Thank you Timir for sharing this (also your other videos of Keren, Massawa, Ali Gidir/Cotton plantation, Agordat, Expo and car race in Asmara, etc). They are a rare glimpse into life in Eritrea in the late 1960s and early 70s. As a Hindi-film-loving kid (like most kids at that time) growing up in Keren, I remember receiving from Asmara little portraits of my favorite stars (Rajesh Khanna, Asha Parekh, Mumtaz, Sunil Dutt, Pran, Shashi Kapoor, Sharmila Tagore, ...). They were sold at Kothari's store in Asmara.
Yeah you're right because back then Eritrea was part of Ethiopia and the Emperor did great work to make sure Asmara was the second main city in Ethiopia after Addis Ababa it was beautiful
A Lots of grettings 👋❤ TIMIR ❤👋,This is irreplaceable historical video footage thanks you filmed and made available to viewers. There are many Eritrians especially the ELF and EPLF fighters who would rather have hidden such documentary that reveals much about the positive relationship between the Royal Haileslasie and the Eritrian people's, the utterly astonishing .The utterly remarkable good job 🙏

A place secretly in the heart of many. The best side of Asmara must have been the fact that the world was living there in a way or another. Hopefully time will give to Asmara her deserved place in the world. But I'm certain that the Eritreans will manage to do so 🙂. Many thanks for the videos anyway, I've really appreciated it.
Ya Asmara in its glory days, I remember and can say smell the aroma of combustion, shuq, Fiat, whaaaa the real Asmara. Thank you for sharing my beautifull city I was born and grown up. ❤
@@samsomberhe7220 the best is yet to come. The sole positive side of the mess that followed this video is that today Eritrea is yours in the proper way. Here it wasn't (and it's not even about Ras Tafari). This kind of Asmara (a global centre) will be a thing again, because you are incredibly interesting people and you're already attracting the world.

@Ringularity Asmara-Maer will back even better once Thd Evil of Adi Hallo is gone for good. Time is approaching I will be running for Mayor of Asmara. I will see you then and get your vote.
@@yohannesaradom8656 I feel you man, but, as far as super hardcore, Afwerki was somehow required to recover from the BS that Ethiopians did to you. You people have truly broken your back for the last 30 years, and jeez, you have achieved already a ton of stuff relying basically on nothing but yourself. Stay sure that this period is coming to an end, but you guys must keep the mentality that make you so special. Democracy and freedom are certainly better than a dictatorship, but you need of the assets and the cash to afford them. If you went democratic in 1993, given the disaster that Eritrea was back then, stay sure that today she would be just another piece of Africa in the hands of the West. Instead after these 30 years you are almost ready for freedom and democracy, without the risk to see your land sliced as a cake again, like in the rest of the African continent. So, as far as you'll never see me openly supporting Afwerki, I am ready to admit that it was an harsh necessity following the violence and destruction brought by Ras Tafari, Menghistu and TPLF in your land. A land that should have been simply given to you without Italians or Ethiopians since 1941. Instead you had to go through another 60 years of senseless delirium, and now that gap had to be solved. Well, my man, stay sure that you are doing an egregious job and there is no chance that Eritrea won't shine again. Eritrea is your life, not just a nation. I'm sure that in the next 10-15 years you'll start to see an increasingly bigger pay off that will lead you to both democracy and freedom, but also in a land that you can be sure it will always remain yours. And this ain't just rare in Africa, it's the sole case. This is why the Western media love to throw shit on your land and people. The West expect you to bow, and you don't. And this is why I'm such a great fan of your cause. The real ownership of Eritrea MUST be yours. For the rest you'll make it man, step by step you'll surely make it, and I truly wish you to achieve your political goals aswell. But trust me when I say that the best way to honour the martyrs it's exactly what you guys are doing and, even for an outsider like me, it's a joy for the eyes to see what you are achieving all together. It's very evident how psychologically important Eritrea is for you all, so make sure to keep always the positivity and see the glass half filled, rather than half empty. The future of Eritrea is definetely bright, and that's because of you all.

