Facts about Ethiopia that most People Don’t Know | Amena and Elias

Habesha means Eritrean and Ethiopian not. Only Ethiopian

Hani Meb you mean northern Ethiopia because not even the majority or Ethiopians are habesha so.

Salem Feyesso May i Ask Where u live ? Cuz Everyone know What habesha is , specially If u live outside of Ethiopia / Eritrea

Hani Meb I live in the United States but I am 🇪🇹 and am not habesha. Habesha means those who descent from the Abyssinian kingdom or empire. You see you said Ethiopia as a whole and Ethiopia is diverse so not all Ethiopians are habesha . So please remember that. So I advise you to say northern Ethiopia and Eritrea 🇪🇷.

Mohamed Zaher thank you brother God bless you

Omar Hussien Bro, the most stupid act ever a country can take is to assault a neighbouring country. This goes both ways, by the way. This stupid conflict will sooner or later end. It’s just stupidness driven by politicians to be in power. We both nations have to try to know each other and you’ll be so much surprised how much the politicians put us in illusions to hate each other for their own benefits. Ramadan Kareem 😊

But it is our Dam!!!

Tank you mohamed zaher

Mohamed Zaher Egypt is in the North, Ethiopia is very much East. You’re not neighboring countries.

Thank you and we love the people of Sudan 🇸🇩 as well.

me too somali who lived there love Ethiopia and miss it

i like the way you expressed thanks

Woooow

I came back to visit in 1999 and that's not the end I am planning another trip in the course of 2018.

OMG! I am surprised by your Amharic! Thank you for sharing your story Jimi Free. You are always welcome my friend!

My bf is Senegalese, Senegal has beautiful people. It's a beautiful country, we have the flag hanging in our living room, a big huge Senegal flag. I surprised him with it. He LOVES it.

I love how you used the Dergue regime's "Ethiopia first !" slogan in Amharic.

lol im guessing you were around when Derg was in Power

Not surprised to hear of something like this from the ethiopians!!! I can't wait to get an Ethiopian haircut!!!

Appreciate that

But I hope you will see the whole Ethiopian culture tradition and history not only northern part of Ethiopia. There is a lot of Ethiopian muslims beautiful calture hope you see that ☺

@@semiramohammed3743 Samira agree with you

All right thanks

Amen And God says whatever you guys go I know you guys

Thomas Mofokeng, we Ethiopians are warm and welcoming people. Hopefully you will inform your xenophobic south African people to stop killing Ethiopians just because they do business there. I lived in joburg for a year. Based on what I witnessed, I would hate to see any south African in Ethiopia.., even to visit for a day..... SMH😥😥

Ethiopia is the largest coffee exporter in africa and most of it from southern region

Hello Amina! Thanks for the Welcome to Ethiopia Video! I'm just wondering, how hot does it get where you are at in Ethiopia? It's 20°C here, the pumpkins and butter cup squash are getting ripe in the garden, do you grow squash and gourds there? I have some teff in the pantry, what's the best authentic Ethiopian way of preparing teff?

Southern part of Ethiopia

Birth place of coffee

Thank u brother! Happy early Easter!

alex vorobyov Ethiopia the chosen country of the Most High will rise up soon!!

Hi alex vorobyov are you in Moscow?

Zahra Ahmed I heard y’all be keeping us hostage over there is that true ?

U must be a spoiled 11 year old. Also I heard y’all be keepin us hostage. Is that true?

Me too

It would be better if u go first to the least desired one on ur list. Your following trips will more interesting cuz you will be more aware more conscious about everything

@David. Very nice. Ethiopia has a lot of thing to show. However, I can persuade you here...Sudan should be on the top list...it’s a country endowed with a lot of history. The land of Nubian Kush.

@Darrin:’ Ethiopians are Welcoming people. Unfortunately ‘ Haileselasie May god curse his soul was a butcher.’he killed Muslims if not by millions - and repossessed their other properties with the help of Americans and religious orgs:

I tell you, you are citizens of Africa, I mean the good thing about black people is that we know the origins of our ancestors who are Africans. I advise you to watch a British documentary on the 'History of Africa' with Zeinab Badawi. I am Ethiopian and I can attest that the two episodes related to Ethiopia are presented eloquently! You can also visit African countries. They will make you feel at home.

Nice to no more about ethiopia pleas i wish to no you beter if you permit me thank God bles you

Rabbani Khan 😂 Ethiopians are not tall they are short. The Somalis in Ethiopia & the Horn of Africa are tall.

