- Today we are exploring a town in Kampala Uganda where habashes say the Ethiopians, Eritreans and Somalis decided to settle. The town is just 5km from the city center of Kampala. #trending #travel #uganda #ethiopia #eritrea #somalia #ancientclub
Kabalagala is my home town next to Addis Ababa. I lived there for 7 months before I moved to Canada in 2021. As you mentioned, it appears to be the home town of many Habesha and Somali people as well. Given that you guys have amazing hospitality, it is not a surprise if someone prefers Kampala to Nairobi for immigration. In fact, that is why many Habeshas love Kampala all in all. I never forget other localities such as Kololo, Nakulabi, Naguru, Kibuli, Bunga, Soya, Kasanga, etc. Overall, you never feel alienated in Kampala. You respect everyone and I suppose, you deserve much gratitude for such a noble virtue. I hope, one day, I will be back to visit my former village, Kabalagala, and appreciate the nature of Mignogno once more.
Many thanks as you gave me an opportunity to look back part of my life's journey through your youtube.
I wish to see a prosperous Uganda.
That's right and thanks for appreciating.... really when i see Foreigners i never see them as outsiders and I'm sure that's how all Ugandans are.
I’m just curious - what’s the difference btw Somali and Habesha?
@@stephanieadams9702 bro it is like saying kikuya and baganda
We thank God for the gift of hospitality though not all of us.
@esthernakaye4241 yes true
This means Ugandans are great people. From Ethiopia ❤️❤️
They are..
The Ugandan peoples are very welcoming and hospitable people like Sudanese people.
UGANDA IS THE CENTER OF MAMMA AFRICA NOW
EVERYBODY LOVE UGANDA
Yes true that
I am Proud of Uganda Congratulations from West Africa We are all Africans Africa is our Homeland
Indeed.... thanks for watching
well said. All Africans should live in any African country peacefully.
@@eskihaile8246 true
Uganda is the best I was lived in kampala 13 years around TMT supermarket Muyenga I miss uganda ❤
Thanks 🙏
It’s good to know . Is true majority of Ugandan people are not happy with Mr. Museveni ?
Uganda 🇺🇬 pearl of Africa 🌍 great country with great people you can make friend in blink of an eye.l miss Uganda while am in my home town Mogadishu.
Thanks for loving Uganda 🇺🇬 bro
I'm Ethiopian and this is amazed me i didn't know so many Ethiopians are living in Uganda 💙
Sure, yes they are many
Why are many Ethiopians and Eritreans people leaving their home countries in large numbers?
@@stephanieadams9702 i don't know bro !
we love that the uganda community is very comfortable and friendly
I was born rised around that area and the Ethiopians and Somalis actually bring something special in that area as a Ugandan am so glad they are there ❤
That's right.... they are really humble people
Habesha people are peaceful, they do not engage in anti community or activities that harm society. Those people you see in the street, they are tired of war and being conscript for life in their country of origin. They stick together because they cannot live without cultural food injera and they are highly social people they enjoy each others company. Most of them I would say they are in transition to western Europe or North America. Thanks for sharing the video.
Amazing.... thanks for watching too
This is the truth!
@isaacabraham6130 yes it is
This place really looks good, thanks for taking us around
Thank you too
I went to Kampala last year and i rented a big guest house in kabala gala i love that area
It's a good neighborhood
Man i like the way u talk in the video n this so clear, no filters, god bless your work, can u bring us matugga town and semuto road if u can, plz
I appreciate brother 🙏 yes I can do that... just wait for it
I appreciate brother 🙏 yes I can do that... just wait for it
That’s true, the prefer staying closely connected with each other
True 😊
Sure thing... thanks for watching
Why are locals (natives) are complaining about taking over ? I suspect, most of thèse Somali, Eritrean, Sudanese, Ethiopian brings businesses to Uganda.
Starting @1:21 on the big building it is written “David” in Amharic!
Thanks for this
Grate comentary this place is turning to a little Ethiopia
Thanks for watching
It is actually Eritreans more than Ethiopians ìn Kabalaga.
