テロ組織に支配された国の中に取り残された島へ行ってきました

I’m about to enter Socotra,
a tropical island off the coast of Yemen, one of the most dangerous
countries on Earth. As the mainland is plagued
by ongoing civil war, this quiet island has landscapes
that look like another planet. Socotra is home to alien trees. They look like brains! Empty beaches with no hotels. Look at these views! And a man who’s lived his entire
life in a cave above the sea. For breakfast.
Good for the body. But this paradise comes
with serious risks. There are no ATMs, one measly hospital,
and only two flights a week. Just entered another world. If something goes wrong, you’re stuck. So is Socotra as sketchy as it sounds? Or is it actually the Middle
East’s best kept secret? I’m about to spend the next 100
hours on the island to find out. You can see the town here behind me. It’s mostly just dilapidated,
unfinished buildings, trash everywhere. And some goats. There’s like one hotel here. Military guys passing. We are in Yemen, after all.
So there are military everywhere. All right, I’m with Khalifa now. We’re walking around Hadibo.
How do you say it? Hadibo. Hadibo. This road is the main street. They call it 20 Street. Do you know all the people here?
Like, have this. Most of the people I do. Most of the people. If I didn’t know the name,
I recognize the face. All the faces, you know?
Really? Yup! There are goats everywhere! What is the significance
of the goat for… Socotri people? So the goats is the main
business for the Socotri people, especially the Bedouin people. The one thing that bothers
me about Hadibo is the trash. There’s trash everywhere. This is the main problem serious. It’s really, like, embarrassing for me.
It’s just. You feel embarrassed? Yeah. It’s like a refrigerator graveyard. I’ve been, like, going around the island
and it’s so beautiful. As soon as we arrive here,
it’s like rubbish. We have for collection companies, but they didn’t pay for
the workers that’s why. This is my favorite part about Yemen is the flaky bread. Freshly made!
Oh, my God! Look at this.
It’s like, you just hear that crunch. So this is a Yemeni restaurant, and the workers are Yemeni they
came from North Yemen to Socotra as worker.
They open a business here. Thank you. Bye bye.
Everybody here is so friendly.
Like, it’s deeply rooted in Yemeni
culture that you guys are hospitable and welcoming. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Wow! We’re taking a some
kind of local transport. I don’t know what’s going on.
Yeah! Allah! It’s a good life out here, man.
It’s easy. Any car that drives by, you just say,
“Hey, give me a ride.” And they’re like, “Okay,
sure!” I’m not in a hurry to go anywhere. It’s a bit, like,
surprising, you know what I mean, to see a foreign guy in the pickup now we. I’ve noticed everybody looking at me, like locking eyes. Yeah
Because, man, like we normally have, like,
the tourist Land Cruiser, which is a bit luxury, you know? It’s not like, it’s rare things to see. I, I prefer this, man. We are now entering the fish
market which seems to be the most bustling place in town. And because Socotra is so… blessed with amazing ocean,
there’s fish everywhere. It’s really cheap! And this is where they sell it. It’s so loud in here because they’re
banging the fish on the table. Completely wild experience
up here at the fish market. I like how they just lay all
the fish flat on the table. Table is not very clean, I might add. It’s like that and like that. That is a Socotri greeting. They touch the nose.
It’s so interesting. It’s like you’re leaning in for a kiss. Entered a little back room here
where the men are playing a game. So cool.
Sorry, sorry, sorry. That didn’t end well. It always takes one guy that’s upset. This is so cool. We found a little alley here of
a bunch of dudes just chilling. They just came here, they drink tea with the local breads here
and they chat together. This is like a little donut they serve. They call it a Bakhmri. Bakhmri it’s a really famous meal which is in the early
morning before the breakfast. So cool. We’re just hanging out in an
alleyway with all the Socotri men. What is it like to live here in Socotra? I’m really proud to be Socotri
and our culture is really rich. I just want to show the world that
Socotri people are really generous. Because mainland Yemen,
there’s some political issues. Are you ever worried that will affect this island? The war in Yemen affect the island. And we are Yemeni in reality,
so it’s really bad. It’s our country, so if it’s war there,
it’s gonna be war here in our heart. While Socotra is calm and peaceful, the situation on the
mainland is very different. For more than a decade, Yemen has been engulfed in a brutal
civil war between UAE and Saudi-backed government forces and the
Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. It’s led to one of the worst humanitarian
crises in history with more than half of the population lacking
basic resources like food, water and electricity. I saw it firsthand in 2019 when
I spent nine days road tripping across mainland Yemen. Between all the tense checkpoints,
collapsing buildings, and young kids carrying lethal weapons, I’ve never felt more
unsafe in my entire life. For the last hour, we have been driving
through Al Qaeda territory. It’s really scary.
But here on Socotra, the vibe is so chill. It’s hard to believe
