Deadliest Journeys: Ethiopia

Ethiopia is among the hardest-hit countries in terms of deadly traffic accidents. Trains and trucks circulate along infrastructure from another age. For trucks in the south of the country, the transport of goods and people take place in the rain and on slippery roads… There is, however, no alternative, as flying is too expensive and the trains are no longer in working condition, except one. This one train travels through half of the country, from the city of Dire Dawa to the border at Djibouti. It travels 310 kilometres over the course of more than 10 hours - on a good day. This last known working train is no stranger to derailments and breaks down on a regular basis. It is the oldest but also the most dangerous train in the world! From the Danakil desert to the rainy summits of the Kaffa region, welcome to Ethiopia!
Production: Tony Comiti Productions
Director: Alexandre Spalaïkovitch, Guillaume L'Hotellier

We wouldn't know about how some of the world lives if it wasn't for these documentaries. My heart goes out to the people who live such rugged lives. In my 77 years I have always known clean water, showers, enough food, not having to live in such heat, and good transportation. Thanks to the producers of this documentary who went to great lengths to bring it to us.

[@FigaroHey]

When I see such documentaries, I think that given the smallest opportunity, such people could do astounding things. It's like there's so much pent-up ingenuity and desire to thrive, waiting for an opportunity to unleash its power. Those of us in developed countries, where we take things like water supply, safe roads and automobiles, public transport, and a living wage for granted... have probably lost much of the survival skills and adaptability of people like the Ethiopians. If we swapped places, I suspect the Ethiopians would do far better in our countries - with all the resources laid on and a milder climate - than we would in theirs.

[@6atlantis]

Can we stop pretending that it’s anything less than a circus in these places, and that’s being kind. You have it backwards my friend we once tamed the sea and untamed land, built and invented. Literally everything you just said we don’t have, we most certainly do, as proof in our great nation.

Hey let me tell you up NOrth in Europe we got seriously hostile winters hasn't stopped us from developing solutions in fact quite the opposite it seems as time and time again we develop solutions to make life more liveable. Maybe it IS the environment that challenged our brains from the get go to become so damned inventive ey. But that is oh sooooo politically incorrect.

You can read in Wikipedia that 70% off goods used to get into the country via this route. Now the the only tracks operating are Dire Dawa to Dewele. And the company is almost dead though we can hear the siren ringing for workers and few employers get in and out. Not really sure what they are doing inide. It is a pain for the whole country especially Dire Dawa to see it die like this which was the bread and butter of so many people.

I lived in Djibouti in the 60's. We used to go to Harar for R&R, because it's a lot cooler than Djibouti. I was only a kid, but I have absolutely wonderful memories of these trips. Of course, we always went to see "Hyena man" and his flock (must have been his great grandfather, at least 😂). I am glad to see that he's still popular! Harar looks a lot bigger now. My favorite memory: I was there with my best friend and his parents, and we - picture 2 cheeky French kids - walked to the emperor's stables and asked, without much hope, if we could go for a ride. The very next morning, there were gorgeous Arabian horses waiting for us at the hotel, along with a guide and his horse. We spent a fantastic day riding from one small village to another. Food and drinks were ready for us at each stop. The next day, my friend's parents told us to go back to the stables and thank our guide properly with a large bakshish. Imagine our faces when our "stable boy" came to meet us in full uniform. He was obviously a highly ranked officer, and we were totally mortified 😅. This is a small example of the hospitality we encountered in Ethiopia. I also went back to Djibouti on the old train featured in the documentary. It was in good shape back then. The crew took great pleasure in letting us know that the heavy bars on the window were there in order to keep the lions out if the train had to stop at night. To this day, I don't know if it was a joke. I didn't get off in the middle of the desert. Just in case 😂. Thank you for the great documentary!

Same thing happened to my American brother in-law. He visited us in 2005 as my central Ugandan culture demands. He travelled to northern Uganda. After years of him living and traveling around Africa, he has since been very appreciative of life. Initially he didn't as our family was well to do but the realities of Africa as he travelled and got stuck here and there😅got to him he'd come back home humbled. He has since written books and made videos about his experiences. It's good to travel, it changes your view of life! Good or bad

Love how everyone is happy!! Loved it!!

Happy at being so poor?

[@richard29415]

Well I've heard that people in Nigeria are happier than they are in the UK or USA. Seems that people are happier with far less in the way they don't have all these iPhones, social media, expensive possessions, loads of rules and PC shit all the time.

Can relate to the Isuzu diesel truck, one tough engine if a bit slow--currently have a car with the zuzu 1.5 non turbo -- slow but will run on veg oil/kero as well as diesel, A great documentary and so humbling.

The resilience in the African people is on another 😳no matter the situation,,,,, they will turn even the most difficult situation. stuck in a desert into a party 😃like they guys dancing to reggae music after the train broke down

In the northern Ethiopia in most Amhara and Tgrae people, Chat is a drug stuff. No family is allowed to chewing it. If my father see me chatting, he might punish me unforgivable punishment. Even no money in my hand in my childhood time. There was no reason to have money in my possession 🤔Whereas in western Ethiopia, children has money and connection to business in their early age. That might expose them to practice for such drug stuff situation. The family Life culture is too loosen and exposed.

Like the Peugeot 404s. Look very similar to the Austin Cambridge/Morris Oxford of that era. Probably due to the fact they all came from the same design team.
