We wouldn't know about how some of the world lives if it wasn't for these documentaries. My heart goes out to the people who live such rugged lives. In my 77 years I have always known clean water, showers, enough food, not having to live in such heat, and good transportation. Thanks to the producers of this documentary who went to great lengths to bring it to us.
You have known those privileges due to European Western civilisation, the very civilisation the globalists are trying to destroy with mass migration from third world countries. It is absolutely appalling what they are trying to do to Western countries.
It's always good to see how these people live , a holiday there is good for everyone, but often you just see the tourist places the places they want you to see, but if you can find a local you can trust to show you other sights It's normally worth every penny
Mr journalist is good job, learning a long journey like thise, my mother is one this people. I understand how she is struggling to help my school food.
I live in Brazil. I find these documentaries very special. They make us learn a true geography and also the human efforts to overcome and survive. Congratulations.
I am an old man living in Japan. I remember Mr. Abebe Bikila was a marathoner from Ethiopia who won two gold medals at the 1960 Olympics in Rome and the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, the first two gold medals in a row in history. I also remember that the Ethiopian emperor and the Japanese emperor were very close at that time.
I love these documentaries. They are so informative and really well produced. I'm so glad I can sit here in my room and be exposed to such amazing cultures. Thanks for uploading them. Please keep up the fantastic work.
I used to take this train from Addis to Dire Dawa some 26 years ago. It was quite an adventure. In one occasion the train broke in the desert between wolenchiti and awash. We waited 10+ hours to get it repaired. The journey was always safe though! friendly people all the way, lots of fruits to taste. Thanks for showing us this!

I have been blessed to travel to AyÍ Cherie several times. I dare to say some parts of Haiti is almost as poor as this country looks. The church in Haiti helps as many people as it can. Praise God. The landscape is not as bad as this. Many crops have been cultivated there. And countries such as Cuba and USA are able to help. The crime in Haiti is deplorable. Even the government in Haiti is criminal. Haiti needs good healthcare,education is a must. And salaries to keep educated people in Haiti. God bless you all. This documentary was amazing to see. I would imagine those who filmed this were up against many dangers themselves. God bless.

When I see such documentaries, I think that given the smallest opportunity, such people could do astounding things. It's like there's so much pent-up ingenuity and desire to thrive, waiting for an opportunity to unleash its power. Those of us in developed countries, where we take things like water supply, safe roads and automobiles, public transport, and a living wage for granted... have probably lost much of the survival skills and adaptability of people like the Ethiopians. If we swapped places, I suspect the Ethiopians would do far better in our countries - with all the resources laid on and a milder climate - than we would in theirs.
Can we stop pretending that it’s anything less than a circus in these places, and that’s being kind. You have it backwards my friend we once tamed the sea and untamed land, built and invented. Literally everything you just said we don’t have, we most certainly do, as proof in our great nation.

That is because we have MADE it easy. Except for a few cities in Africa that got rich of selling ressources for dirt cheap, most parts of the continent still run on 50-100 year old tech left by Westerners. They are completely dependend on outside aid and exploting themselves and their natural ressources for a cheap buck. Political leadership is incompetent and/or corrupt and the people are stuck in an endless circle of misery. Africa sure was put in its place by outside powers, the West in the past and China now, but it still being exploited

My heart goes out to the beautiful people of Ethiopia. For a continent that is so rich, they should not have transverse through the country like so. I hope that soon things will become better for all of Africa. The land is too rich to be in that condition.

pretty sure you mean thank the CHINESE government. African leaders are selling your nations infrastructure to the Chinese who will then use it to exploit Africa of its riches even more efficiantly. And unlike the West, who doesnt mind if an African country doesnt pay its debt, the Chinese will collect collaterals, thats how they got a lot of land in Africa, they often didnt BUY it, they just gave credits to corrupt leaders, knowing full well they will never pay them back and then they just collected the collaterals from those credits.
