It is not every day that I learn of a entire sizable island and culture that I did not know existed. This was a great topic
🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪❤️❤️
I didn't know Sam can talk without telling a joke every 20 seconds.
He totally can't. He's just laboriously cutting them all out of every other sentence :)
He tells jokes?
He is much better when he doesn't
Lol
This a serious video that is why he didn't tell any jokes
Not to mention the unique language of the island - Soqotri, which is as far from Arabic as Ge'ez is - and its rich heritage of oral literature. The language's use is falling away. There are efforts underway to preserve it - esp through the use of poetry, which long has been an important part of Soqotri culture - but the efforts are few...
ok
@@user-op8fg3ny3j At some point Arabic, South Arabian languages (ie Soqotri), and Ethiopic languages shared an ancestor. But by our reconstructions, the closest languages to the Ethiopic ones are South Arabian - not Arabic.
Sounds un-Islamic.
@@NajwaLaylah because it is. Is that not ok because you are islamic?
@@HDTomo It's an understandable mistake to equate an Arabic name with being Islamic, but still a mistake.
Nice video! Congratulations on the new channel! I want to mention that the Arabic language on the island isn't quite correct because Adobe AE only recognizes left to right languages by default. If you want to write dual language (Arabic and English) you need to activate the (South Asian and Middle Eastern) option in settings.
Finally, a useful comment, a hundred people said the same thing about the Arabic being backwards but no one else had any advice on how to fix it
@@xp8969 maybe because not everyone is a professional using Adobe software and not aware that this is a technical error and not a human error?
Came here to say this!
Yeah, at a first glance a thought: what the h... but then realized that these are just isolated letters written in a wrong direction. sdrawkcab hsilgnE ekiL
Someone should tell Adobe it’s 2021 and right-to-left texts should be recognized by default
I love that this show is back
Are the podcast episodes still available?
@@drewlovely2668 ye they are still on spotify
I recommend the podcast to anyone who has liked this episode!
Great video. Just a note: the Arabic text on the map of Socotra is backwards and the letters are separated, when they should be connected. Happens a lot with some typesetters.

