i don't care what Yemen says this island is close to Somalia by 80km
it should part of Somalia border or they should be its own country
because this island is too precious to be forgotten

aljazeera reporting

An island chain off the coast of Yemen is home to many species found nowhere else on the planet, drawing a growing number of tourists, climbers and trekkers.

But the battle between making money and preserving Socotra's biodiversity has conservationists worrying about the impact of tourism on its fragile environment.

Any coincidence that al jazeera is making this story as soon as Somalia claims socotra? AND read the desription box
