OMG, WHAT THE AMAZING HUMAN BEING, PROFESSIONAL JOURNALIST, POLITICAL COMMENTATOR AND ANLYSIST THANK YOU SO MUCH FREDO ROCKWELL FOR THE FACTS YOU PRESENTED ON SOMALILAND, IN A PROFESSIONAL WAY YOU TEACH THE WORLD AND OF COURSE THE US ABOUT DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF SOMALILAND. THIS PROGRAM TOUCH OUR HEARTS 💕 GOD BLESS YOU HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Hi I come from somaliland and live London last 31 years and im from two countries I love somaliland and UK I came back from somaliland and the report is good man you made me cry when you reminded me about Hargeysa’s past and what happened to me as a child in hargeysa
Thank you so much for this comment. I can only imagine what it would be like to live through something like this. At the event in November Edna Adan talked about the bombing so movingly I had to include it here. It's such a terrible story, but one which must not be forgotten.
The war started when I was 15 years old. They bombed us and after a month in Hargeysa’s we left with my family and disabled aunty and we arrive in the countryside without food,clothes and water. We walked for 1 hour and a half and my younger sister was 7 but still the army jets followed us and bombed us again. I saw dead innocent bodies of men and women and the side effect of that caused me to be scared of a balloon when my children pop then. I wish that we don’t join with Somalia ever again and thank you for telling the truth about somaliland and I wish I find more people like you.
Despite having defined population, functioning government elected through Democratic means,constitution, currency, passport and boundary, lack of recognition is Somaliland's only Achilles heel. Respect from Kenya❤🇰🇪
Wow thank you so much 💗 Fredo we really appreciate it, long Live Somaliland 🙏🏾 We will not rest until the world knows about Somaliland, ISQAAQ GENOCIDE and tge History of Our Heroes SNM and to regain RE-RECOGNITION Of Somaliland!! ❤❤
@@zackabdirahman951 Ma waxbaad dhibsatay? Why are you fighting freedom of speech? Happy with my new found country and proud of my motherland and I'll speak If and when I see it fit
I KNEW FROM THE BUTTOM OF MY HEART that one day the world would come the reality of my COUNTRY Somaliland. Thank you. I have immediately shared this clip on my facebook.
Thank my friend for your support 🙏 somaliland has worked very hard to get where they are and trying to stand up for the people of somaliland Thank once again keep going 👍 👏
@@FredoRockwell America is playing with FIRE that will further destabilize the entire region, continent, the world. Notice, how the “mighty” U.S government is literally afraid to recognize Taiwan, but is quick to break up Iraq, Somalia, Libya, etc. Almost every U.S foreign policy has been a failure in Africa, Asia, Latin America, etc but now America wants to open a pandora box. Be careful what you wish you cause in retaliation countries might recognize Texas as a sovereign country.
I am very happy that you are advocating for somaliland As a somalilander I hope that your discussion in somaliland will be a path to recognition May God bless you and I greet you and the people of your country
Thank you for your video full of facts about the recent History of Somaliland, and highlighting the reality on the ground that will advance and promote the case of a sovereign Somaliland...
Thank you; Fredo👌 excelent reporting mate..Rapid fire delivery, my whole crew is watching . Ok , i was eight years old in hargeisa in 1988 to this day i remembered like its yesterday. And today the only way for us to ever get out of this prediciment is to struggle to survive.. Somaliland💕for_ ever
So glad you liked the video - and hello to your crew! I can't imagine what it must have been like for you during the bombing. I can understand why that story is so important to the people of Somaliland.
