Deadliest Journeys: Ethiopia
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 дек 2020
- Ethiopia is among the hardest-hit countries in terms of deadly traffic accidents. Trains and trucks circulate along infrastructure from another age. For trucks in the south of the country, the transport of goods and people take place in the rain and on slippery roads… There is, however, no alternative, as flying is too expensive and the trains are no longer in working condition, except one. This one train travels through half of the country, from the city of Dire Dawa to the border at Djibouti. It travels 310 kilometres over the course of more than 10 hours - on a good day. This last known working train is no stranger to derailments and breaks down on a regular basis. It is the oldest but also the most dangerous train in the world! From the Danakil desert to the rainy summits of the Kaffa region, welcome to Ethiopia!
Production: Tony Comiti Productions

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.
Tu tens uma boa vida, graças a super exploração dos países mantidos na pobreza pelo sistema capitalista neoliberal!
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.
channel is ran by communists.
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.
Ethiopia is one of the most lovely places to visit in Africa. Rich history with very lovely people. They have integrity and resilience.
I am from Kenya with Ethiopian blood and I appreciate each and everything God has given me. This video is truly humbling.

This documentary is priceless. Congratulations to all staff members!
You're very welcome!
They never stop praying no matter how hard their life is. Salute to their faith.
I wonder if they pray for heat, less water and sand. maybe that's actually all they want.
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.
Very true
Exactly. Make your children watch, they'll be more cognizant of their own life.
Can’t do this in Somalia

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.
totally agree.

Isn't there an electrified train line between Ethiopia and Djibouti?

There is no fucking democracy
@@jackmountainclan5890 this video is probably 10 years ago now things got different and imagine decade difference
What a wonderful documentary about Ethiopian especially the eastern part of the country life wonderful brought me a lot of memories during my childhood
Yea Dire Dawa is unique. The place I was born and still live in.
I truly admire there resilience 😢 i will never complain if I have a problem with my car or in my life I am very thankful for videos like this it helps me stay humble and strong also full of gratitude 🙏
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.
"6 children to feed" that's exactly what the problem is..
At some point, put mud on your dick or plastic. Something. They just can't figure it out. Amazing.
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.
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.
You are pandering. What you say is preposterous and untrue and you know it.
if they were so resourceful they'd rebuild or built their own civilisations but for some reason that never happens...
@@markc1234golfconstant civil war is what stops them progressing that and famine from climate change , obviously that and the fact they are often so far from livable areas .
Climate change is a communist ruse to bring down Western society in case you had not pegged that, climate is driven by the sun. So why is there constant war?? Can't they get on with one another? Sorry no convincing arguments there. What in your opinion are livable areas? Hey let me tell you up NOrth in Europe we got seriously hostile winters hasn't stopped us from developing solutions in fact quite the opposite it seems as time and time again we develop solutions to make life more liveable. Maybe it IS the environment that challenged our brains from the get go to become so damned inventive ey. But that is oh sooooo politically incorrect. I get it it's white man's fault OBVIOUSLY all of it. Right? Is that not so? @@vickythefist7062
This is an eye opener! Its amazing how easy we have life in comparison to some people in other parts of the world!
Very true! Feel blessed and sad too.
Why would these places choose to stay backward and backbreaking. Surely the majority of the people would want better? 🐝
@@amandadassonville4043 *Let's offer a course on Western/liberal marriage:*
*_Lesson #1: Don't ever argue with your wife because that is emotional abuse, and she will call the police and accuse you of hurting her. Police don't need any evidence to arrest you, so enjoy your stay in prison._*
Lesson #2: Don't you ever dare to deny your wife having sex with others. You don't own her. If you're a real man, you'll help her find a boyfriend or two and let them use your bed while you sleep on the couch.
*Lesson #3: Be fair to each other, but remember, she can accuse you of abuse at any time and destroy your life.*
_Lesson #4. Your wife is tilth for all men (and women). They will use her as they, please. Enjoy your married celibacy._
Lesson #5: If your spouse wants to change "their" gender, don't argue. Just be happy for "them," you transphobe.
*_Lesson #6: Want a divorce? Don't want a divorce? Doesn't matter. She can leave you for any reason or no reason at all. She gets to take at least half your wealth and custody of your children, and you pay all her legal fees. She might even end up living with her boyfriends in the house you bought with your kids._*
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
@@amandadassonville4043 they do, but there is no unity, people in Africa are EXTREMLY divided, most countries are just lines drawn in the sand by western powers and the thousands of ethnicities and tribes mostly only stick out for themselves or even actively hate and fight each other. Everyone is just out for themselves. Africa will always stay as bad as it is, as long as its people dont unite
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.
Hmmmm that's very true.
I am humbled, more grateful for what I have more than ever after seeing this. Thank you.
What resilient people! They know how to survive even under such bad conditions.
They're just really unintelligent. Life is hard, and it's even harder when you're stupid.
They are the one who continue to create these bad conditions .....but they blame "others" continents away who do not create such conditions for themselfs.
@@NineCylinderDiesel worse when you're a pos and do not have friends.
@@PsychologicalApparition lol, some people just can't accept truth. Keep feeling sorry for the unintelligent inhabitants of Africa. But first go ahead and check for yourself the average IQ of individual African nations.
I just don't understand how they can't develop their countries.
Beautiful people in a beautiful country 💖
The cinematography is first rate. The entire production team is top shelf. Inspiring, informative and very enjoyable documentary about the struggles and successes in and around Ethiopia. Vive la France.
This is typical French orientalism. I am 12 minutes in to this video and already saw how they mistranslated spoken speech. And its not a small error I am talking about. More like complete 180 degrees of what the woman was saying. Absolutley disgusting, but not surprised coming from the French.
Viva La Ethiopia f france
For?
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.
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"
💚💛❤I am Ethiopian and I live in my country. This is not what my country looks like now, for sure this video was filmed 15 to 20 years ago. It has been a long year since the train stopped working, and now the tourists who know Ethiopia are a witness. 💚💛❤Come visit beautiful Ethiopia!!!💚💛❤
I am in full agreement with you. This must be a 40 year old video or more.

