I loved your politically unaffiliated, non-judgmental, and unprejudiced presentation. Your grasp of the history was also very impressive. It is one of the few presentations that shows such respect for the situation as it is and the culture of the people. That is very impressive, you have gained one subscriber for that.
Well reducing Eritreans to colonialism is an absolute farce. Eritrea was also not colonised 5 times. This showed Eritreans do not understand their own history.

Dear Eritrean brother and sisters; Even though we are separated in land and administration, we can't escape from the truth that our blood is driven from one. We don't forget each other forever! . I love you so muchhhh your brother from Ethiopia.
We have always existed as a separate country. You began to be called Ethiopian in 1929. We Eritreans were Eritreans during the Italian colony (1800s). Before that, we were known as Deki Mdre Bahri, and before that Adulis, and even before that the Kingdom of Dmt….. I understand why you think we share a history, but let me explain. The Kingdom of Abyssinia was a multi-ethnic empire, but only parts of the Tigrinya-speaking population were involved, not the entire region of present-day Ethiopia. The only similarity we share is some of the same food, nothing else!
@@Nrayo-j8r Oh well not all Eriterians think like you, Eriteria will always be a part of Ethiopia whether you are in denial or not, Dont fall for the ugly politics its still shares same culture arat neteb::
Thank you, usually tourist videos about Eritrea are made by Italian tourists or by elderly Italian Eritreans. They are full of nostalgia for Italian Asmara and do not talk enough about the population, their customs and their way of life outside the cliché of the Italian style. Your discovery of Eritrea is free of stereotypes and clichés. You are very beautiful and if I were younger I would come looking for you because you are the ideal woman with whom I would always have liked to travel. I am an old Italian who loves Eritrea and Eritrean people
You are such an amazing adventurer. I am Eritrean who used to live in Eritrea only moved out of the country to live in the UK four years back. Despite having an internet in my bed in the UK, I still miss home, I miss the people. I miss the food, the sun, and friends. You did remind me a lot when you walk through the streets of Asmara. Thanks you so much. Your adventurous and open minded nature has earned you a new subscriber. Cheers.
I totally understand you missing home. Eritrea really does have a lot of great aspects about it! The food was yummy and the people are such beautiful souls! Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. I’m glad you enjoyed the video ❤️❤️🇪🇷🇪🇷

Excellent content, you made me miss my lovely country. Just a small correction: the three tanks you saw in Massawa were not Ethiopian tanks captured by Eritrean army. They serve as memorials to the heroic Eritrean fighters who sacrificed their lives while driving those tanks. They were hit by the Ethiopian army while crossing the long road connecting the port, as you might have noticed.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a nice comment. On the plaque below the tanks, it says they were captured by the EPLF. But who knows... Thanks you again for watching
@@ZannParker to give you a bit back ground about the Tanks; the tanks were captured from the Ethiopians by EPLF (Eritrean people Liberation front). They didn’t have a support as opposed to the then Ethiopian government at that time. The Ethiopians were financed 100% of their military budget from the Soviet’s for almost two decades from 1978 to 1900, till the downfall of the soviet empire (today’s Russia and Eastern European counties). Anyways, long story short, the EPLF almost all their weapons were captured and were gotten from the Ethiopians. There was a saying back then, it says like this, “fighting enemies with their own weapons”. So, not just these Tanks you saw in Massawa, but almost all the weapons Eritrea used to fight in the thirty years struggle for independence from Ethiopia was captured from Ethiopians themselves, which was gifted by the soveits. They fix it, and sometimes repurpose it. After using the Tanks for few years before 1990, Massawa’s liberation year, EPLF assigned the tanks with other ones in liberating the town Massawa in 1990, just one year before liberation of the whole country. At this point, the owners were Eritreans not Ethiopians as you might have thought so. But I can understand your confusion, though. So, during liberating, these three tanks were burnt and attacked with their owners inside them (Eritreans inside them). They were the first Tanks that made through