Ending the longest war in Africa
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Ethiopia's new prime minister, Abiy Ahmed, has quickly transformed the country. Political prisoners have been released, opposition parties have been encouraged, and ethnic tensions have been eased. Most stunningly, the country has abruptly ended the longest war in Africa - a bloody border dispute with Eritrea that dragged on for two decades. Lou explains why hope is on the rise in the region even though serious problems remain.

I can't believe Beme News does not have more views. Great Videos.
Thank you for a Neutral Insight into my country...Subscribed
Quality as per usual Lou.
Thank you.
I think you'll find the Zimbabwean political landscape rather interesting.
Thanks again.
Ethiopia is NOT the horn of Africa, Somalia is. Other than that, I appreciate African politics being addressed in Western media.
thanks team for this...it brings me joy to see good change to our rigion. Let's just say it continues this way
thanks good understanding Ethio-Ertiria. God help both country.
Thanks Loe well done. As an Ethiopian it's interesting to see a my countries story told by an unbiased third person.
Thank you. You reported excellent that's The true
Thank you for this awesome news... keep us posted
You're doing great job thank you
You Have adequate info about the issue, good job!!!
🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 🙌
It's almost as if the Eritrean and Ethiopian folk heard what BEME was gonna say in the video and proceeded to correct course!
An excellent segment of a political situation that is difficult to cover. There were some technical inaccuracies but not sufficiently bad to overcome the general explanation of the politics between the 2 countries.
Amazing content, as usual. I aways try to be a realistic optimist, there are some issues as you stated, but humanity advances one tiny step after the other.
My fucking favorite thing is "hey, it's Lou, and some wild shit is going down" Hopefully in some far off country that i would love to learn about. Keep it up guys!
Hope there people benefit
Good stuff!
My ledare❤💪
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
GOD ABOVE GOD LEADER
Good job
AMAN WORLD LEADER
Was a powerful member of eprdf coalition for 2 decades? Not true at all but with the rest of story you good.
The big Lebowski
Yuman rights huh?
Aren't you going to live your life Lou?!
Amahara was highly populated but tplf downsize population making 2nd next to oromo.
Lol😜Oromo the ferst
Wait. Eritrea wasn't part of Ethiopia until 1941. when Italy was defeated and British government came to Eritrea and colonized Eritrea for 10 years until 1952and British handed over to the Ethiopian government at that time and they put Eritrea as part of Ethiopia .the only time Eritrea was part of Ethiopia was from 1952-1992 .not before this time thanks.
Dawit Estif
Denying that Eritrea was not part of Ethiopia is a big lie. What kind of a language do you speak Eritrean, no Tigrinya.
@@nesanetlehulum7063 you need to read again what I wrote I am not Denning .we where one nation after 1952-1991 not before 1952
Dawit Estif
What about before 1952? This is one of your schabia historian's fake history that you talk about. Of course Bahire Negash was was part of Ethiopia along with Tigrai and the Amhara regions starting 3 thousands years ago. And We all spoke one language Geez, and later today's languages developed. What you did is: separate a people who lived in peace and harmony for centuries. We know the outcome of your so called libertarian. Fact is, over 1million have fled, a country without a constitution, no higher learning (Asmara university is closed) a brutal dictatorship and no economic development at all.
Dawit Estif are you saying Eritrea was a country on her own ever since??? I am just blinded why you lied about Eritrea being part of Ethiopia? You think your country is any better by not being part of Ethiopia? Your language, food, culture and tradition is all Ethiopian. So stop the big Bs!!!
@@lifetree2363 it is better with out Ethiopia and it doesn't mean we have to be part of Ethiopia coz we have same culture or tradition... Do you know there are 350 million people they speak Arabic the same language same tradition same culture but different country. And I don't understand why always Ethiopian they want Eritrea to be part of Ethiopia why? .did they ever tried to liberate Eritrea from Italy or Turkish or Egypt or English .why now? We can live in respect we can share everything but never be part of Ethiopia and don't try .. respect
In the current news climate, negative news and headlines get's more clicks, so you often don't here about more positive news. Great to see good news getting some coverage.
Thanks for the great video!
Very impressive, Although the story didn't go as deep as it could have, you guys provided a good amount of information to inform the world about the situation in Ethiopia while making it interesting. That it self is very impressive. Thanks for letting the world know about us.
its a very religious country, if it wasn't for their faith, the former government who ruled for 27 years stole a lot of money and killed and tortured many. Dr. Abiy is considered as moses who was sent from God to set Ethiopians free. Many of the former goverment officials are still in power and the past 2 months or so they have been trying really hard to cause doubts on him, by evoking ethnic conflicts in many regions. This is all because their love for power and hate for the rest of the people.
Ethiopia isn't religious. It's a Secular Nation and was since 1974 ruled by a Leninist-Atheistic Government, till 1991 of course. But it's still strongly secular and religious parties are forbidden.
Elelelelelelelel!!!!! 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 I LOVE ABIY AHMED!!
Im so proud to be Habesha!
Rebecca Sylvester you are so sweeet
🇪🇹🇪🇹❤️❤️❤️
Abiy is our Mosses
Why don't you live in the habesha land so?
Wow, great storytelling, really well researched, and great choice of story. This is the kind of stuff we are looking for - it makes the world a better place to hear this story. Thanks Beme.
I really like when you guys do stories that are foucused outside of the US.
Great video, I F* LOVE the "Wild Shit" videos!

