7:34 Do you know Filmon.... LOL! Asmera is not a little village where everyone knows every resident. Or is this Filmon guy a celebrity? By the way I am sure the taxi driver and his passenger wouldn't appreciate that you show the whole world what they were saying in private. 15:30 UTOPIA this young man is refering to the quality of the Eritrean people, despite the difficulties the Eritrean people keep their good values and morals intact! 28:36 Castor 29:02 chickpeas, it starts like this🤣🤣! It is even tastier when you eat it raw just as they were doing it. This might be strange for someone who usually sees chickpeas in a bottle or plastic bags. 29:25 what is the name of this cafe, really? I love how he showed you the name. 31:50 well, if people want to use it why not? It is like keeping cars from the 50's don't you think? 36:32 Correction! Only those who can't open their own account not every customer because it sounds like she helps all their customers.
we love Somalia people also bro,we have simelar language with somalia in Eritrea call Saho meany word the number and meny words like see bad, or star hotok,but in somalia they says hidig means STAR
As a Somali, Eritrea, people & land have always a very special place in the heart of every Somali, I have visited Eritrea back in 2008 again i fall in love with Eritrea, 🇪🇷 ❤️ from Somalia 🇸🇴 ❤️
@@breakingmoment07 Thanks for moderating videos on youtube and making sure people film the right thing. Am I your first video that you reported? I haven't gotten any notice yet from youtube, but thanks for the notice, so I can watch out for their email.
Actually, there were a lot of Indians living in Eritrea, when India & Eritrea were colonies of the British empire. In fact Bollywood films & stars are still popular in Eritrea.
As an Ethiopian, this video brings back fond memories of my childhood. Ethiopia has changed a lot since then, Eritrea still holds the same spirit and culture it had when it gained independence in 1993. It's a reminder of my childhood and fills me with nostalgia.
And I was there the first time when when the border open between Eritrea and Ethiopia three years ago! And I was so happy to see my half relatives! I saw the same thing what you witnessed! I can’t wait to go back!
I Left Asmera 12 years ago been to allover the world still didn’t find anything like Home miss you all and Love you my country hopefully everything go back to normal ❤Godbless Eritra and people 🙏🙏🙏
One day, we will visit it. I hope you will visit soon, I left 21 years ago and I couldn't go back still sadly. Asmara shikor Aniya! So sad, Eritrean youth left the country.
Great video as is. Thank you so much for putting it up. It really brings old memories from long time ago. I also like the way you picked the places, very original. I really appreciate the people who made your stay very easy. ❤
From amhara, is that a person, an ethnic group or just a region. Just curious with your choice of word, no pun intended. I am Ethiopian and not politician just curious.
I saw my homeland after 2 decades and plus ! Things are as they were ! The honesty and hospitable are there too ! When the situation allows , I will be at home !
I appreciate your Video, very much nostalgic! The time you took to speak to the local people shows how open minded you are in learning other people’s culture. I can’t wait to visit my family again 🇪🇷
Probably this is the best piece for us to show the diehard supporters of the regime that Asmera as a city, and Eritrea as a country are dying a slow death Thanks 🙏🏽
Wow , beautiful clear sky must be no pollution and less crowded comparing to my city Addis Ababa!! Love to visit Konjo Asmara someday. Thank you bro 🙏🏽 bless
Waw am really happy to see you in Asmara it’s really unique 👍🏼I grow up in Asmara I traveled back after 12 years last month. Really good weather 👌I hope you enjoy it too ❤
It is good to travel to our country,as you can see the people of Eritrea are hospitable, friendly, not looking for what is not theirs, friendly to work, respectful of people, I hope you are satisfied with your trip.❤🇪🇷
Where is Eritrea's peace now? Right now, many of our people are fighting in the war. Why would you fabricate lies? You can see the man getting hit in the head on this TH-cam video. Nothing is peaceful. People avoid Asmera because of the dictator there. Without democracy and without the ability to vote for the government, our people are dying in the struggle against poverty
Loved this country from my childhood coz, of my war veteran brother. It's always in my mind. Inshallah I will visit on day. Your video was very original like Asmara 👍. It's reminds me back 90s in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 when I see VHS 📼 and markets. The people are very honest and kind. Asmara is really original.
