To snag a line from someone else:
"What do you mean there's no government in Somalia? *There are governments all over the place!"*

Given how Somalia is more ethnically homogenous than most African countries you'd think that would give them an advantage. But instead Somalia has been in a state of civil war longer than I've been alive.

Somali's: "Why is our country in a state of collapse?"
Also Somali's: "What tribe are you ?"

I work in government and I once had a Somali official visit my office. He was highly educated and ambitious. He was determined to make his country a better place for all of its citizens and it's the reason why he visited my country. He wanted to learn from our experience and try to apply it in his own country and I could see why. Our countries have lots of similarities in term of geography and socioeconomic conditions. Even personally I had lots of similarities with him, we have the same first name, we have similar hobby, and I found him to be very likeable in general. It's been years now and I'm still waiting for a good news from Somalia. I'm sure he's still working hard now. Stay strong, my Somali brothers. Hope you could get your stuff up together and develop soon. Love from Indonesia.

As a Somali living in Somaliland, I would like to say that the terrible bad things happening in our country are the results of the bad backward mentality of the Somalis(clanism, regionalism, religious irrationality, and a whole bunch of other things). It drives me crazy when someone says, "Somalia is poor, BEcaUse oF Colonialism"

Somalia is like the kid in school that was the clown in middle school and you thought he'd get over it after some time but you see them again in the high school reunion and their still the same. Its honestly just sad

I like how your videos demonstrate that the success or failure of a nation is often a combination of bad geography and the political structure of that nation. The fact that Somalis can find success if they go to a country like the US disproves several racist notions.

0:46 "Libertarian and Anarchist paradise" is actually a great description for Somalia.

Forgot to mention how foreign fishing companies fished off the Somali coast when they were going through a civil war and practically emptied it which resulted in previous fishermen turning to piracy.

Another great video, friend. As a African myself (Nigerian) it annoys me when most people only attribute Africa's current problems to "colonialism or racism", effectively removing personal responsibility of us Africans, and ignore more important factors like geography, climate, socioeconomic systems, political unity and leadership. Thanks for focusing on those areas.
