[firefrostpeacemaker]

@esham2009 it's pretty much both, i mean this is just like ogaden, 97% of people are somali, yet it's ethiopia, globalization is globalization, live with it.

[SuperMusa1234]

Somalian Island beacuse the british give it to yemen but it was us we will take our land one day

[alhami02010]

It is Yemeni island it is near Hudhramout

only 450 Km , and 700 Km from Somalia

[Reqrezentin]

@alhami02010 It lies off some 240 kilometres (150 mi) east of the Horn of Africa and 380 kilometres (240 mi) south of the Arabian Peninsula.

FUCKING LYING CUNT!

[ViceroyoftheCorner]

@Reqrezentin so geographically it was part of the arabian peninsula

[Reqrezentin]

@ViceroyoftheCorner

You could say the same of East Africa.....

[ViceroyoftheCorner]

@Reqrezentin how? IT was a piece of the Arabian Peninsula and broke off even after the arabian peninsula broke off from africa

[Reqrezentin]

@ViceroyoftheCorner

No, it used to be part of East Africa during the colonial times, then the British came and gave it to Yemen.

[ViceroyoftheCorner]

@Reqrezentin East africa is a region, not a country, a socotra was inhibited by Arabs and Somalis, although they were strongly dominated by their Yemeni ties linguistically and historically. Thus, when britain left YEmen it awarded it to yemen because it is tied more with Yemen than any country and millions of years ago before humans came it was a piece of the Arabian Peninsula anyway

[Reqrezentin]

@ViceroyoftheCorner

Somalia, to be specific. The Yemeni ties go as far as trade. It tied it to Yemen because it was still occupying Yemen whereas Somalia was under full Italian control since the British left the Northern regions.

[ViceroyoftheCorner]

@Reqrezentin then why do they speak a semetic language and claim they are yemenis? remember also when The Queen of Sheba brought dragon's blood from socotra to king solomon?

[TheSaffyone]

@ViceroyoftheCorner Don't fight, it is American now, Ali Saleh sold for an American base.

[ViceroyoftheCorner]

@TheSaffyone Alhamdullilah then socotra will be in safe hands and we could say its Yemen's just for the pride

[AsadAlyemen]

@SuperMusa1234 yeah? And says who? The pirates? Hahahahahaha

[EasternVibez]

how far is this island from sanaa?

[ThePeace1948]

1121 km

[AskariWaryaa]

Its near Somalia, so work it out!

[deluxairhead]

Hey Cindy

[marwanhass]

Socotra < my country best island I love yemen i love my country

[ptraxx]

stop your stupid little confrontations, listen the world is american so who gives a fuck about your shit countries..dont believe me? well tell me in which language you are debating right now????

[SharonX]

Lol The world is american...not even in my worst nightmares. Secretly america is being helped by Europe, but no one actually knows, because America = big = indistructible.....

xD....oh well, I live happily in Europe, and I don't feel like going to america anyways. Just for the nature maybe.

[LegitimacyCoalition]

I completely agree about what you said about Europe secretly helping America, and I am an American! This country is rapidly changing, for the worse, and trust me, it is no accident.......

[SharonX]

True, but let's hope it will change soon enough.

[amareto35]

sharkhosh you are typical Somalian guy.If the UN gives you Socatra tomorrow what you going to do with it..You couldnt even control your own country.Somalian start eating fish in 80s,thanx to siad barre. one thing I agreed with him is that he tought his people how to eat fish.Quit crying and start rebuilding your country before they take out of the map you idiot.

[sharkhosh]

LONG LIVE THE SOMALI EMPIRE FROM

NFD to Ogaden to Djibouti to the Eastern Somali Islands....

Separatists and unpatriotic Somalis should be charged with treason and hanged.

