[MaWaOs]

Are you people really going to write Viva Somaliland? Dont you see that Somaliland is a name given to you by the colonialists who divided greater Somalia? There is only Somalia. ONE country. ONE people. ONE culture. ONE language. ONE religion. How will there ever be peace in Somalia when we keep dividing ourselves by qabil. Qabil is a disease in our hearts. P.S. there is no such thing as Somalian. We are Somali people. Our language is Somali etc.

[Msclaritygreen]

@MaWaOs well today somaliland actually refers to what was once known as northern somalia but the northerners dont want to be part of somalia so they made their own boundaries and called it somaliland,so when someone says somaliland,we all know what their talking about however much we try to ignore/act ignorant about it.look at syria/jordan/palestine etc they are all ONE arab people, with ONE language but they have all divided themselves into separate countries. whats wrong if somalis do that too

[houseofpain12345]

The problem with somalia is not somalia but understanding the difference between the ignorants (Al shutaap) and 'The people' who want freedom and a quick development in the economy. Somalia needs to pull it pants, socks, trousers and T- Shirt up, create projects for yourselfs be creative for ones because your 'the people' call it 'search for Al shutaap' and secondly work with new 'somalia honest police men and women' report them to the 'Searchers'.

[somalia4ever1]

k naan i like him cuz he likes his country every one likes him as long as he loves his somali the day i like him was when he wave somali flag infornt of whole world <3<3

[Derwind]

Actually it means "come out"

bax = meaning "out"

Soo = meaning "come"

Fun fact: The country Somali's name originates from the word "Soomal" was just a greeting and gesture shown when inviting someone to your home. They used it a lot in the past when Italian & English settlers were exploring the region. The actual regions name before being called Somalia was "Punt" which named by the Pharoahs as the "Land of Gods", reason being is that they got a lot of there spices & cosmetics from there.

[neekface]

@Derwind i like fun facts

[rolio1]

Damn ya'll don't know how it feels when everybody in your country is ready to kill to live! LEFT ALONE, ALL ALONE, SETTLE YOUR ISSUES ON YOUR OWN! WHAT TO DO! WHERE TO GO! I GOTTA BE A REFUGEE DAMN SOOBAX!!!!!!!

[leviamenra]

what is soobax?

[mangohair123]

@leviamenra 'soobax' means come on... in the sense that hes saying 'come on leave our country'.

likewise the other lyrics is saying, ' you drew blood, so now leave, you burnt out land, so now leave, you've trouble our people so comeon now leave'..

[mangohair123]

@leviamenra 'soobax' means come on... in the sense that hes saying 'come on leave our country'.

1:21 "Mogadishu used to be a place where the world would come and see".

hard to believe

[xNas92]

@Mrfairful Trust me it did till the war.

[Keezih]

@Mrfairful

It was. It was one of the most beautiful cities in Africa and even nicknamed 'White Pearl of the Indian Ocean'.

Somalia is one of the most beautiful countries in Africa and also has the longest coastline so it probably has the best beaches in Africa.

[rolio1]

@Mrfairful Very true, and he starts naming our beaches and the beautiful places we used to have, now every building is full of million bullets!

[scottprovost]

Free Open University teaches true Somali History. Ancient Egyptians, Phoenicians, Mycenaeans and Babylonians all got along with the Somali Kingdom for thousands of years. If you can't get along with them, it is you who has the problem, not them.

Just stay the F out of Somali Waters. Support Somali Sovereignty and pay your toll,

Somalis need to stop abandoning their country first chance they get! If your fortunate to get an education then do something to help your mother country out! Or this cycle of violence and corruption will never end!

Together we can turn Somalia into what it used to be, the most beautiful, most peaceful and most prosperous country in all of Africa!

Peace and love for all my Somali brothers and sisters.