Amazing video.Very nice cause it is a raw footage video. I felt I was walking with him in person. Keep it natural, the background noises gives it the true colour and flavors of the City. Asmara is indeed beautiful.
Thanks for the compliment. Yes, I guess raw footage has its perks. But I wanted to add music and narration to give the movie more meaning and consistency. Also, do I need to cut out that conversation in the taxi?
I miss my country 2009 I leave my country I feeling bad when I saw this video I remember everywhere thanks for shared bro if you have more i waiting to you 🇪🇷👍
Eritrea is very peace and beautiful. US and some Westerners try to propagate bad image so it can destroy the peaceful life and safety of the Eritreans. Love from Somalia 🇸🇴 🇪🇷
I did not know there were couchserfers in Eritrea, so happy to hear that there are. I hope to see your couch in future video. Thank you for the nice coverage.
Just because a lots ppl leaving the country due the mafia gov’t … when u talk to the ppl closely u can tell there is some stress ( specifically parents)
I was going to say the same thing. Diasporas in the west have no clue what life is about as long as they fill their stomach with steroid filled chicken and burger, live a flashy life for them being a second class citizen and live under modern slavery is progress. They are quick to sell their country for a white man.
Thank you for starting from the airport to the downtown city’s thank you with so many memories buck you brought for us now that our country is birthing more peace the past so many years a go we are binging watched and treated so many of our on people Flew from there home and now missing so many of them thank you sir for letting people know our peaceful Eritrea 🇪🇷 Asmara is the way it is clean no pickpockets you can find all what you have not find your belongings so thank lord our peace even if we have nothing but we have peace we don’t want no more fights hope our enemies leave us in peace sorry but thank you for visiting Eritrea 🇪🇷 🙏🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙💙💙🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷
A great video and you seem warm and personable and eager to immerse yourself. Never mind about the comments, this is the internet people will say all sorts. I must say as an Eritrean, not a fan of the colonial architecture. We should modernise the capital. Eritrea is not to be defined by its colonial past it has a vast history.
I hope you had amazing time! To Eritreans there is no country compares to our beloved,resilient, just breathtakingly beautiful home I m so lucky to belong to this timeless country❤❤❤.
yeah! your country looks SO amazing - the people and the culture in particular...the coffee, conversation and music etc. etc. etc.. I hope to make it there one day (to Eritrea and Ethiopia).
@@mickeymortimer4407 Eritrea is like a time capsule where time has stood still because most things you find there are very old, but in working condition, you go to a coffee shop the machines they use to make the cappuccino, cafe latte, etc are the same original machines used during the colonial times, the city of Asmara is famous for its art deco architectural heritage built built between 1920s - late 1930s during the Italian rule. Asmara is also the only African city to have been given world heritage status by UNISCO. But I was born in Massawa city which was largely built during the Ottoman empire and it use to look very beautiful until the Ethiopian's bombed the city and many of the 16th century buildings had been badly damaged or destroyed during the war of independence which last 30 long yrs. If you google it you will see for yourself.
Don't be jealous you could do it. I've been there five times it's not what you think it is, makes a plan and saves your money. If you have a passport make sure it's updated that's all you need.
JayPiper thanks for visiting the place where I grew up. Have you ever noticed anything that Eritrea is an open air prison😢 My people are suffering by the brutal dictator😢 over 400 Prisons with around 50,000 Prisoners , no freedom of speech, no law, no constitution and no university. Most of the young generations are migrated all over the world💔
Hello JayPiper, I was fascinated with this video you made of Asmara. I was there around 1972-1974 with the U.S. Army. I was stationed at Kagnew Station, and was 19 yrs. old. I was trying to see the areas of your video , the places I use to drive around. It changed somewhat, but still has the old look in some of the places. Haile Selassie came to our base and I remember he was a short guy, but a powerful Emperor. I and a few others got a villa and resided outside the gate. We even took trips on weekends to go to Massawa and did boat trips. Driving down the mountains from Asmara to the Red Sea is all memories now. I am from Hawaii, and I often think of Ethiopia. Asmara, Ethiopia was good to me the Country and the People.