So what
Lol “ little Ethiopia “ I’m okay with name Habesha than the Greek names.
I think its a good idea to group yourself in area
Right, not bad at all...
Nice content
Thanks for appreciating ☺️
Nice video
Thanks
Nice Vodeo
Thanks for the visit
This place really looks good, last year I was get chance to visit Kabala
Really... that's amazing
Use it as advantage no one have like this source of advantage more of those refugees have money not staying in camps its better to development of a country they are source of income ❤
Please tell us more 🙏
@7:48 left side it is written both in Amharic and English “Habesha Lounge”
👍
Also at 1:20 there is ዳዊት "Dawit”
The Arabs have also joined from northern Sudan.
Very true, even places like Bbunga and Kalungu
9:56 Shell had a promotion,
Uganda the transit haven for Somalis going to the US and Canada 😊
Ummh... really?
@@ancientclub438 90% of these ethiopian eritrean somalis are waiting sponsership from westren countries when one group left other come but not for pemrnent to stay in uganda
I wonder what Ethiopians doing in Uganda? Is there a job opportunity? Or is there a good transit to make it to Europe???what is it ?
Come on..
As Somali-Ethiopian diapora in North America for many decades, I have never been any in other mother african country in my life. Looks the place has lot of dusty red soil like in most of neglect African cities and towns that makes polishing your shoes every few hours especially when it got either too dry or too wet and muddy.. Other than that it seems okay. Wearing khaki dress and safari boots are the best gear for that kind of environ I presume.
Uganda has a number of challenges having dusty roads inclusive, but also welcoming.... that's why many of your brothers are seen growing up in the suburbs of the country.
With all the challenges people face in life in this part of Africa and you are worried about dust shoes?
I’ve lived in North America for the past 35 years and now living in Malindi, Kenya. I must say brother come and visit Africa. You’ll enjoy the food, weather and the friendly faces that greats you all the time.
@greatspead1363 Maan tell him
@@greatspead1363 Don't get me wrong bro! I went back to Ethiopia and Somalia often in the last 10 years and I can feel the atmospher of welcoming commnal aspect , easy going life and and all that. I completely agree with and there is nothing like homestead home. But at same time, I desperate when see lot of negligence and wrong headed public survices do to curruption, incompetence, dereliction of duty, etc. starting from local admin to national institutions everywhere like healthcare, education, roads and public tranport and so on. It seems as if things sliding back to 20 and 30 years .The reason I mention this in that context. Mind you, I read from somewhere that Uganda was way ahead developmentally and every other socio-economic aspects than, for example Malaysia or South Korea, in 1960s when both were coming from the yoke of colonialism scrounge, but today they are not even close or comparable. One might wonder what went wrong.
You are asking what went wrong??? Very simple The number of wars we have faced you can not expect development like the 2 countries you are comparing us with.
Look at Kenya and Tanzania who have never faced wars since their independence they are now far ahead.
Despite the challenges we have the biggest influx of people from all over and that isn’t an easy task. Tanzania doesn’t allow such. So instead give back to Ug by praying for it.
My Question do the Eritrians, Ethiopians, and Somalis welcome ugandans the same way ????
That's the bravest question i saw here today. I would really want to hear an answer from a Ugandan that went there, but from the way I see... they must be really very welcoming
@ancientclub438 most people in the video were somali, but i understood you said you can't see the difference between the horner's which is very understandable. Also, i saw people in the comments assuming were different race than other Africans but that's not true. we are all Africans and proud
Thanks Faiza, but all this literally means one love ❤️.... showing this can attract other people from different countries when they know Uganda is really welcoming.
@Faiza, Wrong! I its NOT hard for Ugandans to tell the difference because we are all neighbors...religious and cultural, facial bone structure wise the difference is obvious ...am habesha, the majority people in this video are Ethio-Eritreans. I have lived in Kbalagala for few months I can tell for sure there are habesha in that town all the way to kasanga and gaba...On the other land, I have also visited Nairobi, eastlige (E-S-L-E) area, its predominantly somali people there very few habesha...
@@aquagal8645 that's right...
