- Rick Steves' Europe © 2020 | Venturing beyond Europe, and with local experts as his guides, Rick uses Ethiopia as a classroom for understanding global hunger and extreme poverty - and how to beat it. Together, we witness the importance of water, education, empowering women, and nutrition during a child's first thousand days. And we see firsthand the impact of globalization and climate change. Our souvenir: A vivid appreciation of how ending hunger is possible - and how smart and modern development aid is the key. #ricksteves #ethiopia

I am happy that Ethiopia is developing. Love to Ethiopian People from India.
Thanks for your best wish
Ethiopia is a very resilient and a very promising land of hard working people. Wish all the Ethiopian Brothers and Sisters the success in their endeavours of developing their country. God Bless you, friends. Greetings from Pakistan.
Best wishes to Ethiopia! And all African countries. Greetings from Poland.

Good wishes to Ethiopian and all African countries God blessing amen forever and ever amen. God is good all the time God is good alleluya
hi my friends are you or happy ❤️💗😇
Best wishes to Ethiopia. Greetings from INDIA 🇮🇳
Indians love to mention themselves
Watching Rick makes me optimistic about the future. You know the media is just about how there is terror in one country. Thank you Rick.
I pray for Ethiopia to overcome it's challenges as it develops love from Kenya
Love you my Kenyan brother
That's my country ❤️❤️
Ethiopia ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Justin Y. I don't see how it belongs to somalia considering the fact ethiopia is actually older than somalia. Also somalia is too weak and poor to even think about conquering ethiopia
This kind of life about Africa is more valuable, allowing the world to see the life of Africans
We love you Rick Steves, we learn so much from you!
Keep rising up Ethiopia may God bless you and keep you safe. Greetings from Philippines 🇵🇭❤️🇪🇹
Poverty hunger cities crammed with poor hungry poorly dressed people I don't know if any concerned govt about rural people and rural housing is there ?
Hello 🇪🇹🤝🇵🇭🖤
We thank you 🇪🇹♥🇵🇭😍
We who have much need to give to those who have little. I pray that Ethiopia and all those countries/cities that are struggling can keep improving.
Ethopia lovely country

To everyone watching this video - the presenter compared the size of Ethiopia to that of Italy!
The size of Ethiopia is 1,104,300 sq km while Italy is 301,340 sq km - this makes Ethiopia 266% larger than Italy. Thank you for the video but I hope the presenter will correct this huge mistake.
Size does t matter Ethipia is 100 times less dev than Italy Poverty hunger cities crammed with poor hungry poorly dressed people I don't know if any concerned govt about rural people and rural housing is there ?
@@navneetsahay196 bruh he's referring to what was said at the beginning of the video, when he said italy was the same size as ethiopia
I knew this sounded wrong. Thanks for correcting it.
I have been watching Rick Steves since I was a kid. This is my favorite travel of his yet.
feels like my birthday will all of these uploads! thank you rick and PBS!
Oh you are finally in my wonderful ancient native country of Ethiopia 🇪🇹 Steve!! Im an Ethiopian American here in Minnesota and love your amazing show, Rick Steve's Europe! Ethiopia 🇪🇹 ,with its unparalleled wonderful ancient proud history is definitely a wonderful country to visit !!! I love your shows and watch them whenever I can!! Do keep up the great work please!!!
I hope to visit someday, looks amazing! 😊
I have been to Ethiopia 3 times. Ethiopia has a special place for me. I met my wife in Ethiopia, I also married there. I have been to Addis , gerji , Bishoftu and Mekele. It is a beautiful country from all levels.
Am Ghanaian but Ethiopia is my favourite country in Africa
Much Respect From Ethiopia
I love 😍 ethiopa amzing peopel , and proud peopel
I love you my Ethiopia 🇪🇹
I love ethiopians
Ur country poor and more people is there dictatorship country?
@@x-isaac3385 POVERTY is every where have you seen the statistic of homeless lately? By the way Jesus travel in the back of DONKEY never lived in palace do you call him poor? You are so ripped up on your own you have no ear
@@x-isaac3385 We are not slave . you have to read it about slave.
@@tsedalebelete1516 Thankyou so much .
I love your travel videos. One minor correction - Ethiopia's size is almost four time bigger than Italy.
yes thank you! i thought i was the only one who noticed this slip of tongue
That is great and necessary correction.
Yet lacks the rich art and culture.
@@baldwintheleper8290 you showed your lack of knowledge about Africa.
Yes
Thank you Rick Steves for featuring Ethiopia. This alone impacts a positive message to the world. Stay safe in your travels!
Thank you so much, Rick Steves! The world needs more people like you. Edu-tainment!

