Dear Yves my Ethiopian Wife and I felt very worried and upset, we really appreciate your efforts to share your voyages and stories… I don’t blame you if you feel disappointed and upset or frustrated but keep in mind what you shared it’s unique, as my wife said even Ethiopians don’t take the challenge as you do to reach these amazing places... As well she's very supportive and upset about what happens to tourists in her country as your barber in Addis or the overcharged of your bicycle as your entrance to the country. The Ethiopian government doesn't care about Tourism and overcharge and take advantage of you...we had the experience so many times, even my wife as an Ethiopian with a Spanish passport she is overcharged 🤦🏻‍♂️... Take care Yves all the best. Kind regards Hywot & Ulises.

[@meshterm]

I'm Ethiopian and lived in Addis. I agree with your takes. Our people are overcharging the whites, especially at touristic places. It's shame as a country. Plus the tourists also don't challenge the crap system. Recently, I went to gondar with a girl from Netherlands. I noted her bill was doubled and tripled and I entered into even physical fighting. Terrible system

What added a greater finale to your video was the purity of the kids walking with you, in essence showing you there is a future ahead of you and it's best to continue this journey, there is evil in every beauty of this earth but know more that beauty is greater than the evil that resides in obscure time frames which that makes us aware that we should appreciate life in every moment. This is one journey that #Iam_Marwa could never have undertaken, well done to you Kino for having come this far.

Sorry to hear your bad experience! glad to hear you are safe I think the accident is a common phenomenon in so many parts of Ethiopia, even to the citizens of the country.

As a ex wildlife managers I have worked in remote part of Ethiopia for 10 years so I want to give you a piece of advise that when you travel remote part don’t take town boys as guide try to get local people preferably elderly to accompany you ; that will decrease the potential of robed or killed by robbers!

[@Luke-san]

Bonjour Yves, not a responder of video's myself. I've started watching a lot of other 'travelling' channels which now have turned into money channels it seems so I am starting to skip them. You seem to keep what you are doing which deserves the most appreciation. I highly recommend you to inform of the dangers well before you go somewhere. Also what you mention about the food and everything. inform inform and inform. There will be people around which you could stay for a couple of days so you can build up your strenght and also to keep you emotional and mentally strong. Also having an emergency pack of food somewhere on the bike can be a life saver. There will always be 'bad' parts which you cannot avoid. I myself also had a not so pleasant experience in that country while I know a lot of people there are very friendly and helpful. If you need something or are in real need make a KZbin video and I am sure with the amount of viewers here someone will have connections to get things fixed or help you forward. There is no shame to ask for help, it is a human thing to do.

Kino yves, I follow with enthusiasm and profound interest all videos you had on your yotube channel, your courage venturing into violent remote corners in Africa keep us spellbound, it's so scary at times specially seeing tribes fighting and being happy of profuse bleeding as a tribal custom. The one you experienced ! is it not a ceremony that girls come to witness, where they chose the most clever naked fighter as their future husband. Previously I had seen a clip similar to your experience, that was where brides meet future grooms. But this violence is insane. Be extra careful encroaching on such dangerous tribal land. May God be with you protecting you with his majestic power where ever you are. Be safe stay safe, a world of people are watching you, with so much interest. Jacolyn (Srilanka).

11:39 is insane I can't stop laughing. Bro not even Ethiopians go to these places, just shows why white people are ahead of us FR. Respect!

Hi Yves, I am very sorry about what happened to you. The footage you make is always awesome and we have learned so much about different countries and cultures from what you shared. Please don't stop your journey. Definitely, do get some rest and try to unwind what happened to you and your colleagues. Stay safe. Just curious, did you report the incident to police? What happened is a crime and the authorities must act.

[@KinoYves]

Yes, I reported the crime, but it's a lawless area, so they are not gonna do anything

[@fred9098]

My advice to you is get out of Africa unless you are in a suicidal mission. Kenya, Uganda, all the way to south Africa are killer zones filled with rebels.

Please respect us we are not killers. We respect life and we live here this is home

Yves, thx for your videos and stories, its like more than a year i am with you in your journey, every Saturday keep watching new stories and adventures! Thats amazing, right now there is no difference if you will drive the car or move by bicycle, now all focus on You as a adventurer, not on the stuff. Greetings from Estonia, Tallinn! P.S. I believe it will be really great to see again you after such long road in France, eating some croissants and sharing your emotions how you will yourself at home. Let God bless you, just remember, God saved you in this trouble. Be safe! 🙏🏻💪🏻