it’s the same country. Given the current situation of… mainland Yemen, would you go there now? This guy showed that
Yemen is completely safe. Yemen is welcoming to everyone. That’s why they’re laughing? Yeah, they were, they were laughing. Because they know it’s not true? They say, “Man, what the are you talking about?” Thank you. Bye bye.
Thank you. Socotra might be part
of a troubled country, but there’s still a lot of
beauty to be found here. So I’m heading out of the main
city to see the dragon blood trees, a strange and rare species
that only grows on this island. But getting there isn’t easy. The off-roading here is real! Damn.
So, Lee and I have both been to
every country in the world, and we were just saying this… These could be the worst
roads we’ve ever been on. True story.
It’s pretty bad. Yeah,
you get to drive about two miles an hour. It’s crazy. I’ve also recently decided to break Lee’s
record to be the youngest human to… visit every country and both
the North and South Pole. You finished at what age? Uh.
37. I’m 33,
and I just need to visit the North Pole, which…
is much easier than the South Pole. So take that one.
Hey, buddy. How much is it?
Thousand? Here you go, bud. Thank you!
Thank you! I don’t even know what I just bought. Frankincense. Frankincense tree? What do you do with it? Yes. It’s like an. Chewing it. You can chew it? Yes. You want some?
Show me how to do it. You just chew it. Oh, it smells bad. No. it. You sure? Do it. It’s like chewing gum wax. Tastes like black pepper.
I’ve eaten all kinds of strange things on the road,
and while I love the adventure of it, to be honest,
it’s kind of taken a toll on my body. When you’re traveling
most days in the year, you don’t always get
to choose what you eat. Hotel breakfast, airplane food, street snacks that may or may
not wreck your stomach later. And then there are days that I realize
I haven’t eaten a single vegetable. That’s why I started using AG1
and it’s genuinely the best travel habit that I’ve built. I absolutely love this product. It’s so easy to travel with. AG1 is a daily health drink
that combines your multivitamin, pre and probiotics, superfoods and antioxidants
into one simple scoop. Just mix it every morning with water,
which tastes way better than tree resin. And with over 75 vitamins and minerals, it’s clinically shown
to fill nutrient gaps. That is delicious! The probiotics support my gut health so
no matter what kind of weird stuff I eat, I’m covered.
And the best part, it comes in these little travel packs so
I can just throw a handful in my backpack. And whether I’m in Socotra or
anywhere else in the world, I’ve got it on hand.
Right now, if you head to drinkAG1.com/drewbinsky
you can claim your free welcome kit. You’ll get a bottle of vitamin D3K2, a shaker bottle and a sample
pack of the AG1 flavors to try. Honestly, if you are a traveler out there
and you care about your health, then this is a game changer. Huge thanks to AG1 for
sponsoring this video. And now let’s get back to Socotra. You got some nice trees here, Khalifa. A dragon blood tree is the
sign of Socotra Island. And local people are really,
really proud of the dragon blood tree because this is the only tree you cannot find in all over the world. This tree is kind of the
oldest tree here in mo in Diksam Plateau, which is they could
close to thousand years. If you planted the baby
of the dragon blood tree, if you planted the seeds,
it’s going to be like this after 40 years. For the trunk, you see many holes. So it has a red resin. They use it as a medical. Like if you have a wound, they put the resin on
the wound so they will stop the blooding and
they close the wound. Walking around this island,
it feels like you’re on another planet. Just no people, cool ass trees,
beautiful nature, desert, canyons, mountains. Now I understand the appeal of Socotra. Absolutely insane! They look like brains! So are you born and raised in Socotra? Yeah, I’m a native. Before COVID, almost nobody in the outside world heard about Socotra. Then through… Instagram and TikTok it
became really popular. Is it a good thing that all these
western tourists are coming here? It’s really good things, man. Our island, they benefit from the tourism. The local people,
even Yemeni people who live in Yemen, they’re really proud of us. Like for example,
when I travel to Yemen and they told me, “Where are you from?” I said,
“I’m from Socotra.” “Socotra! We are really proud of you, man.” Is there anything negative happening
with all these tourists coming? To the local people or to the economy? No, really until now but, I’ve been working as a
guide for three years. And from people, to be honest,
they’re really respectful. What’s the language like here?
Is it same as Arabic? As a native Socotri language,
which is completely different. So the most,
like important word in Socotri, if you say it, local people, they feel…
really welcoming. Which is… Which is like really good. You will say it for the
view if it’s so beautiful, you said.
For the food, if it’s tasty, you said as well. Got it!
Hey, guys. How are you?
All the village kids came out to say,”Hi”. Where do you guys live? They are living in the village over there! Over there? They are Bedouin kids. They said, “Oh,
nice to see you, Khalifa.” Like, “How are you doing? How’s your family?” It’s really rare to find the kids in Hadibo talking like that. What is Socotri like, when I think of Yemeni people,
