With no state, no public amenities, no bank system, a scarce army, an under-equipped police force, and almost daily attacks, the majority of Somalia is completely out of government control. Despite the presence of an international African army, AMISOM, the country lives under the rule of armed Islamists who take orders from Al Qaeda.

Every year, the international community spends billions on aid, and yet the country is weaker than ever. Rather than benefiting citizens, the majority of international aid money is tied up in astronomical security costs, or is embezzled by a corrupt political class. It is estimated that less than 20% of aid money actually reaches its intended recipients.

With unprecedented access, our team was able to spend 16 days filming in the capital, Mogadishu, and its surrounding areas. This film attempts to understand how this country, under control of one of the strongest Islamist groups in the world, remains in chaos.

0:00 Somalia, one of the most dangerous countries in the world, is plagued by terrorism and violence, with the city of Mogadishu under constant attack.
7:32 The video highlights the difficult living conditions in Somalia and the desperation of its young population to leave the country for a better life in Europe.
16:19 Somali leaders work to rebuild their country and regain the trust of the people.
24:34 The video discusses the challenges faced by the mayor of Mogadishu, Somalia in dealing with terrorism and the efforts to maintain security in the city.
30:53 A rare look inside the most dangerous prison in Africa housing Al-Shabaab terrorists and dangerous criminals in Somalia.
42:38 International aid funding for Somalia is being misused and does not reach the people in need.
49:24 The video highlights the dire healthcare situation in Somalia, where a lack of resources and widespread corruption contribute to high mortality rates.

For several months, from the Seychelles Islands to the Somali coast, Olivier Joulie went to meet fishing bosses, soldiers and even pirates... His very detailed investigation betrays the disarray that reigns in a region where fish catches are multiplying hostages.

Covering two million square kilometers, from the Indian Ocean to the Gulf of Aden, the area has become one of all dangers. In 2009, more than two hundred ships were victims of acts of piracy there. Giant oil tankers, cruise ships or fishing boats, no building is safe. In Port Victoria, the crews of Spanish tuna boats do not hide their concern. Barring a miracle, they will have to rely only on themselves to repel the pirate attacks. This is no longer the case for their French colleagues. The owners of the nine fishing boats engaged in the region ended up putting their hands in their pockets. For an amount estimated at 2.5 million euros, they now ensure the presence on board of around sixty marines.

Men ready for anything
In order to secure the region, Europe set up Operation Atalanta in 2008. A device engaging frigates and patrol aircraft. Protection considered, by many, insufficient. Especially since, entering Somalia, and particularly in Puntland, Olivier Joulie realizes that the lure of profit is pushing more and more Somalis towards delinquency. They sometimes obtain millions of euros to free the ships they have taken control of. The causes of the explosion of this maritime crime are crystal clear for Sayid Aden Cade, the mayor of the village of Hobyo: "Intensive fishing by large foreign boats destroys wildlife. They draw on our natural resources and the fish are gradually disappearing . Our fishermen, with their simple nets, do not have the means to fight and they are becoming more and more poor..." No reason in sight for the pirates to soon put away their skiffs and their Kalashnikovs...

Similar to the situation in other Muslim-majority countries, I'm finding Somalia (Mogadishu) to be a male-dominant society -- but that doesn't mean there aren't incredible women doing big things behind the spotlight!

So, I wanted to focus this video on the talented Somali women in Mogadishu who aren't getting as much recognition as they deserve.

Through Instagram, I got connected with Yasmin and Maryam -- two young women who represent a new generation of female entrepreneurs and social media stars in Somalia. Here is their full story!

Somalia has one of the highest rates of violent deaths in the world, and it's a name associated only with hardship—conflict, famine, chaos. But the media does not show you the artists, the innovators, the younger population pulling together amidst it all. The real Somalia is more than you think, and its spirit is anything but broken.

Video #304 - Let me know your thoughts in the comments section 🙈

Appreciate your support!

In late October, the landlocked African nation of Burkina Faso saw the end of its president’s 27-year-long reign. A popular revolution terminated Blaise Compaoré’s term after he tried to change the constitution so that he could run for a fifth consecutive term.

Cornered by an angry mob in his presidential palace, "Beau Blaise" fled the country along with his entourage as protesters torched the National Assembly and other symbols of the old regime.

Now in exile, Compaoré is rumored to be living in luxury on the Ivory Coast. In Burkina Faso, a new transitional government has emerged, led by President Michel Kafando and his prime minister, Lieutenant-Colonel Yacouba Isaac Zida.

VICE News went to the streets of Burkina Faso’s capital of Ouagadougou in the midst of the revolution to document the final hours of Compaoré’s reign.

Two of Niger's neighbouring countries, Burkina Faso and Mali, have issued a joint statement saying they would regard any military intervention in Niger as a declaration of war on them.

On Sunday the regional organisation, Ecowas, threatened to use force to reinstate Niger's elected President Mohamed Bazoum, who was deposed in a coup on Wednesday.

In West Africa, Burkina Faso's leader, Paul-Henri Damiba, has been ousted in a military coup. Captain Ibrahim Traore has taken over as interim leader
The soldiers behind the coup say they have dissolved the government and suspended the constitution. That's according to a statement read by an army army captain on state television. Earlier, explosions and heavy gunfire were reported near the presidential palace in the capital Wagadugu. Damiba's military junta seized power just nine months ago.

It has been a year since Captain Ibrahim Traore became the leader of Burkina Faso following a military coup. Upon assuming power, Captain Traore had set a goal of enhancing security and reclaiming control of areas occupied by armed groups in the West African country.

Militant attacks have caused thousands of deaths while more than two million people have been displaced in Burkina Faso since 2015 when the violence spilled over from neighbouring Mali and Niger. Traore had promised to reverse the trend in a few months.

By the end of August 2023, the government announced the successful return of over 190,000 of those displaced to their original communities. But the security situation remains precarious.

Captain Traore himself has said ''we are at war'' referring to the violence. He suggested the insecurity could prevent the country from conducting elections scheduled for next year.

He told journalists on his one year anniversary that the elections were ''not a priority'' and that the was ensuring security to ensure candidates are able to travel across the country to campaign.

Although under the transitional plan he was not expected to contest in the election, he hinted at changing the constitution - which could allow him to stand in the elections.

This is coming amid deteriorating relations between Burkina Faso and its former colonial ruler, France with France. The West African country under Traore's junta expelled French troops in February 2023. The junta is strengthening ties with Russia, a major Western rival.

One major decision taken by Burkina Faso along with neighbouring Mali and Niger - both also led by military rulers - is the signing of a mutual defence pact known as the Alliance of Sahel States as anti-French sentiment grows across the region.

So how has Burkina Faso fared in Traore's first year as leader?

COULD YOU EVER TOUCH A LIVING CROCODILE?

When I arrived in Burkina Faso's capital of Ouagadougou yesterday, I was not planning to touch a living crocodile. But I did. And it was absolutely one of the scariest, most thrilling moments of my life.

Could you do ever it?

PS - No crocodiles were harmed in the making of this video. They are considered sacred to the villagers here who have been living side by side for centuries. The locals do not drug them. They do not feed them. These are simply crocs living in their natural habitat. Thanks for watching.
