👍👍I hope Somaliland & USA increase their co-operation since we genuinely have so much in common.
I'd like that!
What video!!👏👏. Deserve a lot this video and channel

As a Somalilander, we thank you for showing the Somaliland to the 🌎
I'm very happy to!
www great. Thanks for your time to give this amazing an important video.
Thanks so much!
Thank you brother
No problem!
Great man
Thank you!
Somaliland is very impressive. I like how they adapted the political system to the local circumstances and culture. I wish Somaliland the best and i hope that my own country (Germany) will recognize Somaliland although i think we're waiting for an okay from the African Union and Somalia so i don't expect it to happen anytime soon unfortunately :/
I agree - it's very impressive. And I'm glad you noticed the adaptation to local circumstances. So many countries in Africa had political systems imposed on them by colonial powers, and I think it's great to see a successful, truly African system emerge. Everyone appears to be waiting on the AU and Somalia to agree to recognition, yes, but I don't think it's going to come any time soon....
Thanks a lot 🙏 💓
My pleasure!
Excellent pièce of comparison
Thank you!
Underrated channel
Underrated comment!
great video
Thank you!
BRAVO- Well done, yes, indeed Somaliland has a lot in Common with US politically and Social attitude. I compare people from Buroa city to NewYorkers- Jokes and friendly smile. when Hargeisa has LA- California attitude lifestyle and same wheather.
Thank you so much! And thank you for the introduction to Somaliland life! 😀
Thanke you sir ❤❤❤
Thank you for the comparison
It's my pleasure!
Great video
Thank you!
This is Amazing.
Thank you!
Proud to be Somaliander