it’s not Socotri. What’s the difference? Not Socotri.
Bro, Socotri people, we have own language, we have own culture, we have own traditional things. Are most people really
poor on this island? I’m not going to say poor.
Most people are…
Millionaire here. You’re not going to believe me. And if you just check the bank account is zero. You say that I’m joking,
but each person has… like, more than, like, 100 meters of land. They live here in a
basic life in a symbol, and they just keep their land to their new generations. Amazing, man. Camping out here in Socotra,
nobody around, perfect weather. This is about as epic as
travel can possibly get. And, uh,
watching Lee figure out his tent is. When’s the last time you slept in a tent? Antarctica… 11 years ago. Really?! Yeah! How’s it looking?
Yeah, it’s actually looks pretty cozy. Not terrible. I’m, I’m. You’re a rather larger human. I’m definitely going to be
too tall for that thing, by the way. It is only 7:00 p.m. but I’m exhausted! Gonna get some rest, be ready for a… full day of exploration tomorrow.
Got to admit, these accommodations are
actually pretty nice. It’s not huge I’m standing up here. My little bed, blanket, backpack, that’s all she wrote! Good night.
Hey, Lee. What do you realize about this…
car? Uh.
There’s a dude sleeping there. Good morning, bro.
How we doing? Good morning man. Sleep good? Yeah.
What about you, man? Amazing to wake up and see these trees. Like, — you can’t even explain it. So now we are going to the village… to Al Maroh tribe,
one of the strongest tribe who own this land. How many people live here? So people that live in the… in this village, it’s around 20 families. So that house is the Sheikh house. If you are Sheikh,
which means you are the boss of the tribe. Every guest… they pass from your village,
it’s necessary to invite him to having tea.
So that is the Sheikh. You have to shake no. No, no you have nose by nose. Just do it. The bouncy nose. Hello. Hello! Take off the cap, man. Thank you! Thank you. It feel like, Lee, like, reached in. That was one of the funniest
things I’ve ever seen in my life! So this is the guest room and we’re gonna show you around.
Just… come on guys, go on. This is like the hangout spot? Yeah, this is the guest room and it’s necessary
if you enter to drink tea with him. What does the…
dragon blood trees mean to you? He was saying that… ” first of all, the dragon blood tree,
which is a part of my family. And I was really, Khalifa,
you cannot believe me. I was really scared when the storm come in 2015,
a lot of trees… was broken down. I’m like losing son after son.” You’re really welcome. And he was repeated, “Welcome, welcome.” And, “You are my guest.”
So it’s my honor and pleasure to meet you guys. Following the Sheikh around his garden, he’s got some old dragon blood trees that are 30 years old and they’re up to my knees. So long it takes to grow. So what do you think about all
the big trees out in the field? They’re like several hundred years old. These are smaller dragon blood trees.
They’re tiny, just being planted. This is the seeds of
the dragon blood tree. And there is another things. If the goats is eat it all,
they’re gonna die. It’s kind of poisonous. So actually we have a frankincense tree,
which is like a tree that gives… the incense resin. So in all over the world there are
25 species of frankincense tree. On Socotra there are seven species which is endemic here
it’s only exists here. One thing that makes Socotra so beautiful
is its rare plant and animal life. Just look at these vultures. They only exist here. After a warm send off from the Sheikh, we are heading west towards the island’s
second largest town of Qalansiyah. This is what it looks like
to get gas in Socotra. Just a little fuel station. You guys don’t have credit cards here? No, man. None? Really?
Cash only. What?! I feel like I’m in the 1970s
looking at how this works. That’s it? Yep. Fast.
Thank you! It’s funny, when you honk the car,
you have to punch the sheik in the face. How come…
when I come here, I see… an Emirates flag and a Saudi flag? Socotra, first of all,
belongs to South Yemen and… the UAE that is supporting South Yemen.
We have… around 70% of Socotri people, they live in the UAE. And people here, do they care?
Do they feel like, “No, we don’t like these flags,”
or they just live normal life? They don’t? No, really, they just live. We don’t have any kind of, like,
racist or something like that. People,
they’re just welcoming for everyone, and it’s up to you. See, guys, there is a hospital and kind of
like small clinic actually. Here if you’re sick,
there’s only one doctor. Just only one doctor there. He’s just checking your issues and he
just write the medicine for you and he will send you to Hadibo that’s it. Simple life! Yeah. We are now in the second largest city,
I should say town, because it’s not really a city. And it’s called. Yeah.
Qalansiyah. See, it’s around 8,000 people live here. People that live here,
are they different than, uh, Hadibo people? People who live here, most of them are fishermen and
they are Socotri in reality, but they have different accents. If you go to mainland
Yemen and speak Socotri, they don’t understand. Come on, man.
They think you’re from… like, somewhere else,
from Somalia or Africa, or they think they’re