the narrow long road that you have crossed that connects the town with the port. If you cross the narrow road, it means you have control the whole town and marks the liberation of Massawa as a whole. The mere only one single narrow line that connects the port and the town was a very important for the Ethiopians as well, and therefore, they targeted every artillery and every guns they had to this narrow road line. Any military vehicle that attempted to cross that road was mercilessly targeted and shot by multiple artillery, and hence it was a gruesome scene. It was a scene where the roads have changed to red colour because of blood of people. Ethiopian army made sure every Eritrean fighter and every Tanks that tried to pass that narrow road, would be burnt alive. Just to pass this narrow road, 1000 Eritrean fighter has been shot and died, and they sacrificed their only one life forever for the sake independence and freedom. Imagine being told, 1000 US soldiers dying in 48 hours of a war to pass one road. That’s how heavy the price was. After so bloody and brutal fighting, non continuous with bombs non stop, these three tanks made it through the road finally, and opened the gateway to independence, and were the cue for a bright light of freedom to the Eritrean people. That’s why they are honoured in a such a way in memory of the heroins and heroes who fall and sacrificed their life to liberate the town and overall to the whole country. So, the tanks are there not because they’re Ethiopian tanks, but because they were the first ones to made it and burst out through the unfathomable strong hold of the enemy at that time, the Ethiopian army. I hope this explains and gives you a little bit sense to you; as it doesn’t make sense to honour the tanks of your enemies, at all. So, that’s why they are there, not because they are captured from the Ethiopian army, which you might have thought so. Cheers

Thank you so much for visiting our beautiful Eritrea hope on your next trip you would brought your friends with you ......our country need tourist who come to visit with open hearts Thanks again zana
Lots of respect darling for sharing your experience of Eritrea with the world! Your contents are perfect. Just a comment here: the 3-tanks-memorial in Massawa. They were of the Eritreans. They opened the way to the port by heading thru the "Sigalet Qetan" bridge during the 1990 war. The 3 commanders of the tanks knew their fate was death as the Ethiopians held the other part tight. But they paved the way for the rest of the Eritrean forces so that they could advance further deeper into the town. Sacrificing their lives, the 3 commanders played a crucial role in breaking the lines of the Ethiopian army. Thank you!
You're right. The EPLF captured them in late 1970s. But what i'm saying is the reason they're commemorated for is not the fact that they were captured from Ethiopians. But because of their heroism in the battle to liberate the port city of Massawa.
so sweet, thank you! I love meeting the locals- that's really my favorite part when I travel. Making new friends and immersing in the culture . thank you for watching!!
Thank you for visiting Eritrea. One thing tho, there is no Internet banned in Eritrea. Eritrea was under Western sanction for decades including food, medicine and agricultural missionary to name a few.
There is so much left to do in Eritrea and am sure you felt as if you were back to the future (past) but given the resilience of the Eritrean ppl, we will get there in no time once the outside threat to our sovereignty is neutralised, lasting peace is restored and Uncle Sam leaves us alone. Hope you enjoyed you stay and thanks for uploading.
Jothan!! I’ve been wondering if you were going to watch… I was thinking you might be upset with my first one like so many other Eritreans. Eritrea has so much beauty and potential!! The people are so beautiful (inside and out) and have been through so much. I pray for better and easier days ahead ❤️🇪🇷🫶🏼🙏🏼
@@ZannParker - hmm you remembered me 😇. Ohh, I started with part 2😂😂😂. For some reason, I didn’t receive notification that you posted. I saw a part of your clip on TikTok and came to UA-cam to check and ended up watching part 2. People shouldn’t be upset. You cant show what doesn’t exist and you have done well. After all, you are a traveler, not a political analyst. The love that you have for the Eritrean people is amazing. I can’t say the same about other travelers who travel for the sole purpose to show only the bad side of a country/ society. I hope you come back again when things get normal , basic necessities available and restrictions are lifted. I look forward to part 3🙂 and you stay well until then.