One day I hope to visit this beautiful country. Hugs from Italy :)
Please do more of these! Show the world beyond European cities.
My best friend was born and raised in Ethiopia until 2013. She now lives in Chicago and goes to school in Madison alongside me. Thanks so much for doing an episode about her home country. We absolutely loved it.
Rick steves
Beautiful Ethiopia
Houses aren’t beautiful looks like there’s no food & water and millions of people we pray for ur country 🙏🏽🇸🇨
Amazing country. Greetings from Indonesia
Prayers for these precious hardworking people, thank you for this important video
Hello from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
We love Ethiopia! Can't wait to get back for more exploring
Poverty hunger cities crammed with poor hungry poorly dressed people I don't know if any concerned govt about rural people and rural housing is there ?
Like india
Long long ago I wished to travel and see Eithopia. This video gave me an insight. It is heartening to understand that empathy towards the less fortunate can indeed create a better world.. And then there is a silver lining against all dark clouds - that of HOPE.. For a better world for everyone :)
Do it! It's one of our favorite countries!
@@lostamonglocals5382 yes after this corona troubles are done with, the world over
You should visit. However, don’t be a white savior. I can tell you that no matter how poor these people might be, they don’t need assistance from rich foreigners. They must learn to develop for themselves.
@@Kazilikaya I just wish to experience the life there. Nothing more and as a veterinarian would try to be of some help if any at all
@@Kazilikaya What we need is for white people to stop interfering with our politics and our economies to engage in fair trade and to stop stealing our resources then we won't have too much of a problem developing.
This documentary was a unique departure from other documentaries I have seen. Keep up the good work Steve!
A departure it is!! ...Ethiopia has beautiful landscapes too just like the European countrie he visits but like most westerners, they can't seem to find it in themselves to showcase Africa positively and accurately. There are state of the art malls and freeways but I guess it's better to show poverty ,malnutrition and kids with flies in their eyes. There's poverty in many parts of Europe too but he can't cover that narrative. # Africans wake up and tell your own stories, no one else will do it for you.
@@thikagal thanks i was also saying the same
@@thikagalThis is you giving a false narrative. European countries are so much more developed than any country in Africa, except perhaps the Seychelles. Ethiopia has an HDI of 0.492, which is 176th out of all counties on Earth. Don’t get me wrong - Africa has beauty and history like any other place, but to compare its poverty and struggles to Europe is just foolish. Westerners spinning a narrative aren’t to blame here, much as you’d like to think that way.
Hallelujah!!! Finally!!!!! He now exploring Africa in his episodes.....
after watching this videos , I hope Ethiopeans shall over come all problems and developing one of the best in Africa
Having been a volunteer Physical Therapist for Malawi Against Polio (1991-1993), I've had both frustration and hope for our world. It is great that Rick has decided to shed light on some of our world's challenges, and some of the possible solutions. I would also like to see episodes that address overpopulation, access to family planning, and how having smaller families is better for everyone. Additionally, it would be nice if Rick could include a list of companies and organizations we could support, and what changes we could make to improve our world.
በጣም ደስ ይላል።
I love Ethiopia so much !!!!!
What love?Poverty hunger cities crammed with poor hungry poorly dressed people I don't know if any concerned govt about rural people and rural housing is there ?
እናመሰግናለን!
I’ve actually been to Mekelle back in 2015 with my university = UCL DPU. Back then we worked with the local university on a project regarding urban agriculture...afterwards i also took a short break in gondar
its a shame that the recent violence has taken a lot of lives...RIP
I’m from the very city of Mekelle. We’ve worked hard to change our circumstances but this war has brought us back decades 😔
@@vibes5114 I honestly hope that you guys will get back on your feet soon...please stay safe
@@yux.tn.3641 thank you for the good wishes sir/ma’am.
God bless those people that are helping them 🥺
Your voice is calming and hopeful for Ethiopia.
I have been on Mission trips in poor countries. we took grain packs that would feed seven people. We can all give this much. Love from North Carolina.
Roughly the size of Italy. What a start!
Ethiopia is an astonishing country with splendid views, friendly people, and delicious cuisine. It was on a direct path to developing and improving living standards. Unfortunately, it now is involved in a military conflict, which causes only harm to the citizen.Ethiopia`s cultural heritage has really impressed me, so I want to visit this country so much , but I don`t want to put my family at risk because I always travel with them.
Beautiful country!!! Safe travels!!!!
For a foreigner you have diagnosed the problems, and oportunities for Africa really well. You have also given a very balanced solution on what the attitude of those priviledged should be. Great work
I like these kind of travel shows, shows the human spirit. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻♥️💜💖
These are our faves!
delicious story of our country Ethiopia
Love from india,Ethiopia have huge growth potential they need to keep a watch on population,otherwise they are going to have same problems as India
Thanks for putting Ethiopia in the spotlight. I actually wanted to know about this country for as long as I can remember because I have a childhood friend whose family came from Ethiopia.
in fairness for the ethiopians. i live as an overseas worker for a state university in ethiopia for almost a decade and the place was wonderful. merely they have a fasting culture. the people are great. for ethiopia biological study. there were places identified as zero ground water content..ethiopia is the country where simplicity as its best and organic food and drink is served. keep it up Ethiopia.
An Ethiopia episode way to go Rick!
Happy that you came to africa
Fyi Ethiopia can span from London to the northern point of Italy while holding France Belgium Netherlands and a significant chunk of Germany inside so yeah it is not roughly the size of Italy.
"Roughly the size of Italy?". Just struck me, looking at my globe, that Ethiopia is actually over 3 times the size of Italy :-).
4x
Italy: 301,340 km² Ethiopia: 1.104 million km²
I say a big difference. And Axum is not a capital city.
Thank you for this interesting glimpse of Ethiopia.
Rick Steeves is in Ethiopia! I'm so happy.
Best wishes to groth of ethiopia
Thank you for letting your audience know.
RICK STEVE : TOTALE BIENFAISANCE POUR LE BIEN ÊTRE. MERCI !
Best hopes and wishes from the US to Ethiopia
Thanks alot for making this video🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🙏
Mr Rick,! I have been watching you for a long time. Today you finally covered a topic that is generally known. However, you didn’t cover the beauty & the rest of Ethiopia. Thank you anyway you have come a long way. From covering Europe all these years. Thank you.
Thank you for making this!
Just one word for ya. GREAT!
Thanks a lot.
For good or bad you forgot mention one name.

