So convenient you guys voted for this country on Patreon because...KALEB AND I WENT HERE LAST YEAR! Lol I was looking for a reason to use my Ethiopia footage! Thanks Abdulahi for helping out in this video (he only had time to do a few regions), and to all the amazing people we met in the amazing country of #ETHIOPIA!

Love to Ethiopia from Argentina 🇦🇷♥️🇪🇹 I really wanna go there

Ethiopians look so beautiful and poetic. Such a wonderful and fascinating country. Love from South of India!

Hello i like dino nuggets

Love to Ethiopia from Italy. Fun Fact #1: Did you guys also know that Ethiopia helped South Korea during their war against North Korea, I think correct me if I got it wrong. Fun Fact #2: In Ethiopia there are a small amount of Italian schools, I know this because I was born in Italy but I grew up to the age of 7 in Ethiopia and went to an Italian School where they basically teach you stuff but in Italian. To the Ethiopians out there I reeaaaaaallllllyyy love your culture and language, which is why I converted my religion to Orthodox Christianity, and I'd appreciate it a lot if you tell me more facts by replying to my comment. Ethiopia shall live forever

Ethiopia is one of the most surprising and wonderful countries I've visited; so much history, beauty and great food.

Ethiopia is one of the countries that interest me most and I like their culture and people. I intend to visit it in the future with all love and appreciation from Saudi Arabia.

“they never got ethiopia” - Bill Wurtz Holy Moly I didn’t know this comment would spark ww3, lol

Love to Ethiopia 🇪🇹 from Armenia 🇦🇲! Fun Fact: We are both the only Apostolic Christian nations. Edit: to clarify, I mean that the Amharic people in Ethiopia have the same church as us which you Ethiopians call “Ethiopian Orthodox, which is extremely similar to our Armenian Apostolic.” , we both have VERY similar Alphabet (search it up). And we both make same style coffee. Cheers to the Best country in Africa, From Yerevan 🇦🇲

10:08 : WhOMpst’d foRd’th’d-whiDth’d Me : Is this the language of the gods?

This is one of the countries in Africa i'd like the most to visit. Greetings from Brazil!

Cool video! I'm half Italian half Ethiopian (funny, I know), my father comes from the Amhara region but I was born and raised in Italy. It's true, they are incredibly proud of their Country and travelling across Ethiopia you can see a ton of different features on their faces due to such ethnic variety.

@Geography Now Barbs are you a Lord of the Rings fan?? Did you know that locations in the Lord of The Rings have been inspired by some places in Ethiopia. Gondor/Gondar. Barud-dur/Bahir Dar, Rohan the old name of Roha(Lalibela) and Harad/Harar.

Have always wanted to go to Ethiopia, Amhara and Oromo are such cool languages and the Ge'ez script is fascinating

Awassa is such a beautiful and friendly city. I stayed there for 2 weeks. Next time I will visit Amhara. I'm a veteran and spent a long time in the US military and this is my favorite country. This country has captured my heart. The people are so beautiful and agreeable. Addis Ababa is a fast growing city and I think Ethiopia has a great future! I have to mention the coffee here is by far the best coffee I've ever had and I'm a coffee snob. I hope one day to retire and live in this country.

I'm a Jewish Ethiopian Havesha, and I'm proud of it!

Another beautiful country in africa and worth a visit.

As a Somalia I went to Ethiopia last year 2019, it was my first time i been there..in Addis Ababa it was really nice place and i met friendly people..my trip has changed my perception about Ethiopia generally...as you know there have been many wars between Ethiopia and Somalia for centuries..i came to know that the problem was not really from the Ethiopian people but from the politicians who come to power which they try to pursue a fascist policies against their neighbouring Somalia. It was really different from what I thought...thanks to the people of Ethiopia i hope we will live in peace and have a mutual respect for each other. I believe if we would have been friends from the beginning we would have established a good partnership in many sectors mainly economic partnership and cultural integration where we share a long border and cultural similarities as well as our Cushitic background. Somalia would really offer Ethiopia a sea access for port and Maritime transportation for their economic backbone. Let’s just collaborate peacefully we really need each other than our differences.

Isn’t The Weeknd’s parents from Ethiopia?

Ethiopia is a fascinating country I would love to visit in future

I was gonna charge but i couldnt miss this c:

Yep Christianity in Ethiopia predates Europe 4:48 So it's not a foreign religion as there are 1600 year old monasteries and some which existed before that.