Thank you very much we love your video for somaliland and United state of America
Thank you!
@@FredoRockwell thank you so much the future history of somaliland will make highly appreciate any body who supported somaliland like Rockwell and many others who made great support for somaliland thank you
This is very interesting
Thank you!
As a Somalilander my parents have experienced the Somali and Somaliland Revolt And I’m surprised that it is delevoping quickly
Somaliland is not a perfect place - I don't think anyone thinks that - but I've been impressed by how committed everyone I speak to is to having strong civil institutions and a democratic government. If those can be put in place, there's no limit to how far Somaliland can go!
Well done
Good job
You discovered best events that was happened in Somaliland
I tried my best! Thank you!
Somaliland Up and Viva forever.
Thank you So much Our Friend Fredo Rockwell.
Thank you!
@@FredoRockwell
Mr Rockwell
The ignorant people who asked you if the Republic of Somaliland paid you, are the product of the very people who are committed the GENOCIDE in the Republic of Somaliland. They are the No 1 enemy of the people of Somaliland Republic, these are the very people who reduced all the cities of the Somaliland Republic into a ruble, they are they close relatives of the infamous THE BUTCHER OF HARGEISA.
Thus ignore then completely they don't worth reply.
11:22 "It never quite gets there", as a somalilander that one hit me hard
This is based on conversations I've had with SL officials. There was some money meant to go to SL years ago but was only released after the Hargeisa fire. 😟
@@FredoRockwell ik
Very impressive video
Thank you!
I like the way they cooperated, I mean mr. beat and Fredo
It was certainly an honour to get to work with Mr Beat!
This was a pretty great vid
You're underrated af
Also despite Somaliland might not be recognised by any nation but it will forever be recognised by us ✊️😔
So glad your liked it!
The Republic of somaliland is here to stay and shine hater can’t change the fact that the whole world knows what is happening thanks to the internet
Thanks for watching!
5:43 I'm interested to hear your reasoning here. My understanding (admittedly just what my high school teachers said) has always been that the United States of America were conspicuously and intentionally modeled after the Roman Republic. The Roman Republic seems to have been a true republic by just about any reasonable metric. While the Republic was a total sham toward the end, it didn't start that way, and even improved steadily with more rights being granted to the poor over time before eventually declining again in what we call the Late Republican era. That said, as I wrote this I can't help but remember Women's Suffrage which I don't think existed in the Roman Republic and only forget about because of how uninterested most Roman Historians were in it so they don't talk about it.
EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION: I loved this video in every way. I only ask this question specifically because I want to hear more. I'm not intending it as an argumentative point, so apologies if my wording came off that way.
So glad you liked the video. Since Rome created the Republic I guess it was arguably first. The Roman Republic wasn't really a democratic republic as we tend to think of today though. There wasn't a king, but it was more rule by powerful families than a democracy. Ancient Athens it's arguably a better example of democracy, although it too was far from perfect. I guess when I wrote that line I was referring to modern times (as in 1600 onwards). I should have considered my wording more carefully!!
it might seem like a goofy comparison on the surface but its good to showcase how while geography and political structures are different, we are all humans and have more in common as simply people than the institutions that govern us
That's it exactly - very well put!
@@FredoRockwell and your conclusion really reflected that. Nice job
As a Somalilander, I honestly strongly agree with the fact that both The US and Somaliland are very patriotic. Like seriously very, very patriotic! Like god damn, I would die for this nation without a second thought and I would fight u if you try to say any negative thing about it.
Thanks you For your support somaliland .
From Republic of somaliland.
My pleasure!
Great video fredo. Be weary of any
people claiming to be from Somaliland but against its self governance and path to recognition. Mostly trolls from the other side.
I do get people occasionally contracting me to tell me things about Somaliland, and claim no one supports it in one region, etc. When I ask them if they live in SL, though, they usually say no!
Somaliland is not part of Somalia
Agreed!
Fredo Rockwell
being a somalilander i thank you sir so much. a brilliant factual video ,cant wait for the next one. new flower
Thank you! I'm glad you like them!
I liked the bit where you said "that's a lot of cows"
Thanks! 😂 When I wrote the script I was thinking of a different intonation, but that's how it came out!
Thank you so much for you support Somaliland. Thank you again and again.
It's my pleasure! I hope peace can return to the regions where there is fighting soon!
Yes that is true thanks ❤❤❤❤❤
Nice and well represented videos
Thank you!
nice
Thank you for talking about Somaliland
My pleasure!
The UCID party from Somaliland may be my favorite political party in the world, not because it is the most similar to the policies I support, but because they apparently got influenced by the Finnish Social Democratic Party.
They took the position that good ideas know no borders and that they can take many ideas from a party from a completely different country and apply it somewhere else in the world. That is objectively a good thing as they don't try to lie to people that ideas from other countries are bad or contra to the values of Somaliland.
Thanks ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤sir
I think it's high time for Somalia to recognize the independence of Somaliland and find a way to coexist. May be as a "two countries, one nation" thing.
I wonder why nobody talks about Puntland.
I suspect Somalia will be one of the very last countries to recognize Somaliland - but we will see. Re Puntland, I find it very interesting and have attempted to write a script about Puntland's politics. I may try again soon.
Even though we are happy with the progress of our Somaliland brothers. No Somali leader has the courage to allow independence of Somaliland.
As Ethiopia will not allow the independence of Tigre or Oromo region.
Somaliland lasted 31 yrs of progress and prosperity
Let's hope for 301 more!
Very good .it really good fedeo.you give more explanation about somaliland
Thank you!
My country somalialand♥️
I'm here because of Mrbeat!
Welcome!
Somalilander share this video and scribble the channel ♥️🦋 I really appreciate

Fredo Rockwell 🙏you're the definition of honesty of bein truthful though it hurts those hypocrites and haters that's what u call honesty honor , integrity , which means uprighness of character and action , becoz honesty implies a refusal to lie or deceive in any way , thank you so much , false perished truth prevails 🙏🙏
That's very kind of you to say. Don't worry about the trolls, they don't bother me. 💪
@@FredoRockwell and if they bother you know what to do " never respond to them " coz silence the killer of all trolls , anyway i want to express my appreciation for all you' e done for Somaliland 👈 and all Somaliland-ers have gratitude to you 🙏🙏
The only Home grown pro American democracy in Africa. Thank you dude
It's my pleasure;
