I Almost Died Today. Twice
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- The past few days in N'Djamena, Chad have been the worst days of my entire life and I've had a miserable time here. Never in my life have I been more scared, threatened, or attacked (both verbally and physically) than in this hot, dusty, beaten-down deserted city. I was in a disastrous police chase on a motorbike and I also was attacked by a dozen people for taking 1 photo inside a minibus. I apologize for the lack of posting lately - I've had no access to wifi until now and I'm still shaken up by what has happened to me.
If it wasn't for my 6'6'' local friend (AKA Bodyguard), then I'm not sure I'd be alive right now. This is not a joke, this is serious.
The lesson learned has been learned on my end to always ask before taking a photo of anyone, but it was uncalled for these people to attack me as they did. I will end this post by saying that I do not hate Chad (as a whole) and I realize that unlucky situations can make or break your experience in any country. But it's safe to say that I will not be coming back to Chad anytime soon.
What's the worst thing that's happened to you on the road? Please share your stories below

And they say North Korea isn't a tourist-friendly country.
Strangely, many foreigners who have visited North Korea say the people who live there are actually very friendly.
@@romancorey6796 Totally. Besides being able to efficiently control their people with Juche, the goverment uses his reputation of being totalitarian to make a lot of money with tourism, as long as the tourists don't spread new political and religious ideas among the people.
Before you read below, please remember this first: Even though tourists can go to North Korea and many say they have a good time, we shouldn't go there as it could be dangerous especially for people who come from countries that are North Korea's "enemies" (for example, I've heard that a guy from America was kidnapped) and also because visiting there means giving the government more money, and giving them money means continuing to support their regime that denies their citizens' human rights, so I'm of the opinion that we should oppose it as much as possible.
From what I've heard, visitors are only allowed to go to Pyongyang and it looks super normal and happy and tourist-friendly (although people say there's something slightly off about how there's so many modern-looking buildings but barely any people to fill them and stuff like that), but if you go to other parts of the country you'll see that most of the citizens are living in poverty, there's concentration camps, etc. So it's basically like in Pyongyang they're trying to make themselves look like a "normal" country but it's all just a disguise, that kind of thing. (Again, this is all just from what I've heard.)
~:~
@@harshmnrI know and I agree with everything you said. If you want to know more check out 'In Order to Live' by the North Korean defector and human rights activist Yeonmi Park and Blaine Harden
's 'Escape from Camp 14' which is the official biography of Shin Dong-hyuk
, who was born inside Kaechon internment camp
and today is also a human rights activist. There's also the documentary 'The Propaganda Game' available on Netflix which focuses more on the propaganda the goverment meticulously does to hide the reality from the tourists.
Believe it or not, the situation in Cuba is even worse than in North Korea, because it's much harder to try to escape from an island than from a peninsula. Since their wages can afford food for only 10 days roughly, about 10% of the entire Cuban population tried to escape from the island by sailing on anything that could float, taking the risk of being eaten alive by sharks. Many have died trying to reach the United States and those who survived through this hell will tell you how Cuba isn't that tourism paradise for its own people. Unfortunately there are few sources regarding the situation in Cuba and those I know are only available in Spanish or in Portuguese.
@@universalis6239 Thanks for the recommendations; I'll try to check those out. I've heard a bit about Cuba too. :/ I hope I can try to do something to help those countries one day.