Thank you very much Fredo. Here are few reasons why Somaliland must be recognized as a sovereign state. 1. Historic right : Somaliland was an independent country before it joined in a union with Somalia. Therefore, it has the right to reclaim its independence as it was the mother country and was a sovereign state , Somalia was still an Italian colony. Somaliland sovereignty is in line with AU charter, which states that African borders at the time of independence must be respected. 2. Legal right: And by the way, Somali Republuc didn't sign into that charter. Another reason of historic importance is that Somaliland didn't sign declaration of union with Somalia, but it was annexed in Somalia presidential decree. A referendum was set years later for the Somali Republic constitution that included the union of Somaliland and Somalia as its major article. That constitution was boycotted by 75% of then Somaliland voting eligible population and the remaining 25% voted no for the constitution. On the other hand, There were 5 million voters from Somalia, who all voted "YES" for that constitution, when Somalia only had a total population of only 3 million - so this was the most fraudulent referendum on earth. Thus, Somaliland has the inalienable right for self determination. 3. Moral right : Somaliland benefited nothing from the union with Somalia, but it was in the receiving end of political, economic, social and justice segregation, which climaxed with 1988 genocide. 4. Somalia is failed states and it has been as such for the three decades and most likely will remain as such in the foreseeable at least the coming three decades. There is no point for Somaliland to repeat the mistake of reunion that was tried for almost three decades and which has failed badly. Reunion will only create further wars, political , economic and social instability not only in Somaliland and Somalia, but in the greater Horn of Africa. This will benefit no one and it will have further implications on the rest of the world including the great powers. 5. Finally, here is my favourite question, what will Somaliland and the rest of the world benefit from Somaliland and Somalia reunification?
The only thing here my brother was on point all the way #somalilandfirst USA we say welcome and right we can learn one or two thing from USA senator we say thank you we moving forward slow or first we keeping on..
That is the right angle of the Somali Story. But as Somalilanders we Must use legal Acivities to strike world Courts, because Somalia behave like they own legaly this region and that is not true. Its upto us to play the game of political and law. You get what you want, No One gonna give it to you.
I saw this video title and my immediate thought was, "Since when?" A knew most of the brief individual facts you went over in the beginning, but that was about it. Very good points bringing up China, strategic interests, and relative promise when it comes to more long-term stability compared to its many neighbors. Going over their earned patriotism and love of country was a surprising joy to see! You make a good case for me to actually care, thank you for that. I will pay more attention to them and look on with hopeful admiration. 🇺🇲👍
Great video as always Fredo, thank you for showing our history and country to the american population. I hope the The United States yields it power correctly and help Somaliland get its deserved recognition.
Thank you Fredo🙏🏾. 27/may/1991 I was there in Burao, as 14 years old and optimistic about the future after long term oppression of Siad Bare regime. Love and respect from Somaliland🙏🏾
Thanks Fred for sharing information about our peaceful country DEMOCRATIC SOMALILAND SOMALILAND ❤❤❤❤ USA 🇺🇸 MUST TAKE ACTION TO RECOGNIZE YOUR MESSAGE IS VERY IMPORTANT WE WILL REMEMBER ❤YOUR EFFORT TO KNOW ABOUT❤❤❤ SOMALILAND ❤❤❤THANKS

Fredo thanks for the informative video, I couldn’t agree more! As a Somaliland born; survivor of that genocide and as a US citizen I have very strong support for such ties between two nations that I hold dear and I would die to defend. Thanks again keep going!
Hello my fellow American! So glad you liked the video. I made it especially for Americans to see and hopefully understand the issue better. I hope it helps!
Genocide? The isaq tribe is responsible for genocide against other clans in north somalia. South somalia has for more deaths because of the war than north Somalia. Snm is responsible for the massacre. Sponsored and trained by ethiopia to kill fellow somalis. Siad barre tried to restore law and order but snm kept killing and looting. Somalis know what happened don’t play the victim. A clan cannot become a country. If so we would have 100’s of countries within Somalia
@@countcryptonite When your only way to argue is to point out the flaws of the other side, that's called "whataboutism." It is also taken as a tacit admission that you have no response to the actual issue.
Fredo I don't know you brother but you won our hearts and I have to admit it. I always have goosebumps watching your Somaliland videos. WE LOVE YOU FREDO :)
@@FredoRockwell wow .landers think that you are promoting their cause but the only you are promoting is american interest..mr rockwel you forger to point out the outcome of Somaliland recogntion and balkanization of Somalia and out going war in Las Anodl
Ooohh thank you Fredo, Somaliland has come a long way but we still have a long way to go. We need all the support we can get in order to further our cause. I believe in my country and my people and that one day we will become a shining star amoung nations with Allah’s grace isha Allah❤️
Thank you very much, Fredo for showing the rest of the world what Somaliland is about, and that Somaliland deserves internationally recognition from the international community and Somaliland was a country before Somalia in 1960, which has legal grounds for recognition.
