Somaliland, a country that is yet to be recognized as an independent state from Somalia held its third presidential election on November 2017. A delegation along with the new president visited Ethiopia this week and spoke to Ethiopia’s Prime Minister and other government officials. Although Somaliland is a success story in many aspects, the country is challenged by a weak economy largely caused by Saudi Arabia’s ban on livestock export, which is one of the main driver’s of the country’s economy. Capital’s Eskedar Kifle spoke to Foreign Affairs Minister Dr. Saad Ali Shire about the new administration, the issues of recognition and Somaliland’s place in the horn of Africa. Capital: Tell us about the delegation’s visit, what were some of the discussion points with the local authorities? Dr. Saad Ali Shire: Now we have a new government; we had the third presidential election since 2003. There is a new president, a new cabinet has been appointed; I was reappointed to the same position as Minister of Foreign Affairs. The purpose of our visit is a courtesy call from the Prime Minister; Somaliland is a very close friend of Ethiopia and it has always been a custom when a new president is appointed, to visit the Prime Minister here in Ethiopia. We also want to strengthen the good relationship we have with Ethiopia. Capital: Can you tell us the specific points of discussion? Ali Shire: We have touched upon many subjects; security, the economy and some projects we are carrying out jointly like the Berbera Corridor and the DP World Port, trade agreements, these are all issues that are ongoing. So these are some of the topics we touched upon. The President was accompanied by four ministers; myself, the Minister of Education, Minister of Interior and the Minister of Trade. All of them met their counterparts here in Addis Ababa. Capital: Speaking of the projects you mentioned; Berbera corridor, what stage is it on now? Ali Shire: The corridor, which is basically the road from Berbera to Wuchale hopefully will start this year; the road is going to be mainly funded by the United Arab Emirates. Now we are looking for consultants to perform the design and technical work on the road. Once the consultants are chosen and agreed up on, then the work will start and hopefully the construction itself will begin this year. Capital: We haven’t seen anything negative about the Presidential election you held in November. How would you say the whole thing went? Ali Shire: I think everything went well. Somaliland is one of the most democratic and stable countries in Africa. We have a track record of holding free and fair elections; of course campaigning is always contentious but I think it all went well. On Election day, we had 1642 polling stations and the election took place in all of them except for three areas. There were no injuries, no clashes; nothing of the machete welding people you saw in the presidential election of Kenya. We had a big contingent of international observers and they have stated that by large it was free and fair. We had three contenders and eventually the two candidates that were not successful accepted the results and conceded. About 550,000 people went to the polling stations to vote. The Kulmiye Party received the largest share of the votes. Capital: Did more people come out to vote than the last election? Ali Shire: We believe there may have been fewer numbers is the previous election, there were issues with double voting previously. The system we used this time did not allow double voting so the figures we saw were actual figures. Capital: Whenever election season occurs in most African countries, there is always a preconceived notion that there will be violence, and that has been true many times. How did you manage to hold a peaceful election? Ali Shire: I think we used the first biometric election system in Africa which really prevented anyone from tampering with the process, it is very good technology. And we don’t have a culture of political violence; people have confidence in the system, the national electoral commission did a fantastic job. Of course there is always contention; people question the validity of results and that was okay because the electoral commission was open to complaints and there are procedures to follow and they were able to satisfy the complaints and questions. Capital: You have a new president now. What particular priorities has he set on the agenda? Ali Shire: Well first, it is the same political party that won and is continuing. So as far as the bigger picture is concerned, the agenda is more or less the same. But of course every president brings with him or her their own priorities and agenda and the top priority for this government is economic development and job creation. Of course security is always the number one priority; it was for the previous government and it is for this one. But I think in addition to security, this president is setting for himself the target of creating jobs for youth. Capital: One of the major challenges for Ethiopia is also creating employment for its large youth population. What does the unemployment rate among the youth look like in Somaliland? How are you addressing it? Ali Shire: The unemployment among the youth is estimated at 75 percent which is extremely high. People are unemployed for a number of reasons and one of it is skills; young people don’t have the skills to market themselves and to be employed. Investment is another issue because you must have somebody who is willing to invest in the country to be able to create jobs. The government’s resources are limited so it cannot create enough jobs. One of the difficulties we have as an unrecognized state is that it creates an additional uncertainty for investors. It is not easy to attract direct foreign investment into the country. Our target is to improve the environment, create an investment environment that is more attractive to investors