speaking English to them. It feels like this town is, like,
empty, abandoned. There’s like very few people here. Oh, how are you? Nice to meet you .
What’s your name? Olah.
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
My name is Drew. So how difficult is it to get, like,
supplies? It has to come on a boat
from mainland Yemen, right?
Like, what if you want to buy an iPhone? Nice to meet you. So actually your orders in Yemen,
so you talk with your friends or your relative, they live in Yemen, and they just bring you to the
by any passenger that they came on Sunday by flight from Yemen. And everybody here has… like phone signal, right?
And Wi-Fi? Yeah, yeah, sure. Well, not always Wi-Fi. So actually the Wi-Fi, not really, but they have like the cell phone and
they just use the Yemeni SIM card. So this is what a shop
looks like here in Socotra. It’s pretty small, but they have a lot of
things that you would need, all from mainland Yemen. So let’s…
see we’re gonna buy this one. Dates. Yep. Yeah, let’s do it.
Dates? 1,000. We’ll say in Arabic. Mmm! That’s good, bro. Anytime you’re in an Arab country, you always can find good dates. Now, there’s nobody around here.
It’s empty. Most of them, they’re taking a nap,
and the others, they’re chewing Khat
in some of the corners. So if you’re chewing khat with
someone you know for the first time, you’re gonna be the, the closest friends. Basically, it’s a stimulant drug that grows
naturally in the ground in… in Yemen and Somalia
and the Horn of Africa. And it just makes you have energy. It’s like drinking five cups of coffee. Well, last time I was in Yemen,
everybody was chewing khat, like on the street.
That’s a lot, man. That’s an addiction. Makes you to feel…
good in a mood. And you want to work and
you want to do everything. In the night time you can sleep normal. All right, let’s try it! Tastes like I’m eating a tree. Like if you’re chewing khat,
because we are in a small communities. And like most people,
they know each other. If you chew on khat,
you’re not gonna get married. It’s really hard. So most people, they make it,
they’re hiding it. Like they’re chewing khat far away from their place
or something like that. No more khat. Everyone in this store
behind me is chewing khat. Damn! Here is like the khat, they bring it a bit secretly. They bring it by ship from Yemen. The police know this? Actually the police, they know this. And they’re chewing khat as well. But if they found, like this,
the khats, they’re gonna burn it. Burn it? Yep. This is what volleyball
looks like in Socotra. Pretty awesome, man!
Bye bye. Bye bye. Hi! What is your name? What is your name? My name is Drew.
What’s your name? Aiwa. Aiwa. They’re so cute! She said… Bye bye. One thing I know about Yemeni
people is they’re suuper nice and friendly and hospitable.
Most friendliest people in the world, I think. And did you know? so welcoming. Did you know that Americans and
many people in the western world are so scared of Yemen? They are, and…
So actually, we heard that a lot of news
about Yemen and people, they’re just afraid. And there’s a kid that bring
us the dates that we forget, brother. Oh, thank you! Yes.
You cannot attack, like, the people if the country is not safe. So the people are not like that. So people are so welcoming. And Yemeni people are really, really kind. And you see by your eyes here, bro. On this island, is there any crime? It’s really, really rare here on the island. It’s completely safe. In a peace island. You leave your shoes
and you came tomorrow, you found it there. Yeah. What if I leave my computer out, though? You leave it, bro. You leave it.
And I believe that someone will take it. And they put it at the
mosque and they said if someone just trying to just
trying to find his computer, he will say that he’s in the mosque. Straight over the water is mainland Yemen! And on that side it’s Mogadishu, Somalia, two of the world’s most
dangerous countries! But here is a safe haven! This is as good as it gets, guys. And this is where we’re having lunch! Turns out walking up sand dunes is way harder than it looks. But these views, though! The only other places
in the world I’ve seen sand dunes intersect with ocean is near Chabahar, Iran,
near the border of Pakistan, and in Namibia, near Swakopmund. It’s so beautiful!
Look at this! It just goes on forever! And down goes Lee.
Please don’t die! I’m off! Socotra, baby! This island lives up to all
the hype let me tell you. The fact that you can just
sprint down the sand dune, I feel like you’re literally flying! It’s one of those moments, man,
where you just appreciate life. Just gotta appreciate everything. Just came up to the top of
the mountain here for sunset. You can see the whole bay with the mountain. Look at that water. Got dunes over here. The town right there.
Man, this is about as good as it gets. You can see. The whole operation in the kitchen. What do we got here, bro? Crab, vegetables, sauce.
We have octopus there. Damn, bro. And spaghetti there and
the typical bread here. This is our little tent for the night right here, out on the beach.
Pretty epic. Going to sleep to the sound of the waves and the vibration of the wind.
By morning, I’ve got one mission: to meet the man
who spent his entire life in a cave. He’s become a local legend on the island. Completely isolated,
