- Rick Steves' Europe © 2020 | Venturing beyond Europe, and with local experts as his guides, Rick uses Ethiopia as a classroom for understanding global hunger and extreme poverty - and how to beat it. Together, we witness the importance of water, education, empowering women, and nutrition during a child's first thousand days. And we see firsthand the impact of globalization and climate change. Our souvenir: A vivid appreciation of how ending hunger is possible - and how smart and modern development aid is the key. #ricksteves #ethiopia

I am happy that Ethiopia is developing. Love to Ethiopian People from India.
Thanks for your best wish
Ethiopia is a very resilient and a very promising land of hard working people. Wish all the Ethiopian Brothers and Sisters the success in their endeavours of developing their country. God Bless you, friends. Greetings from Pakistan.
Best wishes to Ethiopia! And all African countries. Greetings from Poland.

hi my friends are you or happy ❤️💗😇
Best wishes to Ethiopia. Greetings from INDIA 🇮🇳
Indians love to mention themselves
Watching Rick makes me optimistic about the future. You know the media is just about how there is terror in one country. Thank you Rick.
I pray for Ethiopia to overcome it's challenges as it develops love from Kenya
Love you my Kenyan brother
To everyone watching this video - the presenter compared the size of Ethiopia to that of Italy!
The size of Ethiopia is 1,104,300 sq km while Italy is 301,340 sq km - this makes Ethiopia 266% larger than Italy. Thank you for the video but I hope the presenter will correct this huge mistake.
Size does t matter Ethipia is 100 times less dev than Italy Poverty hunger cities crammed with poor hungry poorly dressed people I don't know if any concerned govt about rural people and rural housing is there ?
@@navneetsahay196 bruh he's referring to what was said at the beginning of the video, when he said italy was the same size as ethiopia
I knew this sounded wrong. Thanks for correcting it.
This kind of life about Africa is more valuable, allowing the world to see the life of Africans
My best friend was born and raised in Ethiopia until 2013. She now lives in Chicago and goes to school in Madison alongside me. Thanks so much for doing an episode about her home country. We absolutely loved it.
We who have much need to give to those who have little. I pray that Ethiopia and all those countries/cities that are struggling can keep improving.
That's my country ❤️❤️
Ethiopia ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Justin Y. I don't see how it belongs to somalia considering the fact ethiopia is actually older than somalia. Also somalia is too weak and poor to even think about conquering ethiopia
Keep rising up Ethiopia may God bless you and keep you safe. Greetings from Philippines 🇵🇭❤️🇪🇹

Hello 🇪🇹🤝🇵🇭🖤
We thank you 🇪🇹♥🇵🇭😍
I have been watching Rick Steves since I was a kid. This is my favorite travel of his yet.
Oh you are finally in my wonderful ancient native country of Ethiopia 🇪🇹 Steve!! Im an Ethiopian American here in Minnesota and love your amazing show, Rick Steve's Europe! Ethiopia 🇪🇹 ,with its unparalleled wonderful ancient proud history is definitely a wonderful country to visit !!! I love your shows and watch them whenever I can!! Do keep up the great work please!!!
I hope to visit someday, looks amazing! 😊
I have been to Ethiopia 3 times. Ethiopia has a special place for me. I met my wife in Ethiopia, I also married there. I have been to Addis , gerji , Bishoftu and Mekele. It is a beautiful country from all levels.
Am Ghanaian but Ethiopia is my favourite country in Africa
Thank you Rick Steves for featuring Ethiopia. This alone impacts a positive message to the world. Stay safe in your travels!
Love from india,Ethiopia have huge growth potential they need to keep a watch on population,otherwise they are going to have same problems as India
Long long ago I wished to travel and see Eithopia. This video gave me an insight. It is heartening to understand that empathy towards the less fortunate can indeed create a better world.. And then there is a silver lining against all dark clouds - that of HOPE.. For a better world for everyone :)
Do it! It's one of our favorite countries!
@@lostamonglocals5382 yes after this corona troubles are done with, the world over
You should visit. However, don’t be a white savior. I can tell you that no matter how poor these people might be, they don’t need assistance from rich foreigners. They must learn to develop for themselves.
@@Kazilikaya I just wish to experience the life there. Nothing more and as a veterinarian would try to be of some help if any at all
@@Kazilikaya What we need is for white people to stop interfering with our politics and our economies to engage in fair trade and to stop stealing our resources then we won't have too much of a problem developing.
We love you Rick Steves, we learn so much from you!
I love your travel videos. One minor correction - Ethiopia's size is almost four time bigger than Italy.
yes thank you! i thought i was the only one who noticed this slip of tongue
That is great and necessary correction.
Yet lacks the rich art and culture.