Starting with the leaders of the SNM and Modern SOMALILAND Idiots who cant even find a good name to name their "Dream country"...but those in Somaliland who support the Somali Empire should be applauded and honored

[sharkhosh]

No one likes the warlords who are in power right??? yes So how to get rid of them and win from them at their own GAME?? EASY...Support them over throw them by using your vote and hang them by using the new Internationally recognized Somali justice system that can later easily be made into an all Islamic law...no one likes Abdullahi Yusuf but there is more to fighting and succeeding than by just picking up and AK and killing kids in the cross fires of you and the Christian AMAHARAS(SHITS)

[sharkhosh]

Somalia has nothing too lose and all to gain..

Think about it if you support the TFG then the TFG will became a FG (federal Government not transitional) therefore you haven't supported the warlords you have supported a SOMALI GOVERNMENT that you the people can replace...and those same criminals that are killing Somalis now could be held accountable by the FG and the new president a president that is "For the people By the people and With the people"...SHEIK SHARIF?? anyone.. YOU?

[sharkhosh]

MY DEAR SOMALI & YEMENI FRIENDS MY NAME IS HOSH I'm a politician and yes I belong to the real HOSH FAMILIY..of the Mohamed Siyad Barre ERA anyways..I'm glad I started this big argument about Greater Somalia...and whether its just a dream or NOT...to be patriotic means loving the people of your nation even if they hate you..(very hard)The dream of Greater Somalia is in our reach but only after we stop the mess we have created and support reconciliation of Darood&Hawiya(TFG&ICU) Islamic Democracy

[Qassem57]

it is a kind of fairy tale that sultan of warsangali has given it to yemenis in return of a yemeni wife !!!!no wonder today you have broken down somalia to pieces by declaring makher state..what a shame !!!!

[Qassem57]

Sharkosh

are you another Isaisa Aforqi of eritrea one day claiming parts of yemen and other day claiming parts of jibouti instead of feeding his hungry people.why dont leave this issue to the politicains to settle it???? I am a somali and I never stduied in Civis about soctra beloning to somalia

[dotyemen]

Socotra Island goes back to Repulic of Yemen and the language that local ppl are speaking is Arabic and Mahrie,

[sharkhosh]

Socotra belongs to Somalia...it is way closer to Somalia than Yemen....PROBLEM IS SOMALIA IS IN A CIVIL WAR THAT HAS LASTED FOR ALMOST TWO DECADES ..but just ended in 2007...so we want back our ISLAND.

[libaaxlagad]

warya Sharkhosh hadalka badan iskadaa waxa waajib ah inaad muqdisho soo xoroysid xabashida ka boterinaysa shaaricyadeeda intaad socotra ka hadlaysid..xishood !!!!

[weezyyababy]

go take it lolz....punk ass somalia niggah

[suspendedb4]

lol go get punk ass nigga i gave that island to my yemeni brothers and i dont want it back infact they can have all of somalia i dont give a shit as loong as a muslim is ruling idiot stop creating unnecessary problems

[adrianoteles]

cindy rocks! by the way, what a beautiful place! how can i get to socotra? may peace prevail on earth!

cheers

[rada70]

Loved the video. Thanks to Cindy. I just wish it was longer.

[Qassem57]

Dulle100

yes agree with you somalis neber been slaves like other africans. infact they are very proud, descent and brave people.

all my respect to somalis. I am your brother from yemen.

[MaDalamery]

cindy mosey am really glad and happy of your work. it is something amazing what i saw about my country thanks

[Sekhemresementawy]

Socotra My Second Home Im half Egyptian half Yemeni Socotra 4 life

[dulle100]

somali have never been slaves we r muslims so love each other!

[Qassem57]

I know some somalis are living in parts of Oman, Does that mean such parts of oman belong to somalia, morever yemenis used to rule sultanate of adel does that mean Zeila belongs to yemen?????

[sexy4u2see]

fuck all of u am from socotra and to let u no

socotra is for yemen we speak arabic not african and our brothers from somalia use to be a slaves but now every thing is changed so please dont talk about my contry like that

[Qassem57]

No need to use coarse langauge and control yourself please I am somali and I think somalis never used to be slaves in arab coutries but I deeply beleive that soctra was uninhabited and then later been gievn to yemen therfore the frist settlers are known to be from yemen ..