@@JaysWorldTravels Eritrea is becoming a great place the level of safety and lack of crime is almost baffling, The people have managed to support each other instead of self interest, there seems to be an over all vibe of country interest. I think there is hope in Eritrea to create a passive country in Horn of Africa. It can be an example of what African can be. Thank you for visiting, Africa.
I like the fact that u walked on the streets mostly on ur own, that's a good way to know what the true colors of the people are. If u had a local guiding u everywhere, u would have seen only his side of the city and u wouldn't have had the first-hand experience u just had. So don't be afraid to continue doing so as in Eritrea u can even walk by urself @ midnight (bt I don't recommend that in other countries 😉). Thank you for witnessing the safety of our country and the hospitality of our people!!! Much love Jay 😍
Thanks Naod. Yeah, I felt safe. There was a special feeling in Asmara knowing I could walk on any street sightseeing and not be afraid. You can’t even do that in Europe.
Because the government extremely cruel and their low of jungle is unjustified, ppl scared to walk leave alone to steel, in any normal community or country there is tiffs and there is a police, but ur country is definitely different from the rest of the world for real !!!!! Peace
@@fitbrfilwha7171 you are lying agame we are here because of you guys war to war 50 yeats sanction 20 yrs yeah puppet of biden 🇪🇷was the most industrial civilized city in 90s next to south africa do you know that?we are not thiefs ,criminals like agame Eritreas are the most hardworking smartest enterpruener who runs east Africa except 🇪🇷 Please stay away from here dirty
Fitbr Filwha...What I understand from ur comment is that u haven't been to Eritrea. So please instead of judging from afar, visit our country first and confirm if what we r saying is true or nt. But if u really believe that people r scared to walk in Eritrea, I won't comment nothing apart from 😁. And let me tell u one thing, rules and laws can't make a society well-behaved. I believe that it is the strong nd vibrant culture by itself that nurtured discipline and tolerance in our country. So stealing wasn't a thing of our forefathers and for sure isn't ours either. And please leave politics out of this. The video is about Asmara and it's people, not about the government.
@@user-xq6mo2hv2m youre people in northern ethiopia tigray have no food specally in the agame region and you have no other job then making fake accounts 😂 kufu agame resach eat youre anbeta
Thank you for visiting my beloved country as the same time I feel so sad looking into the hardship life that my people are going through the people who work hard, the people who are peaceful, the only people who live in harmony regardless their religion, the lonely streets, old cars, the unmaintained buildings and roads, shops filled with outdated stuff, youth waiting for an internet access in the internet caffe which is monitored by the regime and so on…….. makes me so sad. Our biggest and most beautiful city in Africa, Asmara used to be so beautiful. Today our biggest and beautiful city Asmara resembles a city aftermath a war - a deserted city. Two third of its people live in exile because of the totalitarian regime in Eritrea but I hope it is not going to be long before we all go back and see our families and friends again once the regime falls down.
You forget what you did to as yeah puppet wayane and western stay away we can biuld our country less than 5 yrs from now we are suffering because of ageme
It is actually doing great regardless of the sanctions and the war it is going through!! Long live to our president and the ppl we didn't extend their hands for help to western sympathizers; Working hand against all the odds !!!! It is just a matter of time when we shame our enemies and shine!!!
Wow what a funky looking city. "Funky" in an interestingly good way. I'm in Rwanda at the moment, been travelling around and living in East Africa for just over a year. Going to Uganda next for a month or so, then back to Kenya for a few months. Ethiopia definitely on my list but now seeing Eritrea, I might have to make a stop there too...