"The coffee people of Ethiopia" Me: *FLAPS WINGS INTENSIVLEY* "45% of coffee in Ethiopia" *PACKS BAGS AND MOVES TO ETHIOPIA*

🇪🇹 This was great Love Love Love Ethiopia 💚💛❤

0:03 killer week

Being half ethiopian , i'm so happy to see this

Ethiopia is a country that not many people talk about because when people ask where I’m from and I say Ethiopia, they’re like “Where in the world is that?” So thank you Barbs for making Ethiopia proud and I’m so happy to be an ETHIOPIAN!!🇪🇹

Every time I see Geography Now posting a video about the country of my origins, I always get overwhelmed with pride and joy. U guys made a great job covering the best part of all regions. Great job guys!!

My favorite African country!

Ethiopia: Land of origins.

Ethiopia is a wonderful country love it love it love it...can't wait to get back there. Just a wonderful place to visit😎

Even if i already know most of the thing you said i was like 😲 in ever word keep up the good work love from 🇪🇹

Lake Tana is the source of Blue Nile, which provides 80% of the Nile. Enjoyed the vid : )

Love to Ethiopia from Argentina! 🇪🇹❤️🇦🇷 you have a wonderfully interesting country, you must be proud!

I went Ethiopia 2 time it's amazing country I love their coffee and anjera

Found this channel a couple weeks back during quarantine, I’m a big fan of geography and have a fascination for learning about other countries and cultures. These videos are amazing, very well researched, and creative, keep up the great work!!

Do Mexico's 🇲🇽 states next pls! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ❤🇪🇹

Land of Origins, Thanks for the coverage Paul!!!!

correction: the letter on your shirt is geez alphabets. amharic and tigrgina uses that alphabet. and amharic is the working language not official languge.each region has its own working languge.

Well done 👍! That was by far one of the best introductory Videos on Ethiopia and its regions and actually with some depth! Thank you!

Ah, I recently did a short PowerPoint presentation on Ethiopia for a class! It was focused on the history of the past 200 years. I really enjoyed learning about this country. (And yes, I watched your Ethiopia episode as a starting point!) 🇪🇹

14:40 Aksum is getting so powerful, they like to build a long stick

Great video on the different regions of Ethiopia ... pretty spot on

Great job on this! Thank you

Well done with this video fella, Ethiopia is *such* a difficult country to cover in just 1 video, it's so damn diverse and complex. I've been fascinated by the place for years and was lucky enough to visit a good few times when I lived in East & North Africa. I don't think there's anywhere on Earth more unique than Ethiopia, and I truly hope the current hostilities don't cause the country to fall apart, tense times.

13:25 That ”Ensete” stuff kind of reminds me of ”Pettuleipä” (”bark bread”). We actually made it once at camp school back on 7th grade, to get a feel for, how Finns persevered through ”Suuret nälkävuodet” (”the great hunger years”) of 1866-1868. I absolutely loved it, it tasted like perfectly normal wheat or oat bread, and even the dried ”pettu” (”tree bark”), itself, tasted delicious, it was like healthy potato chips. Really just the idea of using wood material for food is, what reminded me of that; otherwise the dishes have little to nothing in common. The ”pettu” was also incredibly difficult to harvest, as it’s really not the outer-most skin of the tree, itself, but the extremely thin layer just under it.

By far one of the best videos I've seen on this channel.

I'm a Pakistani and Ethiopia has always fascinated me, would love to visit this beautiful country one day. Fun fact: In Pakistan we have a sweet by the name of "habshi halwa" which is commonly eaten.

with due respect the video is little biased against Cushitic groups. You show urban Habesha, but you show rural for somalis, Oromo and Afars. I do not want to be negative but I notice that. In addition, you mention the ancient history of habesha kingdoms , but you did not mention Oromo kingdoms like Garo/Jimma, Somali kingdom like Adal and Afar kindom like Aussa. . Your Chanel is informative . keep up

I'm very Proud to be Ethiopian 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹

Thank you for an amazing video 😊 sending u love from Ethiopia ♥️

Thanks Barbs for more teaching videos!! I'm always waiting for the next video!! And i started to gathering stuf from PORTUGAL to send you for Friday funmail!! 😉🙏👍

"It's amazing how the country holds itself together." That aged well.

barby :im learning along side with you... me : who teach me??

Thanks for the video! Spent two and a half weeks there in March just as the pandemic was getting bad. Pretty lucky really, possiblity the most interesting place I've ever been. Ethiopia has so much to offer!