ERITREA ERITREA ERITREA. MY LOVELY COUNTRY.
Great video. Very well researched and accurate to the last drop. I vouch for it. It's unusual to hear such a balanced, neutral, informative view about non-western countries. Good job.
In addition to the flights resuming,
- The flights are now regular every Wednesday from Addis to Asmara on the Dreamliner.
- The Ethiopian government is also repairing selected roads that lead to Eritrea.
- Private TV networks are doing sort of a reconnection of lost families by giving contact addresses free of charge.
- Eritrean ports are being repaired by the Ethiopian government to expand and bring up-to-par for use next year.
- Ethiopia is brokering/mediating a peaceful solution to the Eritrea-Djibouti border dispute.
- Alongside Eritrea, Ethiopia is supporting the lifting of sanctions by the UN on Eritrea to speed up the peace process.
I don't have much info from the tightly controlled Eritrean government about what they are doing about the peace and reconciliation process, so that's why the info is about what Ethiopia is doing.
Ethiopiawiw ደደብ Ethiopia is not repairing Eritrean port. We want just peace as a neighbours.
ኣበይ ኣሎ ናይ ቀደም ኤርትራዊ habesha
Thanks for the insult. I like the fact that you insulted me in amharic letters :) Try to read about the news on port preparations and things when you can. selam.
Ethiopiawiw እኛ ኤርትራውያን ለምንፈልገው ሰላም ብቻ ነው። እንደ ጎርቤተቻችን ተከባብረን መሄድ። የናንተ ህልም ግን የ ኤርትራ ባሕር እንጂ ህዝቡ ኣትወድም በደንቢ ናውቃለን። ኢሰያስ የ ኤርትራ ህዝብ ኣይወክልም። ትግራይ ያለ ትግሬ ኣልስከበረከ እንዴት ኣርገህ ይወደሃል ብትብለኝ። እዛ ደሞ የ ኤርትራ ህዝብ በደንብ ያውቃል።
ኣበይ ኣሎ ናይ ቀደም ኤርትራዊ habesha
My friend, politicians will always be politicians. The people are different. As far as I can tell you about many people here, including myself, have always been praying for this peace between us. PRAYING, not just wishing. I come from three different ethnicities (amhara, gurage, oromo), I'm Orthodox by faith and i was honestly in tears when i saw the Eritrean people in Asmara when the prime minister went there. I believe we are the same people, born from the same lands. Even now i refer to the red sea as Eritrean sea just as it is written in the Bible, if you saw it. I believe just through complications from historical happenings, politics, and politicians' issues, we came to be two nations. That's how i see Eritrea and Eritreans. The ports are not my problem or my issue.
#Selam
Ethiopiawiw Ethiopian special amhara don'nt want Eritrean pepoel. They want just the sea and port. But you have to now we have paid a heavey price. If you are dreaming that you can get asseb or red sea u will pay heavy price. ሰላም።
You are not going to live your life? Lou is everything ok??
i thought the same thing lol
Lou isn't going to live his life because finally he reports some good news.
Thanks so much! What you are doing is so important!! When all the west media is just picking up the negative of Africa, I am so happy to see such a balanced report on what is happening here. Like you said the challenge now is to keep this going and for that the media, where ever you have responsibility. And you are doing your part very well.
Dr Abiy is our HERO. I mean he and his team rescued the country from the verge of collapsing. We are seeing a kind of clash between ethnic groups but I hope we will get through all the hardships as a NATION.
Wakanda, rise! We can do this brothers and sisters, if we march together.
You used Fomented. Thank you.
Fantastic reporting.
Yay, it's Lou! :-)