Are you kidding? It is all about Asmara Eritrea not about the Freemason devil Haileselassie. He may be a Majesty to you but to Eritreans he is worst than Lucifer himself. I give credit to Mengistu for treating him the way he deserved. Because of Haileselassie the devil that Ethiopia is going through a difficult time now. You can’t cross Eritreans and not pay the price.
@@tt-lk3jc Actually Italians may have been the architects but it was Eritrean labor and materials that built Asmara. Look at historical pictures. Not only that, Eritreans built Addis Ababa. We have never been anybody’s servant. We work hard to earn a living. We do not beg and wait for American or Canadian expired wheat. Your country is known for serving the white master for food aid. Eritreans are proud and independent minded not cowards and sellouts like your people.
The golden years will never come again like before, Eritrea will actually get worse than what we are now. the country completely underground never rises again.
This is what you call annexing a country Eritrea forcibly and disregarding its people's desire to be independent, with the help of a foreign country, England!!! Where is the justice in this?!!! I congratulate Eritreans, despite all the odds, in securing their hard-won freedom and independence. Looking at the beauty of Asmara and Eritrea as a whole it's worth the fight for and sacrifices Eritreans had to make to achieve independence! Congratulations Eritrea !!! 🇪🇷 👏 ❤️

Some even say Ethiopia didn’t do nothing in Eritrea, can you see how hate fool towards Ethiopians ? Real adgis still don’t get it, “any ones hates you hates him mor a lot more”
That time in Asmara only 100 factors people are Coming for Ethiopia for work After 1991 Eritreans are going to Ethiopia for work these 100 factors are Lost by EPLF .
Asmara in its glory days. My Asmara- the place I was born, the city that I have grown up, the city I am from. And it has been destroyed by its own people now and God willing, one day it will be back to its former glory days. My heart aches for it.
How different our views are when we look from different corners. There is no right or wrong. This will remain a matter of projection of our very human nature. We may agree that the Queen of the Horne has aged.

