One remark, Tommy. Derg (communists) came to power only in 1974 and stayed till 1991. Happy New Year!

@SabbaticalTommy Let me provide you a brief context regarding the tribulations faced by the Rastafarians and the broader conflicts within Ethiopia. Rastafarians endure persecution for their affection and respect for Ethiopian heritage and the national flag. This flag is despised by Oromo rebels who support independence. These rebels, advocating for an autonomous Oromia region, are hostile towards a united Ethiopia and reject Ethiopian unity, instead favoring an independent Oromia. Conflicts frequently erupt over the Ethiopian flag (colored green, yellow, and red, sans blue), with its possession seen as support for Ethiopian unity. Regarding the incident involving the destruction of a Rastafarian-owned hotel, it was an act primarily aimed at the Amhara people, known for their robust pro-Ethiopian stance, including their reverence for Ethiopia's history, flag, monarchy, and unity - values also shared by Rastafarians. As a result, Rastafarians suffer persecution due to their ideological similarity with the Amharas, whom Oromo rebels view as obstacles to establishing an Oromia free from Ethiopian influence. Unfortunately, the current government, shaped by ethnic federalism, is increasingly influenced by Oromo ethnic groups that align with separatist ideologies. This development has led to actions consistent with Oromo rebel ideologies, including the persecution of both Amharas and Rastafarians. In reaction, a group called "Fano" has risen in the Amhara region, adopting the same flag and ideals as the Rastafarians. They strive to dismantle ethnic federalism and advocate for a unified Ethiopia under a non-ethnic federal system. Positioned against the Oromo rebels and the government, which now favors Oromo rebel ideologies, Fano's stance leads to persecution of any group sharing similar beliefs or symbolism, especially in Oromia, including Shashemene. The Rastafarians' deep connection to Ethiopian history and culture is a primary reason for their persecution. The Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), with its ethnic-centric, pro-independence stance, has significantly influenced both the Oromia regional and the federal governments, now under the sway of Oromo groups supportive of the rebels.

They seem to have a lot of tribal and ethnic conflicts.

Why didn't you marry someone from your own kind in your own native country? Someone who you share the most in terms of identity, culture, social class? All you Western males (most of whom are maladaptive) who chose to leave your home countries to marry women from other nations with who you share nothing in common shows something is wrong with you not the nations you've left.

you are obsessed. it is unhealthy.

My comment was deleted for being to blunt so let me retype. People who post these types of comments have a sinister agenda and are trying to push a certain narrative. You couldn't find a wife in your own country (the US) so you travel to foreign countries to date and fool with women you share nothing with not race, not culture, not social class.

We get there

I just stumbled on this video and subscribed , I watched this video like watching new movie right to the end on his way back to Adis ababa. His will hit one million soon , I am so inspired ,

quality chanel always get less views and likes

Very true. He is the best

Because it's a rigged game and always has been.

He sure didn't waste any time cranking out kids.

Its not a contrast. just like 28:12 Both the Japanese core culture and the Rasta runs in-sync you drop in a Filipino or India nor Cherokee = runs in-sync. 🇷🇺 это то, что( this was derivative of that ---> )🇪🇹 ይህ ነበር Russia never white washed 100% of their Christianity Japanese sun | and a star = its not a contracts Egyptian sun god and Japanese sun god = is not a contracts so when the guy said the STAR represent our black people . No LIES TOLD people are too lazy to ask "blue print questions" like... where did you get those drums from? where did the concept of stars come from? Earth is not 2024 years old. Experiences is where shared culture comes from

The Japanese man is typically of an example if you become neck deep into cults and conspiracy theories.

None of this is very odd, people are people and there is a whole community of Japanese rastas in japan

Reverse Yasuke

Ethiopians are not junkie rastas you propagandist

That is not our culture. That is Rastafarian. We push them out of cities. That's why they stay in those villages. Anyways, stop being obsessed. There is nothing you should learn. You have nothing to do with us.

If he were the only Japanese Rastafarian living in Ethiopa, isn't the further qualifier "on the planet" superfluous?

@@Steevee14 How do you know there's not an alien planet out there with their own Japan, Ethiopia, and Rastafarians? The universe is a big place.

Derrrrrffff

@@brettzolstick989 nailed it... Lmao

hahahah hes soo cool lol

No you can't. The Bantus of Kenya have nothing in common with Ethiopia and Ethiopians.

You are more than welcome sir.

@@Sidek0Donkoro Slehonk new!!!

@@Brave-Is_Mine1 Donqorow enatin yeweladew new.

@@Sidek0hey what is your problem, if a Japanese can assimilate in to Ethiopian society why not for a Kenyan after all we are are God’s children, just don’t be dinkoro

The real party doesn't start until my birthday on the 2nd. I learned from my barber that I should celebrate my birthday for 'x' days based on my age. So, I celebrate for over two months

Happy new year, Tommy! Stay safe friend=)

መልካም አዲስ አመት. 2016 Ethiopian year 💚💛❤️🤫

❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

❤❤❤

Hope you had a good time ..I am Ethiopean in Australia ;)

Let me tell you... this video is misleading and innacurate

Yes the tribalists and genociders oromos killed other tribes of Ethiopia and the Rastas. They stole property of the ither ethnics and Rasta's. Africans please watch out and don't follow ethnic federalism, they are a shame and embarrassment for Africa and the whole black race of the world. The TPLF and the OLA introduced ethnic federalism shameful and backward.

They are racist

Are you friends with Bob Geldoff?

Thank you so much. Happy New Year 🎉and God bless you. 🙌

Not all and I do love them.

Thank you! Our country with all it's hardships is beautiful regardless.

You like them fetishesizing our people? Bc thats what theyve been doing in all these videos

"compulsive" viewing? Did you mean "compelling" viewing?

We do love each other it's just that some people with big agendas get in the day.

Do you think he clapped her cheeks?

City looks like a slum. Underdeveloped and very poor. No longer want to visit

@@tstones5187 You're talking about every US city north of Philly, right?

@@billwx3864 Talking about Addis ababa, looks terrible. no offence but they are very poor

bruh the vlogger is going to those specific places to experience it. Addis is really developed but have poor and rich side as any country in the world do.@@tstones5187

​@@tstones5187 Thank God, you are rich!

In Africa and discovering the earth through this channel 😅🙌🏽👌🏽

Not true we are fighting each other killing so many people

@Banks101 welcome if u visit...

Doesn't a sunset look pretty much the same no matter what continent you happen to be in?

most part of Ethiopia safer than Chicago, LA, or NYC. He is having fun by going all underground Tej house without getting robbed. Know that all of the bars he is going are underground and most of them unlicensed bars. Still safe.

most parts of africa is safe, beside actual warzones and terrorists infected areas.

You are right. In LA, they stole my excellent tablet.

This area he went to is actually not safe for some Ethiopian ethnic groups. He is safe because he is not from that ethnic group (and a foreigner)

In a day to day life, Ethiopia is one of the safest places. Occasional tribal conflicts flare up here and there, mostly in remote rural areas. Violent crimes are rare

He is infomer spy

✔️🌴 Just a person who loves REGGAE and BOB MARLEY like an Ethiopian in GREECE who started wearing DREADS and changed his name to DAVID MARLEY and became RASTAFARIAN 🌴✔️ .