Don't go to Eritrea because There are killers not leaders Eritrea is African north Korea Most people left because the Slavery in Eritrea if you ask question you are gone people are so afraid anyway Eritrea is unknown most slave African country of Totalitarian group By the way no water no light no freedom no Internet No question to ask
Grazie che hai caricato la nostra amata Asmara♥️ anche se tanto invecchiata e trascurata 😥 Con tutto ciò che ha passato, prima la guerra di 30 anni poi gli perfidi nostri vicini (tigray)che non hanno mai smesso di odiarci.purtroppo.anche il dittatore ha fatto il resto facendo scappare i giovani Eritrei così per non avere possibili opposizioni 😥 Povera bellissima Eritrea Dio ti sostenga e ti benedica🙏🇪🇷❤️♥️♥️
Prina di tutto ti vorrei corregere non abiamo un dittarore abiano un patriota che ha dedicato la sua vita per il suo paese e popolo grazie a lui e anche al notro eroico popolo tutti i nemici degli 🇪🇷 e 🇪🇷. They can stay where you belong. Percio Asmara e 🇪🇷 e degli🇪🇷 e amici degli 🇪🇷.
Hi Jay, I hope you enjoyed your trip. I ask that you keep in mind the context of the country you’re visiting, the type of government there, the policies, the mass exodus out, the indefinite military conscription, the authoritarian government, & the unelected dictator of 31 years. Keep that in mind, & it might shed some light on some of the sentiments in these comments, and the state of the country when you visited. Happy travels :)
@@JaysWorldTravelsmy pleasure, I’m also glad you were able to travel to eritrea & produce this for us. I also enjoyed how you roamed freely & openly spoke to the locals asking questions, it gave the whole video a candid & honest feel.
Stay away yeah agame we loosing everything because of you pupper of western you forget everything you did 20 yrs sanction 50 yrs war Please take care about your family .
Good job my friend! I’m 1/2 Eritrean and Ethiopian but grew up in Addis ET also living in setae now. But whatever you saw true and it’s too hard to believe it right? Thanks for your time and telling the truth. You are a good man and spread the truth! Take care and be safe!
I just say what I saw. I’m a humble traveler, who likes meeting locals wherever I travel to. It felt like meeting family when visiting Eritrea because they were so friendly.
@@JaysWorldTravelsohh was filmed 4 years back! I hope you enjoyed Asmara. Did you know Bar Tre Stelle means three stars? The seniors enjoy coffee there and there was an eritv video about it recently.
It's a SHAME that after ALL this country has endured and survived, it will NEVER show any signs of progress so long as the DICTATORSHIP continues to rule the nation!!! Eritrea NEEDS a complete government overhaul with a NEW & YOUNG leadership following with a DEMOCRATIC government and TRUE FREEDOM to all!!! IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE!! ERITREAN PEOPLE DESERVE IT!!!! GOD BLESS ERITREA🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@milla411 wake up! wake up!don’t be so ignorant to THE TRUTH I know the truth hurts! Be part of the solution and DO NOT support the problem if you “really care” about the innocent people of Eritrea 🇪🇷!! The President (the devil 👿) and his government MUST GO!!! GOD Bless Eritrea 🇪🇷🙏🏾💕
What a beautiful video & thanks for sharing it with us 🙏🏽 as we are always super exited to see our beautiful country Eritrea 🇪🇷❤️ hope to see you there again sometime in the near future. Good job 👍

@@JaysWorldTravels 🙏🏿 thanks. I'm glad you like it. You are very welcome anytime you wanna visit 🇪🇷 and i appreciated you for this fantastic video and how you interact with the people in Eritrea 💙 peace to you until the next video 🙏🏿
Hey brother, please use some sort of musical background to remove the conversations that the taxi cab driver and the lady were having. The driver and the lady that was seated in the front were talking about personal matter that they don’t want anyone to listen to. So, please be considerate about other people’s personal privacy. First, ask them if they want to be videotaped. Second, blur their faces. It’s not ethical to brandish people’s private life to the public. And they don’t have any idea that you will upload it to TH-cam. I hope you understand and be respectful to any country’s culture and traditions.
@@Eri_Bella Chill bro! There’s no need to be rude. I’m sure he’s Considerate enough not to show the lady’s face. Given the fact that he doesn’t even understand the language you can tell it was not done intentionally.
