Hunting for the Wild War Donkeys of Cyprus | Cyprus, Uncharted, Ep. 3

[@bcvxx8688]

In Lebanon, there is a very common saying that if someone is stubborn, you would tell them: "Are you a Cypriot donkey?"

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

I feel like the only thing more stubborn is a Cypriot military.

[@missvixenx]

Haha we have that same expression in Cypriot Greek!

[@HAlagoz1]

LOOL! That’s funny. I’m Turk Cypriot & my husband always calls me a stubborn donkey. I guess it’s a Cypriot thing…

[@malolelei3937]

I'm from Iran and there is a similar saying here. When you want to offend someone you would say "While there are the likes of you here, I don't know why they import donkeys from Cyprus"!

[@DMp-xp6mj]

In mainland Greek we call someone a donkey as a soft insult, mainly referring to people who don't care about others. Also we say that someone has the patience of a donkey if they are very patient. And another greek saying for when people don't appreciate things is " they gifted someone a donkey and he looked it at the teeth"

Now, I thought it was Black Mak who coined that concept - perhaps it was one of the all too few things they had in common Anyway, those animals all looked sleek and healthy. Those still in employment always appeared downtrodden, thin and worn - just agricultural tools that received little care or attention from their village “handlers”

[@JamesKerLindsay]

@@Kathikas1 Makarios may well have thought it, but he would have known not to say it! Denktash didn’t care. It fit his ideological outlook.

[@banksy2870]

It is very unfair to say that there are no true Cypriots - unfair to those people who have been living there since the dawn of civilization. These people might have links to Greeks but they are the true Cypriots. The Turks have only occupied the land for a few hundred years. What Rauf is trying to do here is to reduce the connection the Cypriots have with Cyprus because he knows the Turks have a much lesser connection to this land as compared with the Cypriots. This is a contentious topic but I can see what stratagem he is using to justify the Turks control on Cyprus.

[@sciencethygod]

My grandparents had an odd relationship with Donkeys, my grandfather a Greek Cypriot (from Ora) went to Egypt to sell Donkeys (yes in the desert), met the love of his life another Greek Cypriot woman who was selling flowers. They got married and had my father and his brother in Suez where they where raised.

[@GreedBravo]

The village Pyla in Larnaca District is one of the few remaining villages in cyprus that is still inhabited by both greek and turkish cypriots. Worth visiting

[@ioannisdimitriadis3073]

It used to have even larger population of Turkish Cypriots as it was always a mixed village but after 1974 many Turkish Cypriots were forced to go to the north; part of the village is in the Green line. However it is worth to admit that there is still trading and commerce occurring in both sides in that village as it was always a center. It still has it old Mosque, it has churches, it has advanced British universities and it is a roaring city compared to others near the green zone. So yeah it is worth visiting

[@bkaankuguoglu]

@@jetsonnano7560, I don't think so. I think he's genuinely interested in the conflicts and usually does a pretty good job on the story-telling part. I've been following him since his early days, and I generally enjoy his content very much. I don't blame anyone from the so-called "western world" for not being as open to the Turkish side's argument as they are to the Greek one. Sadly, this is and perhaps has always been the case. Unlike Greece or Armenia, Turkey has never been a good PR country with a vast diaspora supporting its causes via lobbies abroad. Fun fact, the Turks usually take pride in being right; even everyone else in the room argues otherwise. Before quickly calling people euro-/western-cunt, the Turks need to tell their story through academic research, art, and popular culture.

[@marshatrent5053]

Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I happened to be aboard a Turkish Maritime Lines ship en route from Barcelona to Istanbul in 1974 when the Cypriot War broke out. In fact, we were on our way to the last stop (Athens) when the war ensued. "Mebbe we get boomed, boomed" said one of the crew, jokingly....Needless to say, we skipped that last port and headed directly to Istanbul...It was the most memorable sea trip I ever made partying up with the crew nightly after they finished for the day...and when we hit Istanbul , they took us around to sites most visitors wouldn't see...It was both delightful and debilitating cause those guys could play hard! A unique experience , indeed to see the area through their eyes. ps. I adore donkeys! At the time they were the "taxis" on the island of Gavdos south of Crete.

You also claim that the people in northern and southern Cypress feel very strongly about protecting the donkeys, but there was little citation or data to back this up (like the parliament footage, or lack of interviews with locals, etc.).

I think hat was the 2nd video. Maybe the next one

[@larsstougaard7097]

It's called a plot twist, this was the story of the north. Those poor , but now free donkeys, loved by all on the island 🏝

[@n0obism258]

Probably the most underrated video you have ever made.

[@afd1040]

So rather than talking about the Turkish Cypriot perspective you are talking about how animals are affected by conflict ? And you call yourself a journalist ?

[@rebeckagilbert2905]

Did you watch the other two episodes? This is just one little episode in a four part series.

[@08TheMidnight]

I'm happy for these free donkeys, because they are not tortured by humans anymore.

[@PakBallandSami]

this series should be on netflix or some thing so good

[@dylanthain6183]

Tom fox did such an amazing job on all of the music, I'm a big fan and so proud of him, can't wait for more

This guy keeps parroting "TURKEY INVADED..." as if they invaded for no reason out of the blue

[@realmless4193]

In this specific video, the invasion is a sidenote that just needs to be mentioned. In the previous videos he explains the invasion in detail.

[@zericle1]

Invasion doesn't have to be out of the blue, you know. I don't know what you mean. Plus he'd have to explain the whole story over and over, it's easier for Johnny just to say that 'Turkey invaded' without bloating the video further on something he already covered in the last two episodes.

[@systemreset9410]

@@realmless4193 he can reasonably say after the war or after 1974. He sounds like he's antagonizing on purpose

[@seriesmovies4195]

@@systemreset9410 My guy Johnny constantly leaves out the 11 year long violence causing dozens of massacres towards Turks eventually leading up to the Greek coup to achieve their enosis goal. But then acts like Turkey ‘invaded’ the island for no reason at all. As if the island was sooooooo peaceful.

[@MichalisRbw]

@@systemreset9410 well he'd say "the war" if there was a war. A war is when two countries/government declare attack on each other. In Cyprus, there was no war, there was a para-military group that did a coup, that wasnt orchestrated by a government but by people who wanted to overthrow a government, and then Turkey invaded that country in the guise of peace keeping... Which as history has told it's not true coz they road blocked, genocide-ed and cleansed Greek population in the north. Not saying that it didn't happened to the Turkish Cypriots, but at least it wasn't orchestrated by a government military like Turkey did, instead it was orchestrated by a paramilitary group with no connections to government. Therefore Turkey clearly invaded

This is the new way of telling a story , a history or anything that journalism could pass on Much respect Man ⚡

[@bassman87]

So I noticed a fallacy with your comparison between northern donkey population and other endangered animals. You're falsely comparing a population in Northern Cyprus against world populations of other animals, then making a statement that there aren't alot of donkeys left in the world. No hate here, just noticed the fallacy. loving the series so far.

[@Nauway]

I noticed that too and did not quite understand why he put that bit in the video... maybe just to reach the 10min mark? Also enjoying the content, but not quite sure what the message was here...

[@matpk]

Compare 1930s Nazi Germany Vs 2020s Communist China IN YOUR NEXT VIDEO Project before it's too late

...the cadillac of donkeys! Did you know that Mary rode a Cypriot donkey on her way to Bethlehem?