I lived in Djibouti in the 60's. We used to go to Harar for R&R, because it's a lot cooler than Djibouti. I was only a kid, but I have absolutely wonderful memories of these trips. Of course, we always went to see "Hyena man" and his flock (must have been his great grandfather, at least 😂). I am glad to see that he's still popular! Harar looks a lot bigger now. My favorite memory: I was there with my best friend and his parents, and we - picture 2 cheeky French kids - walked to the emperor's stables and asked, without much hope, if we could go for a ride. The very next morning, there were gorgeous Arabian horses waiting for us at the hotel, along with a guide and his horse. We spent a fantastic day riding from one small village to another. Food and drinks were ready for us at each stop. The next day, my friend's parents told us to go back to the stables and thank our guide properly with a large bakshish. Imagine our faces when our "stable boy" came to meet us in full uniform. He was obviously a highly ranked officer, and we were totally mortified 😅. This is a small example of the hospitality we encountered in Ethiopia. I also went back to Djibouti on the old train featured in the documentary. It was in good shape back then. The crew took great pleasure in letting us know that the heavy bars on the window were there in order to keep the lions out if the train had to stop at night. To this day, I don't know if it was a joke. I didn't get off in the middle of the desert. Just in case 😂. Thank you for the great documentary!
Same thing happened to my American brother in-law. He visited us in 2005 as my central Ugandan culture demands. He travelled to northern Uganda. After years of him living and traveling around Africa, he has since been very appreciative of life. Initially he didn't as our family was well to do but the realities of Africa as he travelled and got stuck here and there😅got to him he'd come back home humbled. He has since written books and made videos about his experiences. It's good to travel, it changes your view of life! Good or bad
Best documentary channel for sure and this kind of documents can make a difference on the government plans for the nation development and at the same time i always proud to be an Ethiopian
This was an amazing documentary! Priceless! Traindrivers repairing the locomotive with some piece of wood they picked up along the track. That´s creative.
What amazes me is that you can travel so far into the desert that nobody would ever find you again. The culture is so different and there is very little money. It would interest me to go to a place like this but I would soon tire of it.
I can relate to the Peugeot car. I had a 403 as a teenager, it had a sunroof. We took it to a reservation and took turns driving it while seated on the roof, legs through the sunroof steering it with our feet. Amazing we lived.
My first car as a teenager in South Africa was the Peugeot 404 the same as in the beginning of the documentary. Bulletproof engine, but the car rusted out fast.
I am eternally grateful that I was born and raised in the UK. I see so many videos from non western countries and it looks like a real struggle, basic amenities missing, I do not know what that feels like.
I learned to drive in a Peugeot 404. I was a 13 yr old American in a British all-boys school, but my dad was Ambassador to Guinea. So, during a break, in 1965, I was flown down there - and started driving in Conakry. I wish I had a 404 now.
Nice documentary on the old Ethio france railway. But am really sad to see this great company left to die as you can see it in this video. It was one of the top companies in Ethiopia in its time. You can read in Wikipedia that 70% off goods used to get into the country via this route. Now the the only tracks operating are Dire Dawa to Dewele. And the company is almost dead though we can hear the siren ringing for workers and few employers get in and out. Not really sure what they are doing inide. It is a pain for the whole country especially Dire Dawa to see it die like this which was the bread and butter of so many people. Though a new electric train is built from Addis to Djbouti, the old could have continued functioning if there was the heart 😟☹😟
" The Vancouver-based mineral exploration company, East Africa Metals, has asked the Ethiopian Ministry of Mines, Petroleum and Natural Gas to be given large scale mining license that enables it to produce gold and silver minerals in the Tigrai Regional State. " - This is everything you need to know about the causes of poverty in Africa . CAPITALISM !
"It's a quality French car" - A phrase I never thought I would hear. These people are so strong. I'm so thankful for what I have and my family. The struggles these Ethiopians go through is so difficult. I can't imagine people here in America being able to adapt so flexibly.
I admire the people of Ethiopia, they really struggle to survive. They don't mind or complain the hardships. Does the government cannot do anything to improve the way of living of its people? They are very backward such a pity.
Documentaries focus on bad sides of a country. This what they(Western) show to the rest of the world. Come to Ethiopia and see in your own eyes. You will be amazed

False information warning! At 10:56 the narrator says "Almost all Ethiopians chew on these little, bitter testing leaves." This is a COMPLETELY FALSE information. As an Ethiopian, I was shocked to hear this from "Best Documentary". You should check your facts and apologize to the more than 100 mil people of Ethiopia.