10qq for visitng ma country i really appreciate u and am gonna recommend u to research about eritreans in africa mostly in south sudan , uganda ,kenya , rwanda
I think whoever told you that the Afars are not in Massawa lied to you. There's plenty of Afars Kutmia, old Massawa city and Amatare neighborhoods and even the boat driver was Afar( he was singing in Afar). Anyway thanks for visiting beautiful Eritrea and sharing with us. Hope u enjoy your stay👍
The connection was decent. I heard this place has the best speed out of all the cafes. WhatsApp was faster here than the Crystal hotel, and I was able to make a call.
We have many eritreans and ethiopians in Uganda but i know eritreans who look more Ethiopian than ethiopians themselves and vise vasa so I think they are the same ppl
@@ethiofikerentertainment140 what is the benefit of remaining part of the a country that waged a 30 years war on Eritrea and even used WMDs like Napalm on Eritreans
Hi Zann thank you for visiting my beautiful country Eritrea and specially the city of Keren which is my home town. Just correction. The first country occupied Eritrea was not Egypt it was Turkey for 300 years, Egypt for 12 yrear, Italy for 60 years, Britain for 10 years and Ethiopia for 30 years, again thanks for visiting Eritrea. Lots of love Yohannes From London
Erutrea in 2030 will be the beaty of africa you will see soon🎉❤❤❤🎉 Sis Thank you for visiting in Our Country 1:52 🎉❤❤❤🎉 i hope you enjoyed your trip😊 9:15
First of all, 🙏 for your vlogs #ZannParker, I've never learned so much from a short video. I never knew Eritrea was colonized 5 times. I recall my dad mentioning Turkish before & most recent Italians & Ethiopians. Not sure about the British. Also the Massawa buildings with Emperor Haile Selasie is awesome. I'm glad you found some internet spots & shared them too 😅. I haven't been back over 37 years for obvious reasons & this is my tour of #Eritrea. Ofcousrse the people are friendly, food is yummy, & city is historic. But to need permission to leave #Asmara everyday, I feel like is it an open prison?
wow, I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed my videos and actually learned something about your beloved country. I hope you can go back and visit one day. I think people with Eritrean visa are free to travel wherever. Tourist are not. Hopefully one day there country will be more open and free. Thank you for watching and leaving a nice comment !
Was not colonised 5 times. Unfortunately the man presented false information. Massawa was occupied by both the Egyptians and Turks and could not move inwards. It is important Eritreans know their own history like most Africans do.
Hello, Zann Parker. We found it interesting how you explained the information and some short but important parts of our history. Thank you so much. We are very eager to hear from you about establishing the relationship between Eritrea and the USA. How did the US get a military and naval base in Eritrea? Why was Eritrea annexed to Ethiopia? why did the Eritreans fight for 30 years long for their independence? Why the US accepted the independence and freedom of Eritrea after 30 years of war? Thank you very much for your cooperation.
there is a surprise in the next video! I love the Afar people, I have met some in Ethiopia, but I want to spend time with them in Eritrea. Thank you for watching!🥰
You are as beautiful as Eritrea. Stunning 😂 Eritrea is one of the safest countries in the world. Due to the hostility of several countrues against it. In the past its been invaded by five countries for its strategic location and massive natural rosources. The current sunction is part of the hostility. Eritrea is very serious on its security. Hard viss, limited internet, strong military.... everything has a reason.
you are right. There is no internet for all Eritrean people. But there is a network controlled by the government and used only to inform the world about Tigrinya culture and other demographic changes planned by Zionism. * Did you ask where the indigenous people of Massawa are? *Did you ask where the Eritreans who fled because of Ethiopian colonialism are? * Did you ask how old are the people who now live in Massawa? But thank you for reflecting the true image of Eritrea to the world.🙏
Hey Zaan I have to correct you there in massawa where the 3 tanks u said are captured is wrong, They are the ones who did some heroic tank to tank battle for capturing main fronts in massawa. and there is more to this but I can tell you it's better than all fast and furious movies
@MightyDarizzly, Zann is right, although may not have known the complete history of the 3 tanks. The tanks were the first three (3) of many Ethiopian tanks captured by EPLF during liberation years and the first 3 displayed were used in the liberation of Massawa in Feb 1990. Over 50 tanks were captured just during Massawa liberation, known as The Fenkil Liberation.
