  The best way to start the new year is discussions on Arab Nationalism

  Dude who manages to build a coalition spanning from the military to the Brotherhood to the Communists deserves more than a footnote in History. Great vid as always, and a happy new year 😊

  &quot;We dont have problems with Russians, Russia never attacked us...&quot; A statement and sentiment that is largely ignored/unknown on why some countries during the Cold War sided (or wanted regular normal relations) with the Soviets while not being exactly aligned with them ideologically

  Nasser started the first ever Swahili radio station advocating for independence in eastern African nations. He supported the Algerian freedom fighters against France.<br>What a man

  Not to mention that Pan-Arabism overthrew monarchs in Libya, Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, and Tunisia. Many regional monarchies were not so fond of Pan-Arabism.

  Nasser&apos;s pan-Arab vision might have worked if a federal state had been created because each state could keep their autonomy, while remaining united.

  Arabs of today, how do you feel about Pan-Arabism? Would you or your fellow countrymen wherever you are feel interested in a United Arab State...? How would it look like? Greetings from Mexico!<br>Edit: could you like the comment so more people can see the comment and are able to voice their opinion and read what you have to say? Thanks!!!

  Amazing content as always. I believe you&apos;ll talk about the division off Yemen into a communist and a anti-communist state, South and North Yemen, right?

  Gamal Abdel Nasser was loved by the poor and honorable, and he hated traitors and those who preferred their interests to the interests of the nation

  Nasser widely supported Somalia in all fields. He helped <br>the Somalis to get their independence, he supported <br>Somali nationalism, and he supported Somalia in its <br>borders problem with Ethiopia. Culturally, he sent many <br>scientific missions to Somalia to teach the Somalis the <br>Arabic language, and to prepare them for rule after their <br>independence. He sent them experts in all fields to help <br>them in understanding culture. In the military field, he <br>helped them a great deal, giving them weapons for free <br>as a gift from Egypt to Somalia, training Somali students <br>in Egyptian military colleges, and sending Egyptian <br>officers to Somalia to train the Somali officers. <br>Economically, he supported the Somali economy, he <br>bought his required products, sheep, bananas and <br>incense from there, and he stood beside the Somalis in <br>their economic crisis. He also gave a loan to the Somalis <br>to help their economy. All that has been mentioned made <br>Nasser their hero, so they cried at his death; sad to lose <br>a hero who deserved that place by his works. <br>Source: Egyptian University, which also, in this academic study, acknowledges the Land of Punt was in the long diverse coastline of Somalia, and that Somalia has been an ally of Egypt for 5000 years since the days of ancient Egypt and their commercial military cultural religious alliance with the proto-Somali Land of Punt
