No One Told Me Asmara Eritrea was Like This 

This country has gone through hell. repetitive wars ,sanctioned and the youth brain drain in mass .they managed to overcome it though and survived .Now it's time to shine. # it gets worse before it gets better.# Think investment . Thankyou sir

Asmara is a city stuck in time, and while most of the world has grown rapidly, very little has changed here in the last thirty years.

Definitely my next plan is Eritrea But I want to visit everywhere the whole country. I heard about Dahlak Island that's will be my favorite thing to see😊

Sly i reaally loved your Eritrean content. Awesome job and objective. I am from the country side of Eritrea called Keren and also lived in Akurdet. I really wished you visited the rural areas. The content would have been way more fun than being in Asmara. Shout out to my Asmarino family. No offense 😆. My dad is from Asmara. But we grew up in Akurdet. With my mom’s parents. Both my parents were in the war in the 80s

What a clean and safe city of Asmara, Eritrea. Thank Sly for everything. God bless Eritrea 🇪🇷 and USA 🇺🇸.

We Love you bro...Love from Eritrea....Live Long.

Thanks bro for the balanced reporting. ❤❤❤

Thank you, Brother. Hidden Gems are the the best.

Definitely want to visit in the next several years. Too bad cash was short. You are one of the better tour guides on youtube. It would have been nice to visit other parts of the country and give additional feedback.

Wow, finally, I found someone visiting my country, thanks bro we are invisible from the world. How do you discover Eritrea amazing ❤❤

Thank you ❤❤❤ we love you

I am enjoying your videos. Thank you, sir.

thanks for the trip! i probably won't ever go but I visit through youtubers.

thank you for sharing, inshallah may god bless eritrea and make it as loving as we love it

Thanks for visiting. ❤❤❤

Asmara the most beautiful city in Africa. The haters don’t like to hear good things about 🇪🇷 Eritrea. This is a sour 💊 pill for them!

I did learn something from this video I had no idea there were more Puerto Ricans living on the mainland than their island. It's true

Welcome with truth News. Great man 👍👍👍👍👍❤ happy New yea 2024🎉🎉🎉

What a strange lost-in-time place - I'd love to visit. Every Eritrean I've met - probably a dozen over the years - have been great people. D.A., NYC

Thanks for the tour

Excellent report! Happy holidays Sly!

Would love to see you in the DRC. If you can.

Happy New Year! Thank you for sharing

🇪🇷BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY 🇪🇷 🇪🇷BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE 🇪🇷 🇪🇷BEAUTIFUL CULTURE 🇪🇷 🇪🇷BEAUTIFUL LEADERSHIP🇪🇷 🇪🇷PROUD TO BE ERITREAN🇪🇷 🙏GOD BLESS ERITREA 🙏

The most beautiful and peaceful city!! Forget about Credit Card ! You are amidst nice and wonderful people!!

Its very beautiful city for late 20 century

peace and love poeple of eritrea ❤❤❤❤

Much younger as you are to me, I must say you are such a wonderful and respectful young content creator.. I have enjoyed your Eritrea videos as a first time subscriber. You remind me of one beautiful Ethiopian lady vlogger by the name Feti's_ vlogs, whose videos are like tea (or coffee if in Ethiopia) and cake to me. I guess you'll know that as Africans, we value respect and that we get turned off by disrespectful language and childish behavior which are commonly passed off as content in many videos by other young people from your side of the planet, if you know what I am referring to.. I am working on touching down in Ethiopia and hopefully Eritrea sometime next year. Thanks for the advice and the experience you have shared on your trip there. It shows that Eritreans are wonderful people and one needs not to fear harm when in their country.. I wish you the best, health and safety on the next leg of your journey... (from Johannesburg)

God job 👍 God bless you. ❤ 🇪🇷

Thanks body keep the good work up

This video might have been taken 12-2pm, it’s break time for everyone to have a nap before returning to the afternoon routine. This time is the quietest time

My beloved Asmara 🇪🇷 . I’ve watched all your Asmara videos and I really enjoyed it. Thank Brother and specially for the accurate description of my people, Respectful and VERY WELL MANNERED. ዓይኒ አባይኩም ይደፈን ደቂ ዓደይ❤️🇪🇷

Thank you brother 🇪🇷

Look how clean is our country and save

How is weather in there? looks like a very nice city to live a peacefull life

Thanks bro 🙏 ❤

*Asmara my City Eritrea my Country*

🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷❤️❤️🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷 God bless great Eritrea 🇪🇷 and the people, the land of heroes also I wish long life & health to President ISAIAS AFWERKI and other GENERALS ✌️

thanks for your voice for the voiceless my Eritrea people brother

Happy New yrs brother✊🏿 just got back from Belize. Headed to Roatan next. Stay blessed

Eritrea has an interesting access to the red sea which she used for International shipment.