Our dear visitor first of all thank you for visiting Eritrea...For the time being may be you surprised about the electricity and the Internet....let me tell you something....when you have two legs...you can't be on two different roofs.....this means we were on sanctions for the last twenty years .by west countries and we were defending our country from weyane......so you have to realize the fact. And you will shock after few years ,the development of Ertrea......our feature is bright. At last tell to your followers ......it is peaceful country. Thank you again.
Correction,the three tanks are Eritrean not Ethiopian ,our martyrs died in those tanks while capturing the city of massawa ,that’s why these 3 tanks are there as memorial monument.
Dear Zann, I have been watching your Eritrean videos, wrote you comments on one of your videos- Thanks. This video was excellent, basically depicts a true picture of Eritrea. The only thing I not agree with your statement is When you “Internet Restrictions” in Eritrea. There is definitely luck of good (availability, bandwidth, speed) internet service, but not restricted. If we’re going to say internet restrictions, then we should also say Bowling Restrictions, ATM restrictions, Electricity restrictions. Other than that, thank you for your excellent presentation of my beautiful home land Eritrea, the land of Brave Women & Men.
Thank you for watching another video, Brian!! I’m happy to read that you enjoyed this one 🥰🥰🇪🇷 it was nice visiting some of the places in this video and getting to know Eritrea a little bit better !
Zann Parker thank you for visiting ERITREA ..The historical building of MASSAWA and the Tank grave yard..but one correction for the tour guide..The first colonisation was begun by Turkey from1557 to 1865..then Egypt ,Italy, British and Ethiopia.
@@91ERI it is false the ottomans and such only occupied Massawa and failed in colonising the highlands. The fact that its own people do not realise this is appalling.
The tanks in the graveyard were some of those destroyed during the 30 years of liberation war. Most of the military equipment were made in Russia. The captured tanks and other military equipment or artillery are still in good condition and still working.

Thanks for visiting and sharing beautiful Asmara and massawa GBU
What you mean when you said beautiful?
Thank you for watching and leaving a nice comment. Asmara really is a beautiful city !
Eritreans never kneel never bow 🙇♀️ they are the most resilient people I have ever seen
five times you colonized and all the infrastructure is built by Italian colonizers and Ethiopians, proud of what ? you shame after separated from Ethiopia for 33 years nothing was built regardless of having two port
@@tigiste5465Lets not exagerrate. Ethiopia did not built anything in Eritrea. And Eritrea was only colonized by Italy.

The dictator has destroyed the people of eritrea.
Thank you so much for visiting our beautiful Eritrea hope on your next trip you would brought your friends with you ......our country need tourist who come to visit with open hearts Thanks again zana
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a nice comment ❤️🇪🇷
Lots of respect darling for sharing your experience of Eritrea with the world! Your contents are perfect. Just a comment here: the 3-tanks-memorial in Massawa. They were of the Eritreans. They opened the way to the port by heading thru the "Sigalet Qetan" bridge during the 1990 war. The 3 commanders of the tanks knew their fate was death as the Ethiopians held the other part tight. But they paved the way for the rest of the Eritrean forces so that they could advance further deeper into the town. Sacrificing their lives, the 3 commanders played a crucial role in breaking the lines of the Ethiopian army. Thank you!
Thank you for watching. The tanks were captured by the EPLF from the Ethiopian army. there is even a sign underneath stating this.
You're right. The EPLF captured them in late 1970s. But what i'm saying is the reason they're commemorated for is not the fact that they were captured from Ethiopians. But because of their heroism in the battle to liberate the port city of Massawa.
You are a unique Woman . Keep it up ! 👍🏼🫶🏼
Thank you!! 🥰🥰
I loved your content keep it up🎉
Thank you so much ! I appreciate your words and appreciate you watching 🥰
l like you're content to , but in the war of Ethiopia and Eritrea was no one won @@ZannParker
The way you found all the great spots, visited places imbued with culture and made friends along the way made it seem like you were a local!🤍
so sweet, thank you! I love meeting the locals- that's really my favorite part when I travel. Making new friends and immersing in the culture . thank you for watching!!