whether they are foreign or local. Capital: Speaking of recognizing Somaliland as a state, have there been any new developments? Ali Shire: Somaliland is a country that is very well established. We have been on this road since 1991; it existed under the colonial era as a British protectorate, some people miss that bit. In the minds of a lot of people, Somalia is just one country and Somaliland is part of Somalia and wants to secede from the rest of Somalia. It is not like that, we were two independent states that united and we just left that union because it didn’t work for us and it didn’t work for them and it didn’t work for the region either because it caused a lot of trouble and tension in the region and economically it didn’t work for anyone. That is why we left and we believe it is in the best interest of everyone to go their own way just like Djibouti. Djibouti was also mainly a Somali speaking country and it is doing very well compared to us. I think the international community recognizes that Somaliland is a state that fulfills all the requirements for an independent. We hope the international community will come to its senses and gives Somaliland the recognition it deserves; we have a very good legal case, both historical and humanitarian case. It is a matter of convincing the rest of the world that it is not just in the interest of Somaliland but the region, Africa and the rest of the world. Capital: Everything seems to be in the right place for Somaliland to be recognized as an independent state. Then why do you think the international community hasn’t done that? Do they have an interest in not granting the recognition? Ali Shire: That is a question that needs to be put forward to the international community. Different people give different reasons even though I am not in agreement with those reasons. People might say that Somalia is a country in turmoil and the recognition of Somaliland may make it even more difficult to solve the Somalia problem. Which I don’t think is right because as an independent state we would be able to assist Somalia reconcile and rebuild as a state. So I think it will be beneficial to Somalia and not a disadvantage. Some people say well this may open a Pandora’s box in Africa, but according to the report provided by the AU Commission in 2005, Somaliland is a unique case, there is no other case like it in Africa so there is no reason to worry about a Pandora’s box being opened because it is a case of two states that have now parted their ways. Capital: Have you resumed official talks with the Somalian government? Ali Shire: Well we have been in talks with Somalia since 2012; those talks were suspended in 2015 then the idea was to wait for Somalia to elect a new president and they did so last year. The international community also wanted to wait until that election was completed. I hope we will be able to resume the talks even though sometimes it doesn’t give me a whole lot of hope that we will be able to make advances because they have gone back on a number of things we have agreed on together at the talks. I hope that this time the new president of Somalia will take the talks very seriously. Capital: How would you describe Somaliland’s relationship with countries such as Turkey, Egypt and the Gulf States? Ali Shire: We welcome friendships from all corners of the world and I don’t think there is any country that we have a bad relationship with. But of course, given where we are we have a close relationship with our neighbors. We are on good terms, we don’t have a special relationship with Turkey or Egypt; they are friendly countries as they are to Ethiopia. As far as we are concerned we are a peaceful state. Capital: Last year, your country was facing a difficult situation due to the drought. How are you managing that? Ali Shire: The drought last year was devastating it really decimated our livestock and it left a lot of people displaced at the present time all over the country and those people are still vulnerable and they need to be supported. We also had the ban for livestock export to Saudi Arabia, the ban was lifted for a few weeks during the Haji time but it was re-imposed again and that is causing a lot of hardship economically in the country. Capital: Why did Saudi Arabia ban livestock export? Ali Shire: According to the Saudi Ministry of Agriculture, they said they found two animals that were infected by a disease. But these two animals were not from Somaliland, they were from Somalia. Unfortunately, we were punished which we believe we don’t deserve; our livestock is healthy, we have quarantine facilities with international standards and we hope the ban will be lifted. Livestock is our main export so to lose that is a big blow to the economy. Capital: What about investment, have you seen any encouraging trend in that area? Ali Shire: Well the biggest one, the DP World Port project which we have discussed before. We do have few foreign investors in the country in the area of oil exploration, manufacturing, infrastructure and so on. But we need many more and the main problem is like I said the lack of recognition. I think once we have recognition that will open the door for more investment. We think we have a lot of opportunities for investors, whether it is investment in our maritime resources, agricultural resources , mining, industry or even in services, there are plenty of opportunities. Capital: You mentioned oil exploration, it is currently at the stage of exploration right now, do you think there is hope in finding it? Ali Shire: There has been oil exploration in Somaliland for since the 50s or maybe 40s. The geological structure of Somaliland is very similar to that of Yemen, and so I think the logic goes as if oil can be found in Yemen then it could be found here as well. So we are very hopeful that one day we will strike oil. Capital: You have previously mentioned that if Somaliland is recognized