I love 💕💕 asmera so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thankfully bro ❤

It’s a really beautiful place🇪🇷

As long as they have this Genius as President there will be no future and unfortunately it looks like there is nobody around who could take over when he finally ends up in one of his own containers. This place will be the Titanic of Africa with him as Captain

Asmara reminds me of Santiago de los Caballeros in the Dominican Republic in the 1970's and 1980's people new each other, hardley any crime, everyone walking around all hours of the night with out fear., and then we started to modernize, capitalism, american culture influece, we lost hour essence, we don't even obseve siesta anymore., but most call it progres.

Awesome video Sly! I’m a new sub , your videos are insightful .

Thank you for visiting Asmara. Sadly you were unable visit outside capital due to the short of cash. My suggestion is before you travle you better discuss with Eritrean embassy in US and prepare someone back home to transfer you some money during your future visit.

Good video bro!

Bro I get it you don’t want to talk about politics in the country but the truth is people flee the country in thousands every month for the last 25 years, because of lack of freedom on every aspect you might think of 😢

Great video bro.

Thanks 🙏 your visit Asmara shekor ❤❤❤my lovely 🥰 city

Looks like you found something sweet that's holding you in Eritrea my brother...😀

I CANT BELIEVE YOU SHOWED THE PLACE I LIVED ,IT WAS INFRONT OF THE GRAVEYARD OF VETERANS. ❤

Interesting content

cant wait to see whats next

Asmera is beautiful ❤❤❤❤

The population of Asmara is said to be arpund 800,000. But Alot of Eritreans left the country. Many young people who are born and raises in Asmara are also immigrants in Ethiopia, Uganda, whole Europe and USA, Canada right now. Eritrea has immensely lost its people.

Born a d raised in Eritrea now living in Sweden I like asmara more and offcourse the reason is its my home country but apart from that it was engineered by Italians and it gives a different vibe to live there. I used to take walk every day, temperature is average and the style feels you are in old style italy. Beleive me That style is far better than Dubai. It gives a better feeling.

Congrats 100K

Thanks for promoting bro. The main stream media smears full of dirt on this humble and disciplined country and gvn't. That is the most dirty side of politics.

Happy New Year 2024 🇺🇸

Thanks Sly for taking us on tour of our capital city Asmera. I hoped you had a chance to visit Keren the 2nd largest city in Eritrea, a hub multicultural society. A city with world stage history due to the battle between Italians and English in the 2nd world War where the Italians were defeated. Btw when you started to video I saw the house of my wife's family house on the left side, then I saw clearly our hang out place, city park. I have enjoyed all your videos of Asmera. Thank you

I want to visit this city so badly. Lovely summary. Sorry, you were so restricted money wise.

Paying 550 in Asmara is straight robbery.

I have worked with a number of Eritrean expatriates. Excellent workers.

I like ur Eritrea assessment

We don't need use any others currency ,we appreciated ur visit

Nice video bro am going to Eritrea next month. Ive got so many questions for you :D Hit me up!

I am from Asmara. you are right it’s very expensive specially, with the wages you can get there and I understand you couldn’t go further with $700 specially the exchange and like you said you cannot even use any emergency credit card. Yes you can use credit card but you have to go to the government bank and it is costly to exchange it. It’s a horrible country. I left 42 years ago from there to Canada. I have been there a few times in between. I’m sad to see it this way. we have the worst dictator government. Used to be a beautiful country not anymore but thank you for your effort to go there and report what you can with limited resources..

❤🇪🇷❤️

Asmara Eritria looks like Cuba of Africa but very clean.

That is not fair place for the people of Eritrea, Nothing changed for decades , life is hard under the dictatorship... but people are hard working, respectful.

You must come to Ethiopia

❤❤❤❤🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷

A lot Eritreans live in Washington DC you see them at the airport

A little tip for you. You need a lot more than $700 when you travel abroad.

Brah, , congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 on the 100k, Did you get your plaque as yet ...

Nice

👉ERITREA💝🇪🇷👌👍👈 THE BLESSED LAND OF HEROES!!! its too precious for Eritreans!!!!!

When I hear Eritrea 🇪🇷 only one thing comes to mind Metal Gear Solid

Hello Sly, can you tell me what was the process for you to gain entrance to the country? I am aware that visa is needed and maybe other permissions.

Such y a nice place and these ppl floc8k uk

Yes I love is my Cantri and you can go to ceren or massawa

If you are afraid to walk in a sarker streets by yourself, go to Asmara, Eritrea. You will not have a problem at all ❤❤❤

2:00 that is one of those many things ( BRIGADE N' HAMEDU == The brigade ready to fight til the end and even die ) don't agree on with thebrutal Regime in Eritrea , and we want the Eritrean Regime to keep it real. - Give a fair and right exchange rate --Respect human rights - access to electicity and pure running water - stop harasindg intimidatin or even arresting ( for years with no fair trail ) the ordinary Eritrean people - stop the non-ending military service of the youth in SAWA. And no more WAR. - Eritrean needs the implementation of people serving constitution - New President and Cabinet which trully serve the interest of the Eritrean people - Promote the retun of diaspora people - Improve Educational system - Create equal and fair work opportunities to all Eritreans and ++++++++

If you see the city is empty then it's lunch time. The local culture is everybody goes home for Lunch even the children, high school, or employees they have have gathered together.