Ethiopia is an astonishing country with splendid views, friendly people, and delicious cuisine. It was on a direct path to developing and improving living standards. Unfortunately, it now is involved in a military conflict, which causes only harm to the citizen.Ethiopia`s cultural heritage has really impressed me, so I want to visit this country so much , but I don`t want to put my family at risk because I always travel with them.
For a foreigner you have diagnosed the problems, and oportunities for Africa really well. You have also given a very balanced solution on what the attitude of those priviledged should be. Great work
after watching this videos , I hope Ethiopeans shall over come all problems and developing one of the best in Africa
I’ve actually been to Mekelle back in 2015 with my university = UCL DPU. Back then we worked with the local university on a project regarding urban agriculture...afterwards i also took a short break in gondar
its a shame that the recent violence has taken a lot of lives...RIP
I’m from the very city of Mekelle. We’ve worked hard to change our circumstances but this war has brought us back decades 😔
@@vibes5114 I honestly hope that you guys will get back on your feet soon...please stay safe
@@yux.tn.3641 thank you for the good wishes sir/ma’am.
Having been a volunteer Physical Therapist for Malawi Against Polio (1991-1993), I've had both frustration and hope for our world. It is great that Rick has decided to shed light on some of our world's challenges, and some of the possible solutions. I would also like to see episodes that address overpopulation, access to family planning, and how having smaller families is better for everyone. Additionally, it would be nice if Rick could include a list of companies and organizations we could support, and what changes we could make to improve our world.
Thank you so much, Rick Steves! The world needs more people like you. Edu-tainment!

Please do more of these! Show the world beyond European cities.
in fairness for the ethiopians. i live as an overseas worker for a state university in ethiopia for almost a decade and the place was wonderful. merely they have a fasting culture. the people are great. for ethiopia biological study. there were places identified as zero ground water content..ethiopia is the country where simplicity as its best and organic food and drink is served. keep it up Ethiopia.
Prayers for these precious hardworking people, thank you for this important video
This documentary was a unique departure from other documentaries I have seen. Keep up the good work Steve!
A departure it is!! ...Ethiopia has beautiful landscapes too just like the European countrie he visits but like most westerners, they can't seem to find it in themselves to showcase Africa positively and accurately. There are state of the art malls and freeways but I guess it's better to show poverty ,malnutrition and kids with flies in their eyes. There's poverty in many parts of Europe too but he can't cover that narrative. # Africans wake up and tell your own stories, no one else will do it for you.
@@thikagal thanks i was also saying the same
@@thikagalThis is you giving a false narrative. European countries are so much more developed than any country in Africa, except perhaps the Seychelles. Ethiopia has an HDI of 0.492, which is 176th out of all counties on Earth. Don’t get me wrong - Africa has beauty and history like any other place, but to compare its poverty and struggles to Europe is just foolish. Westerners spinning a narrative aren’t to blame here, much as you’d like to think that way.
I have been on Mission trips in poor countries. we took grain packs that would feed seven people. We can all give this much. Love from North Carolina.
One day I hope to visit this beautiful country. Hugs from Italy :)
"Roughly the size of Italy?". Just struck me, looking at my globe, that Ethiopia is actually over 3 times the size of Italy :-).
4x
Italy: 301,340 km² Ethiopia: 1.104 million km²
I say a big difference. And Axum is not a capital city.
Much Respect From Ethiopia
Fyi Ethiopia can span from London to the northern point of Italy while holding France Belgium Netherlands and a significant chunk of Germany inside so yeah it is not roughly the size of Italy.
Thanks for putting Ethiopia in the spotlight. I actually wanted to know about this country for as long as I can remember because I have a childhood friend whose family came from Ethiopia.
በጣም ደስ ይላል።
I love Ethiopia so much !!!!!
What love?Poverty hunger cities crammed with poor hungry poorly dressed people I don't know if any concerned govt about rural people and rural housing is there ?
God bless those people that are helping them 🥺
Rick steves
Beautiful Ethiopia
Houses aren’t beautiful looks like there’s no food & water and millions of people we pray for ur country 🙏🏽🇸🇨
Hallelujah!!! Finally!!!!! He now exploring Africa in his episodes.....
I really love his work in Europe and other countries but after watching this, I am a bit disappointed. 1) He has a couple of basic facts wrong. For example, he presents Axum as the capital city of the Tigray region. The capital of Tigray is Mekele. NOT Axum. 2) He says Ethiopia is a country the size of Italy. Also NOT true! Ethiopia is more than 3 times the size of Italy. 3) In many of his other travel videos, he presents the food and the culture...but, here he does not.
Their still unhappy with the fact that they never owned that land !
... & NEVER will !
😃😃
Your voice is calming and hopeful for Ethiopia.
Roughly the size of Italy. What a start!
It’s against Western Europeans best interest Ethiopia or any African country to progress or prosper. They have managed to undermine Ethiopia and the region for hundreds of years. And they are still eager to undermine even some more.
Host 🙏
As Ethiopian i don't
need to comment for this video.
My heart is broken right now.
He only showed the poor people.... typical way of portraying Africa.
@@leticiaperry8510 ya only negative image
@@leticiaperry8510 true that most $* always trying to make us feel poor BUT time will reveal the truth just stay positive 🙏❤️
We love Ethiopia! Can't wait to get back for more exploring