Beautifully tall ?!?!?! Tell that to my flipping 156 cm stature

Ethopians aren't tall people you get that wrong Rabbani khan

You ruined your statement by attempting to throw all Somalis under the bus as if they all joined together to write that one comment.You now sound even more ignorant and biased than the original poster.The comment was stupid and offensive.

Thanks dear

Gotta visit one day !

I’m an Ethiopian from Vegas lolllll

Wow tnxs amesegenalewo eshi in Amharic OK so I am Ethiopian u can ask me any u want tnxs

ghanian and west africans are beautiful in their own way but alot of people dont know but the girl in the video and many north east africans look is not result of mixing cushites are black people who are tall and have fine features naturally before we got mixed with arabs most cushites dont have that much arab dna we dont have something that is enough to alter our looks our indigenous east african ancestors were jet Black people but did not have bantu features africa is diverse everthing is not result of mixing eventhough mixing happened if you see half bantu and half midle eastern child they dont look like cushite people i hope that i have explained

It's not true this supposed admixture. It doesn't make any sense and the Yemenis are Ethiopian originally

@@ayahadam8299 we did not mix with arabs!!

Same here, it has a strange attracting content to it. Am from Ethiopia too.

Gisma D Oromo people are the best in my opinion. I am not Ethiopian by the way

Gisma D You single? God damn gorgeous.

Wayne Frank she is amazingly gorgeous ❤️ just like any Ethiopian

DON T LIE !! JEWS KNOWN AS " FALLAHS " ARE VERY DISCRIMATED !!!!

@@calderone5559 Ala Sha (Ksh) are not Jews.

@@Omega1st , sorry but they are the ONLY BLACK JEWS !! it s been CONFIRMED !!

If You Are Sudan You Are Also Ethiopian Historicaly

We don't need your love...you all hate Africans....and by the way Ethiopians are black people too

No, Except a minority, we love Africans. Personaly I don't believe in Rascism. I know Ehiopians are black, adore the way they are. Please don't streotype or for good sake please don't paint me among those bunch of haters. I DO NOT represent those RACEIST people.

And for your general information to know that India has a minority indigenous african and black skin non-african Dravidian communties too.

@@girdharsingh4287 those dark skin Indians only say they are black when it's convenient but never associate with Africans blacks, so I don't know where you get your information that they are Africans

Please read my word carefully. There are few Minority dark skin(black) communities 1. Idegenious Africans of Gujrat, Andhra Pradesh and Maharastra i.e the sibi or sidi tribe 2. The Dravidian community from nilgiri hills of Tamil nadu and its coastal areas. They are Dravidian having distinct facial features does not match with Africans. Please don't get confuse

I feel u(about bbc)!!👍👍👍👍

Is Haile Selassie important to Ethopia and it's history?

I asked someone from Eritrea and Ethiopia were they the same and they both said no.

🤣😂😂😂

@@tmason995 i asked the same thing to a person from wales and england and they said no too

@@tutotutot5193 they are two different nations so no and it would be extremely disrespectful to suggest that they are

@@Aquarian231990 come to India, u'll find many hot men!

Gregory Glass ...And you are a prime example why there is so much resentment, turmoil and discrimination in this world preventing ppl from getting along with each other. We must learn to accept ppl of all races, colors, religious background etc. God made us all different for a reason. Learn to accept and respect each other’s differences! Only then can you respect yourself! Self respect ✊!

Girdhar Singh and we love you 👍🏼

girdhar singh thank you sooo much love from ethiopia I have never seen a non Ethiopian love ethiopia like you keep it on I am happy

You might also wanna know that Ethiopia colonized all of Yemen and Southern Arabia during the Axumite Empire. lol

Let me riht you the first african women is somalian women her names asli if you like you can google

Me too! 😂

Tebeda

i like it but one correction Ethiopia mentioned 44 times in the 1st brana but on this time mentioned in43 times

They are said to have the Ark of the Covenant spoke of in the Bible.

Ethiopia was originally called Cush in the bible or Kawash in Hebrew, which means blackness. Cush was one of the four sons of Ham. Ham is the forefather of the African nations.

@@shamaryasharahla6423 Exactly!

TaSETI: I'm inclined to agree with your assessment...Ancient Africa in general was referred to as Ethiopia.

ibrahim hassan one love 💕 my dear! I sometimes feel disappointed by what my Somali brothers and sisters say about Ethiopia. As an Ethiopian, we have nothing but Love for our Somali brothers and sisters! I didn’t even know that some people hate us until I started to use social media. One love 💕

アマンくん I love Ethiopian people and the country I grow up in Addis Ababa and somali people have love and respect for our brothers and sisters ignore the ignorant people every family got one ✌️

アマンくん Somalis don’t hate ethiopians they hate the government

N IN RSA THEY TREAT U SOMALIANS AS HUMAN BEINGS WITH PEACE

Wa sida bro.