@@sebkedem9410 He needs to understand that being culturally humble and respectful society, and actually nice people to others, doesn’t make us a foolish society. We have a great tradition in our country that gives foreigners a great deal of respect. However, that shouldn’t be translated into saying that we don’t know anything. They could have snatched his camera and get him out of the country. But that’s not what we stand for. You can see the driver wasn’t too comfortable when he saw that he was being recorded in plain sight. But, like I said, as a society we are very shy to speak up for our cause, and often we choose to just let it go in order to avoid arguments. I hope he sees this comment thread and edit the video.
7:34 Do you know Filmon.... LOL! Asmera is not a little village where everyone knows every resident. Or is this Filmon guy a celebrity? By the way I am sure the taxi driver and his passenger wouldn't appreciate that you show the whole world what they were saying in private.

Very sad to see this again and again without improving 😢 😞 but thanks for your visit 🙏
Well, you have to appreciate it as it is.
Don't forget the sanctions because of weyane

Eritrea is very peace and beautiful. US and some Westerners try to propagate bad image so it can destroy the peaceful life and safety of the Eritreans.
Love from Somalia 🇸🇴 🇪🇷
Nice comment
This footage is so raw, thank you for sharing this video!
Yes, unedited now. But, I’ll make an edited version later with music and narration.
I did not know there were couchserfers in Eritrea, so happy to hear that there are. I hope to see your couch in future video. Thank you for the nice coverage.
You’re the first one to comment on my couch experience.
This country looks so chilled and safe 🤩
👍
Just because a lots ppl leaving the country due the mafia gov’t … when u talk to the ppl closely u can tell there is some stress ( specifically parents)
Thank you for Asmara video, it is very sad to see the suffering of our beloved people! We will overcome one day!
Yes, we will overcome one day and see a better future.
What suffering did you see in this video?
@@keren7 everything was bad, we have gone 50 years backward
I was going to say the same thing. Diasporas in the west have no clue what life is about as long as they fill their stomach with steroid filled chicken and burger, live a flashy life for them being a second class citizen and live under modern slavery is progress. They are quick to sell their country for a white man.
Who’s suffering what are you talking about?
Miss u my lovely country. I appreciate u for visiting my lovely country.
Thanks for your comment

My beautiful country Eri🇪🇷 love you More😘. Thankyou for the Video👍
You’re welcome
Thanks more. I enjoyed watching your video.
Thanks for watching.
A great video and you seem warm and personable and eager to immerse yourself. Never mind about the comments, this is the internet people will say all sorts. I must say as an Eritrean, not a fan of the colonial architecture. We should modernise the capital. Eritrea is not to be defined by its colonial past it has a vast history.
Thanks for your comments. At least you left a nice comment.
I hope you had amazing time!
To Eritreans there is no country compares to our beloved,resilient, just breathtakingly beautiful home I m so lucky to belong to this timeless country❤❤❤.
Very nice country
yeah! your country looks SO amazing - the people and the culture in particular...the coffee, conversation and music etc. etc. etc.. I hope to make it there one day (to Eritrea and Ethiopia).
@@mickeymortimer4407 Eritrea is like a time capsule where time has stood still because most things you find there are very old, but in working condition, you go to a coffee shop the machines they use to make the cappuccino, cafe latte, etc are the same original machines used during the colonial times, the city of Asmara is famous for its art deco architectural heritage built built between 1920s - late 1930s during the Italian rule. Asmara is also the only African city to have been given world heritage status by UNISCO. But I was born in Massawa city which was largely built during the Ottoman empire and it use to look very beautiful until the Ethiopian's bombed the city and many of the 16th century buildings had been badly damaged or destroyed during the war of independence which last 30 long yrs. If you google it you will see for yourself.
@@redseayouth9119 great message, thanks! yeah, I find that region SO fascinating...i REALLY hope to go there one day (to Eritrea and Ethiopia).
@@redseayouth9119 You have so much that is really worth seeing in your country. It needs promoting. I can't wait to go and visit!!
Nice video tour
Asmara it's great and beautiful city ❤️
From mugdisho big love
Wow, all the way from Mogadishu. Is it safe for me to travel there now?
I feel jealous as many youth can't get back to the sweet home country, Eritrea.
Enjoy and have a wonderful trip.
Don't be jealous you could do it. I've been there five times it's not what you think it is, makes a plan and saves your money. If you have a passport make sure it's updated that's all you need.