You have a unique vlog, keep it up. Although I am ashamed of what my country has become.
Thank you so much for watching. there is a lot of beauty and hopefully one day soon the people will prosper !
Thank you for visiting Eritrea. One thing tho, there is no Internet banned in Eritrea. Eritrea was under Western sanction for decades including food, medicine and agricultural missionary to name a few.
Ok. Thank you for watching!
Thank you again for 2 part👌
thank you for watching part 2!! I really appreciate it!
There is so much left to do in Eritrea and am sure you felt as if you were back to the future (past) but given the resilience of the Eritrean ppl, we will get there in no time once the outside threat to our sovereignty is neutralised, lasting peace is restored and Uncle Sam leaves us alone. Hope you enjoyed you stay and thanks for uploading.
Jothan!! I’ve been wondering if you were going to watch… I was thinking you might be upset with my first one like so many other Eritreans. Eritrea has so much beauty and potential!! The people are so beautiful (inside and out) and have been through so much. I pray for better and easier days ahead ❤️🇪🇷🫶🏼🙏🏼
@@ZannParker - hmm you remembered me 😇. Ohh, I started with part 2😂😂😂. For some reason, I didn’t receive notification that you posted. I saw a part of your clip on TikTok and came to UA-cam to check and ended up watching part 2. People shouldn’t be upset. You cant show what doesn’t exist and you have done well. After all, you are a traveler, not a political analyst. The love that you have for the Eritrean people is amazing. I can’t say the same about other travelers who travel for the sole purpose to show only the bad side of a country/ society. I hope you come back again when things get normal , basic necessities available and restrictions are lifted. I look forward to part 3🙂 and you stay well until then.
Thanks for sharing your experience without a filter,& keep smiling you hv a beautiful smile,, hope you enjoy your stay ♥️♥️♥️✌️.
Thank you so much for watching and for leaving a comment ❤️❤️

Thank you so much for watching!! 🥰🥰
I think whoever told you that the Afars are not in Massawa lied to you. There's plenty of Afars Kutmia, old Massawa city and Amatare neighborhoods and even the boat driver was Afar( he was singing in Afar). Anyway thanks for visiting beautiful Eritrea and sharing with us. Hope u enjoy your stay👍
Zann, you are such a darling, i and my household are hopelessly in love with you and your contents. God bless you
Oh my gosh! This makes me so happy!! Thank youuuuu!!
I miss and yearn for the hardworking and diligent people of Eritrea with their excellent values and additional fear of God🙏💌🇪🇷⭐🇪🇷።
I am from Eritrea, live i Europa. Proud to se my country. I Love it thankyou
Yay, it’s a beautiful country! Thank you for watching! ❤️🇪🇷
Thank you so much sweetheart enjoy your vacation 😘
Eritrea is a Beautiful Country with a Great People ❤❤❤ 🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you
Yes, I agree ! 🥰🇪🇷
But with the most evil and absolute dictatorship government in the world. I am pretty good at calling a spade aspade.
I am emotional to see my birth place Asmara. Because it's a long...long time since I left. My sister long live and God bless. Wow !!!!
I hope you can visit again one day ❤️❤️
This is my country and i am si proud of it even if it is still poor and undeveloped . All the restrictions i hope will be solved.
Have a great enjoy sis zann, Our people are honest and kind, I hope get thier access recently!!!
How did you find you, our people and my home land?
I loved the people!! So kind, warm hearted , and beautiful!!
Ok. I heard about the blue building, but I wasn't sure about the quality.
But you made calls and used a decent connection, right?
The connection was decent. I heard this place has the best speed out of all the cafes. WhatsApp was faster here than the Crystal hotel, and I was able to make a call.
Thank you for visiting the Ethiopian tank grave years and for promoting Eritreas history 🇪🇷🙏🏿
Thank you for watching 🥰🥰🫶🏼
But in return Eritreans dug their own grave
We have many eritreans and ethiopians in Uganda but i know eritreans who look more Ethiopian than ethiopians themselves and vise vasa so I think they are the same ppl
Really?