Like india
Thank you Rick for highlighting the beautiful country and people of Ethiopia. As the Executive Director of Water to Thrive, I've witnessed the growth and progress over the last nine years since I've been traveling to east Africa building water wells for those most needy, rural villages. You shared the poverty and struggles in a dignified manner and your questions at the end are consistent with my own inner conflicts...should I feel guilty (because I have so much and so many have so little)? Why should I care? Can I make a difference? In need, each of us can make a difference and it is the essence of our existence...to help others along our journey.
እናመሰግናለን!
Thank you Rick Steve for a fair and balanced coverage of a rising African Star, Ethiopia. I have been watching your show for years and often wondered, how wonderful it would be if Mr. Steve steps out of his comfort zone of Eurocentric shows, and steps into the "REAL" World, where 80% "OTHER" human beings live. Thank you Rick Steve, you Rock, Man. Love from Pakistan.
Ethiopia has up until now water issues -like Sudan - because for many , many years, the British avoided at all costs that Ethiopia build dams.
The British wanted Egypt (their unofficial colony) to have water to supply instead.
So Ethiopia (which like Sudan is the source of the river Nike has had famines and systematic lack of water). In Sudan the English committed genocides, literally, including the one in Omdurman (called battle of Omdurman) where they killed thousands of people. One of the English who took part in the genocide was Churchill.
Thank you so mach Rick for this video I am from Ethiopia 💚💛❤
I like these kind of travel shows, shows the human spirit. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻♥️💜💖
These are our faves!
The Americans and Europeans side with Egypt and forces Ethiopia to stop building a GERD which will boost it's economy. So that they can come and make videos like this.
Exactly!!! They can't let go of their White Savior complex 😂
Thank you so much sir. Because of you we all know about the Ethiopia. But most of the people waste tremendous amount of water. Even me. But from this moment I'm trying to use the water very carefully. Thank you so much again🙏🙏🙏
Amazing country. Greetings from Indonesia
It's an amazing documentary !!!
I appreciate the work done to describe my country in 25 minutes.
Thank you and I still wish peace and love to the people of the world.
I wish you a better and more stable Ethiopia.💚💛💖
Hello from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
Mr Rick,! I have been watching you for a long time. Today you finally covered a topic that is generally known. However, you didn’t cover the beauty & the rest of Ethiopia. Thank you anyway you have come a long way. From covering Europe all these years. Thank you.
Ethiopia has a population growth rate of 2.6% annually which means it doubles in under 30 years. In 1990, the population was 49 million but is now close to 115 million.
Family planning should be the #1 form of aid or else the other development programs and the land will be overwhelmed. Foreign aid will not always be available to ride over the hill in the nick of time.
This is why you need to look at economics.
delicious story of our country Ethiopia
I live on a boat on the Chesapeake Bay and I have to fetch water every day from late November until late March every year, since the dock water must be turned off over winter. Every time I’m cussing under my breath pulling that cart full of water jugs and then heating it on the stove to bathe or wash dishes, I’m grateful that at least it’s clean water and it’s not that far of a walk. BUT any way you look at it, living without running water takes up a SIGNIFICANT chunk of your day! Fetching & transporting it and then heating it up to wash stuff all wastes valuable time that could be better served doing something else.
Beautiful country!!! Safe travels!!!!
Ethiopian man waching from USA am proud of this ppl thing will change wit God USA Western Huns up from Ethiopia let's deal with our problem and progress
Thanks for making wonderful video on Ethiopia, I wish u will make video on Indian subcontinent (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal & Srilanka) in coming days. Greetings & love from Bangladesh

Just one word for ya. GREAT!
Thanks a lot.
For good or bad you forgot mention one name.

