  • JOIN ME as I finally make it to SOMALIA!
    Somalia has long had a reputation for violence on the street, corruption and civil war. I recently put a vote out to you guys on Twitter and you opted for MOGADISHU.
    I travelled 30 hours to Mogadishu via Doha so lets waste no time and head down the fish market and Baker market (Black Hawk Down) site.

      Yea its pretty accurate cus other vloggers who go to somalia show the good side only. Yea i love my country and its rlly fun to travel to each year but alot of somalis r living in stressful unsafe conditions so i like that he showed the realness of this side. Theres safer areas he could’ve went to tho so im impressed

    Its like coming to the uk and showing all the run down areas full of crackheads and homeless people everywhere and hiring some security to keep me safe..i guess showing the negative side of the story draws in a bigger audience on UA-cam..generally somalia is beautiful blessed with kind people and blessed with resources its just been missed managed mainly to the benefit of the western nations

      @@CallumAbroad no problem I know about the rules for western travelling to somalia they will give you guards and they wrap you in wool beacuse if anything happens to you they lose their job. This leads to you not seeing much..but am also right about negative contents gets higher views ..I look forward to your other videos you can only show where they want to take you..am not just chatting it I am british somali myself.. if you want to walk freely till the late hours and go anywhere you want take the plane to somaliland that's where am from..totally different from somalia

I have seen several videos of UA-camrs like you just trying to get view on expense of other peoples dignity. This poor people are trying and working had. Shame on you.