Well I've heard that people in Nigeria are happier than they are in the UK or USA. Seems that people are happier with far less in the way they don't have all these iPhones, social media, expensive possessions, loads of rules and PC shit all the time.
You mean 50 celcuis not 50 F still baffles me how much Africa is left behind they are all full of resources and yet no roads no rail roads where does all that money go Africans should be living like kings and queens not in poverty it saddens me to my core to see this and yet feel so powerless to help if I could ever help I would..
These are great documentaries. What a magical old train. One can't imaging trains built these times working after 100 years. It's so regrettable that the railways don't have proper workshop repair and rescue arrangements. Even screw re-treading tools. Engineers can do anything.
In the northern Ethiopia in most Amhara and Tgrae people, Chat is a drug stuff. No family is allowed to chewing it. If my father see me chatting, he might punish me unforgivable punishment. Even no money in my hand in my childhood time. There was no reason to have money in my possession 🤔Whereas in western Ethiopia, children has money and connection to business in their early age. That might expose them to practice for such drug stuff situation. The family Life culture is too loosen and exposed.
India 🇮🇳 had similar conditions few years back…now things have changed & India 🇮🇳 has best trains in the region now… but looking at these people…it feels bad…they are our brothers who are left behind
This is a wonderful documentary. A small correction: the documentary claims that an Ethiopian railway built in 1917 is 'the oldest in Africa'. However, Egypt's oldest railway dates from 1854, while South Africa's oldest service dates from 1859 (1860 for passenger service).
Ya I observed that too. Also our east African railway doesn't differ much from Ethiopia as it's the same region. So it can't be the oldest even though it is among
Very nice documentary. I pity them, their government doesn't look into basic service like railways and roads. It's an issue in all developing countries around the globe
A developing country is the one that is developing. Ethiopia by all means is an under-developed country and clearly the governments have not focussed on providing basic amenities to the people. Over population does not help as well.
Can relate to the Isuzu diesel truck, one tough engine if a bit slow--currently have a car with the zuzu 1.5 non turbo -- slow but will run on veg oil/kero as well as diesel, A great documentary and so humbling.
I think this footage was taken 15 years ago because this rail road stopped working before 2009 GC. Please don't misinform your viewers by uploading old videos like this.

While the Pentagon is allowed by the two allowed parties, unconditional unlimited access to the people's treasury ? But agreed , these videos make us in the more 'developed' nations appreciate more what we have ,and take things less for granted.
@@jackwitman8504 you got it wrong American,we might be deprived of your luxuries though we don't need them.people here are more friendly, happy and contended.No industrial scale depression,divorces,suicide acts, homelessness.
we ethiopians never believe the mattter of life is luxury.. we believe in happiness, we are very happy by our gifts, we have a good social life, nature so we appreciate our life style even if there is challenge.
People here in America and other developed countries have no idea how good they have it. Small things we take for granted are someone’s prayer out there.
Bùt. They re healthy
Loving this one thank's for sharing very important information giving blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
I live in Kenya and I have to admit when it comes to roads our government has really helped us.
Kenyan roads the best in world
@@johnwanjala4311 lmfao tell that to the Germans or the Swiss
@@icykickflip I can assure you that German roads are NOT very good nowadays... the government is out of money and many roads here are in very poor conditions (compared to other european countries)...
@@icykickflip LOL, you must be joking
pretty sure you mean thank the CHINESE government. African leaders are selling your nations infrastructure to the Chinese who will then use it to exploit Africa of its riches even more efficiantly. And unlike the West, who doesnt mind if an African country doesnt pay its debt, the Chinese will collect collaterals, thats how they got a lot of land in Africa, they often didnt BUY it, they just gave credits to corrupt leaders, knowing full well they will never pay them back and then they just collected the collaterals from those credits.
I saw my mom in the train 😢😢 i think this video recorded before 20years. Rip my beloved mom😢😢
yes ir is an old video but describing like it's near....rest in peace to your mother bro.