[ViceroyoftheCorner]

@sexy4u2see there you go, tell them my friend

[CommanderBomblastic]

She seems to have enjoyed herself but it is incredibly insensitive of her to the local values, but the socotrans being such warm and friendly people treated her like a queen inspite of all the culture clash. When will the people in the west treat their own visitors with such great warmth, passion, and respect for all the differences there are??!!

[ymni4lifenodoubt]

WOW! Now us Yemenis Have something that actually is beautiful.

[Sovnarkom]

Are you born in Yemen? The whole country is beautiful.

[mashrah]

thanks that was such a terrific vidio i hope to visit soon and have half the experience you had

[ASSYRIANHERO]

Socotra island was first inhabitant by Assyrian christians who were the followers of Saint Thomas the Apostle, later on the greeks invaded the Island then the arabs,portuguese and later the british which gave the island to yemen since it is closer to that country .

[MichaelErkerMusic]

PHenomeAL! Sweet vid! What a performance! Can you imagine the kind of dreams the kids who saw that wind surfing are going to have? What a wonderful world! Thank you! -SergioMomarsh

[DAVIDEPAMPA]

è il massimo poi se c'è lei ancora meglio, come dire la cornice è bella ma senza la tela dipinta che senso ha ...?

[aquaadict]

you asked what is splashvison? it is a website portal with 1000's of videos & photos for water related lifestyles. it is a dot com site.

[Drakaloo]

Somalia is a beautiful country and on my visiting list , I hope the civil war ends and peace and security is established all over Somalia,so the Somali people can rebuild their country and live in prosperity.

[ramisaurus]

this is in Yemen not somalia....

[faz2088]

this island belongs to somalia Ramisaurus...the people are clearly related to somalian's yemen only has a baseless claim on socotra...but somalia will reclaim her land sooner rather then later.

[abkassim]

by the way I hate puntland indeed I call it inayeyland cause ina yey is shame to whole somali nation. he invited qaydhin cunayaal amxaar to enter mogadishu.. Somaliland ha noolaato we consider the rest of somalis our neiphbors.

[faz2088]

thats just like you saying you hate your brother but love your sister...you idiot what ever your brother is he's always be your brother...hate puntland for all i care it still belongs to the whole of somalia plus somali-land doesn't exist...it's just somalia full stop.

[abkassim]

You take care of your business before talking of other peoples lans .the peple of smaliland has expressed their wish to stay away from you and live in peace with all other states.somalinimo idinka ayaa ku xaaray

therfore leave eneyone else live in peace asshole !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Drakaloo]

Do not be sorry ,I realize that everyone represents himself or herself and no one else. I know some Yemenis who make stupid and outrageous comments thus I donot feel they represent me in any way. Somalis are our brothers and neighbors.

[Drakaloo]

Abunas2008 proximity does not count when it comes to islands , for example the Island of new Caledonia is about 14000 miles a way form France and about 200 miles from Australia Yet the Islands belongs to France, Proximity does not mean anything,Flura and fauna is similar to the Flora and Fauna in As well as Somalia , as you know that the Arabian Peninsula separated from Africa Millions of Years ago thus the Flroa and Fauna is very much about the Same.

[abkassim]

Well done Drakaloo I do not know whether you are somali or yemeni but as a somali I feel ashamed of my bothers who doesnot know even how to debate.

[piccolakitten]

hi Cindy...fantastic! thanks for sharing this with a fellow kiwi girl!

[vtkiwi]

Great video, thanks SO much for sharing it. Too bad some people felt obliged to introduce the political fight here, thats a real shame. This is not the place for that discussion.

[jlew23]

Cindy, if you're reading this, thanks for that bit of joy.

[alitube415]

that is very nice vedio..

[halkibsi]

Beautiful Short documentary of your visit to Socotra Island. I was there myself two years ago during April, about a month or so before the Monsoon season kicked in. It was truly amazing. With your permission, can I post your video to the Yemen Observer newspaper website?

