Visiting Somaliland!

After years of making videos about Somaliland, I finally visited in person for the 18th May national holiday celebrations!

Many thanks to the Somaliland Mission to the UK and the Somaliland Foreign Ministry for making this video possible. Please note: no one other than me had any editorial control over the contents of this video.