13:30 "They control the overseas", by which he means they control the seas and maritime access to the island, not "they control the offices", as it is captioned.
Living in UAE, I have never heard of this island. Glad this show is back
You must be living in a tiny bubble
Hope you guys keep the island for good. Your government would probably do a far better job taking care of it than Yemen ever could. It is a perfect natural getaway from the skyscrapers of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
@@wyqtor agreed. It’s definitely better to be part of a developed nation that can provide for the islanders than to be part of a super underdeveloped nation that are too busy fighting a civil war to take care of a tiny island.
@@brunoglopes agreed but the uae is already doing that. All education and medical sectors on the island is funded by the uae. Many people already get Emirati citizenship and it’s over all a very good investment
@@ahmedfaraaz1 thats why we need shows like this, to break people's bubbles. I assume that's why they are glad to have this show as well
I am visiting Socotra in February and am excited to see the place before it’s inevitable development. My contact there shared the same concerns about the massive amount of development going on around the port region and outside of the capital. To put it into perspective though, there’s still no major accommodation outside of the capital so we’ll be camping for all but one day.
How will you get there? Through Cairo?
Feb of 2022?
Are you related to Eva zu Beck?
So you're condoning Socotra's occupation by the EAU ???
So you hate baby turtles?
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how Sam never uses clickbait unlike almost every other UA-camr but instead delivers quality videos?
these mini-documentaries are keeping me entertained and educated at the same time! i’m so proud of this expansion from Wendover Productions…what a interesting story and island. ☺️🙏
So true
The ecosystem seems something straight out of a Alien Planet. Trees that look like mushrooms, birds with emerald green eyes, coral reefs. I just hope war and modernization around earning $ doesn't win over the Heritage site.
Tell that to the Blinded Emiratis who are a Persianized arab tribe
May allah help us protect this Unique eden
Dear Sam: I’ve been an avid follower of yours for quite a bit, and the quality of your videos has just gotten to a point where they’re documentaries on some of the most interesting topics one can find. I love this new channel, it’s so human, it brings these obscure realities close to us and teaches so much.
In the 1970's I flew US Navy reconnaissance missions between Diego Garcia, BIOT and Bandar Abbas, Iran, monitoring Soviet Naval activity off Socotra, of geopolitical interest even back then.
It's strange how "extremities" like Socotra can be such geopolitical hotbeds.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 because it's a crazy lynch pin like perfect stop over from the suez
What was the craziest recon mission you went on?
Did you ever see a Soviet naval ship up close
Yes back then Socotra was under the control of Communist South Yemen, a client of the Soviet Union
I'm a botanist and owner of a cactus & succulent nursery. This island is one of the top places I want to visit and has been for years as the plant life there is truly unique. Guess I should get there in the next several years before it gets overrun unfortunately.
It won’t lol
Can you do Georgia and the south sandwich islands? Or the Falklands?
Or Tristan Da Cunha
Interestingly, I was looking through maps of the oceans and found this little blob off the coast of Yemen.. and bam. A month later. This is truly a paradise waiting to be explored.
I was thinking the same thing. Socotra was always just a footnote on a map to me, until now.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 definitely check out Eva Zu Becks video on Socotra as well.
@@dallascricket8532 actually socotra is off the coast of Somalia, its literally located in the guardafui channel
@@hassanabdikarimmohamed2505 same difference.. neither of us would be on this board if we didn't know where Socotra was. It's off the coast of Yemen on one side, the other side leads to Somalia through the guardafui. Hopefully that is a satisfactory explanation
@@dallascricket8532 mate, I don't mean to argue, but geographically speaking, socotra is off the coast of Somalia, its literally in the guardafui channel of Somalia, also, its right next to the Somali coastline but its hundreds of km away from yemen so again, geographically, socotra is off the coast of Somalia, and is closer to the latter, it is also obviously off the coast of distant yemen
How could you not want to stay in the capital when visiting a place like Socotra? So what the beach trip becomes a day long affair at least the biosphere is retained.
New channel, new story!
Incredible, Sam and team! I am so happy to have extremities back!
(also this channel has always been a huge inspiration for me in pursuing documentaries, especially since Sam started during high school)
I was just about to go do something productive, guess it will have to wait another hour
Lol
This can be productive tho. Your learning something :P
I would have loved to go but Socotra, even before the civil war, has always been difficult for people to travel to. It's one of those places where, if you're not from the adjacent areas, you need to have money to get to.
Socotra island belongs to Somalia 🇸🇴
@@mohamedwaititi6192
The residents of the island would tell you something different 😁
All d way from German come to steal an Africanland using UNISCO its crime. Coz the owners a powerless , so money rulls. The owners doesnt want foreigners they a wsnt thier normal life not hinders by theives who potray as rescuwerz n developerz.
The US also blockades medical supply trade to Yemen and Iran, which is a literal war crime.
Also the US invaded both Afghanistan and Iraq, greatly increasing regional instability in the region, adversely affecting civilians throughout the area. Even the European and Asian continents were adversely affected by the ensuing refugee crisis. The US must enable at minimum medicinal trade and re-enter the Iran deal that the US broke.
It started even earlier. Without the US and their homegrown terrorist organisation CIA, Iran would be most likely a democracy and not the fucked up fundamentalist state it is nowadays.
Without Iran being fundamentalist we wouldn't have any strong support for those rebels and the likelihood of the current civil war in Yemen would be way lower.
@@ttrreebboorr22000066 This is also very true.
Iran has to stop supporting terrorists, stop the want to spread their revolution
@@Zaabi you misspelled the US
@@xp8969 no
Correction: it was given back to the yemeni government in 2018
A sad mistake but Emirati socotra will remain Emirati
Yes it will always be Yemen
@@Zaabi
Why the obsession with Yemeni territory?
Don't you have enough toys to play with in your joke of a country?
@@tumslucks9781 go bark somewhere else
Hey Sam, good job on this!! Even if a few details were a bit off, you clearly put in a lot of effort to understand a complicated topic, and I appreciate you.
Maybe u could enlighten us on the details that are a bit off?
@@Kuryux it’s a copypasta
@@Kuryux If you really want to nitpick, he said that the "Islamic State of Iraq" controls part of Yemen, when in reality the ISI stopped existing in 2013 when it became ISIS. The successor group active currently in Yemen is Islamic State Yemen Province (Wilayat al-Yaman).
You're doing the lord's work. Especially considering all the complaints about his minor error with the Arabic writing.
@@michaelcruickshank6429 Because it's total bullshit, IS has never controlled part of Yemen. It's just made up by the Houthis/Iran so that they claim to be the ones fighting terrorism and to create good publicity for themselves.
The excellent photographer Daniel Kordan visited the island recently and took amazing images of the landscape and trees. Truly special place. So it is possible to get there, even now. Would be amazing to visit although I doubt I ever will . . .
Isn't that the island you need to conquer when you try to bring Nestorianism back?
There's also some Nestorians in India in the earliest start date I'm pretty sure.
@@RestingJudge in ck3 or in eu4?
@@ipskied9278 Ck3, I'm pretty sure it's extinct in EU4
@@RestingJudge yeah, i think it is called the yahalabaha emirate in ck3 or something in socotra. Not sure bout India though
@@ipskied9278 I might be thinking of CK2, I've been into Stellaris for the past few months so I might be a bit rusty on my CK knowledge.
I can't be the only one thinking that shifting the island's administration from poor, unstable Yemen to rich, (more) stable UAE is a good thing to preserve the island long-term. UNESCO & co would probably be able to work with a government that has far more resources and motives to care about Socotra's development than under Yemen now.
Agreed. We’re the most stable country in MENA. That’s not also saying that UAE already has history with the island such as the al socotri family in UAE and the fact uae owns a lot of land on socotra. It’s a win win for everyone
@@Zaabi No it isn't since the UAE does not care about the socotri people but they only care about profits
@@Aiordo you do realize that 60% of Emiratis from Ajman are of socotri decent? Family names like al socotri and al hadromi are common here
@@Zaabi Not really but do you really think the UAE is doing this to help the the socotri people no UAE has been chasing only look at somalia the UAE has been stealing Natural resources from them and they have been trying to take over Socotra by force the UAE only care about profit look at how many slave laborers are their in the UAE
@@Aiordo 😂😂 they got you with the false information?
Such a beautiful Island. Ruined by UAE.
You mean saved by UAE.
Wait a second, there's nothing about bricks here....
No, that is what HAI is for, I think.