[jnadavidson]

please do, I will be releasing a much longer edit with all the guys we took at a later date

[tjr2002]

damn scrums

socotra not Yemen nor Hadramout

I wish to see the day when abu yemen kicked out of our land:

And i have no problem to enlist in any liberation army

to red Hadramout the land of honesty and integrity from such rubbish people

[libaaxlagad]

tir2002

donot dream baby of something you have no right to talk about I, am a somali but if you are a man go and liberate mogadishu from dirty raw meat eaters.

[tjr2002]

what? who are u to tell me anything!!

I do not have to prove nothing to you

the dream will come true, and the Qrwood will go back to their 7yood

[libaaxlagad]

I am giving you an advice if you beleived the fairy tales of daarood (sultan warsengli) gave socotra to a yemeni cheif then xaaryahow wake up we ar in the year 2007, faqash faqash dhashay

[alhadeed]

Thanks for this Video Cidy. when was it filmed thoguh?

[albakri84]

the people their dress, act and for most of them look yemeni plus they speak arabic. haha we have an island and you don't.

[MASHAM66]

An excellent video. I hope the next time you visit you will find much more facilities as there are hotel projects in progress.

[abkassim]

Somaliyeey ilaawa socotra oo nacnacda meesha kala taga... somalia waxa burburiaya waa waalidii iyo dafdaftii aan lagalnay ogaden. balhorta teenna aan katalino...

[nmsaidi]

Great video, will go there one day

[ahmed100001]

somali  plz stop jokin about that

[abunas2008]

Dear people,

Socotra is a Somali Island that is illegally occupied by Yemen.

[da5rebelz]

wat u mean ILLEGALLY, we own it every body knows, what u guys fightin about man, its history shoot, live with it, people look forward u guys keep lookin back thats why ya never succeed.

[libaaxlagad]

waryaa ina dhilo shame on you our coutry is burning in to pieces and you talk about socotra xayawaan.

waxaanad helayn adoo ka hadhaa habboon nacasyahow.

[YemenBoi]

beautiful beach

[broadcastyemen]

Thank you Cindy, you have given us a nice clip about Socotra, really Socotra is very very nice and rich island, and it is a unique pure natural island too, but to the dude "abunas2008" you have a wrong info, Socotra is a Yemeni Island from the beginning of history and will be a Yemeni Island, you should study before comment any think

[yemenfelix]

doesn't make much a difference; read my comment above

[abkassim]

Leila your ignorance has no limtis by all standard.

the close proximity of islands doesnot mean it belongs to any country. there is andman island 800 kms away from india and only 50 km from indoensia yet blongs to india. Suqr island only 40 km away from yemen & belongs to eritrea. so my somali brothers we have enough problems on our heads keep on low profile.

[libaaxlagad]

subahanalaah soomaalidu waa sunta hargaha...

waaryaadheheen adduunka ceebtayadii baanu ka dhamaanwaynay markaasaad iminka sheeka baraley aad la timaadeen socotara soomalli baaleh.waligiinba riyo ayaad ku jirteen ee walaalahayag yamanid ah waxaa wax kabadan baa naga dhexeeyaaa ee xishooda.

[da5rebelz]

oh shut tha hell up we own it and its a fact homie, so live with it.

[faz2088]

thank you leila....tell it like it is...socotra belongs and will always belong to somalia...bullshit yourself for all i care but somalia will take socotra from yemen soon

[abkassim]

Dream on baby dream unite so asshole you forgot NFD,Ogaden & dijibouti to talk about socotra.Warya shame on you Xishood oo baddaa ka bax !!!!!!!!!

[faz2088]

lol seems like you forgot your history asshole...Djibouti is part of greater somalia just because it became independent don't mean shit, infact it was somalia that helped Djibout became independent...and ogaden is only a mater of time when it joins it's brothers along with socotra so if anything...it's best that you show some Xishood sxb.

[abkassim]

listen boy, the proximity of an island to the mainland doesnot necessarliy mean it belongs to the nearst country..falkland is thousands of miles away from britain and andaman is thousand miles away from india.

which country it belongs somaliland or puntland???