@@ancientclub438 very true
@@aquagal8645 when i said the majority in the video were somali i wasn't guessing, it was facts. because if you look back at the video when his microphone come closer, they were speaking somali a lot of them, i heard somali more than 3x and also you can see they was wearing the somali bracelet. it is what it is
thanks for the video but the term is "Habesha", not "Habashe" as you kept stating
Oh thank you brother.... wasn't also Sure of the pronunciation
A very common thing between Erhiopians, Eritreans, and Somalis is that they are all part of the Afro-Asiatic and Semitic ethnic groups unlike Uganda. Why did they plan to settle in Uganda?
Surely that's a good question to ask, they are very different races but I think it's the hospitality and treatment Uganda give them. It's incredible
I've been to some neighboring countries but the way Uganda treats foreigners is amazing
In Uganda we welcome all people because we have seen what’s being called helpless
I do not understand what your comment is trying to imply here.If white people can live alongside blacks,coloureds, and Indians in south africa then why can't Somalis or Ethiopians live alongside ugandans.
By the way there are Somalis and Ethiopians living in south africa alongside white and black south africans.
The people who supposedly come from the same ethnic group I.e Somalis and Ethiopians donot even get along with each other.
As an Ethiopian I can answer your question but won't ❤
in 2024 you are amazed to see other nationalities and races?
Of course iam 😊
@@ancientclub438 great answer

Abo bonna balira mu kavuyo!

It looks like you are profiling Ethiopians, Eritreans and Somalis in Kabalagala, they are East Africans leave them alone. It may come out that you do not like them, but you could have visited their restaurants and talk to them, ask them their living experience in Uganda. Remember some of them are creating jobs for Ugandans and they pay taxes to Uganda government. Jesus welcomed strangers. Your video could have been informative, if you could have talked to them or used a local person to help or introduce you to them. Just simple advise!
Thanks Peter 😊
Don't be negative minded, he is doing content and not against the people in the society
@@paddytahabwasi47 Tell him. this guy is funny 😁
😢they have a big missions in Uganda. Government knows
Sure?
They have better country!
❤@@shukri114mohammed2
What mission? 😮
Am an Eritrean but we fled coz of the Authoritarian or brutal leader we have that all the world knows (Isaias afewerki) tried to kill and imprison us so we don't have any mission but needs peace and Long live Ugandans and its people.Thanks
As long as they do not get involved in government politics or have right to vote in the Uganda because no foreigner can do the same in their countries. Our ancestors where so lenient and welcoming to the people from Rwanda. Look where that got us, natives are becoming squatters in their own country. Welcoming fellow Africans is okay but have policies that protect natives of the country. Current government favors Ethiopians, Eritreans and Somalis because they are same Asiatic group.
Wow... Thanks for the enlightment
@@ancientclub438 what do you mean by policies that protect the natives? What kind of policies do you have in mind? Even if there was no foreigners every country has squatters and poor people... and what do you mean by the same asiatic group? ALOT of countries welcome refugees which the unchr pays alot of money for,..I really am just curious
@@maryam-cd3gtUganda on record has let in these people than any other African country and the treatment they get is superb so they live comfortably.
@@ancientclub438 are u telling me Uganda has more refugees than Kenya ? I know the treatment is good. I know of Somalis,, money from the diaspora comes to them.. Alot of the Somali people there have family abroad that sends the money, thus earning the country foreign currency..
You go back and live with your ancestors. Africa is uniting and you’re still concerned with antiquities like your grandmothers and grandfather’s lifestyle.
You are wrong bro. Most of them from Somali
How so, from Ethiopian church?
Most Somalis live in kisenyi its the Eritreans who have dominated the whole stretch of Ggaba road
@@lwangafrank2431 true
It is true that a lot of people live in Kiseny, but there is also plenty in this area, and if you look at the statistics, the Somali community is larger than the Eritreans.@@lwangafrank2431
This is not even kabalagala,,this is kansanga
Thanks for watching
I am Eritrea not habescha. The is only Ethiopiaians
Ooh... thanks for the enlightment
Habasa is an ethnic group native to both Eritrea and Ethiopia. Eritrea is a Italian creation, but we are Habasa by blood and heritage.