it will help alleviate regional security issues. Have you been facing security issues so far? Ali Shire: Security is a top priority for us as well as every country in the region. I think we have played a critical part in ensuring we have stability not only in Somaliland but also in the other countries around us; we do spend a lot of resources on this. I think we have been successful so far and we have been sharing intelligence with our neighbors and the international community. Our troops on the ground, day in and out take care of our country’s security. We believe we carry more than our fair share of the burden of ensuring security in this part of the world. Capital: How is the capability of your military? Ali Shire: The fact that we are a peaceful state says something about the capability. We don’t have a huge army, but we have enough to ensure security. May I also add that security is not only dependent on the size and capacity of the army but also in our community. It is really the community that looks after it. If they find or see anything suspicious, they immediately report it to the police. Capital: Let’s talk about the state of democracy, specifically to the freedom of expression and free media. There have been reports by watchdog groups that journalists are jailed without proper due process. What do you say about that? Ali Shire: I think I can state that we have a very vibrant and free press. Our constitution guarantees the freedom of expression and association. If you can read and write Somali and follow the Somaliland press, then you would understand how free it is. I think people sometimes go beyond proper boundaries, sometimes they cross red lines and you may have a few incidents here and there, but I think if you consider the totality of the freedom that is there for the press, you would be impressed. I am not aware of any journalist who is now behind bars for their views, some of them might have trespassed on others’ rights, but there is no one that has been sentenced arbitrarily. Capital: Somaliland has also been in the news recently for passing a law that criminalizes rape. Previously the way to deal with situations like that was by marrying the victims off to the offenders. The fact that such law has been passed, does it mean we will be seeing a more independent judicial system from traditional rules and women will enjoy better rights and protection? Ali Shire: What this basically means is that if you commit a crime, if you sexually assault someone you cannot hide yourself under tradition and culture, you are responsible for what you have done. If you violate someone’s dignity you pay for it. Capital: Let’s talk about the status of women and their participation in the country’s economy and politics. How does the government empower them? And politically, do we see women candidates participating to take over the big seat? Ali Shire: Women are very active in all walks of life. In business they are very active, in education for example, at the primary level you will find parity between boys and girls. Of course as you go up to higher education you lose that parity, you will find more boys than girls at this time. But maybe 20 years down the road, we will achieve parity at the level of higher education. As far as politics is concerned, I think women are not as active in politics as men because of traditions. I think it takes time; even in Europe, 100 years ago, the situation was very different, women were not allowed to vote. In Somaliland they do have the right to vote but you don’t find many women at the forefront of politics. In the new cabinet we have three new ministers; the minister for environment, minister of social affairs and minister of livestock and fisheries; they are all women. We also have many women that hold high-level places within the administration. Capital: It might not be much now, but would you say the trend is changing with the participation of women? Ali Shire: It is increasing. My view is that we really want parity and to get that, we really need to educate our girls. Because every woman who holds a position has it because she has the education and qualifications it has nothing to do with her gender so we need to work on that. Capital Ethiopia

By Ahmed Abdi Frustrated with staying in the camps for decades and suffering a prolonged period of resettlement procedures, refugees opted to immigrate to Europe through human smugglers that partnered with workers of money-transfer schemes. The European Union experienced a mass exodus of African refugees for two executive years- 2015 and 2016. Among of them, were refugees referred their cases to the United States and EU nearly seven years ago by the UNHCR. The United Nations’s protection counseling officials at UNHCR Yemen get bribes from the vulnerable refugees for their resettlement programs through individuals who act as a go-between between the refugees and the UN Refugee Agency. Even though the intermediaries get a small share of the money they receive a promise of resettlement for a third country but they often get in terrible when the refugees demand the return of their money from the UNHCR staffers. The pressure of solving the issue before anyone else learns and not paying on time by the UN staff encourages them to act violently by hiring gangs that intimidate the refugee clients. In July 2015, The Swedish government helped dozens of Horn of African refugees from Yemen to settle in its country successfully but many of the refugees could not refer their cases to Sweden without bribing the UN Refugee Agency. From then, the Swedish government quit taking in refugees from Yemen. The reason for not accepting refugees from Yemen is not immediately clear; however, a reporter from Swedish national TV (SVT) said when was asked if the decision relates to the bribery: “I don’t know. But the story was familiar in Stockholm.” Most refugees felt helpless after their former leader