Rest in peace 😢😢👪
I was stationed in Djibouti in 04. I've never complained about how bad it was in America since
I lived in Djibouti in the 60's. We used to go to Harar for R&R, because it's a lot cooler than Djibouti. I was only a kid, but I have absolutely wonderful memories of these trips. Of course, we always went to see "Hyena man" and his flock (must have been his great grandfather, at least 😂). I am glad to see that he's still popular! Harar looks a lot bigger now. My favorite memory: I was there with my best friend and his parents, and we - picture 2 cheeky French kids - walked to the emperor's stables and asked, without much hope, if we could go for a ride. The very next morning, there were gorgeous Arabian horses waiting for us at the hotel, along with a guide and his horse. We spent a fantastic day riding from one small village to another. Food and drinks were ready for us at each stop. The next day, my friend's parents told us to go back to the stables and thank our guide properly with a large bakshish. Imagine our faces when our "stable boy" came to meet us in full uniform. He was obviously a highly ranked officer, and we were totally mortified 😅. This is a small example of the hospitality we encountered in Ethiopia. I also went back to Djibouti on the old train featured in the documentary. It was in good shape back then. The crew took great pleasure in letting us know that the heavy bars on the window were there in order to keep the lions out if the train had to stop at night. To this day, I don't know if it was a joke. I didn't get off in the middle of the desert. Just in case 😂. Thank you for the great documentary!
Same thing happened to my American brother in-law. He visited us in 2005 as my central Ugandan culture demands. He travelled to northern Uganda. After years of him living and traveling around Africa, he has since been very appreciative of life. Initially he didn't as our family was well to do but the realities of Africa as he travelled and got stuck here and there😅got to him he'd come back home humbled. He has since written books and made videos about his experiences. It's good to travel, it changes your view of life! Good or bad
@@lazyscorpion3889 I swam off the coast and went into town once as once was enough. I got some black market goods and that was that
Wow, that works to lower expectation to life.
@@younghsu7570 I drank the water there on a dare. I got really sick for a week. I did get 60$ which was worth a week of the runs
Best documentary channel for sure and this kind of documents can make a difference on the government plans for the nation development and at the same time i always proud to be an Ethiopian
I loved the part where the engineer got the train running with a piece of wood!
Me took. So adventurous
Staged, like 90% of these "documentaries"
🙌🙌🙌🙌 to the crew and everyone who made this possible thank you👊👊 solid reggae music💚
Thank you for your woderful and great documetaries. And I feel a lot of regret for ethiopian's unfortunate situation. God bless them!
This was an amazing documentary! Priceless! Traindrivers repairing the locomotive with some piece of wood they picked up along the track. That´s creative.
Excellent documentary, I can imagine the immense efforts for the production of this priceless documentary. Appreciate it if.
Bless you all
my dearest people ..
From Tunisian to Ethiopian tsobok tsobok .
This looks like my country 40 years ago although it not better today either, it just looks a bit fancier
What amazes me is that you can travel so far into the desert that nobody would ever find you again. The culture is so different and there is very little money. It would interest me to go to a place like this but I would soon tire of it.
Ethiopia has one of the oldest cultures on the planet ...it's a fascinating country with much history and beauty 👍
I can relate to the Peugeot car. I had a 403 as a teenager, it had a sunroof. We took it to a reservation and took turns driving it while seated on the roof, legs through the sunroof steering it with our feet. Amazing we lived.
The 405 was unreliable
Good times 😃
My first car as a teenager in South Africa was the Peugeot 404 the same as in the beginning of the documentary. Bulletproof engine, but the car rusted out fast.
I took that train in 1992, from Addis to Djibouti. It was great.
how mush time and how many kilometer
I blessed the trains back in Africa
You must been a spy for whites, Only to Rob theor resources
Before or after the Somali wars ?
The first railway in Africa. Cape Town South Africa 1859
I love my country, Ethiopia 🇪🇹
i love too. unique country
@@dark3zzoh yea why did you not stay in England 😂
Outstanding. What a guy - fixes the turbo in place with a piece of wooden stick. Excellent!
I am eternally grateful that I was born and raised in the UK. I see so many videos from non western countries and it looks like a real struggle, basic amenities missing, I do not know what that feels like.
I can imagine wh so many people want to come to Europe.. this place is a hell hole for the most of them!