But I stayed for the 9:1 aspect ratio

Make a video on Cerro Gorto ghostown, once the biggest silvermine of California. Today a man is trying to renovate it, and posts about this on UA-cam. It's called Ghost town living.
Two of my friends worked there for a few weeks - apparently it’s wild
Dr Andreas Krieg from the School of Security of King's College London on the UAE's strategy on Socotra: "This is a typical Emirati subversion approach in Socotra, trying to exploit grievances of local communities to buy influence through hearts and minds...since 2015, this subversion in Socotra is about Abu Dhabi's Horn of Africa policy."
(C) MEMO 2021
As a Yemeni, it saddens me that the Archipelagos of Socotra is being occupied by the UAE, just because they have oil money. They've also taken over Mayoon Island and built a military base, according to Reuters.
This reminds me of Russia annexing the Crimea from the Ukraine and nobody did anything.
Crimea was annexed after a referendum. I hope there’s a referendum in socotra by years end. Socotra would prosper with UAE.
@@Zaabi maybe uae should be annexed by the saudis, it won't make any difference after all they r us daddy's u do as they say.

So different from Wendover, but same high quality!!!
💜🌍🌄🌳✌️😎🍀
Thank you! Very informative, and lovely to see Adnan. He will be my guide when I visit next month.
The Socotras might be a largely forgotten archipelago nowadays - but those had a lot higher significance earlier, especially in ancient times -> as I recall from my studies, in the 2nd century BE Rome had even established an outpost - since the islands were on the route between Roman Egypt and India. All in all I hope for peace 1st of all, then that they will manage to find balance between modern society/economy and preserving nature as it is ...
And I though I had a pretty enlarge Geography knowledge, until you brought up Socotra, an Island I had never heard of. Thank you
Socatra ppl are yemeni ppl UAE wants to occupy the yemeni island
There’s no Yemen anymore, 60% of Ajman Emiratis are of socotri decent
Socotra belongs to uae 🇦🇪

Another great one! I wish I’d gone in 2009 when I had the chance. Still kicking myself for that
The dragons Blood tree is also endemic of the Canary Islands, Cape Verde and parts of the morrocan coasts. As usual, very good video, but, like showing clips from reindeers in kerguelen (where there are no reindeers), this little details throw a little bit of people like me because it's not so difficult to get It exact. As always, excellent video, but always check sources.
I believe that the Morrocan/West African ones belong to a different species but I can't remember...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't Christians a Jewish sect in 52 CE? How do we know they were Christians? The cross wasn't a Christian symbol back then, I'm not even sure about the fish symbol.
Socatra islande yemen 🇾🇪
Then you should have not abandoned it, it belongs to UAE soon there’s going to be a referendum. You failed in doing the most basic forms of care
@@Zaabi shut up lies
the british should have stayed and seen to it the yemenis never again set foot on it.
Only found out about this island recently because of a Yemeni archaeologist who has traveled there.
Fascinating place.
Great video! But i think you got the Arabic transliteration of Socotra backwards, like it reads artkos
it is due to an error on the software used.
Wonderful video. I really want to travel there so bad. However…. we do have those dragon trees in the canary islands!!!!
Really? On all the islands? It seems pretty crazy to have those rare trees only in those two unique sets of islands on opposite sides of Africa. Nature never ceases to amaze! 💚🌍🌄🌳🍀✌️😎