So the Independence from Ethiopia is make you rich or poor? Please tell me the outcome of your independence?
@@ethiofikerentertainment140 what is the benefit of remaining part of the a country that waged a 30 years war on Eritrea and even used WMDs like Napalm on Eritreans
Bowling like a pro, presenting like a boss, and eating like a food critic!

What a powerful message to world and Eritreans strong information and experience.
Hi Zann thank you for visiting my beautiful country Eritrea and specially the city of Keren which is my home town.
Just correction. The first country occupied Eritrea was not Egypt it was Turkey for 300 years, Egypt for 12 yrear, Italy for 60 years, Britain for 10 years and Ethiopia for 30 years, again thanks for visiting Eritrea.
Lots of love Yohannes From London
Thank you for watching! Happy you enjoyed the video! ❤️
Occupied Massawa not the whole country. The man gave false information.

Saying what you see than what it you want to be is rare nowadays and thank you .
thank you for watching! I'm happy you enjoyed the video!
I waited you for long
thank you!
Im Eritrean but i was born and raised in Saudi Arabia thanks for visiting my country and getting the best out of it ♥️♥️
First of all, 🙏 for your vlogs #ZannParker, I've never learned so much from a short video. I never knew Eritrea was colonized 5 times. I recall my dad mentioning Turkish before & most recent Italians & Ethiopians. Not sure about the British. Also the Massawa buildings with Emperor Haile Selasie is awesome. I'm glad you found some internet spots & shared them too 😅. I haven't been back over 37 years for obvious reasons & this is my tour of #Eritrea. Ofcousrse the people are friendly, food is yummy, & city is historic. But to need permission to leave #Asmara everyday, I feel like is it an open prison?
wow, I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed my videos and actually learned something about your beloved country. I hope you can go back and visit one day. I think people with Eritrean visa are free to travel wherever. Tourist are not. Hopefully one day there country will be more open and free. Thank you for watching and leaving a nice comment !
Was not colonised 5 times. Unfortunately the man presented false information. Massawa was occupied by both the Egyptians and Turks and could not move inwards. It is important Eritreans know their own history like most Africans do.
Excellent show, keep it up- will follow you.
Hello, Zann Parker.
We found it interesting how you explained the information and some short but important parts of our history. Thank you so much.
We are very eager to hear from you about establishing the relationship between Eritrea and the USA. How did the US get a military and naval base in Eritrea? Why was Eritrea annexed to Ethiopia? why did the Eritreans fight for 30 years long for their independence? Why the US accepted the independence and freedom of Eritrea after 30 years of war? Thank you very much for your cooperation.
I’m sorry, I am not able to answer these in depth questions. I am only a traveler, learning as a go along. Thank you so much for watching!
Eritrea is the peace country 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
❤️🇪🇷❤️🥰❤️🇪🇷
nice video i hopefully next time you get to meet the Afar/Saho tribe they are closely related to the somali tribe
there is a surprise in the next video! I love the Afar people, I have met some in Ethiopia, but I want to spend time with them in Eritrea. Thank you for watching!🥰
You are as beautiful as Eritrea. Stunning 😂
Eritrea is one of the safest countries in the world. Due to the hostility of several countrues against it. In the past its been invaded by five countries for its strategic location and massive natural rosources. The current sunction is part of the hostility.
Eritrea is very serious on its security. Hard viss, limited internet, strong military.... everything has a reason.
you are so sweet, thank you so much for your compliment!! Thank you for watching!
May beautiful country 🇪🇷♥️🇪🇷♥️🇪🇷♥️🇪🇷💞💞💞💞👏👏👏👏👏
thank you for watching!
you are right. There is no internet for all Eritrean people.
But there is a network controlled by the government and used only to inform the world about Tigrinya culture and other demographic changes planned by Zionism.
* Did you ask where the indigenous people of Massawa are?
*Did you ask where the Eritreans who fled because of Ethiopian colonialism are?
* Did you ask how old are the people who now live in Massawa?