Yusuf Goggaar who challenged with an International Organization allegedly executed by poison along with his wife. His two daughters survived and moved to Somaliland when Dahabshiil company helped them. Another Somali Christian father who thought Christianity will save him from the gangs that regard the truth as their main enemy likely died of poisoning. He was waiting for a resettlement from Australia for years before his tragic demise. He was buried in Muslim Cemetery in Sana’a by his fellow Somali men. He left behind a son of his and his Bible. Australia no longer takes in African refugees from Yemen. African immigrants trying to escape poverty, unemployment and state repression die in the sea lanes every single year due to Canada, Germany, UK, US, Australia,Japan, China, Norway, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, EU, AU, and International communities inaction in terms of protecting refugees/Asylees and promoting democracy. As traveling through the area of Yemeni port of Hodeidah declined following several years of use — many smugglers changed their work from human smugglers to drug smugglers — that infiltrate the Kingdom’s borders to smuggle Hashish— after 42 Somali refugees were killed when a helicopter gunship attacked their boat off Yemeni coast in March last year. Many of the smugglers left Sana’a to resume their work at the Gulf of Aden where they receive help from persons wearing the uniform when it comes to re-arresting refugees and immigrants fleeing from the smugglers. At least 30 African refugees and migrants have drowned off the coast of Yemen after the boat they were traveling on capsized. Smugglers reportedly also fired on passengers. Both UNHCR’s repatriation program and its “Dangerous Crossing Campaign” provided a fruitless because the Agency outsources key sectors of its actual work duties to specific NGOs who provide a limited support to their refugee clients. Some of the NGOs founded by individuals left the UNHCR after enriching themselves. A senior Jubaland State official said in early January that the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) has “intentionally created a humanitarian catastrophe” in the Jubaland state of Somalia. “People started to go back the same camps that UNHR established for them 27 years ago,” said Abdirashid Ali Gooni, Governor of Lower Juba. UN wanted to ensure food and water are provided the repatriated Somali refugees from Dadaab through their partner American Refugee Committee (ARC) but did not happen. While International Community, the World Bank and IMF are not doing enough to help African nationals in their homeland, the African heads of states aim at staying in office to run their countries as long as possible and oftentimes execute their political rivals— crackdown dissents to avoid losing power which forces people to escape persecution and eventually end up in the refugee camps or die in the sea lanes. The pressing question on the minds of many refugees and asylum-seekers is, “Will World Leaders address the root causes of migration at the World Economic Forum in Davos and African Union summit?”

A teachers’ union on Saturday supported the appointment of Amina Mohammed as the Cabinet secretary for Education. Ms Mohammed, the outgoing Foreign Affairs CS, was on Friday nominated to head the Ministry of Education taking over from Dr Fred Matiang’i, who becomes the new Interior CS. SUPPORT Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) leaders supported the minister, saying they were optimistic she would help solve diplomacy issues in the ministry. They urged her to use her expertise in diplomacy to bring together education stakeholders and engage on various issues affecting the sector. “We know that she is an accomplished diplomat…we welcome her and are happy,” Kuppet Secretary-General Akello Misori told the Nation on the phone. He said despite not being an educationist, he supported her because she was capable of delivering. “I do not want to undermine her; even the Late Mutula Kilonzo was a lawyer but he did quite well in the Education Ministry,” Mr Misori said. STRATEGY Unlike her predecessor Dr Matiang’i, who was viewed by many as being ‘military’, Ms Mohammed is viewed as ‘soft’. But Mr Misori said all Ms Mohamed needed to do was to create new strategies and structures to deal effectively with challenges at the ministry. The priority areas for her, he said, should be infrastructure, secondary school transition, the new curriculum, examination cheating, cartels and teachers’ welfare. “She should fight so that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) may have its budget enhanced so as to support teachers in their work, as well as increase their numbers in schools,” said Mr Misori. “She has come at a time when we are at cross road, we have not achieved 100 per cent transition rate and still are grappling with poor infrastructure and a new curriculum. It is upon her to get her act right,” Mr Misori said. EXAMS Kuppet Chairman Omboko Milemba, who also is the Emuhaya MP, said: “We welcome and congratulate her for the new appointment. With her diplomatic experience and skills, she will do a good job.” “But we want to remind her that she should continue with reforms at the ministry, especially the new curriculum, policy and localisation of teachers,” he said. Mr Milemba also said the minister should ensure moderation during exam marking to avoid many failures. He said for the two years Dr Matiang’i was the Education CS, there have been 95,000 Es in national examinations. According to him, Dr Matiang’i did a great job and should have been reappointed Education CS. “I felt that there was no need to change Matiang’i. We had not yet seen what he really wanted to achieve. Nevertheless, we shall give Amina our full support,” said Mr Milemba. Source: Daily Nation The post Kuppet congratulates Amina Mohamed, ready to work with her appeared first on Caasimada Online.