Rick Steves' AFRICA!!!!!
It's an amazing documentary !!!
I appreciate the work done to describe my country in 25 minutes.
Thank you and I still wish peace and love to the people of the world.
I wish you a better and more stable Ethiopia.💚💛💖
Thank you Rick Steve for a fair and balanced coverage of a rising African Star, Ethiopia. I have been watching your show for years and often wondered, how wonderful it would be if Mr. Steve steps out of his comfort zone of Eurocentric shows, and steps into the "REAL" World, where 80% "OTHER" human beings live. Thank you Rick Steve, you Rock, Man. Love from Pakistan.
Thank you so mach Rick for this video I am from Ethiopia 💚💛❤
Thank you Rick for highlighting the beautiful country and people of Ethiopia. As the Executive Director of Water to Thrive, I've witnessed the growth and progress over the last nine years since I've been traveling to east Africa building water wells for those most needy, rural villages. You shared the poverty and struggles in a dignified manner and your questions at the end are consistent with my own inner conflicts...should I feel guilty (because I have so much and so many have so little)? Why should I care? Can I make a difference? In need, each of us can make a difference and it is the essence of our existence...to help others along our journey.
Iam from Ethiopia 🇪🇹🇪🇹 thank you very much ❤️
Fascinating country.
Host 🙏
As Ethiopian i don't
need to comment for this video.
My heart is broken right now.
He only showed the poor people.... typical way of portraying Africa.
@@leticiaperry8510 ya only negative image
@@leticiaperry8510 true that most $* always trying to make us feel poor BUT time will reveal the truth just stay positive 🙏❤️
23:49 onwards! Just wow! Thanks Steve
thanks. We appreciate your empathy.
God bless the people of Ethiopia!
Beautiful Rick Steeves
Keep it up Rick Steve.
I'm always looking forward to your next uploads since I discovered your channel.
Much love and thanks from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪.
Rick steves 👍
Tremendous 👍
I saw the preview. It is absolutely marvelous that the gentle and thoughtful travel guide and commentator Rick Steeves is now branching out beyond Europe -- Iran, Egypt, and now Ethiopia.
(Guilded churches and monuments to potentates who started wars was getting pretty boring), and, perhaps even more importantly, is now going "beyond traditional sightseeing" and is reporting on how the materially less fortunate (but no less interesting) people of our world live and on promising ways to improve their lives.
I lived in Ethiopia for 7 years and am avidly looking forward to Mr. Steeves' presentation.
Thank you, Rick Steves' Europe!
Tank you sir your visit.
One of the places with the most ancient history
Thanks for making wonderful video on Ethiopia, I wish u will make video on Indian subcontinent (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal & Srilanka) in coming days. Greetings & love from Bangladesh
Yes.. waiting for it..
Why don't you make it
Thank you so much sir. Because of you we all know about the Ethiopia. But most of the people waste tremendous amount of water. Even me. But from this moment I'm trying to use the water very carefully. Thank you so much again🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Rick for taking your travel purpose a notch higher by exploring and exposing realities in our societies! May you have more videos like this! Stay safe!
Peace be with you Harare 🇪🇹💕🇪🇹💪
Thank you Rick for posting new content. I love your videos. It's nice to see travel videos during a time when most people can't travel.