with no electricity or running water. Our guide knows exactly where to find him. So we set off along the
coast to track him down. Early, bro. Yeah, it’s really early it’s
around 5:00 o’clock now. Wow. This hike is so cool.
Small… blue light coming in. Water is like green. Pretty amazing, man. Yeah. The nature is beautiful. It’s calm.
And no one is here. No, noise. There he is.
How are you? Got some whale bones at the entrance here. He’s breaking wood. Hey, hey! This is your home? Yeah.
You’re welcome. Yeah, this is, uh, my home. Yeah. I sleep here. Uh.
Tourists giving me this. This. Light. Yeah.
And one, uh… person give me light for when we want to…
dine tonight.
Yeah. It’s for, uh, for the charge.
This. Solar panel. Yeah… Wow! This, uh, a orca. Orca bones and his teeth, uh,
I think my necklace. You found the orca here? And the…
beach. And the long time, uh, when we… baby are lying here. But, uh, one small, uh…
Cave there. Is it big? Let me show you. Woow. Because I remember when my baby,
maybe 50 years ago, this rock closed here. Maybe some people in
long time live inside. Listen. Because they find inside some, uh,
thing inside. Oh, the cave goes on forever. If you go really close down there, it opens up.
It’s really hot in here. Imagine just living in
this place all to yourself. The moment you come down from the cave,
you look in front of you, you see the most insane view. This man bring this.
He bring this from… cave. Ooh, that’s what you got? Yeah. Really?
You find that? Yeah.
Inside. You find this inside because it’s very old. So people lived there before? Broken.
I think, yeah. How many years ago? I think, uh, maybe 200, 300 years. My grandfather, grandmother,
after my father, my mother lived here and now me. Other cave there, uh, my uncle cave uh, before.
And now everybody like, uh, village. The only food you get is the sea? Fifty years ago, I remember people ate, uh,
from sea everything ate fish. Uh.
The dates, popcorn from, uh, Swahili bring. My father, he bring here, popcorn. Yeah. Thank you! You’re welcome. Is life happy here? Here I’m very happy. When we go to a village, Not too much happening. You don’t like the village? What happens when there’s a big storm in here?
It’s safe? Yeah!
I bring my family here. Yeah.
2015. Yeah. Two cyclone in Socotra, very strong. Cyclone?
What happened? Uh.
Many people die and, uh, and shop. And someone place there is a many shop
I bring my family all here. Before 2007, you don’t speak English and you just live here by yourself? Yeah.
No. And now people come to
Socotra only to meet you. You are the main attraction. You and the dragon blood trees. How does that make you feel? I am very happy because the… everybody like me and me like everyone. Everyone. So tourism has made your life better? Yeah! Good!
Some people argue that tourism ruins the culture or like, makes places bad.
But I actually think the opposite. Tourist is very, um, good for, uh me also for uh…
many people. I can’t believe you’re 61, man. You look younger than I do. I’m 33. Yeah.
Because I’m… always, I’m happy. Always., every day, I am very, very well. But you never get sick? Nothing.
Not too much. Sometimes I have problem here, I drink aloe vera.
And this also. Like this, when you, you have problem in the stomach, eat this. And also, if you have…
like, here… Runny nose. Yeah. Yeah.
This like this. Inside you have, look. Really? Some…
10 minutes, and it’s very well. Amazing! I’ve never heard of a plant that
you could eat and snort and it cures your sicknesses. Hey, hey, hey, hey! They understand? Oh, yeah. You speak to your goats? Yeah!
I call it for, uh, I don’t know where he go, now, he’s here.
Hey! Hey!
Hey! All right, Mr. Caveman is now taking
me down to the water because he’s, uh, picking up his fish.
So it’s gonna be pretty cool to witness this. We made it down to the shore,
and homie just took off on a raft. Abdullah just came back with
fish on top of his little raft. So Abdullah went out there for like,
20 minutes, went to his fish net, and he came back with these incredibly fresh fish
that are still breathing. For breakfast. Good? Yeah! This is so cool.
He just brought back fish. Now he’s just cooking it and eating it. As they say, give a man a fish,
he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish,
he eats for a lifetime. Witnessing Socotra’s caveman catch
fish has got to be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. This is how he’s lived
for nearly 50 years. Completely off the grid,
surviving on what the ocean gives him. But thanks to social media,
more tourists like myself discovered him, and he began earning money just
by sharing his way of life. Now he sleeps in a small
home in town with his family. Which is a powerful reminder
that when done right, tourism can help local communities grow without losing their identity. I honestly didn’t know what to
expect before visiting Socotra, but after spending 100 hours here,
I finally get what the buzz is about. There’s something magical
about this island. The silence, the simplicity, the way people live with
so little but give so much. It reminds me why I started
traveling in the first place. To connect with places
that still feel real. Socotra may be changing fast as
tourism explodes and more flights are coming in every week. But if there’s one thing I hope, it’s that people here stay
at the center of that.