hey drew I'm from South Africa and there are a lot of cases of children and women being kidnaped by foreigners from Europe so in my view taking a picture of a child triggered them thinking u potentially want to kidnap the child and sell the Childs organs wherever you in Africa don take a Childs picture without permission . even now its still happening
What do you expect to see from a traveler´s video? Videos showing no faces of people? What do you expect to see on his RUclips channel? Would he care more for the animals in Africa than the actual children there? You must understand that Europe is going down because of their stupid attitudes, and they used to be more grateful about taking pictures. Balance!
About taking pictures, people should know how to balance things out. Being excessively violent is never the right thing. Talk. Tell people to calm down if they are offended.
@@charleyjr.iriarte7428 if you never been in Africa you will not understand what im talking about and if you never had family members kidnapped killed put in boxes or have missing body organs then u will not understand i think there in Europe you have a thing called concent if im not wrong . Would u keep quiet if a random person starts taking multiple pictures of you without you knowing or acknowledging you about it ? If so then we are wrong but if you find it uncomfortable then u have to fix your statement and open your eyes
@@KestraBeatz, Not me! Though I like your answer, people should be careful about using their hands too quickly. It is not a good thing. Especially when someone is already surrounded by people who are not like him, they shouldn´t fear to talk before using their hands.
Everyone can be violent and ruthless. However, if it becomes your culture to be impulsive, then don´t let tourists come to your country at all. Not everyone is perfect. Or tell everyone before entering the country. (Too many rules in my opinion.) Even I want to visit your country, but why so impulsive toward a small helpless white guy inside a bus -- who is among big and strong Africans? Just encourage your people to be CAREFUL and be WISE!? Because the Europeans can go berserk. Only God and be it only God Almighty who does harm! Not an unreasonable man! Claiming to be super special for NO reason -- above his beautiful white brother!?
Don´t say because of kidnapping because I smell a bad odor attitude -- which is mainly against white people. If it were not for some of your kind and outstanding souls in Chad, Drew would have been imprisoned or badly injured. (I don´t think that God will let him die because of taking a picture of a little child as he mentioned. His time of death won´t be there. I refuse it in my heart.) Just without reason.
The white guy probably cared more about the child to promote how adorable the child -- as he could be one day. Not to say that Chad can become a great country by beauty, but the child can be so adhering without being generalized in any way.
I don´t mind my picture as you can see in my google account. If anything, help your people see us. We are the ones coming to see you. See us also! Maybe it will help to reduce the risk of kidnapping when you make new friends. Our brother Drew can raise awareness for you and your country. Who knows?
Bless. And if nothing, the air is heavy.
But in that case everyone was rude anywhere.
Aside, who are those foreighnor to kidnap kids in that country? Where are they going to bring them? They cannot even get out from the airport. Aside Chad is at the center of Africa.

You should always ask before you take a photo of someone. It's a respectful gesture.
Yes I mean here in Germany if you pull your camera and start filming someone in the bus he will most likely flip out and start threatening you also
@@omarabdelhamid2239 I get that but I doubt the whole bus would get involved and threaten to stab you probably just tell you to stop and delete the photo
Do you think the kid would understand? Lol, there’s a language barrier.
@@infinitegalaxy271 Yes but if you are in a foreign country you should be extra cautious because you don’t know how the people will react. In Germany they won’t stab you because there is police and law but in countries like chad people react directly without relying on the state
@@She_iswise that’s the dumbest excuse I have heard. You are blaming a kid in Chad for not speaking English which allows you to break into his personal space???
always ask before you take a picture of someone's kids. all over the world.

For once I would like Drew to own up to his mistakes.
Taking picture of a random kid in an already strange country while sitting in a van with his parents and other people around was STUPID

True. I also think „I almost died twice“ is over dramatized
@@MarlboroMika Wait till you're in that same type situation he was in. It may have been over exaggerated but still, he could've gotten really hurt
@@olderalt.4066 no doubt about it. But saying „I almost died“ means you were in a situation where death was clear und you evaded it. There’s lots of dangerous situations but not all of them are instances of being so close to death that you almost died

I wouldn't be happy if someone took a picture of my child. Just ask permission, man.
It wasn't their child though. Plus, not being happy about it and threatening to kill him is different

All photography in Chad requires a permit from a very authoritarian government. It's cool that you visit every country to make a living but it would be good to do some research on the political situation of countries that not many people are familiar with instead of just rushing your way through it all.

@@johnnyseed9257 Chad is a completely authoritarian right wing government tho... So how do they correlate with the most "left" wing political party in America?
When I went Malawi to help out at schools and orphanages, I was advised not to take pictures of the local children without the consent of an adult. It was because many of the locals were scared as they don't want their children to be kidnapped. But then again that's a given. You wouldn't take picture of a random child in the west so why do people think it's an exception in Africa? Just some food for thought.

Well westren doesn't help they make more disgusting lol
somalia is one What? I didn’t understand anything you said because of your poor English.
Drew was being just joyful and playful with the lil kiddo ... But no one freaks out that way in the west or east
There's nothing wrong for a tourist to take a friendly picture with a child or adult. If you are a tourist and wants to take a picture with the locals, almost all people oblige. Why do you think it's weird?
"it is illegal to take any picture outside" proceed and take picture of a child
It's not outside
ITS IN A CAR which is still technically outside but still
Maybe he realized later that he should not take picture in public in Chad.