Good point
Let’s hope things improve
@@Michael-mg6cc no, if you're Eritrean, you risk your life
@@Omer1996E.Cno you don’t lol
JayPiper thanks for visiting the place where I grew up. Have you ever noticed anything that Eritrea is an open air prison😢 My people are suffering by the brutal dictator😢 over 400 Prisons with around 50,000 Prisoners , no freedom of speech, no law, no constitution and no university. Most of the young generations are migrated all over the world💔

Hello JayPiper, I was fascinated with this video you made of Asmara. I was there around 1972-1974 with the U.S. Army. I was stationed at Kagnew Station, and was 19 yrs. old. I was trying to see the areas of your video , the places I use to drive around. It changed somewhat, but still has the old look in some of the places. Haile Selassie came to our base and I remember he was a short guy, but a powerful Emperor. I and a few others got a villa and resided outside the gate. We even took trips on weekends to go to Massawa and did boat trips. Driving down the mountains from Asmara to the Red Sea is all memories now. I am from Hawaii, and I often think of Ethiopia. Asmara, Ethiopia was good to me the Country and the People.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I read all my comments.
I am glad he was good to you Haile Selassie, but he was not good to Eritreans. Also it’s Asmara, Eritrea. All love❤
@@gelilaabraham8996 They treated me nicely, so I got a good impression.
@@JaysWorldTravels Eritrea is becoming a great place the level of safety and lack of crime is almost baffling, The people have managed to support each other instead of self interest, there seems to be an over all vibe of country interest. I think there is hope in Eritrea to create a passive country in Horn of Africa. It can be an example of what African can be. Thank you for visiting, Africa.
Thank you for visiting our country 🇪🇷🇪🇷
You’re welcome. I enjoyed your country
Thank you esaayas for turning this once vibrant city and people to pure darkness. Sad
Sounds like it used to be a lot nicer in days past.
@@JaysWorldTravels it was vibrant and almost no one wants to leave. It looks lifeless:(
My beautiful country 🇪🇷❤️🙏
👍
Nice Job. Good to see our beatiful Asmara city, thank you.
Great city.
Thank you, brother for letting me see my hometown 💖
You’re welcome
I like the fact that u walked on the streets mostly on ur own, that's a good way to know what the true colors of the people are. If u had a local guiding u everywhere, u would have seen only his side of the city and u wouldn't have had the first-hand experience u just had. So don't be afraid to continue doing so as in Eritrea u can even walk by urself @ midnight (bt I don't recommend that in other countries 😉). Thank you for witnessing the safety of our country and the hospitality of our people!!! Much love Jay 😍
Thanks Naod. Yeah, I felt safe. There was a special feeling in Asmara knowing I could walk on any street sightseeing and not be afraid. You can’t even do that in Europe.
Because the government extremely cruel and their low of jungle is unjustified, ppl scared to walk leave alone to steel, in any normal community or country there is tiffs and there is a police, but ur country is definitely different from the rest of the world for real !!!!! Peace
@@fitbrfilwha7171 you are lying agame we are here because of you guys war to war 50 yeats sanction 20 yrs yeah puppet of biden 🇪🇷was the most industrial civilized city in 90s next to south africa do you know that?we are not thiefs ,criminals like agame Eritreas are the most hardworking smartest enterpruener who runs east Africa except 🇪🇷 Please stay away from here dirty
Fitbr Filwha...What I understand from ur comment is that u haven't been to Eritrea. So please instead of judging from afar, visit our country first and confirm if what we r saying is true or nt. But if u really believe that people r scared to walk in Eritrea, I won't comment nothing apart from 😁. And let me tell u one thing, rules and laws can't make a society well-behaved. I believe that it is the strong nd vibrant culture by itself that nurtured discipline and tolerance in our country. So stealing wasn't a thing of our forefathers and for sure isn't ours either. And please leave politics out of this. The video is about Asmara and it's people, not about the government.
Eritrea one of the safest countries in the world
Yes, that’s what the people told me.