  1. عليك اللعنة الجنوب العربي مش ارهاب هذول أصحاب الجزيرة الأصليين قبل الاحتلال اليمني

  2. Calling Socotra the "World's Most Dangerous Island" is factually incorrect and disrespectful to the locals. Even in your own video at 21:00, the guide confirms it is completely safe. You are conflating the peaceful island of Socotra with the political situation in mainland Yemen—two very different realities. The island has been peaceful for over 60 years. Showing shots of garbage and calling it dangerous is just propaganda to fit a dramatic narrative. Statistically, the streets of many Western countries are far more dangerous than Socotra.

  3. مقدمه سيئه ، لسنا جماعات ارهابيه ، وليست اليمن بهذا الوصف الي انت جالس توصفه بشكل غلط ، الرجاء منك أخذ المعلومات الصحيحه وليس الخاطئه

  4. You're exaggerating a lot in your statements and explanations to your followers. Is this what all content creators do, lying a lot to get more views? Yemen is not a haven for terrorism and is safe for all visitors. Everyone is welcome.

  5. Bonjour, l'île est très belle mais je ne vois pas l'intérêt d'y aller alors que la moitié de la population n'a pas le droit de communiquer (les femmes) ?

  6. If you’re ever in Minnesota….you have a host. We have a few places and won’t bug you a bit. But appreciate what you do. And there’s stuff happening here 👀

  7. For 40 years, this country has been deliberately impoverished by its neighbors despite its vast and immense wealth. When will this country be allowed to rise again?

  8. Bro the flag was 🇮🇶 Iraq . The Island is totally save from war. We just have a civil war

  9. We are not terrorists, we are defending our land from the Saudi and American occupation.

  10. الإرهاب الحقيقي هو امريكا وإسرائيل وغلب الدول الاوروبيه