Eritrea has issued a statement reacting to the expulsion of its top diplomat in Netherlands. On Tuesday last week, the Dutch Foreign Ministry expelled Eritrea’s Charge d’Affaires to the country, Tekheste Ghebremedhin. The Dutch Foreign ministry explained that the diplomat was expelled after government found mounting evidence of Eritrea continuing to force tax payments from people who fled the country. The Eritrean government however describes these reasons as ‘untenable explanations’. In a statement posted by the Eritrea ministry of information, the government argues that there was no proof of wrongful or punishable offenses presented to the Dutch Parliament to warrant the action taken. ‘‘While the cabinet recognizes that no judge has yet recorded proof of wrongful or punishable offenses by the Eritrean embassy office in The Hague”, the minister (Dutch) alluded to a broadcast of Argo (Dutch radio station) and the motion of two parliamentarians to explain and justify this unwarranted and unfriendly act,’‘ read part of the statement. The statement goes ahead to justify the levying of the 2% diaspora tax that is the subject of contention. ‘‘Eritrea’s levying of 2% Rehabilitation and Recovery tax in the Diaspora, enacted in accordance with the laws of the country in 1994, is a legitimate and sovereign act that cannot be misconstrued, by any stretch of imagination, as a contravention of the Vienna Protocol on Diplomatic Relations.’‘ The statement went on to explain that the tax is not mandatory for Eritreans living in the diaspora, although failure or opting not to pay it limits the services that a citizen can enjoy when they go back home to Eritrea. ‘‘A citizen who fails or opts not to pay the 2% Rehabilitation Tax is entitled to all his/her rights and consular services. But he/she will forfeit business license and land entitlement rights in the home country.’‘ The statement concludes by describing the Dutch government’s actions as ‘arbitrary and provocative act that has no consonance with the Vienna Protocol of Diplomatic Relations’ and refers to ‘previous unfriendly incidents taken by the Dutch authorities against Eritrea in the past few years’. According to the statement, Dutch non resident Ambassador to Eritrea has been summoned to explain the unfriendly acts of her government.

The African Union mission in Somalia’s planned withdrawal of 21,000 troops from the extremist-threatened Horn of Africa nation by 2020 cannot be met without urgent help from the international community, the mission’s chief said Saturday. In an interview, Francisco Madeira told The Associated Press he fears all gains made in the past decade could be lost in an abrupt departure. Speaking on the sidelines of an African Union summit, he said the world must “fast-track” to meet the 2020 goal of handing over security responsibilities to Somalia’s military. “The U.N. and other partners must understand that this enterprise needs additional resources,” he said. The U.S. military and others have warned that Somalia’s forces are not ready as the al-Shabab extremist group continues to carry out deadly attacks in the capital, Mogadishu, and elsewhere. A truck bombing in Mogadishu in October killed 512 people and was blamed on al-Shabab’s ability to assemble ever-larger explosives. Only a few attacks since 9/11 have killed more people. The U.S. military last year increased its presence in Somalia to more than 500 personnel and carried out more than 30 drone strikes against al-Shabab and a small presence of Islamic State group-affiliated fighters. But the African Union pullout from Somalia has begun, with 1,000 troops leaving last year. Madeira said he hopes another 1,000 troops will withdraw this year. The AU mission has faced a struggle for stable funding. The continental body says only 40 percent of its overall budget is funded by its member states, with the balance coming from donors. Observers say the unreliability of outside funding makes it difficult for the AU to finance critical activities such as peacekeeping operations. In 2016 a major funder of the AU mission in Somalia, the European Union, cut its funding for troop allowances by 20 percent, citing priorities elsewhere in Africa and around the world. Somalia’s fragile central government continues to face the challenges of regional tensions and rampant corruption. While President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed once vowed to eliminate al-Shabab within a couple of years, his administration has seen multiple shuffles of key security officials in less than one year in office. Earlier this week, the foreign minister of Somalia’s breakaway northern territory of Somaliland told the AP that a major cause of Somalia’s challenges is its outsourcing of security to others. “What Somalia needs to do is to reconcile and engage communities and then to invest in its own security, not to wait and look after others to take care of its issues,” Saad Ali Shire said. But the African Union mission head disagreed, saying the long-chaotic nation would have been under al-Shabab control if the foreign forces had not arrived a decade ago.