@@JaysWorldTravels maybe for you for eritreans it's not safety

Hey Buddy thanks for your video sharing my beautiful country! I hope you enjoyed it!❤️
I liked your country. Great experience
Wow this was amazing. Thanks for sharing. Love my Eri people
Thanks for watching.
i love asmera I'm Ethiopian and I just feel it. This is my country and this people is my people.
Thanks for your kind comments
Thanx for your kind words but Eritra is not you country and not your people, but you are our naughty neighbours 😉 😜
One people
Thank you for visiting my beloved country as the same time I feel so sad looking into the hardship life that my people are going through the people who work hard, the people who are peaceful, the only people who live in harmony regardless their religion, the lonely streets, old cars, the unmaintained buildings and roads, shops filled with outdated stuff, youth waiting for an internet access in the internet caffe which is monitored by the regime and so on…….. makes me so sad. Our biggest and most beautiful city in Africa, Asmara used to be so beautiful. Today our biggest and beautiful city Asmara resembles a city aftermath a war - a deserted city. Two third of its people live in exile because of the totalitarian regime in Eritrea but I hope it is not going to be long before we all go back and see our families and friends again once the regime falls down.
Thanks for the nice comment.
You forget what you did to as yeah puppet wayane and western stay away we can biuld our country less than 5 yrs from now we are suffering because of ageme
It is actually doing great regardless of the sanctions and the war it is going through!! Long live to our president and the ppl we didn't extend their hands for help to western sympathizers; Working hand against all the odds !!!! It is just a matter of time when we shame our enemies and shine!!!
Amen
Ma beloved country eritrea peacfuly God bless eritrea one love one nation ....thanks for sharing video Good luck
You're welcome.
Wow what a funky looking city. "Funky" in an interestingly good way. I'm in Rwanda at the moment, been travelling around and living in East Africa for just over a year. Going to Uganda next for a month or so, then back to Kenya for a few months. Ethiopia definitely on my list but now seeing Eritrea, I might have to make a stop there too...
You’ll enjoy your city to Eritrea.
Don't go to Eritrea because There are killers not leaders Eritrea is African north Korea Most people left because the Slavery in Eritrea if you ask question you are gone people are so afraid anyway Eritrea is unknown most slave African country of Totalitarian group By the way no water no light no freedom no Internet No question to ask
@JayPiper UnEdited Don't forget to visit a place called "MEDEBER". You will be suprised by the industriousness of the Eritrean public.
Good idea. Thanks for the recommendation.
Good Job. bring more from them
Thanks, I’ll post more.
Thank you bro! It has been 13 years since I saw Asmara 😥
I am waiting for your videos from your visit to keren and masawa as well.
Yes, the next videos are coming.
Grazie che hai caricato la nostra amata Asmara♥️ anche se tanto invecchiata e trascurata 😥
Con tutto ciò che ha passato, prima la guerra di 30 anni poi gli perfidi nostri vicini (tigray)che non hanno mai smesso di odiarci.purtroppo.anche il dittatore ha fatto il resto facendo scappare i giovani Eritrei così per non avere possibili opposizioni 😥
Povera bellissima Eritrea Dio ti sostenga e ti benedica🙏🇪🇷❤️♥️♥️
Beautiful Asmara
Prina di tutto ti vorrei corregere non abiamo un dittarore abiano un patriota che ha dedicato la sua vita per il suo paese e popolo grazie a lui e anche al notro eroico popolo tutti i nemici degli 🇪🇷 e 🇪🇷. They can stay where you belong. Percio Asmara e 🇪🇷 e degli🇪🇷 e amici degli 🇪🇷.
Mijn schoonfamilie is Eritrees. Ik hou van mijn vrouw maar jullie land en regering is de meest verotte plek op aarde
Stuck on time, empty sreets, old buildings, can be a wonderful experience for tourists but for us this is painful.
Yeah, I can understand you. Everything has it's pros and cons. Thanks for the comment.
Hi Jay, I hope you enjoyed your trip. I ask that you keep in mind the context of the country you’re visiting, the type of government there, the policies, the mass exodus out, the indefinite military conscription, the authoritarian government, & the unelected dictator of 31 years. Keep that in mind, & it might shed some light on some of the sentiments in these comments, and the state of the country when you visited. Happy travels :)
There are a lot of factors involved I see. Thanks for pointing it out.