I mean... I’m sorry for that story, but would you ever take a picture of a kid in the US without their family’s authorization? It is too overreacting what they did, but you were far from being correct when taking someone’s picture. Also, even kids should have the right for their image... first the parents, then the kid permission
@Gladiolus Marigold I’d never threaten someone with a knife, but I’d also never take pictures of kids in my own country, definitely not in other countries and cultures. That’s extremely disrespectful to the kid, to the parents, and to their culture. A lot of tourists forget about people’s rights when visiting other countries, and although I don’t agree with violence, I don’t see anyone correct in this story. He was enjoying his white privilege of doing whatever they want without getting in trouble and I really hope he learned his lessons with this situation.
@Kami Talitha what I mean is that he, as a white man, thinks that they can do things in other countries and cultures that he wouldn't do in his own country. A black man WOULD NEVER think that he can take pictures of other people without getting into trouble, so if a white person thinks that they can do it, it's a white privilege, even though it might not be applied to Chad.
Really I don't get why half of these comments are about this one situation, even though none of the people there spoke English, so he just could've ignored the kid instead of doing that
@@ismaelaraujo2238 you're super ignorant. So just because he's white he thinks he can do whatever he wanted? So a black man in chad HAS NEVER TRIED RECORDING SOMEONE? oh man by your name I can jus tell you didn't have a 5th grade education.
@@kyle-sk0rpi0nkeremlima95 well, then you can send me the link to the video of a black man complaining that was almost killed while visiting a different country and culture just because he was recording a video of a kid. Also, you called me ignorant and then you judge by my name (a very racist and xenophobic comment) and then you say that I don’t have 5th grade education, as this was a reason to offend someone in a world where education is a privilege. You might want to rethink your definition of ignorance and how you try to offend people, because instead of offending me, you are offending multiple groups that have nothing to do with my opinion.

He just learned that. So yeah, he didn't have any bad intention, Drew is a really chill guy and always has a good attitude and tries to be positive, but he should also be aware that the world is not a single place and Chad is not another copy of some friendly country.
I think I know why they were angry at you because you took the photo of the kid. In most developing countries such as Chad, there are a lot of child predators who take photos of young kids or even kidnap them, so they maybe thought you were a predator and were defending the kid. They didn't have bad intentions, but they did take it a bit too far.
True
@Donald trump and Rich piana
People don't let a stranger take a photo of something they like - they could've thought it was a gun but even if they knew it was a camera just think of what they thought drew was doing with camera.
Yes in asian countries people don't mind, and in Europe it's better to take permission.

Ok so I guess no one would get mad a brown tourist taking pictures of white children in the west. Yea no news (fox) companies would take this out of proportion
Hey Drew! My family is originally from Chad. I'm really sorry you didnt have the best time there. I truly am sorry you didnt have a good time. Hopefully, if you ever do visit Chad most likely, go to smaller cities. I recommend it. :)
And maybe get in contact with local families to help him experience Chad the right way
To be honest, they did have the rights to snap at you for trying to take a picture of a kid. I mean, if I had a kid, I would be uncomfortable if a random stranger takes a picture of them without asking
and add on to that the fact he's in an authoritarian country where such filming is illegal, and ppl are generally wary of westerners filming for sensitive reasons like human trafficking. That was a huge mistake
I would do the same thing. You’re just being ignorant and not sure why you are asking if he is Black

I'm pretty sure there was issues of kidnapping's (Don't quote because I don't know how accurate that is) of children and the kidnapper's would often take pictures of the children before following through with it. Even if that's not completely true he may have gave of the impression of a Pedo taking advantage of the country, in which case of course people are going to react wildly.

I don’t mean to offend you by this, but taking a photo of a small child without consent in a country like this is just wrong.
You might be able to do this in America but not in a developing country, they were probably coming into the child’s defence because who knows what you were going to do with it

It's a sign there's been a lot of abuse happening there, and the people are very poor in general. They thought you were a trafficer or something. Help the people of Chad or something guys, that's one place that seems to really need it.
No offense, I love your vlogs and the love you bring to every place but there are people who do not see your intentions. Before taking a picture of a child, as pure & innocent your intentions were, you ask before you take the picture or videotape. You learned a valuable lesson.