@@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.
God Bless Ethiopia, its one of the best countries I have been ❤❤❤
Did you ride on this train?
One of the best documentary I ever watched! Fantastic
You can't survive here without chewing khat
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

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.
I love looking at the beautiful Ethiopian people. All tall and statley with beautiful features.
Sure??
I was thinking that too, seen a few good looking males & females with lovely features.
I love these documentaries. The clothes are so colorful and people helping each other. Makes me appreciate what I have here in the U.S.
Me too. I'll do whatever it takes to not end up like one of these third world countries.
Even though the once mighty US middle class is fast becoming a vague memory ? The difference between the haves and the have less , have never been so extreme ? 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.
Thanks for this document,it is good to know and learn more about others countries
the herb they put in their coffee its called tenadam, something like that gives the coffee the distinct smell thats truly Ethiopia 😍
You are talking crap! You have never seen a proper coffee ceremony. Actually they put salt in their coffee, not everyone!
@@alexandercameron1977 I'm Ethiopian and never heard of that.
@@BW-fz5kf Heard of what?
@@alexandercameron1977 Putting salt in coffee.
@@BW-fz5kf You need to read my answer correctly. “ Not everyone “. As you know there are over 80 tribes in Ethiopia , many speak Amharic but others don’t. The same applies with coffee ceremony I was offered coffee with salt several times but not often. I did mention I lived in Ethiopia and not as a NGO as those parasites live in bubbles!
"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 thing is for sure: all those billion $ in foreign aid haven't made it to the road or rail infrastructure.
They made it into politicians bank accounts and pockets
You are right. Here in Ethiopia the government is corrupt
Well as a German u should now that all the $ stays in EU and beneficials are normaly companies in EU…

This was an amazing documentary! Priceless! Traindrivers repairing the locomotive with some piece of wood they picked up along the track. That´s creative.
The humbleness of each makes me appreciate my life
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
Very informative documentry I love to watch this awesome work hat's off guys
That man stated he goes to work every day to feed his family that is what a real man does nuff respect
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.
Well narrated documentary. Really awesome teamwork!
🎉🎉
I love this report. Thanks.
I wish i gather people from around the world and work together to bring change in life's of these people
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 😢😢👪
This very educational, and my grandchildren are more appreciative for living in the United States
A lovely film.

I can imagine wh so many people want to come to Europe.. this place is a hell hole for the most of them!
33:04 I call bs get a vise tap and dye set otherwise forget the bolt that's not the only one holding the turbo on... Also if the td was blowing white smoke then the coolant seal on the turbo was the problem not the mounting bolts... And if that was the case it might work for.5 sec. I don't mean to hate. Love what you do. But that's not how many of this works lol
I took that train in 1992, from Addis to Djibouti. It was great.
how mush time and how many kilometer

The first railway in Africa. Cape Town South Africa 1859
Such a wonderful documentatary. Thank you.
Thanks president uhuru for our Kenyan sgr..🎉🎉🎉bravo
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.
That Peugeot looks fantastic compared to the Toyota in the Kameroon episode
Brill documentary with a smooth easy to understand voiceover. The subject was absorbing and educational, thank you.

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
A pity France as a gesture can not provide them with a couple of better trains and spare parts .
when did it filmed?? this railway stopped long time ago actually. now it is improved and used as a classy cafe at the rail station of Ethio-Djibouti railway
Like the Peugeot 404s. Look very similar to the Austin Cambridge/Morris Oxford of that era. Probably due to the fact they all came from the same design team.
Ethiopia has one of the oldest cultures on the planet ...it's a fascinating country with much history and beauty 👍
Best view of this stories.... your documentaries give to me more adventures as I was there !! Thanks my Friends! 😋😉😇
Africa's road safety record is better than a lot in the west The Africa's are superb drivers
That train is an upgrade from those trucks by far! Trucks break down all the time.
And the train doesn't?
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.

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

Even though the French had inhabited Africa back then and left their technologies, the quality of their vehicles are still $#!+ even up to this day.
If they can't even feed themselves, why do they keep having all of these children?
Because they are seen as an old age insurance , and since they are prone to die young having a few extra would be a safe bet . Some people can't afford the luxury *not* to have kids.
That is the age old question. Always those under the breadline spawning like frogs. 🐝
An excellent and informative video.