Goosebumps all over. Thank you soooooo much for this. We are not perfect but we are working hard to keep the peace in Somaliland. We hate dictatorship of any form and we stand with Democracy as we should and must. Thank you from the bottom of my heart dear Fredo Rockwell. May Allah keep blessing you with many good fortunes in this world and the next eternal one. Ameen
Wow, goosebumps?! I'm glad you liked the video! I agree - the best way to keep improving is to make sure you are always aware there is more to improve!
@@FredoRockwell Very true. Self awareness is very important as is self-reflection. We have to know we are not perfect and we can always improve our countries for the betterment of our people and the people around us.
Well informed, and as somalilanders we are very grateful that you are urging the American people to contact there representatives in Washington for this matter.
A very fascinating and penetrating short but sharp background of wahts SOMALILAND and why Somaliland is flower shining in a dump site of chaotic of Horn of African states, our story is not a sprint but a dynamic marathon Thanks indeed for your sincerely support of our nation.
Thank you fredo for your fascinating video you briefed how far we come, and how my country achieved many accomplishments that couldn't achieve rich oil countries in Africa. I hope your video will get 1 million veiws.
Fredo Rocwell Thank you very much, and we really appreciate how you explain in details that lot of countrys didn't Know that the genocide took place In soomaalidand
Dear Fredo, Thank you very much for your support as a Somalilander, we know your support. We are still wondering why we in Somaliland see the USA as an important place for Somaliland and its trade routes, and we hope that the USA will recognize the importance of Somaliland to the world and to the USA. thank you mr fredo. Already i subscribed and share All my friends. But we ask that you always support us so that we can support you more subscribers, more likes and more comments.
Thanks Mate for Supporting My Country Somaliland Republic which we built from Scratch. I had seen your Video about The Fantastic Night in London with the legendary DR Edna Aadan Ismail and the 63 years English who was born in British Protectorate Somaliland by the Mideife back then Dt Edna Aadan Ismail
Thank you Friend for explaining the truth about Somaliland. It’s about time for the USA to engage with the Somaliland. Excellent reporting.. keep up the good work.
@Fredo Rockwell, On behalf of the people Somaliland, thank you for the kind words and exposure. Somaliland will remember you, and we are NOT people who forget those who stand by us in difficult times. Once again, thank you very much.
@@FredoRockwell Why doesn’t the might U.S government recognize Taiwan? Is it because you’re TERRIFIED of what will China do to you? So you decide to act tough and further divide black and brown countries in Somalia, Iraq, Libya, etc huh?
Probably for the same reasons hardly anyone recognizes Taiwan - they claim to rule all of China (which they don't) and this makes it difficult to have normalized relations with the government in Beijing. I'm not a fan of the Beijing government, but it's probably best for everyone if the US and China have normal diplomatic relations. Thanks for watching!
@@FredoRockwell America ONLY gives a wink to Taiwan but it will never recognize it due to the retaliation from China which can also recognize Puerto Rico and other Western Hemisphere territories. The so called Monroe Doctrine will be flipped upside down. I just find it absolutely pathetic that American politicians and officials will pretend to recognize the “Rights” of foreign people, but will NEVER recognize the basic rights of American citizen to healthcare, living wage, free college, etc. For God’s sake Flint Michigan and countless of American citizens don’t even have clean water. Do the whole world a favor and just take care of your own people instead of trying to interfere in the political and social affairs of others. That would be peaceful for all of us.
@@thinkbeforeyoutype7106...somalia should do the same and be atleast stable instead of running after somaliland which they have no right to do. You all lying to yourself, remember it was a union by the 2 parties and when it didn't work landers had to opt out.simple. And those salty are known to be one group from afweyne lineage.