I think Zambian women are also very pretty.

GlobalCeTZen thank you 😊 sister very much 👌🏿

African people in general all are beautiful 👍🏽

Exactly👏

Thank you sistar

I've recently came into the knowledge that Jesus was born in a cave in Ethiopia. Something tells me that their is truth in this legend. I think this should have made the top of the list if this legend is true. Have you heard of this legend? Also, what about Moses wife being Ethiopian. I think that also should have been on the list, but I'm not Ethiopian so what do I know. I do know that the African Americans, which I am, are the true Hebrews of the Bible so we have some amazing history ourselves. In ancient times the Hebrew, the Egyptians, and the Ethiopians were in the same general region of northeast Africa. This is the reason why some Hebrews married Ethiopian and Egyptian women. We were all black, but from different tribes sort of speak. This is how the Hebrew bloodline came into the Ethiopian population in ancient times and Jesus was in this same bloodline. It's the bloodline of the prophets. They were all Hebrew. Enoch played a key role in the Hebrew doctrine. So historically, African Americans and Egyptians(not the arabs you see today) and Ethiopians really have a long history together. Unfortunately, due to war and other jealous cultures many Hebrews were killed and many led from NE Africa and went deeper into Africa and settled in west Africa and the Africans their didn't understand our North African culture and ways and saw us as different and we were captured and sold into slavery to the Europeans and I'm you heard of the atrocities from their on. But African Americans, our original homeland is Israel in NE African. We are East African as well. We are really Hebrew by bloodline. But have you heard of Jesus being born in a cave in Ethiopia??? Is this common knowledge among Ethiopians??? I've read, after much research, that the original bible had the birth of Jesus in Ethiopia but changed it to Bethlehem. I wonder why? I know why?

Well, in your estimation what is the percentage of Ethiopians today that have Hebrew genealogy. I'll wait for your answer before I share the genetic studies that I have come across. I would say though that in western Africa it's very high and in AA it's very high, 80 percent or better in AA. Interestingly, in Saudi Arabia today roughly 10 percent are of Hebrew lineage. Obviously, their were some black males mixing with Arab women.

what I don't get is why are black American after Ethiopian history? Egypt's? Sudan? Hebrew? what's wrong with you people?

Again, for the last time, AA are concerned with the Hebrew people of ancient times, not Ethiopians. Hebrew people were not Ethiopians. Period. Some Ethiopians have Hebrew lineage due to the fact that some mixing took place, but Hebrew is not their original bloodline. So how can you say we are after Ethiopian history. Ethiopian were a completely different tribe than the Hebrew tribe. I really don't hear AA talk about Ethiopians at all if you really want to know. All the prophets of God were Hebrew, this is very clear. In that area of the world anyway. You had greats in India of course which I also study seriously. I just follow where my spiritual studies take me, that's it.

then why are you on here? You're acting like as we are your synagogue

binalfew Amharic did not evolve from Geez, Arabic or Tigregn. Amharic is more similar to Arggoba, Hadere and Guragegn than Tigregn. Amharic use to actually be written in Sabean Alphabet before it adapted Geez alphabet. Abyssinia is actually the name of Amhara people. Amhara means free people in Geez, Abyssinia is driven from an old Turkish/ Arabic word which means free or independent people.

Also the name Ethiopia did not come from the Greek word that means "sun burned people" instead it came from the Aetopis Dynasty, the dynasty that ruled the region after the fall of the Cushite Dynasty. The Greek came to used the term Aetopis to refer to sun tan people because of this.

+selam mesfin thank you mar

selam mesfin Ethiopia male "burned-face" malet new allium. It is a name for tseyim people. Habesha includes both Amhara Tigria. The Arabs used to call the whole northern Ethiopia "Habesha".

binalfew The Arabs used the name Habesha not only for Amharas and Tigrays but for all Ethiopians. The Gurages, the Oromos, the Haderies, the Arggobas, the Agews, the sidamos, the Hadiyas etc all are Habesha. But in Ethiopia, we never used that word. It is mainly used by Arabs and diasporas aboard.

I felt the same!!

vicent sykes excuse you? Could you please elaborate on what you mean by ‘evil hearts’ because I know for a fact that we ethiopians are mostly not like that and stick together as one family. Please don’t generalise a whole country