This is the result of the British and the US government's conspiracy over the people of Eritrea. Now Eritrea is a free and independent nation. Hailessilasie had no power and the ability to annex Eritrea with Ethiopia. Eritrean people was relatively developed than the Hailesilase Ethiopian people who were under a feudal landlord Society
Your grandfather wasn't even allowed to learn past 4th grade under your colonial masters. Once Ethiopia and Italia left how much more have you developed? Where are your diaspora tax dollars going? Donkoro Hizb nachu
I am also Eritrean and agree with you, bro. I am Eritrean and the sate we r now in is undescribable. Whoever tells the truth is told that he is Woyane from the Lunatics.
I don't support Haile Selassie, he was a brutal dictator. He started the war in Eritrea and caused a lot of misery to the people of Eritrea and northeastern part of Ethiopia.
I respect your perspective. My intent of sharing this film is purely to give life to a film taken 50+ years ago by someone who loved the people and country of Ethiopia and present day Eritrea. It also stands as an interesting historical documentation of life and times in those days. The good news is the film is silent - so no one is expressing any opinion. Everyone will have their own personal mental commentary as they watch it.
@@TPremjee first of all I thank you too much for this documentary video .the second of my opinion is the past history of the world were brutal dictatorship so as I am an Eritrean we must help our minds to be free from victims mentality
@@TPremjee Thank you for posting this video. However it is not an opinion what Haileselassie did to our people conspiring with America and Britain to deprive us of our ancestors land by annexing us with Ethiopia. We had no say in the matter as it was decided for us. At the time of this film people were being massacred, villages being burned with people inside and many people rotting in jail for opposing the occupation. At the same time our freedom fighters were gaining strength and making the enemy shiver. This footage is historic but unfortunately for the shah it was a dark spot in our history as he was supporting the occupation. Our situation was same as Palestine. Thank God for our smart and courageous leaders we got our independence. I would expect a little humanity and be sensitive to the Eritrean people suffering.
@@SelamEri-lx3km Thank you for your comments. I respect your sentiments. Like my father, whose film this is, I have nothing but love for the people of Eritrea.
@@TPremjee I am sure he was loved and respected by our people as well. I appreciate taking us back to the past however painful it was. Sometimes it is necessary to face the painful past in order to heal. Thank you and keep posting them. I love it.
The question is what were the eritrean ppl thinking at that time? They were thinking how to get rid of hileselasie, thanks to minilek Eritrea was separated from ethio for more than 50 years at that time,
Minilik didn’t separate us from Ethiopia. We were always separate. Before Italians Eritrea used to be known as Bahri Negassi. But yes Eritreans were opposed to Haileselassie and his brutal occupation.
@@realrasta7178 the were from Tigray. Ethiopia didn’t fight Italy by itself. Italians would have won if Eritreans didn’t fight on the Ethiopian side. In 2021 even the ragtag TPLF almost reached Addis Abeba. So stop bragging based on propaganda.
How could Ethiopia can lose her beautiful city Asmara I h e r beautiful state in general Eritrea the way she did I'll tell you how when you have bad rats sold out bandas doesn't care about their country Ethiopia somehow someway got the power back in 1991 that's basically what happened suddenly back in 1991 very unfortunate and sad
I wonder what shabia and woyane brought for their followers in the end. One can say more displacement, more poverty, more doom and gloom. The cycle will continue. Enjoy your misery! You brought it to yourself.
Once we have a democratically elected government, we will build beautiful cities. Look at Eritreans building nice things in Angola, Juba, Kampala and Nairobi and the rest of Africa. This destruction going on in Eri will end one day, bro
Haile selassie stoped mejor investments in Eritrea as that time to prioritize Addis or mehal ager example vw car assembly they were refused to invest in Eritrea they didn't want to invest in Ethiopia because of distance from the red sea ,then they invested it in Brasil or Nigeria there are many cases also the geat east african steel work now in Kenia and wenn the Derg came to power the Airport of Asmara changed it from international to local all international scools closed italian school only up to 8th grade higher than that Ou must go to Addis all consulate closed they killed systematicaly spare parts for fabrics in eritrea should be allowed and budgeted from central government in ethiopia never happened it was part of the war strategy to kill eritrea economicaly so Eritrea is strugling this war imposed on it
If Ethiopians did all this why we need any kind of relation except demarcation ? Specially if I was Eritrean I stand against any kind of relation with Ethiopia even diplomatic it’s un necessary, or we are prepared our kids to fight in the coming future, Eritreans don’t need anything from Ethiopia but demarcation with fence and big wall !!!!!!!! Peace
Lol keep on crying. You wished to get Eritrea. You didn't win against Eritrea despite you having 12 times the population and massive financial and military funding from a superpower.
THE ITALIANS KEPT ALL THE BUILDING, STREET, and Infrastructure up-to-date and clean. When the Africa people took over Asmara, they completely trashed the city. Sad sad
If there is a city that shapes the identity of its people, Asmera would be on the top list. It would been great to add the time, could this be in the beginning of 1970th?

This is the result of the British and the US government's conspiracy over the people of Eritrea. Now Eritrea is a free and independent nation. Hailessilasie had no power and the ability to annex Eritrea with Ethiopia. Eritrean people was relatively developed than the Hailesilase Ethiopian people who were under a feudal landlord Society
Your grandfather wasn't even allowed to learn past 4th grade under your colonial masters. Once Ethiopia and Italia left how much more have you developed? Where are your diaspora tax dollars going? Donkoro Hizb nachu
Now Asmara is in opposite side because of this brutal regime Esayas must see this video how he mess the country
Oh please, save it

Why does it matter to you You should be concerned about Mekele and how long before it turned into dust. Qondaf Agame.
I am also Eritrean and agree with you, bro. I am Eritrean and the sate we r now in is undescribable. Whoever tells the truth is told that he is Woyane from the Lunatics.