That was kind, the man paying for the lady and her child ✌
I learned to drive in a Peugeot 404. I was a 13 yr old American in a British all-boys school, but my dad was Ambassador to Guinea. So, during a break, in 1965, I was flown down there - and started driving in Conakry. I wish I had a 404 now.
Well narrated documentary. Really awesome teamwork!
🎉🎉
AWESOME PRESENTATION FOLKS... KEEP 'EM COMING, PLEASE...!
The humbleness of each makes me appreciate my life
Merry Christmas to you all
U too
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas again but happy new year today 2023
Nice documentary on the old Ethio france railway. But am really sad to see this great company left to die as you can see it in this video. It was one of the top companies in Ethiopia in its time. You can read in Wikipedia that 70% off goods used to get into the country via this route. Now the the only tracks operating are Dire Dawa to Dewele. And the company is almost dead though we can hear the siren ringing for workers and few employers get in and out. Not really sure what they are doing inide. It is a pain for the whole country especially Dire Dawa to see it die like this which was the bread and butter of so many people. Though a new electric train is built from Addis to Djbouti, the old could have continued functioning if there was the heart 😟☹😟
They will go back to using a technology they can handle: the camel
I really love these, favorite show on TH-cam
you really worked hard to show just the poor parts of Ethiopia
Doesn’t look hard
" The Vancouver-based mineral exploration company, East Africa Metals, has asked the Ethiopian Ministry of Mines, Petroleum and Natural Gas to be given large scale mining license that enables it to produce gold and silver minerals in the Tigrai Regional State. " - This is everything you need to know about the causes of poverty in Africa . CAPITALISM !
"It's a quality French car" - A phrase I never thought I would hear. These people are so strong. I'm so thankful for what I have and my family. The struggles these Ethiopians go through is so difficult. I can't imagine people here in America being able to adapt so flexibly.
One of the most exciting things that you can learn about the world
Brill documentary with a smooth easy to understand voiceover. The subject was absorbing and educational, thank you.
Beautiful people in a beautiful country 💖
I wish i gather people from around the world and work together to bring change in life's of these people
I admire the people of Ethiopia, they really struggle to survive. They don't mind or complain the hardships. Does the government cannot do anything to improve the way of living of its people? They are very backward such a pity.
Documentaries focus on bad sides of a country. This what they(Western) show to the rest of the world. Come to Ethiopia and see in your own eyes. You will be amazed
A lovely film.
I agree. This was a lovely film.
Life in other parts of Africa is really a struggle, I'm in South Africa and i thought I knew about struggle but no we don't have such struggles.
Thanks to the Afrikaans ?!
You have the most unfair racial inequality of wealth ownership in the history of mankind. That situation needs an epic struggle to be fixed

Excellent documentary. Congratulations, here from Brazil!
Not all Ethiopians eat the leaf😅 because me and my family's never seen this leaf!
Where abouts in Ethiopia do you live
Ghat we eat in kenya anyway missing africa🌍
We need a train line from Somalia to Ethiopia and Djibouti it will make these economics connected as result more successful
not all but many do, seems like youre in the rich part of ethiopia

ik heb nog maar een stukje gekeken to minuut 13 ongeveer, en ik geef het nu al een like.
Ben moe en ga slapen, kijk daarna wel verder! Boeit me alleszins X
One of the best documentary I ever watched! Fantastic
Tear, Tear, I'm sooooooooooooooooooooo in love with the Darling, ❤️🌹Beautiful People plus their cultures, apparels and adventures. They are adorable and hard working, Bless them all, 🙏🛐Amen. The fight over prices was 😮😱🤣🥺🤓🤗🤩hilarious, thank 🤙 you. I'm still watching, pausing at 13:13 to comment.🙃😊
I like that trolley on ball-bearings. I carry water in canisters every day to pigeons to the second floor w/o any ladder.
Bless you
Thanks for this document,it is good to know and learn more about others countries
This very educational, and my grandchildren are more appreciative for living in the United States
False information warning! At 10:56 the narrator says "Almost all Ethiopians chew on these little, bitter testing leaves." This is a COMPLETELY FALSE information. As an Ethiopian, I was shocked to hear this from "Best Documentary". You should check your facts and apologize to the more than 100 mil people of Ethiopia.