Welcome back. Like Hachiko, we've been patiently waiting. Love the excellent animation in these.
3:18 - I believe arabic inscriptions must be re-created in the video: they are written left-to-right, although correct way is right-to-left.
2:39 - please also fix: Homo Sapiens (there must me an "s" at the end of the 2nd word).
UA-cam doesn't allow videos to be edited
@@xp8969 then it could be fixed and re-uploaded.
Thank you - a very comprehensive view on Sokotra's history and present. Just came back, Adnan was our group's guide - much appreciated!
Between the war and covid I don't really imagine alot of folk are visiting rn. But it's a beautiful place. I really don't want to see building on there because hotels n stuff will definitely Fk up the rare plants/life permently.
Even a bug in someone's shoe could do serious damage to these kinds of places. God forbid a rat finds its way there
Homeland of the magnificent Dorstenia gigas and Adenium socotranum.
Soqatara, actually belongs to Somalia.

Well now we have another channel to watch
Love your high quality work! Thrilled this is on UA-cam.
Socotra is hidden gem and Is an iceland of african continent

Awesome video! Just a correction at 3:12, the Arabic script is inverted (left to right, should be right to left), it should be سقطرىٰ
Socotra is UAE now?? How have I missed this?..
You missed a war?
UAE as part of their destruction and war in yemen are now stealing whatever resources they can from them since the country is in the midst of war. it’s very disturbing.
It’s not part of UAE it’s part of their client state in Yemen, the South Yemen Movement Government based in Aden, led by the Southern Transitional Council
@@TheLocalLt it will be part of UAE. The people support it.
@@Zaabi I think the UAE prefers to keep it as part of South Yemen to avoid direct responsibility. Then after the war, assuming South Yemen and thus Socotra reintegrates into a reunited Yemen, the UAE can then use their presence on Socotra as leverage over the new Yemeni regime
I don't know if anyone told you Sam, but the Arabic spelling above the Latin spelling for "Socotra" in the island graphic is back to front. I was wondering why it was so hard to read.
Thanks a lot Sam.
So excited for the channel! Gonna go back and check out the podcast as well. I remember extremities being announced a few years back, but I wasn't in to podcasting at the time so it was really off my radar. Now, it seems like the perfect show for me.
16:51 It is absolutely heartbreaking to see women living like that. Compelling women to dress in that manner is incredibly dehumanizing and misogynistic.
“Dehumanizing”
@@Zaabi "grow up".
Jup. And plenty of people will try to argue in favor of forcing women to dress like that. Mainly men or brainwashed women.
Thank you for the video and congratulations on the new channel! Looking forward to more in-depth stories!
Hey isn't this Sam from Wendover
Nah, I think it's the guy from HAI
@@xp8969 oh yeah you're right
surprised this island has been under Yemeni control to begin with considering Socotra is practically off the coast of northern Somalia. you’d think Somalia would have more influence on the island considering the proximity between the two but no.
why notifications are turned off for this channel?
Socotra Island and Abdul Kuri Island are part of Greater Somalia originally in the Indian Ocean within the borders of Somalia on the continent of Africa. This will never come true for them. This is the dream of the Arabs, Yemen and the Emirates together.
So, the Little Bay Islands video that was uploaded to the Wendover Productions channel was uploaded as a 21:9 video. Meaning that, for the people with 21:9 phones and monitors, the video filled the screen, while for those with 16:9 phones and monitors, the cinematic black bars are introduced to the top and bottom of the video.
The fact that UA-cam can natively, properly handle 21:9 is great, but it is little known, so I was excited to see you upload a 21:9 edited video IN 21:9 aspect ratio, making use of it.
However, all three uploads here, *including the upload of the Little Bay Islands video*, are 16:9. This reduces resolution by wasting the pixels that are outside the videos 21:9 content, but inside the 16:9 file uploaded. It also means black bars on all four sides of a disappointingly small display window.
Two Questions:
Why are the videos on the channel not being uploaded in 21:9, if they're being edited in 21:9?
Will the channel start uploading in 21:9 because they're being edited in 21:9?
Bravo on presenting some brave and very balanced information here - this is a really exciting direction to take the channel in. Dealing with not just isolation as an extremity but also geopolitical pressures and the burden of preserving valuable natural resources as well - what a great and to me previously unknown extremity.
Socotra is a Yemeni island
No it belongs to Somalia

"...the UAE offered to reopen the Sheikh Zayed Hospital in the Somali capital Mogadishu on the condition Somalia take part in the war in Yemen, while officially claiming the Socotra archipelago as Somali territory."
