Thanks for your work of exploring Africa (Ethiopia). Can be a master piece of document for anyone interested to overview Ethiopia in less than an hour. I greatly appreciate your efforts of making my country Ethiopia, visible to the rest of the world only from the point of peculiar historical and political perspectives. I hope that you are also familiar with the presence of so many intact cultural heritages that haven't yet seen by many nations in the globe. Please keep your journey again and again across Africa and show the truth to the world.
The best time to tell the world about Ethiopia, the land of the brave.
Informative and well presented. Art is a wonderful way to experience another culture and to study it's history. BTW Ethiopia grows some of the fines coffee beans in the world.
@@guyfaux5010 Thats your thought. But you can not teach Ethiopians who live on that land for thousands of years what to grow and sell. Are you suggesting Ethiopia didn't deserve a foregin exchange and share the fruit of its God given resources for the world? Just a thought...
@@tilethio what are you blabbering about lol
Excellent! This is Ethiopia the western should know. Born free nation headache for colonies.
I'm oromo!
For some yes , but for the majorities of nationalities was hell , for benishangull Gimira Gambela and others they were slaves until 1930s
They were the puppies of colonials
@@gurmufunane4588I read a book recently on the history of the Tewahedo Orthodox Church of Ethiopia. The author mentioned that the medieval Ethiopian economy partly depended on export of slaves.
An excellent presentation, you need to write this as a book for the sake of the next Ethiopian generation!

Correction the word habesha was first mentioned by sabaeans and ethiosabaean before arabic was a thing
Yes! And Abyssinia is an anglicized way of saying habesha
One of the best youtube vids ive watched. Thats an impressive country and wonderful presentation she is a joy to watch.
i hope someone in Ethiopia will make NFT art work on Cardano
i'm exploring this NFT world. Will be on it soon
It is great that you have made such a wonderfull story. My suggestion is am afraid you may mislead the viewer Ethiopia is only what you mention. I wish you also cover the west evil deed at this moment on Africa. Africa is still under western power. Our politics and Economy is totaly at their hand. Every African origion should be aware that uless we are free to decied on maters that affect us. Trust me unless we become master of our own fate, we and our children all over the world will not be free and live in dignity.
Economic imperialism is pervasive, insidious and profoundly damaging. We talk about the extinction of animals but the extinction of cultures is equally devastating to the earth.
thank you so much! it is an amazing presentation!!
just fell in love!!! wonderful!!
great presentation thanks.
Thank you so much for your very informative Video and your beautiful person, and exquisite voice!
Simply magnificent
Inspiring!
perfect narration ever
Thank uou so much!!! ❤❤❤
Well done journalism, although I would have hoped you touched a bit of our Islam heritage as well about Nejash abut Bilal etc.. because it out history as well.
Very helpful in understanding
When was this recorded?
Because there's currently intense war going on
in ethiopia's northern region.
Those who surprised who is a protector of Ethiopia can get it at @6:30 . Prayers and trust on god.
There is a dress code when you go to church. So we strongly advise you to follow it and as the same time we thank you 🙏🏾
thank you so much for this beautiful documentation and bringing light to the richness and fullness of the untold unrecognised parts of our African stories and breathing realities. one love. one heart. one destiny. salamte tena yestelin.

Thank you Arfu for this documentary. Your presentation about Derg is not balanced. They have done good things too such as land reform which empowered and liberated the peasantry. They also expanded literacy among the population
Liberated the peasantry by starving them to death?
The fact that they were able to stay in power imdicates they earned some popular support, paralleling the history of the Russian Bolshevik Revolution which is their inspiration. The resentment of many poor people powered their revolution. But the Derg began, after the assignation of Emperor Selassie in 1974, a cycle of murder and lawlessness that has not yet abated.
We are white and we were colonised by other whites. And still we preserved our language for 1000 years and our traditions and culture. So we can be proud, too.
You always mention west white colonisators. This was last 400 or 500 years. Before there were no foreign colonisators in Africa? It seems also that you don't need enemies from outside, you can be enough evil to one another 😭 this is sad, such a beautifull people, with amazing landscapes and nature, but too much suffering and man made famine ....
