my beloved ppl of afar ❤
May allah protect you inshallah hope i will go back to home soon 🇪🇹
Aljezira since You went right there, you could have documented more, because there is more beauty down there ( the volcano, the green and yellow mounts.
Still better than being a street beging man in Europe. These are good tough people.
sky works that's right
man I wish I could FedEx all the snow that is falling around my house
They don't get paid enough
i hope a salt processing plant does not come. The Afar are mining in an environmental friendly way.
Salute to santhosh George kulangara Kerala India,he is inspired me to watch this vedio
Me too
Me too 😊
Imagine getting 7 dollars out of the 150 slabs of salt you mine. That’s really unfair
God helps those who help themselves.
wow thanks Al jazeera its amazing the white gold is found in habesha, Afar region❤❤❤
This is so humbling eish :(
Not only is it hot, but it's also very humid with dew points into the 80s at times. This is THE most extreme hot climate on earth, no one should ever have to live and work in that.
Yeap, but those camels 🐫 stay hungry for long time because there is no grass in ther, so sad 😢 😞
Magnificent... I like those people
good
Instead of avoiding salt as we’ve been told, I began to use it as the beneficial supplement that God intended. Salt possibly the least appreciated essential element for LIFE
🤣🤣🤣
tough time never last but tough people will do.That is for Afar people . Bad government do nothing for it's people.
చాలా బాగుంది
These Afar people are Yemeni Arabs mostly Sabean, their very fierce , nomadic and warlike and lives in a hot desert.
We are not Yemeni bro. In fact we are native African of Cush family.
@@afarrobito8601 but Afars carry J1 haplogroup
There is been interracial marriage between Yemenis and afar plus now day Yemen was part of our empire.
None sense. You just pull it from your derrier cavity?
@@benyahudi1233 nah, dude we are descendants of the Cushitic Family, as afar robito said . We are not Yemeni and pls don't associate our strength coming from having a Yemeni gene .
Tikhon lox
Lake tana
That's. In Ethiopa
I’d probably try to craft a carriage or something
the Afar are relatives of the ancient Egyptians.
Similar genetics and culture.
Actually Somalis would be more the relatives of the ancient Egyptians if you consider the Haplogroup E1b1b1.This Haplogroup originated in the horn of Africa and spread to North Africa and Southern Europe and the people who carry that marker the most are the Somalis therefore making them more likely of all the cushitic people to have been the ancestors of the ancient Egyptians.

Thomas Jackson no, aborigines were driven away, and slavery was illegal by the time of serious settlements. it was settled almost exclusively with white British, many prisoners.
You are right bro. Ancient Egyptian were descended from afar. No doubts just need more scavetion.
We are descendants of the Cushitic family and when you say Egyptian if you mean the Nubian then maybe but not Arab Egyptians.

Ani hay afar pple
T_T i hope they get proper paids
What a salty video
i cry one Ethiopia move please stay sexual pregant like stay like bed home Africa
Too sad the Ethiopian government gave the mining right to rich American making all these hardworking people beggars while ppl in government become rich.
May be you are being sarcastic. Thousands of Afar ppl live off by selling the slat, how many ppl the Chines or Americans will hire to extract the salt?
Sam T, you are so right. Ethiopia is currently under emergency military rule because people all over the country revolted over the corruption and brutality of the minority TPLF regime. Corrupt government officials appropriate huge swath of land and give to private companies in return for bribe money. The people are tired of getting shafted over and over again.
why do these people struggle when the rest of the world could help them become more modern
After thousands of years, these people are still having to walk for a week? Funny stuff.
Anudeep AP I am saying that it's ridiculous that after thousands of years that these people are still stuck in the stone age. Look at the civilized world and look at all that has been done in the last hundred years, then look at these people who have been there for thousands of years and there's no progress been made into the 21st century.
Look at your own achievements, realise there are none, and then thank better men than yourself for all the achievements you enjoy but contribute nothing towards.
Griez Mann You wouldn't remember what happened to you if you acted like a tough guy to my face.
painful to realize ryt?..tough guy.
yea again i respect how yu think sir...
They are Somalis. Hard working people.
They are not Afars they are Tigrians.
no They are Afar people, Somali people are lazy, Afar people are amazing.
Afar peope not somali
Nah....there far from being a Somali. There is nothing in common between Afars and Somalis.
I think they are Tigrayans
yo! dey WUZZINT KANGS,,, DAY IZ KANGZ FAM SHIEEEEET
No, they're just people trying to make a living, you know nothing of working as hard as they do.

They were kings, what are talking about. This people are the direct descendants of Ancient Egyptians. They have built giant pyramids back when your ancestors were rolling in muds
I feel sorry for the camels not the people