“Come on, stop spreading lies and fake news. There’s no 20 years war Ethiopians & Eritrean!
Can we get updates on this for the next few months? Its one of the more interesting topics covered on this channel and I think many, including me, would appreciate updates.
If you interested Read more book about Eriteran History
Please don't give worrg information.
Google wekpeday.
Dude, even a basic Google can tell you 20 years isn't the longest war in Africa and is nothing compared to wars between African colonies lasing 100+ years due to countries like the Netherlands, UK (woo, go England!), Spain and France got upset with eachother
What ever u said about Eritrea is absolutely wrong,cheap propaganda 👎👎👎👎👎
I am impressed by you Lou, you have done an amazing work, your stories are very accurate which makes me to trust you n subscribed to ur channel. 👍👍👍👍for an amazing work you have done. Dr Abiy is in the making of history in Ethiopia, most amazing leader that I have ever seen in my life...hey I’ve seen Obama too, but nope nothing like PM Dr Abiy.
Well, all the right things were said, but none were executed, Eritrean border with Ethiopia is closed, the two countries refuse to explain the situation. www.reuters.com/article/us-ethiopia-eritrea/eritrea-closes-border-crossing-to-ethiopians-official-and-residents-say-idUSKCN1OR189
But the new hope is the Eritrean people are woke and realize the situation, the Enough Is Enough Movement is moving like a wave throughout the Eritrean diaspora population who fled from the oppressive regime and the New Sparkling Eritrea will be a full fledged democracy.
Make a video on Imran Khan's win in Pakistan
Finally I found a dope channel to get interesting world news from! Good stuff.
Amazing video. It's refreshing to see someone talk about Ethiopia objectively, without bias.
I'd love to see a part two on the region where you discuss the far reaching economic and social impact of the Renaissance Dam Project, that will effect countries along the Nile river from Ethiopia to Egypt
l.Love ethiopia
You are like Vice but actually try to be good at what you do. Kudos from far left!

Great work. Thanks !!!
War is a state of armed conflict between states, societies and informal groups, such as insurgents and militias.
It is generally characterized by extreme aggression, destruction, and mortality, using regular or irregular military forces.
Warfare refers to the common activities and characteristics of types of war, or of wars in general.
Total war is warfare that is not restricted to purely legitimate military targets, and can result in massive civilian or other non-combatant suffering and casualties.
While some scholars see war as a universal and ancestral aspect of human nature, others argue it is a result of specific socio-cultural or ecological circumstances.
The deadliest war in history, in terms of the cumulative number of deaths since its start, is World War II, from 1939 to 1945, with 60-85 million deaths, followed by the Mongol conquests at up to 60 million.
As concerns a belligerent's losses in proportion to its prewar population, the most destructive war in modern history may have been the Paraguayan War.
In 2003, Richard Smalley identified war as the sixth biggest problem (out of ten) facing humanity for the next fifty years.
In 2013, war resulted in 31,000 deaths, down from 72,000 deaths in 1990.
War usually results in significant deterioration of infrastructure and the ecosystem, a decrease in social spending, famine, large-scale emigration from the war zone, and often the mistreatment of prisoners of war or civilians.
For instance, of the nine million people who were on the territory of the Byelorussian SSR in 1941, some 1.6 million were killed by the Germans in actions away from battlefields, including about 700,000 prisoners of war, 500,000 Jews, and 320,000 people counted as partisans (the vast majority of whom were unarmed civilians).
Another byproduct of some wars is the prevalence of propaganda by some or all parties in the conflict, and increased revenues by weapons manufacturers.
What's your point?
Abiy is hero of Ethiopia
thanks you somuch
GOD PRAY GOD LEADER
white farmers
i want that beer

Jay Dupree
There's no such as faith in humanity
Wow
✌️🇪🇷
So US after two decades saw their interest to Oromo while they were being humilated by Tigree for that long because they now allied with China.