Thank you Abdul! well explained!

If I have the money to visit an African country one day, Ethiopia will be the first for sure!

VERY interesting video. Makes me want to visit because I LOVE Ethiopian coffee and food... injera + shiro and atkilt wot, and their coffee is amazing, rich and flavorful. Not only that but tons of different cultures and an amazing history. Thanks for this video!

Incredible content guys!!!!!

Really nice video Keep it up! Greetings from Spain

Love from Brazil to Ethiopia 🇧🇷❤️🇪🇹 Blessings to all the Ethiopian peoples and cultures 🙏

Fun fact: "Ethiopia" the word has origins in Ancient Greek as it means "burned people." Story goes that Helios, god of the sun, let his mortal son drive his chariot to drag the sun across the sky for a laugh. He lost control because he was a silly mortal, and dragged the sun too close to the earth over Ethiopia and burned the skin of everyone in the land. Ancients Greeks believed some whacky stuff.

Amazing content!

I always enjoy seeing Barb's trip footage as B roll for these areas.

Ethiopia is a beautiful country, I wish to go there someday Next time, do Indonesia or Mexico

Correction: The Ethiopian Alphabet is not actually Amharic , it is “ geez” the original language that is considered the mother of Tigrigna and Amharic.

Yes! Thank you!! You did great in the video, but again thank you!

Loved this video, Paul! :)

Now that your channel is much bigger than when you first started geography now, I just wanna say I think when you finish Zimbabwe, it would be so cool if you did the whole thing over again but this time visit each country. I know that might be a bit unrealistic lol but I'd just love to see you visit some of those countries. Then again there are 195 countries and I realise legal issues may get in the way but imagine how legendary it would be if you did visit each one in person!

5:25 "angcient"

The content on your channel is so interesting! As a small creator who also makes content about interesting facts, I am inspired!

Great Video , Thank you

We call "Nile" " Abbay" in Ethiopia

In 1948, Britian turned the Somali territory of Ogaden over to Ethiopia. In 1977, Somalia invaded Ethiopia in an attempt to regain the Ogaden also known as West Somalia and Somali Galbeed. Because of alliance, the Soviet Union supplied Ethiopia (also supported by Yemen and Germany) with over 15,000 Cuban troops and Soviet militants during the 1977-78 Ogaden war shifting the advantage to Ethiopia and resulting in Somalia's defeat. The Ogaden National Front (ONLF) still continue to carry out guerrilla activity in the region today. Somaliweyn or Greater Somalia has not been lost in our hearts. Once we rise again, the mission for unification will continue in the future. Inshallah.

great video, learnt a lot about Ethiopia

Great video Kaleb did a good job!

Some of the most beautiful women in the world are from Ethiopia!! They are tall,have great skin tone and natural hair!!! I'd for sure like to meet someone from there!!

A video of Italian regions would be amazing! In ITALY every region is different!!

Excellent explanation!!!!

Thank you this was a great Episode. It is very surprising how different the country is. how different the culture groups are .... anyways ... thank you Barbs!!!!

Ethiopia 🇪🇹 a great 👍 African country N.I.P. Ghana 🇬🇭 says they should be our main trading partners alongside Egypt 🇪🇬 African trade is very important and a great way to each other as Africans 🏳️🏴🏁

Tigray was The one I was looking for. I’ve got my eye on that region and Nagorno-Karabakh.

bro that just a great information you got about us! and abdu i want to say u just did good job too!

Man the native Ethiopian is sooo informative and his delivery is Soo good you should include him in u r videos More often

To the _person_ who sees this, I want to wish you a _blessed_ day showered with *love* and *happiness* , *laughter* and *joy* ! May you have a *prosperous* life ahead!!😊 Love truly from a mini artist youtuber!❤🇦🇹🇦🇫🇦🇬

12:12 there’s nothing called “an Ethiopian somali” just say somali region or western somali or ogadenia.

I have been following this channel for a long time and I am grateful for Barbato's aim to make KZfaq a platform with more culture.

Lovely information about a beautiful country and the eye candy that is Abdul 😍

Not to mention the fact that the Ogaden region was actually part of Somalia and it was given to Ethiopia by the British colonials. 99.9% of the population favor Somalia and hope that one day they reunite with their country🇸🇴❤️

I love Ethiopia, it's a shame we tried to colonize it 😪😪😪

amazing, continue it

Great information!🤓