@@JaysWorldTravelsmy pleasure, I’m also glad you were able to travel to eritrea & produce this for us. I also enjoyed how you roamed freely & openly spoke to the locals asking questions, it gave the whole video a candid & honest feel.
Stay away yeah agame we loosing everything because of you pupper of western you forget everything you did 20 yrs sanction 50 yrs war Please take care about your family .
Jay thank you so much
We need more tourists

I hope you can visit your home country again soon.
@@JaysWorldTravels this summer hopefully!!
Good job my friend! I’m 1/2 Eritrean and Ethiopian but grew up in Addis ET also living in setae now. But whatever you saw true and it’s too hard to believe it right? Thanks for your time and telling the truth. You are a good man and spread the truth! Take care and be safe!
I just say what I saw. I’m a humble traveler, who likes meeting locals wherever I travel to. It felt like meeting family when visiting Eritrea because they were so friendly.
Thanks shearing may beautiful country Asemera 🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷
You’re welcome
My friend, why did you keep the video hidden for more than four years? Well, I am glad you gave us a video tour of the nation of Eritrea...🔔🇪🇷🙏
I was busy traveling until 2020. Now I have time to post my videos.
@@JaysWorldTravelsohh was filmed 4 years back! I hope you enjoyed Asmara. Did you know Bar Tre Stelle means three stars? The seniors enjoy coffee there and there was an eritv video about it recently.
It's a SHAME that after ALL this country has endured and survived, it will NEVER show any signs of progress so long as the DICTATORSHIP continues to rule the nation!!! Eritrea NEEDS a complete government overhaul with a NEW & YOUNG leadership following with a DEMOCRATIC government and TRUE FREEDOM to all!!! IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE!! ERITREAN PEOPLE DESERVE IT!!!! GOD BLESS ERITREA🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
We can only hope for the best.
@@milla411 wake up! wake up!don’t be so ignorant to THE TRUTH I know the truth hurts! Be part of the solution and DO NOT support the problem if you “really care” about the innocent people of Eritrea 🇪🇷!! The President (the devil 👿) and his government MUST GO!!! GOD Bless Eritrea 🇪🇷🙏🏾💕
The conversation the people were having in the car 🚗 😂. Just hilarious but personal stuff.
Don't blame him, his English language is not good enough to communicate. I don't think the driver to ignore him.

@@JaysWorldTravels 🙏🏿 thanks. I'm glad you like it. You are very welcome anytime you wanna visit 🇪🇷 and i appreciated you for this fantastic video and how you interact with the people in Eritrea 💙 peace to you until the next video 🙏🏿
Hey brother, please use some sort of musical background to remove the conversations that the taxi cab driver and the lady were having. The driver and the lady that was seated in the front were talking about personal matter that they don’t want anyone to listen to. So, please be considerate about other people’s personal privacy. First, ask them if they want to be videotaped. Second, blur their faces. It’s not ethical to brandish people’s private life to the public. And they don’t have any idea that you will upload it to TH-cam. I hope you understand and be respectful to any country’s culture and traditions.
Seconding this.
I was about to say the same thing. He responded to every comment but not yours. He doesn't get it still😡. It shows he is not considering to edit it.
I was thinking the something and I don’t think they know that he was recording 😮
@@Eri_Bella Chill bro! There’s no need to be rude. I’m sure he’s Considerate enough not to show the lady’s face. Given the fact that he doesn’t even understand the language you can tell it was not done intentionally.
@@sebkedem9410 He needs to understand that being culturally humble and respectful society, and actually nice people to others, doesn’t make us a foolish society. We have a great tradition in our country that gives foreigners a great deal of respect. However, that shouldn’t be translated into saying that we don’t know anything. They could have snatched his camera and get him out of the country. But that’s not what we stand for. You can see the driver wasn’t too comfortable when he saw that he was being recorded in plain sight. But, like I said, as a society we are very shy to speak up for our cause, and often we choose to just let it go in order to avoid arguments. I hope he sees this comment thread and edit the video.
