Join me (and a dozen of my security guards) on a journey to Somalia, one of the most dangerous countries in the world! We'll visit the historic region of Puntland and see the Mogadishu fish market – perhaps the worst fish market I’ve been to yet. Learn about the power struggles between clans, how Ethiopia ruined Somalia-USSR relations, and how foreign debt impacts the local economy. And of course, no video about Somalia can go without pirates! We’ll even interview one, to find out what life really is like for them. Will Somalia transform into a thriving tourist destination one day? Check out in my new video!