But thank you for reflecting the true image of Eritrea to the world.🙏
thank you for watching !!
Eritrean beautiful and peace❤
it is beautiful!!
i live in ethiopia ....eritrea is really beautiful ..would love to visit one day
Both country have a lot of beauty!! ❤️🇪🇹🇪🇷
Hey Zaan I have to correct you there in massawa where the 3 tanks u said are captured is wrong, They are the ones who did some heroic tank to tank battle for capturing main fronts in massawa. and there is more to this but I can tell you it's better than all fast and furious movies
Thank you for this information! I hope you enjoyed the rest of the video 🙏🏼❤️
@MightyDarizzly,
Zann is right, although may not have known the complete history of the 3 tanks.
The tanks were the first three (3) of many Ethiopian tanks captured by EPLF during liberation years and the first 3 displayed were used in the liberation of Massawa in Feb 1990. Over 50 tanks were captured just during Massawa liberation, known as The Fenkil Liberation.
@@ZannParker Yes ma'am we are enjoying your videos, thank for visiting our country.
The tanks were captured from the enemy in different battle fields. Then, they were used against the enemy.
ጽቡቕ ሸውሃት ! Enjoy it! Good appetite!
thank you !
Nqedem belu is let us eat.
Thanks you. This what in the reality. The only people in Africa with full freedom
Thank you for watching! ❤️🇪🇷
Our dear visitor first of all thank you for visiting Eritrea...For the time being may be you surprised about the electricity and the Internet....let me tell you something....when you have two legs...you can't be on two different roofs.....this means we were on sanctions for the last twenty years .by west countries and we were defending our country from weyane......so you have to realize the fact. And you will shock after few years ,the development of Ertrea......our feature is bright.
At last tell to your followers ......it is peaceful country.
Thank you again.
Beautiful country ❤️🇪🇷🍾
Yes!!
Thank you so much for telling the history 🇪🇷🇪🇷❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you! I am honored I was able to visit 🥰🇪🇷
Thanks a lot u introducing our beautiful country.
It's my pleasure, thank you for watching!🇪🇷❤️
Correction,the three tanks are Eritrean not Ethiopian ,our martyrs died in those tanks while capturing the city of massawa ,that’s why these 3 tanks are there as memorial monument.
The EPLF captured them from the Ethiopians . Theres literally a sign beneath the tanks that says this 🤔
she just repeats everything they told to her. No clue at all blah blah history by white woman
🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷❤️❤️🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷 I hope you have a wonderful time thank you for visiting great ERITREA 🇪🇷 👍
Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️🥰🇪🇷
Dear Zann, I have been watching your Eritrean videos, wrote you comments on one of your videos- Thanks.
This video was excellent, basically depicts a true picture of Eritrea. The only thing I not agree with your statement is When you “Internet Restrictions” in Eritrea. There is definitely luck of good (availability, bandwidth, speed) internet service, but not restricted. If we’re going to say internet restrictions, then we should also say Bowling Restrictions, ATM restrictions, Electricity restrictions. Other than that, thank you for your excellent presentation of my beautiful home land Eritrea, the land of Brave Women & Men.
Thank you for watching another video, Brian!! I’m happy to read that you enjoyed this one 🥰🥰🇪🇷 it was nice visiting some of the places in this video and getting to know Eritrea a little bit better !
Zann Parker thank you for visiting ERITREA ..The historical building of MASSAWA and the Tank grave yard..but one correction for the tour guide..The first colonisation was begun by Turkey from1557 to 1865..then Egypt ,Italy, British and Ethiopia.
Thank you for watching!! ❤️🇪🇷
No that is also wrong. Turks and Egyptians only occupied Massawa that is not colonisation.
@@BF-bb5us I think you need to read the History of Eritrea
@@91ERI it is false the ottomans and such only occupied Massawa and failed in colonising the highlands. The fact that its own people do not realise this is appalling.
i fall in your love from ethiopia
The tanks in the graveyard were some of those destroyed during the 30 years of liberation war. Most of the military equipment were made in Russia. The captured tanks and other military equipment or artillery are still in good condition and still working.