Love how everyone is happy!! Loved it!!
Happy at being so poor?
Well I've heard that people in Nigeria are happier than they are in the UK or USA. Seems that people are happier with far less in the way they don't have all these iPhones, social media, expensive possessions, loads of rules and PC shit all the time.
Best documentary channel!! ❤️❤️🖤🖤
Best documentary channel ❤❤❤❤❤
That train is an upgrade from those trucks by far! Trucks break down all the time.
And the train doesn't?
Best view of this stories.... your documentaries give to me more adventures as I was there !! Thanks my Friends! 😋😉😇
That Peugeot looks fantastic compared to the Toyota in the Kameroon episode
اهلنا الأثيوبيين الشعب المسحوق الله يقلب حالكم للأفضل
It is an older documentary. I was 5 years (2017) ago in Ethiopia and this train was already replaced by an new one built by Chinese.
😬
Documentaries like this not only inform, but highlights the human spirit and integrity. That train is organized chaos! 😮
Do one featuring Timmy, and his adventures in a hood gas station trying to but milk 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 DETROIT OR CHICAGO 🍼🍼🍼⛽⛽⛽🤣🤣🤣
You mean 50 celcuis not 50 F still baffles me how much Africa is left behind they are all full of resources and yet no roads no rail roads where does all that money go Africans should be living like kings and queens not in poverty it saddens me to my core to see this and yet feel so powerless to help if I could ever help I would..
These are great documentaries.
What a magical old train. One can't imaging trains built these times working after 100 years.
It's so regrettable that the railways don't have proper workshop repair and rescue arrangements. Even screw re-treading tools. Engineers can do anything.
God please take care of these people 😢😢😢. It’s so dangerous and here in America, sometimes we complaint when we really have everything.
It's hard for us here.... with no teacher I practiced 12hours a day to learn how to play a guitar. You are lucky and blessed in your places.
I am from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 I love my country
Go back. They need you to make better roads.
@@johnbarron4843 what makes you think he is not in Ethiopia?
Volte para lá então
I'm glad I live in America
Am in Kenya it reminds me when pegeout was used as public service vihicles in the 70s and 80s which were very comfortable and speedy.nice documentary.
In the northern Ethiopia in most Amhara and Tgrae people, Chat is a drug stuff. No family is allowed to chewing it. If my father see me chatting, he might punish me unforgivable punishment. Even no money in my hand in my childhood time. There was no reason to have money in my possession 🤔Whereas in western Ethiopia, children has money and connection to business in their early age. That might expose them to practice for such drug stuff situation. The family Life culture is too loosen and exposed.
India 🇮🇳 had similar conditions few years back…now things have changed & India 🇮🇳 has best trains in the region now…
but looking at these people…it feels bad…they are our brothers who are left behind
Very very well made and narrated.
Ok, thanks tác giả. Những năm 1977-1987 tại Việt Nam cũng như thế này các Bác ạ.
This is a wonderful documentary. A small correction: the documentary claims that an Ethiopian railway built in 1917 is 'the oldest in Africa'. However, Egypt's oldest railway dates from 1854, while South Africa's oldest service dates from 1859 (1860 for passenger service).
Ya I observed that too. Also our east African railway doesn't differ much from Ethiopia as it's the same region. So it can't be the oldest even though it is among
well those land were under the British empire so they did not account as a sovereign African nation. If you get my meaning!
They should show these documentaries in schools so the kids can see how others live, and be a bit more grateful for what they have.
Very nice documentary. I pity them, their government doesn't look into basic service like railways and roads. It's an issue in all developing countries around the globe
A developing country is the one that is developing. Ethiopia by all means is an under-developed country and clearly the governments have not focussed on providing basic amenities to the people. Over population does not help as well.
Can relate to the Isuzu diesel truck, one tough engine if a bit slow--currently have a car with the zuzu 1.5 non turbo -- slow but will run on veg oil/kero as well as diesel, A great documentary and so humbling.
I. Love ethiopia from india
What do you love about them ? Their suffering or struggle to survive ?
I think this footage was taken 15 years ago because this rail road stopped working before 2009 GC. Please don't misinform your viewers by uploading old videos like this.