It would be weird to just randomly take pictures of kids in the US, so why do videos of travel in Africa always have random pictures of children?
@@snuurferalangur4357 stop. Just stop. It's just *rude* . Simple. I'd never do that in the US or any Western country. They'd be pissed off and angry just as much as those Chadians were as well.
Those Islamic countries in Africa (emphasising on sub saharan Africa) are the worst of the continent - poor, hostile, arid, dirty, intolerant, impoverished shitholes where the practices of fgm and child marriage are prevalent, as well as the control and subjugation of women, the stoning of gays, the execution of infidels and the extremely high birth rates of woman....oh yeah, not to mention the present day slavery that still exists in several of these countries such as Mali, Mauritania and Niger for example. I especially feel sorry for the children of these countries, where they are subjected to a life of harshness, monotonous labour and very little freedom, which will unlikely change and continue repeating itself.
Why would anyone ever think, that it's just "OKAY" to take a picture of ANYONE without their consent????
Because in the US you have no expectation of privacy in public (in most states.) However, I know this is not the United States.
because in most countries it's in the law that it's allowed

Drew: takes out camera
Chat citizens: *_WHAT DID YOU JUST BRING UPON THIS CURSED LAND?_*
So let me get this straight, you are carrying around a camera in a country you know has a severe dislike of being filmed and you are surprised that people are rude to you? You seemed to get the message in North Korea that dissing the glorious leader was a no no. Why then does it seem so difficult to grasp that these people hate being filmed and that you should put the camera away? Filming people without their consent is generally considered an invasion of privacy, even in western countries. I live in Canada, and I have seen people become threatening and violent for this exact reason. Like the dude who punched a guy who was filming him on a public bus in the afternoon, and then got off the bus.
Im pretty sure he didnt know that before.

Bottom line is you need to respect other cultures, they aren’t around for your amusement and you can’t expect to be treated like a king just because you are American. This was 2 years ago so I hope you have grown from this, I would hope so with all your traveling.
Not like I think that this sounds like something I want would to go through but thats what you need to expect if you travel places that are different from the US. You can’t just do whatever you want wherever you go- I know that without even leaving the country.

He didn’t learn a thing because he posted a video a year after this and was touching some random kid’s hair just because it was blonde this dude seems to have a real issue when it comes to respecting boundaries and understanding social cues
“Treated like king” wtf does that mean? I get it, he made a mistake of taking a picture of some kid randomly. But other than that he just wants to be able to have a camera out on the streets, have a proper toilet, be able to walk around without stepping in shit… I don’t get it, how is wanting a normal life equated to wanting to be treated like king?

Dear Drew,
I would like to start by saying that I’m a huge fan, and this is not a hate comment. While almost all of this was out of your control, and I’m sorry all of this happened to you, the bus incident was entirely your fault. The patrons on the bus may have overreacted, but you had no right to take a picture of that child without permission. You didn’t ask for permission, and they got mad because they were afraid that their children would get kidnapped using the photo. That crime is rampant in some places. People take a picture of the child and kidnap them. The patrons overreacted, but in the end, it is your fault, and you shouldn’t be mad about that. I’m sorry for everything else that happened thought, and you did not deserve that. Keep traveling!
P.S. Taking an unauthorized picture of a child is not accepted in the west, so what made you think people in Chad are OK with it?
If he didnt know then its not his fault
Yeah right
I suggest that all of you ridiculing me, closely reread my comment.
pink Fungi What?! I’m not retarded, and what I’m saying makes sense!
1. The people overreacted. I get that.
2. He took a photo of the child without permission. The parents didn’t like that, and that makes the situation technically his fault.
3. In some places, taking a picture of a child can scare a parent. This is because some people take a photo of the child. The same group then kidnaps the child. He should have asked for permission, and probably shouldn’t have been ignorant.
somalia is one I am technically correct.😏
Chads: *exists*

Welcome to Tchad! I was there for about three months in 2011 and 2013 again. I didn't have many problems there except for the dust wreaked havoc with my sinus's..... Le Carnivore was my hangout at night. Usually had decent live entertainment and good Steak/frites at a reasonable price. Beers were good too.
I'm curious if you would reconsider Chad now with the benefit of hindsight and time. Chad is actually pretty high on my bucket list, because I'm a bit of a nerd for geology and physical geography, and from that point of view, northern Chad has some extremely interesting features, like the Tibesti Mountains (containing Emi Koussi, the highest mountain in the Sahara), the largest freshwater lakes (Ounianga lakes), as well as the Ennedi Plateau which is in large parts unexplored, uncharacteristically green for being in the middle of the Sahara and harbors amazing biodiversity.
I’m actually from Lebanon, and I really wanted to visit Chad, but I quickly changed my mind. 😅😂
Two words -- Boko Haram.
Chad is an extremely dangerous country. Most western countries put them high on DO NOT TRAVEL lists due to terrorism, civil unrest, kidnappings and armed robberies.
Australia's Government lists them at Level 5 (for reference Level 4 is DO NOT TRAVEL) Level 5 translates to "Are you sucidal, mate?"