I am appreciate you for excellent report for somaliland history and it has a right to be recognised as independent country also I would like to request somalilanders and other people to be supported couse of somaliland independent. Thank you once again
I am a 'lander and I watched this video, to be honest, this the video I've been waiting for a long time. I would love to see you and everyone in the world in Somaliland. Summer is wonderful in the uplands of Sanaag, wintertime is awesome in all other regions. Somaliland is the next tourist destination, mark my words!
Thank you. The story, the sacrifice and the promise of better future needs to be told. I wish that the US recognizes the potential of the great people of Somaliland.
@@FredoRockwell You well informed by someone, so moderate a serious discussion on the supreme court's possible declaration of new political parties' registration which may ignite deadly civil war if the head of justice follow suit clannishly the Fatwa of the sitting president instead of saying Somaliland's foundation mirrors the US birth! an extreme analogy only wishful thinkers want to hear.
Mr Fredo Rockwell It is amazing work that you shared the Humanity and the world…here a country called Somaliland reborn again despite all the odds I m from Burao city….. the birth place of new Somaliland Thank you very much…….keep the good work
@@FredoRockwell it’s incredible if you knew the story of the final liberation it deserves a major blockbuster film material. The SNM movement who took arms was mobilising in Ethiopian border town when siade barre struck a deal with Ethiopian leader to stop save heaven and …. Precisely a kamakaze mission “do or die” was the final mission. I’m 32 now living in the states and are patriotism roots can’t not be described and all those who fought for justice over the whole last century. Thank you Fredo for what you’ve done. Absolutely remarkable.

Be careful what you wish you cause in retaliation countries might recognize Texas as a sovereign country.
Thanks ❤ Kosovo from Somaliland
Thank you man. You truly understand us. FREEDOM WILL NOT FALL.
thank you so much fredo for everything and telling the world truth about somaliland we r proud being somalilanders and always welcomes the US 👍❤

@@FredoRockwell i hope you long life
This is a very great video! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌷 Thank you for depicting Somaliland as it is, and what it has been through!
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for your comment.
Fredo thanks for the informative video, I couldn’t agree more! As a Somaliland born; survivor of that genocide and as a US citizen I have very strong support for such ties between two nations that I hold dear and I would die to defend. Thanks again keep going!
Hello my fellow American! So glad you liked the video. I made it especially for Americans to see and hopefully understand the issue better. I hope it helps!
Genocide? The isaq tribe is responsible for genocide against other clans in north somalia. South somalia has for more deaths because of the war than north Somalia. Snm is responsible for the massacre. Sponsored and trained by ethiopia to kill fellow somalis. Siad barre tried to restore law and order but snm kept killing and looting. Somalis know what happened don’t play the victim. A clan cannot become a country. If so we would have 100’s of countries within Somalia
@@countcryptonite When your only way to argue is to point out the flaws of the other side, that's called "whataboutism." It is also taken as a tacit admission that you have no response to the actual issue.

Thanks Mate for Supporting My Country Somaliland Republic which we built from Scratch.
I had seen your Video about The Fantastic Night in London with the legendary DR Edna Aadan Ismail and the 63 years English who was born in British Protectorate Somaliland by the Mideife back then Dt Edna Aadan Ismail
Thank you for supporting us ❤️
I'm happy to - you deserve it! :)
Thank you very much, I ,m from Somalland I born In Berbera Somaliland, but now I,m American citizen and live Des Miones Iowa.
Glad you liked the video! I've been to Des Moines - Iowa is a great state!
Thank you Friend for explaining the truth about Somaliland. It’s about time for the USA to engage with the Somaliland. Excellent reporting.. keep up the good work.
We love you too thank you for your support
Thank you so much!
@Fredo Rockwell, On behalf of the people Somaliland, thank you for the kind words and exposure. Somaliland will remember you, and we are NOT people who forget those who stand by us in difficult times.
Once again, thank you very much.
Thank you very much!
Hi Fredo Iam a new friend from Somailand and I am so proud of you and also thanks of you
Thank you so much! That's very kind.
Thank you so much for the short but fascinating Somali political history. Indeed, you summarised some of the hidden facts in the HOA.
My pleasure!
@@FredoRockwell Why doesn’t the might U.S government recognize Taiwan? Is it because you’re TERRIFIED of what will China do to you? So you decide to act tough and further divide black and brown countries in Somalia, Iraq, Libya, etc huh?
