    Hi guys! I am Somali and I looooove your videos and hope to see you travel to any country in the motherland! As a Somali woman I would like to start out by saying thank you featuring Somalia. Secondly the video we are all watching is the absolute worst! It’s filled with lies and misinformation of all sorts. We are one nation and yes we have our complicated system and we don’t pay whatever that lady is saying after the birth 😠😂 I have so many other things I want to contradict, but I don’t wanna make this long. I thank you for your genuineness and the love that you show to our motherland as a whole and I can’t wait to watch you guys travel there. Please consider doing another video on Somalia because this is part disrespectful, part misrepresents our culture and do not represent our history and customs well enough to make a video. These white peoples are trying to colonize us over CZcams now too😂😂😂

      Lulu, I don't know how old you are or which part of Somalia you came from, but yes, there's a thing to pay money after birth. Yibir comes when (usually male) hears the family give birth and asksformoney. It existed in South Somalia. I don't know if they still practice that as I'm not there now, and the world changed.

    Hi, there is a lot of truse history missing.1 The first independent somali nation from the British is somaliland 26 June 1960 then the Italian somaliland South 1july 1960 and franch somaliland which is Djibouti 27july 1977.so in a video said independent 1 of July 1960 wrong it' was the North British somaliland 26 June 1960 which known as somaliland than they United with the South 1 July 1960 after 30 years disagreement with South somalia Republic they disaid to poolout of a unity.and declared there sovrent back on 18 May 1991 this why they have 2 different independent day. We somali same nations with different governments.

      @faduma96 Před 5 měsíci

      I dont get it just before 1960 all somalilands that the star 🇸🇴 stands for were
      * the British colonised somaliland 1884-1920 (north),
      * Italy colonised somaliland 1889-1930 (south)
      * France colonised somaliland ( Djibouti)1883-1889 and
      * Northeast province somaliland colonised by Britain 1888-1910, but gave it to Kenya.
      * ogaden region conquest by ethiopian empire 1890-1930. Given away too by Britain again.
      * 1960 both north and south were independent and united Republic of Somalia and disbanded in 1991. So the is no such thing as its somali people live there its somali land to begin with 😊

    frankincense is what old Egyptians used to import from Punt ( Puntland state of Somalia) which is part of Somalia. My Family back at home manage more than 200 Boswellia trees. They are special trees which are inherited from our grandfathers. Frankincense (also known as olibanum) is an aromatic resin used in incense and perfumes, obtained from trees of the genus Boswellia in the family Burseraceae.

    And we are not 15M, if our population was estimated 10M in 80th which was not even the correct number
    You can imagine how our population growth after almost 40 years yes we were in conflict for like 30 years, but never let anyone tell you that wars effected our population growth, the average Somali family have 5-7 kids, Somalis are known to have more kids,
    Today as we speaking overall Somalis are atleast between 35-40M and the population live in Somalia is about 20-25M
    And our country’s map is not shaped #7 there’s big land the criminal white men give to Kenya and Ethiopia and one day we will come for it