I don't support Haile Selassie, he was a brutal dictator. He started the war in Eritrea and caused a lot of misery to the people of Eritrea and northeastern part of Ethiopia.
I respect your perspective. My intent of sharing this film is purely to give life to a film taken 50+ years ago by someone who loved the people and country of Ethiopia and present day Eritrea. It also stands as an interesting historical documentation of life and times in those days. The good news is the film is silent - so no one is expressing any opinion. Everyone will have their own personal mental commentary as they watch it.
@@TPremjee
first of all I thank you too much for this documentary video .the second of my opinion is the past history of the world were brutal dictatorship so as I am an Eritrean we must help our minds to be free from victims mentality
@@TPremjee Thank you for posting this video. However it is not an opinion what Haileselassie did to our people conspiring with America and Britain to deprive us of our ancestors land by annexing us with Ethiopia. We had no say in the matter as it was decided for us. At the time of this film people were being massacred, villages being burned with people inside and many people rotting in jail for opposing the occupation. At the same time our freedom fighters were gaining strength and making the enemy shiver. This footage is historic but unfortunately for the shah it was a dark spot in our history as he was supporting the occupation. Our situation was same as Palestine. Thank God for our smart and courageous leaders we got our independence. I would expect a little humanity and be sensitive to the Eritrean people suffering.
@@SelamEri-lx3km Thank you for your comments. I respect your sentiments. Like my father, whose film this is, I have nothing but love for the people of Eritrea.
@@TPremjee I am sure he was loved and respected by our people as well. I appreciate taking us back to the past however painful it was. Sometimes it is necessary to face the painful past in order to heal. Thank you and keep posting them. I love it.

The question is what were the eritrean ppl thinking at that time? They were thinking how to get rid of hileselasie, thanks to minilek Eritrea was separated from ethio for more than 50 years at that time,
Minilik didn’t separate us from Ethiopia. We were always separate. Before Italians Eritrea used to be known as Bahri Negassi. But yes Eritreans were opposed to Haileselassie and his brutal occupation.

Who were the "Ascari" and what did they do to Ethiopia?
@@realrasta7178 the were from Tigray. Ethiopia didn’t fight Italy by itself. Italians would have won if Eritreans didn’t fight on the Ethiopian side. In 2021 even the ragtag TPLF almost reached Addis Abeba. So stop bragging based on propaganda.
@@SelamEri-lx3km bade time story for ur kids? You have NEVER involved in Adwa!
How could Ethiopia can lose her beautiful city Asmara I h e r beautiful state in general Eritrea the way she did I'll tell you how when you have bad rats sold out bandas doesn't care about their country Ethiopia somehow someway got the power back in 1991 that's basically what happened suddenly back in 1991 very unfortunate and sad
I wonder what shabia and woyane brought for their followers in the end. One can say more displacement, more poverty, more doom and gloom. The cycle will continue. Enjoy your misery! You brought it to yourself.

Why build extra when you have enough. Donqoro agame. Why do you watch Eritrean video if it upset you. Poor miserable bustard
Once we have a democratically elected government, we will build beautiful cities. Look at Eritreans building nice things in Angola, Juba, Kampala and Nairobi and the rest of Africa. This destruction going on in Eri will end one day, bro

Haile selassie stoped mejor investments in Eritrea as that time to prioritize Addis or mehal ager example vw car assembly they were refused to invest in Eritrea they didn't want to invest in Ethiopia because of distance from the red sea ,then they invested it in Brasil or Nigeria there are many cases also the geat east african steel work now in Kenia and wenn the Derg came to power the Airport of Asmara changed it from international to local all international scools closed italian school only up to 8th grade higher than that Ou must go to Addis all consulate closed they killed systematicaly spare parts for fabrics in eritrea should be allowed and budgeted from central government in ethiopia never happened it was part of the war strategy to kill eritrea economicaly so Eritrea is strugling this war imposed on it
If Ethiopians did all this why we need any kind of relation except demarcation ? Specially if I was Eritrean I stand against any kind of relation with Ethiopia even diplomatic it’s un necessary, or we are prepared our kids to fight in the coming future, Eritreans don’t need anything from Ethiopia but demarcation with fence and big wall !!!!!!!! Peace
Asmera is Distroyed Now No life No Humanity Sins after Sins
This is agame‘a wish who kicked you 2 years ago 😂
Thank you Golden Years Now Asmera is HELL The worst place on Earth.
Lol keep on crying. You wished to get Eritrea. You didn't win against Eritrea despite you having 12 times the population and massive financial and military funding from a superpower.
THE ITALIANS KEPT ALL THE BUILDING, STREET, and Infrastructure up-to-date and clean. When the Africa people took over Asmara, they completely trashed the city. Sad sad
If there is a city that shapes the identity of its people, Asmera would be on the top list. It would been great to add the time, could this be in the beginning of 1970th?
It should be sometime between 1968 and 1972. There doesn't seem to be any information about this visit in all of Google other than this film!
