Friendly Kurds won't let me pay | Amedi | mE 49

We explore together the small town of Amedi, or Amadiya, and after the visit, and wonderful views over the region, we go for a special dessert, a kunefe. The guy of the kunefe shop refuses that I pay him... every day someone offers something for free, here, in Kurdistan.

Thank you very much. Hope it will get better at some point. Love to Serbia.

Yves is not someone who catches YT followers, he just enjoy this trip. I am a bit sad he is not (maybe, who knows) able to finish his plan - South Africa. But never mind, we will enjoy his trip to Asia, probably.

Nice :-) And I heard that Ethiopia might have reopened their land borders, so maybe I will be able to head to South Africa. Fingers crossed.

All of us wish him a best luck and i hope this Ethiopia path is open for him.

Hello again, Yves. Sorry I am writing so often but your videos show me so much. I love this one because it is a place I would never be able to visit myself. I am much older than you and have travelled a lot in Europe/North Africa but never to the middle east. You have been making such an incredible journey on your "bike" - how I wish I was 30 years younger to do the same. You are very brave. It is so fascinating to see the places you go and the people you meet I just want to thank you for the things you have shown in your videos. D

[@KinoYves]

Thank you very much for your comment David. It's always a pleasure to read this kind of comment.

[@SRAriwan]

For your information, the Parthian and Sassanid empires are not Persian Kino, Parthians were a very close relative of Medes and the Sassanid empire was Kurdish. Amedi is way older than the Persian empire, it was part of the Median confederation which is way before than Persian empire. Medes are the ancestors of modern Kurds. We Kurds had several important confederations in the Zagros mountains like Mannaea, Lullubi, Guti, etc... In all part of Kurdistan, there are cities with Med in their name which mean the city of Medes like Amed (Diyarbekir) in North Kurdistan, Amedane (Hamadan) in East Kurdistan, and Amedi in South Kurdistan. Hope you visit Rojhelat/Rojhilat (East Kurdistan) as well

[@KinoYves]

Very interesting, thank you for the explanation

[@kashmoney1967]

Your totally wrong on your history you need to go back and look it up it belong to the Assyrians. 4000 years ago before Christ that the Assyrian empire built it it’s the oldest city

[@KinoYves]

@@kashmoney1967 even if it belonged to Assyrians, it does not mean it has to be theirs now. For example, Europe used to be mostly Celtic, so does that mean, for you, that the Latins, the Anglo saxons and the Slavs have to be kicked out of Europe so that only Scots, Irish, Welsh and people from Brittany can have all Europe for themselves?

[@warpeace6097]

@@KinoYves l do not understand why they are biased when it comes to Persian empire while we have exactly a same history and same calender any any elements which connected us together like nowruz and so on....Persian was and is a combination of same people and culture who came together and set up that great empire..it is not belongs special community and language ...all people with historical connection came under one umbrella

Been binge watching your videos past few days... you really need to insist more when buying man, jsut get the money out and give it to them

[@KinoYves]

Usually I insist off camera, because on camera, they will never accept that I pay. But because I filmed them, they will never accept that I pay, no matter how much I insist. These guys know that foreigners don't insist as much as locals, and usually they accept very quickly that I pay when I don't film. But the camera makes a big difference, and then it's not about ta'arof anymore, they really don't want me to pay. It's mostly because of the camera, without the camera, I am always able to pay.

[@TheM7016]

It’s usually happens between the locals , one pay for the other or the owner don’t accept to let one he know to pay …. But if you INSIST so much to pay it would be like that you refuse his hospitality or generous and this is not nice

What a shame as usual from Barzani zone! These guys in Mersin Kunefe shop are all Kurdish but they keep saying it is originally Turkish! Even those places they mention are all Kurdish cities in North Kurdistan like Dilok which fascist regime of Turkey changed it to Antep (Gaziantep). This is how fascist Turkey tries to eliminate anything Kurdish in North Kurdistan, Turkey tries so hard to assimilate, genocide or simply eliminate Kurds in North Kurdistan and make everything Turkish. We are Kurdish and we stay Kurdish. As usual the Barzani and KDP zone brought shame to the Kurdish people!