What do u mean? White?
We Ethiopian have thin skin and light skin and semitic feature we are middleast part of Africa
Killer bee's and pet lions 🦁
you should cover your hair. this is holy place sister.
The remnant Rastafarians of Shashamene must really be stubborn. I suspect the other 4700 emigres, upon discovering the spiritual riches of Tewahedo Orthodox Christianity simply became Ethiopian and did shed the colonial identity.
The spirit of Ras Tafari lives in the church he protected from the Italian fascists, the church which worships the Lord God of Israel Jesus Christ in Spirit and in Truth!
Both, as an Ethiopian and a person who has watched your videos, this episode looks more like a travlog than about the History of Art in Ethiopia. For one thing, a single episode on an entire 3000 years old civilization and its heritage is very ridiculous given you have dedicated whole episodes for individual artists in Europe. Had you done your home work correct, You would have come up with a substantial content.
You know what is funny the European still trying to destroy Ethiopia till this day
@@guyfaux5010 Says the pro Western buffoon intimidated by the growing threat of the Asian Dragon.
@@DWEthiopia The Asian dragon will gobble up the whole of Africa, making colonialism look like a joke. You'll regret having sold out your souls to the Chinese. You'll have oh so independently destroyed yourselves. Your elites having been bought off with peanuts, in exchange for mining rights so by the time the CCP will be in power for a century, 2049, Africa will be nothing but a barren wasteland, stripped of all its natural resources.
@@whateversomething5852 Sold souls to Chinese? Are you just sad that the West couldn't offer something better in return. The West eats more resources and exploits more Africans than anything on the face of the Earth. Good luck trying to convince Africans the "white man" is better lmao! Yall had your chance, it wasn't pretty for Africans.
@@whateversomething5852 If you want to convince black people the West is better than China, why not start with being less racist. Lol! You're a clown!
What shitty statenment is thst? I as an european want a prospering Ethiopia or Africa as a whole, so the people won't fled to Europe. And if trade conditions are unfair, i want them to be changed. Do not blame europeans for your desaster, ESPECIALLY Ethiopia which was never colonized. Solve your ethnic conflict shit and become a nation than!
Nice reporting but you said democracy what do you mean by that. European democracy will never rise in ethiopia we will barried it take there democratic propaganda with there gay people. We will make our own african and ethiopian life.
Another thing. The figure 500,000 as a number of people killed during red terror is quite an exaggeration
You are a fool to disagree with the amount of lives lost
If anything thats an underestimate
Not only sexagenarian, but also it is totally false!!
Abbyssina what we now call ethiopia ..... no it's still abbyssina
Ethiopian never called abbyssina
i love to make this lady my wife beautiful
I'm oromo!
A different perspective needed about this war the tigrayan and some other nationalities was involved ,but the Amhara's get the credit why ? Before this war during the yohanes reign half of Eritrea was part of his domain ,when he died Menilik granted all those places to Italy exchanging with weapons,
The nationalities who helped menilik during the war get nothing except subjugation and lost their dignity
With Amhara or Abyssinian culture .
As an oromo probably the war make sense for somes but not for the majorities
You are still delusional!! wake up!!!
There’s a genocide occurring in Ethiopia in the Tigray region. Be educated on current events before releasing a sound deaf video
Stop misleading people, I bet you have never even been to tigray
@@tewodrossamson790 tnk u
By tplf
Exactly idk why she left that out
That’s good
Are you an amateur or professional journalist? You are so biased. where is the history of ancient city of Harar? where is the art in Jimma? many others. Why you didn't tell us about Al Nejashi Mosque in Tigray while you had touched Axum ? The 'color' of Ethiopia is some what different from what you have narrated. It is with diversified arts ,culture, religion etc. Please, make a balance and avoid bias; otherwise you better leave untouched.
oh shut up you woman hating man
I think this is a film intended for the black diaspora. why don't you make you own film? You're free to do so. Gather information and upload it on TH-cam like that useless comment you made. peace!
@@Jstar697 well said
@@christilivs8703 better said ;)
If you think there is a history not included in this work do something about it instead of criticizing this great person doing her best.