H
We Eritrean is not habesha ❤ it's for ethiopians
The semitic, Christian highlanders of Ethiopia and Eritrea are collectively refered to as Habesha. These days it basically applies to all Ethiopian and Eritreans but some hard line Eritreans who support the incumbent president Afewerki, want to distance themselves from Habesha to get out of Ethiopian shadow, hence why they deny it.
Thousands of thousands Ugandenese living in Somalia, they have low level jobs, Somalis who live in Uganda go with money, they are students and their families send money to them, but Ugandans in Somalia send money, you should know that.
Sure
bro why you are lying iam somali the people from uganda in somali are 2 groups those who work for the african union peace keepers or well educated people who do jobs that somalis can not do because somalia have been in war for 34 years and education system clapsed so that we needed kenyan and uganda people and most of them are in either in mogadishu or somaliland and puntland state in somalia. somalis in uganda come for sponsorship to western countries or education or medical reason very few for business

This is stupidity of the highest level! first you destroy your shithole then flock to Uganda! You are refugees in our country and you dont want to leave!
This people you show in the video is Somalians and Eritreans appsolitly not Ethiopians 🇪🇹 sir, there's few Ethiopian live in Uganda, but not in big numbers Ethiopians live in Uganda, when it comes in economy Uganda isn't better than Ethiopia, can you imagine you are millionaire in Uganda and go Ethiopia you will find your self with 100,000 Ethiopian birr, I Ethiopian currency 100times stronger than Ugandan currency.
I agree, but it's not only economical issues that drive them to come to Uganda
And that's what many are trying to say here
how do you knew that there are less ethiopians than The others? interms of stability Uganda is better than Ethiopia. That is not the only factor there could be also other factors ethiopians could lead them to live and work in ugand. You dont have to brag about Ethiopia. Mr Bekele
There are many Ethiopians in Kampala. I was one of them before I moved to Canada.
@Samuel, let me ask you something, if things are good in Ethiopia for Ethiopians why are they all over? I dont have to remind you Ethiopians are the most complained about in South Africa...Ethiopian birr is weaker than Eritrean nakfa with the global currency so what is the point you are trying to make?..As we speak the 4 African countries whose economy's are in big decline in Africa are Ghana, Ethiopia, South Africa and Tunisia...it is ok to accept Ethiopia isnt doing well, there is nothing wrong to go to neighboring country to work and do business...
KABALAGARA ISN'T A TOWN
What is it then?
Man, why don't you know thousands of Ugandan live in Somalia and they send money to their country and the do basic jops while Somalian live in uganda are stidents they pay a double fee than Ugandan students rent, and every year we get 100 dollars in student Visa.
😔
very racist !!!
Who is racist?
Please don't call habesha for Eritreans it belong to Ethiopians only . We are totally different people
Ooh really...
so sad how ignorant you are.
You saying ur from Mars or Italians or what ?😅
W. T. F... Ethiopia 🇪🇹 GDP in 2024 is $ 205 billion.. How come Ethiopias🇪🇹 go to Uganda 🇺🇬 which is poor country with GDP of $50 billion.... Ethiopia 🇪🇹 is 3 times richer than Uganda 🇺🇬.....Ethiopias 🇪🇹 econmy is naw double of that of kenya 🇰🇪 let alone Uganda 🇺🇬.... Kenya 🇰🇪 GDP $104billon...... So the migrates in Uganda 🇺🇬 are from very poor countrys like eritrea and Somalia.. Not from Ethiopia 🇪🇹
But fact is, they are here in numbers... there must be some other reason that is not what you think. Thanks for watching please
Government policy
As Eritrean, we migrate coz both politica andl economic reason but more of the first than the later. We never ever wished in a million years we would want to leave our mother country to live and try to survive and to fit in a foreigne land. We would never do that if we had a choice.
It's cheaper to live in Uganda than Ethiopia.
Peace is better than wealthy
UGANDA IS THE CENTER OF MAMMA AFRICA NOW
EVERYBODY LOVE UGANDA
Yes indeed
