You'll NEVER Guess What I Found In Ethiopia! ( 

greetings from North Korea a very happy new year to you and your subbs

Thomas, thanks for all your efforts; please let us know what brand of t-shirts you wear when traveling in the humid tropics (Ethiopia exempted 😊)

Hi Tommy I discovered ur channel not that long ago and I've got to say thank you,,you have shown me places I could only dream of seeing,,you're videos are awesome and I just wanted to say thanks and wish you a very happy new year when it comes,,,stay safe Tommy 🎉thanks again from a very cold and wet Scotland 😂😂

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.

Thanks dear you know Even though we have a lot of internal issues, we are a community of risk-takers who go abroad and work to better family situations at home. Furthermore, we recognize that blackness is a pigment and not a race, and we condemn white supremacy in all contexts. Black communities' mentalities need to be improved, and South Africans must and another significant criticism directed at SA is their greater emphasis on matriarchal families. For a child to grow up to be a good, responsible citizen, a father's presence in the home is essential.

So true, my fellow South African

nah, you can tell is strugling

He's living a simple, peaceful and quiet life.

Not necessarily. I’m SAn and there are Asian men who stay in the most rural remote poor villages and open shops to feed their families back where home is. Man stays where he has to 🕊️

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.

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

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

Salami from miami

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.

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

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

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.

High class ethiopian culture actually has alot of similarities to japanese culture wich really went dont to the peasants when they transformed their country

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

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 💚💛❤️🤫

❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

❤❤❤

you're not keeping it real, with your "white guilt", ethiopia sucks so bad, i miss nairobi, i miss dar es salaam, i don't know why the swahili countries treat whites with the most love and respect, tanzania is my heart, followed by my beloved kenya, dodoma was kinda racist towards whites too, but that's why i specify then, that dar es salaam is my heart, followed by my beloved nairobi oh, and i love josey too, she is wife potential

@@frequentiis FYI, I have NO guilt whatsoever about anything… I have learned that through the love God our burdens can be systematically removed through steadfast prayer and unrelenting persistence. The ‘white guilt’ you imagine is the reflection of the prejudice that exists within your own mind. Prejudice is a deadly cancer that Satan spreads among those who have been hurt by uncaring and insensitive people. No one is perfect. Only Jesus Christ managed that … I understand being hurt by uncaring insensitive people. You have a right to take your complaints to Jesus Christ Himself but don’t apply your baggage to me.

@@phillockwood8414 fair enough, i'm a protestant christian myself, my brother, the 4 points i was making is #1 i call racism when i see racism #2 whitelivesmatter too, or, i love blacks but I hate this BLM hoax, #3 t's not white and black only, actually, the way asians hate whites, when i was in indonesia, malaysia, i love africans so much cuz most africans are humble, kind, loving, gentle, interesting how asians are frothing at the mouth racists compared to humble, loving, kind africans despite the last 500 years, which leads to #4, i have 0% white guilt cuz i i had 0% to do with last 500 years, im an orphan that grew up in abuse, i probably lived a harder life than some of these africans, white privilege? i never experienced white privilege, that's why i don't have white guilt, so stop the white guilt, and i was saying whitelivesmatter in asia, so its not black and white, i would say whitelivesmatter in mexico, colombia, so its not just black and white 1 john 4:18 perfect love casts out fear, so stop the white guilt than, take care, my brother, in Jesus name

@@phillockwood8414 maybe you don'y have white guilt, i believe you, well, i still give you the message to spread and share to all whites in africa, whitelivesmatter too, and stop this white guilt, as i noticed these europeans are FULL of white guilt, take care, brother, in Jesus name

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

This is far from the truth. Ethiopians are patriotic

I don't understand. Ethiopians Love their country more than anything. maybe u have some agendas.

@@ethiocanvas5808 you're like the only one that kept it real, ethiopia sucks so bad, i miss nairobi, i miss dar es salaam, i don't know why the swahili countries treat whites with the most love and respect, tanzania is my heart, followed by my beloved kenya, dodoma was kinda racist towards whites too, but that's why i specify then, that dar es salaam is my heart, followed by my beloved nairobi

Not true we are fighting each other killing so many people

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

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!

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 🌴✔️ .

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.

Do you think he clapped her cheeks?

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

@Banks101 welcome if u visit...

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

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

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

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

Beautiful women but none in the video plus it looks terrible in the video. Very poor and underdeveloped

@@tstones5187he didnt go big cities to look for chicks. he went deep rural village smaller cuntry side.

@@adamankind1onearthg So Addis Ababa isnt the big city?

they think all ethiopians women looks like ethiopians models lol @@tstones5187

​@@tstones5187stop crying. This is the part of the city that's supposed to look dirty. Like some market places in asia

Josie has a channel you may enjoy aswell

Jamaica is in every land because the knights of the round is still valid.

jamaica has nothing to do with ethiopia, it`s just this very small community of jamaicans that live in a village. and they will be sent back.

@@YonasMulugeta-y1zI thought Ethiopians were kind n generous ppl

@@YonasMulugeta-y1zwhy should they go back , why can’t they live there ?

Deep!! Keep spreading your wisdom mate pray you find what your looking for in life

Development isn't everything. And Japanese people not accept foreigners also. Japanese people are good but very ultra nationalist.

​@@Nowaynew777ultra nationalist? Nice way to say extremely xenophobic😊

@@Runcandle-principality-princeJust like the South African who hates other Africans.

Don't u see he got many friends ,100% sure he can't have that childhood memories in Japan

So what

@@filmontesfamichael3885why you so sensitive jela ras

No it’s not Ashenda is a Tigray tradition. Amharas just took it on.

Someone remind me if I ever go to Houston

Eritrea/Ethiopia are Habasa (Abyssinian) lands, not Kushite. The Aksumans used the term Kasa to designate the land of Kush. Although elements of Egyptian/Meroitic culture did have an influence on the art of pre-Aksuman Abyssinia.

Looks poor and dirty in the video. Needs to be more developed. That city looked terrible

@@heruy8274pre axumite damaat is cush. from south egypt to kenya is cushitic land. you ancestor married cushitic agew to settle by the help of byzantine greco roman after cush last dynasty loose war. your abyssinian settlement dream became true. suppsely you came from yemen mahra region. extending to adulis then fought back into ur ancestor land. stop twisting history has nothing to do with semetic axumite stalae statue.

@@heruy8274talk about your Eritrea but Ethiopians are mainly Kush except amhara and Tigre