i saw the hills. put some cow, goat, sheeps, rabbits on the hill. when the rains come put seed like banyan tree, manggo and other big trees. next hill will green... and water will flows on the rivers the next year come.
I saw the preview. It is absolutely marvelous that the gentle and thoughtful travel guide and commentator Rick Steeves is now branching out beyond Europe -- Iran, Egypt, and now Ethiopia.
(Guilded churches and monuments to potentates who started wars was getting pretty boring), and, perhaps even more importantly, is now going "beyond traditional sightseeing" and is reporting on how the materially less fortunate (but no less interesting) people of our world live and on promising ways to improve their lives.
I lived in Ethiopia for 7 years and am avidly looking forward to Mr. Steeves' presentation.
One of the places with the most ancient history
Rick Steeves is in Ethiopia! I'm so happy.
new subscriber here from the Philippines, mabuhay!
Thank you for this interesting glimpse of Ethiopia.
An Ethiopia episode way to go Rick!
"Hello. Richard Stevens here, back with more of the absolute very BEST of Europe! This time, we're comparing the government policies and standard of living of European people, vs. African people. It's Ethiopia, a country that was never colonized by Europeans, yet still faces the same problems as other African nations. Thank you so much for joining us."
Happy that you came to africa
Ethiopia is a great place to start in Africa.
Thank you for letting your audience know.
Best wishes to groth of ethiopia
Keep it up Rick Steve.
I'm always looking forward to your next uploads since I discovered your channel.
Much love and thanks from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪.
thanks rick i am from ethiopia living in western part and thanks for sharing
Are you thanking him for only showing the negative side of Ethiopia?
thanks. We appreciate your empathy.
1:38 did he just say roughly the size of Italy? Hope he meant to say about 4 times the size of Italy
Rick Steve how are you? You said Italy roughly the size of Ethiopia! Italy is 27%of Ethiopia! You are like a Global instructor my kids and everybodie learn from you! I jest want you to be aware!
"modest and dignified lives"??? Poverty does not mean undignified. In my opinion, that is a grave insult. Ethiopia has a lot to be dignified about. Their resilience and determination to grow is admirable!!
Thank you for showing the world what we’re dealing with Rick 🙏🏻 This is why we’re building the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, to be able to produce enough electricity to ease the life of our population. Egypt is fighting us claiming we have enough water and against the Dam ignoring the conditions these people are living in but exaggerating their need for water although our Dam is a hydroelectric one and only filled by 5% of the annual rain water for 4 to seven years. God bless you tremendously ❤️
I like Ethiopia, their mentainance of culture,they have they are also religious.
Fascinating country.
Volcanoes, Blue Nile waterfalls, Lake Tana, Lalibela Temples will not leave anyone indifferent. We did not see anything like this in the film about travel)). But in order to show it you have to love travel! It is much easier to show 2-3 rural schools, visit the suburbs of large cities and shoot a video about wells)). There are excellent films about a hydroelectric power plant under construction, new universities, the life of ordinary peasants. These films are available on UA-cam, but what does Rick have to do with it?)).
Rick Steves is the author of excellent travel and tourism films. Ethiopia has amazingly beautiful corners of nature. Fantastic, especially in the mountainous part and the Nile valley. Instead of showing these magnificent places and combining them with the story of the life of the population, Rick offered a film full of platitudes. What for? This is not his topic. There are a huge number of documentaries that detail the modern life of Africa, including Ethiopia, Eritria, and so on. The authors of these films, by the way, do not confuse the sizes of Ethiopia and Italy.
Rick Steves is interesting in his travels, where he talks about sights and shows nature. Ethiopia has real gems and fantastic beauties! Unfortunately, Rick made a film full of superficial and uninteresting episodes.
I strongly disagree. Rick Steves accurately portrayed Ethiopia's reality, highlighting both its natural beauty and everyday life. Ignoring the rural schools, the fight against hardship, and ongoing progress would only present a skewed, incomplete picture. He offered a balanced, authentic view of the country.
Great video, thank-you for sharing. There is only one airliner from Africa arriving in Argentina, taking off from Adds Ababa. A very rich culture challenging nature for a better future. All women crew aboard the inaugural flight from Ethiopia just the women's day, the 8th of March, 2018.
Colourful Lalibela, a language with nice alphabet and all the promises for a nation, Ethiopia!.
Thank you Rick for making this 😊. One thing I would like to highlight is that some of the footages used are not of the people of Ethiopia. Hope to see more videos as you continue to explore of the rest of Africa. 👍🏽
all of them are from Ethiopia which did you think aren't?
@i i the Tigrians you mean? lol they are all Ethiopian Ethiopian is not an ethnicity and we all look different
@i i if they arent i don't know who is
@i i ohh now I get it lol at least spell Adigrat and Tigre right before pretending to be them. And you can think what you want it doesn't change the fact that it is Ethiopia
FYI I’m proud Ethiopian and I know my people well, for ex. Stop the video at 16:26 min and tell me which region are those people from? 🤔
God bless the people of Ethiopia!
Ethiopia is going to a development revaluation ... thank you Mr Rick steves
Thanks alot for making this video🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🙏
Thank you Rick for taking your travel purpose a notch higher by exploring and exposing realities in our societies! May you have more videos like this! Stay safe!