Probably for the same reasons hardly anyone recognizes Taiwan - they claim to rule all of China (which they don't) and this makes it difficult to have normalized relations with the government in Beijing. I'm not a fan of the Beijing government, but it's probably best for everyone if the US and China have normal diplomatic relations. Thanks for watching!
@@FredoRockwell America ONLY gives a wink to Taiwan but it will never recognize it due to the retaliation from China which can also recognize Puerto Rico and other Western Hemisphere territories. The so called Monroe Doctrine will be flipped upside down. I just find it absolutely pathetic that American politicians and officials will pretend to recognize the “Rights” of foreign people, but will NEVER recognize the basic rights of American citizen to healthcare, living wage, free college, etc. For God’s sake Flint Michigan and countless of American citizens don’t even have clean water.
Do the whole world a favor and just take care of your own people instead of trying to interfere in the political and social affairs of others. That would be peaceful for all of us.
@@thinkbeforeyoutype7106...somalia should do the same and be atleast stable instead of running after somaliland which they have no right to do.
You all lying to yourself, remember it was a union by the 2 parties and when it didn't work landers had to opt out.simple.
And those salty are known to be one group from afweyne lineage.
Mr. Fredo thanks, you did good job.
Thank you!
I am appreciate you for excellent report for somaliland history and it has a right to be recognised as independent country also I would like to request somalilanders and other people to be supported couse of somaliland independent. Thank you once again

Somaliland to the world
I am a 'lander and I watched this video, to be honest, this the video I've been waiting for a long time. I would love to see you and everyone in the world in Somaliland. Summer is wonderful in the uplands of Sanaag, wintertime is awesome in all other regions. Somaliland is the next tourist destination, mark my words!
Thanks for watching and commenting! I do hope to visit somaliland before too long. 😀
Thank you. The story, the sacrifice and the promise of better future needs to be told. I wish that the US recognizes the potential of the great people of Somaliland.
Let's hope recognition happens soon!
Thank you very much. You are the best.
Thank you! That's very kind. 🙂
I'm very much looking forward to watching your video, I'm already curious as to how you will elaborate it further.
I hope you'll like it!
I'm from Somalilnad thanks for your support and hospitality
Great content. I enjoyed watching it!
Thank you!
your reporting is unbiased!
I try but everyone is a bit biased. I'm sure I'm no exception!
@@FredoRockwell You well informed by someone, so moderate a serious discussion on the supreme court's possible declaration of new political parties' registration which may ignite deadly civil war if the head of justice follow suit clannishly the Fatwa of the sitting president instead of saying Somaliland's foundation mirrors the US birth! an extreme analogy only wishful thinkers want to hear.
Thank you I enjoyed this video 🥰
I'm glad. Thanks for watching!
Very informative video, thank you mr fredo rockwell 👍
Glad you liked it!
Mr Fredo Rockwell
It is amazing work that you shared the Humanity and the world…here a country called Somaliland reborn again despite all the odds
I m from Burao city….. the birth place of new Somaliland
Thank you very much…….keep the good work
Thank you for advocating for the statehood of Somaliland. Mr. We would like you to continue until Somaliland is recognized.
Somaliland deserve world recognition for what they having going and how they respect democracy also human rights.
I agree!
Excellent piece real documentary information about Somaliland. Thank you, well done.
I'm so glad you liked it. Thank you!
This is truly the land of the free and home of the brave in every sense of the word.
Oh I wish I'd thought of that too use in the video!!! 🙌
@@FredoRockwell it’s incredible if you knew the story of the final liberation it deserves a major blockbuster film material. The SNM movement who took arms was mobilising in Ethiopian border town when siade barre struck a deal with Ethiopian leader to stop save heaven and …. Precisely a kamakaze mission “do or die” was the final mission. I’m 32 now living in the states and are patriotism roots can’t not be described and all those who fought for justice over the whole last century. Thank you Fredo for what you’ve done. Absolutely remarkable.
Great and Fair presentation Mr. Fredo Rockwell .
Thank you!