[faz2088]

another mistake..puntland is part of the somali republlic stop trying to make it look like a different country plus...so if it belongs to puntland it still belongs to somalia...the people of socotra are decendants of somalians thats why the island belongs to somalia not because of distance even though that should be a bonus to us... among other things...you need to no the history before you make a fool of yourself mate

[abkassim]

you & laila I thnik are fucking walaweyn you sold south somalia to ethiopians go and fight to liberate mogadishu and stop embarassing us.

[faz2088]

by just looking at your statemenets it seems that your the one capabl eof doing that...since your the one who's already aggresing to the fact that an island that belongs to him, belongs to yemen..me on the other hand.. am a better patriotic person then you'll ever be so go ahead and dream and stop swearing, act like an adult and not a child

[amsb555]

@faz2088 cut the bullshit

[theHustla00]

@amsb555 SHUTUP.

[waladashaib]

@faz2088

in your bad dream

socotra is yemeni in history ,in past ,now and in the future socotra yemeni island

respect  yemen . yemen is the second country for Somalis

[justAhater]

I'm sorry but u seem 2 hav it wrong, Socotra was given 2 the sultan of Moca by the British after the British colony collapsed. The land (flora/fauna) are almost identical to Somalia and is called the extension of the Horn of Africa. These r ur beliefs it was always Somali territory before the British came. FYI its less than 200 miles from Somalia and 500miles from Yemen. Logic = belongs 2 Somalis.

[da5rebelz]

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, who does it belong to in the books, yea to yemen , and it ain't changin so just save your stinkin breath.

[ViceroyoftheCorner]

@justAhater actually hav u read that the flora and fauna is unique to socotra yet the landscape it coastal plain surrounding jagged mountains. Exactly like yemen!!!

[justAhater]

@ViceroyoftheCorner Of course every Island nation has unique flora and fauna. However, Socotra island has more in common with the horn of Africa's flora = known fact due to the proximity to Africa. Having said that though the people of Socotra have more of a link with the Arabian peninsula = known fact. So lets speak facts not fiction its 1 all =D "landscape it coastal plain surrounding jagged mountains. Exactly like yemen!!!" @ViceroyoftheCorner North Somalia is exactly the same my friend =p

[ViceroyoftheCorner]

@justAhater I understand that the Horn of Africa's flora is in common with Socotra's flora, but so is Yemen because the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula were connected millions of years ago. So either way that argument is not getting anywhere. Now we hav to reference the population. They are an Arab, Somali, and Indian mix, however the J1 Arab Semetic gene is more dominant amongs it population. Also, the Sabaean Kingdom in Yemen used to supply itself with dragons blood from Socotra

[justAhater]

@ViceroyoftheCorner Wrong again flora = plant and botanical species (minus unique island flora - which occurs in every island) is closer in resemblance to East Africa in comparison to the Western Asian region. I really don't care anymore I'm sure Socotra's people would rather be neither Somali or Yemeni if they had a choice and a voice. Both countries are a mess anyway! Hell I should join them to get away from this argument Island life is for me =) peace !

[ViceroyoftheCorner]

@justAhater Screw both of them. America kicks ass!

[abunas2008]

I just need to clarify some facts, Socotra does not belong to Yemen it is a Somali territory that soon shall be given back to its rightful owners, SOMALIA!

[yemenfelix]

as a matter of fact somalia itself (according to recent research) was a part of kingdom of sheba whose capital was Marib in yemen; that's why we are supporting the transitional government in OUR somalia; your passports will be issued from Yemen in the near future

[samasanaa]

Cindy I want to thank u for this report about Socotra. Its really beautiful island. Especially for surfing

[jnadavidson]

Socotra is amazing well worth the trip and the people are some of the most generous and hospitable people I have ever met, you would not have been bored, SW monsoon is pretty intense though

[kiqzz]

i've benn to the arabian gulf once..was dangerous..windy but wroth the trip..was dreaming to go to socotra but i found no partner and thought it'd be boring alone..

thanx 4 the video dude