The music video went up on December 22. It’s got all the ingredients to go viral: a catchy beat, smooth vocals and easy-to-copy dance moves. It’s garnered over two million views so far and inspired copies around the world. But it’s definitely not your typical internet meme. The lyrics are in Somali, and the singer is Somali comedian Omar Said Omar, whose stage name is Oomaar. He was born in Mogadishu, grew up in Galkayo and now lives in Toronto. The song is called BARBAR. That’s Somali for sideways — because in the video, Oomaar pretends to fall to the side as a dance move. “He’s saying that he was in love and then the love just threw him away,” says the video’s producer, Liibaan Jama, a Somali who came to Minnesota as a child. “The love threw me away like that, sideways.” Somalia itself was thrown sideways for many years, cited over and over as the world’s leading example of a failed state, mired in conflict and insecurity since dictator Mohammed Siad Barre was ousted in 1991. There was no central government from 1991 to 2006. Pirates attacked ships in waterways off the Somali coast. In October, a truck bombing in the capital Mogadishu took more than 300 lives, “the deadliest single attack Somalia has ever faced,” according to its Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management. In addition, Somalis also contend with food shortages fueled by drought. And the GDP per capita was $450 in 2016. Yet Somalis are resilient and hopeful. Somalia’s fragile government is struggling to rebuild the country and there are encouraging signs. Despite all their troubles, Somalis are enjoying everyday life, playing footie (soccer) on the beach in Mogadishu, for example. In December, the president of the Somali Football Federation announced plans to host international soccer matches in 2018, the first time since 1988. And now there’s the BARBAR video. It isn’t spreading a political message. It’s simply meant to be fun. And many people — Somalis and non Somalis — are enjoying it. “Mostly the Somalis are political animals, and we like all things politics,” says Hassan Abukar, a Somali cultural commentator who lives in the U.S. and works as a court interpreter. “This new song is basically taking us away from any discourse in politics, all these divisions that as a community we always talk about.” Plus there’s the novelty effect. “There is a Somali saying that says people like what’s new, so probably that’s one of the reasons that many people like this song,” says Abukar. That saying, wixii cusub caalamkaa jecel, translates to “What’s new in the world?” Inside jokes add to the video’s appeal. In certain cuts, Oomaar wears a windbreaker labeled “hooyo,” the Somali word for mother — in the same font popularized by American streetwear brand Supreme. It helps, too, that Jama already has a following as a video producer, making songs and videos with friends for several years in Minneapolis, where he lives. But it’s always hard to know what will take off on the internet. Jama had no idea Barbar would be such a hit, especially considering that the video came together in about a day. A friend, Mowliid Curjin, had written the lyrics, Jama did the audio and video production, and Oomaar threw in the dance move of falling sideways. “I never even thought it was going to be that popular,” Jama says. Not everyone thinks the video deserves attention. Some critics have raised the idea that religious sermons, not dance moves, should be going viral; a few clerics and religious groups have posted their own videos speaking out against the popular song. But that hasn’t stopped Barbar. In fact, in Somalia, in other countries on the continent and in the African diaspora, imitators are playfully throwing themselves out of chairs, into pools and onto piles of snow. They’ve uploaded hundreds of videos to YouTube and Facebook, from Kenya, Djibouti and Minnesota.
