Don't try to vlog in Djibouti (My experience in the most camera-phobic country I've ever visited) ๐ฉ๐ฏ
From Ethiopia, I headed north to the small nation of Djibouti, perched on the Red Sea & Gulf of Aden directly across from Yemen, on the horn of Africa. I had been so excited to begin my journey here โ but my enthusiasm quickly faded when I realized that this is no country for a travel vlogger (I should have known this, given Drew Binskyโsโฆ

You don't like it, go home.
If you can't live without a camera, you're the one with a problem. Westerners have become too obsessed with brainless social networks & can't behave like human beings anymore. You're unbearable & I understand the people of Djibouti.
nice video. thanks
Fuck the police ๐๐
Walled gates and barbed wire is pretty much the norm across East Africa ๐๐. Not all can afford cctv and wired doors in these parts
Strangely enough people in wales can get a bit pissed off if a stranger comes up to them an d start filming! Just remember where you are, don't piss off the locals. You got off relatively. Pretty lightly with the cop, had one pull a pistol on me whilst serving in the legion. He dwas off his head on khat . Remember thinking how dirty and rusty it was . Wanted me to salute him,told him to get fucked and walked away. Still here to tell the story . Pretty wild there in the 80s. Still a shithole i see. Hello all ex legionnaires Taff 173 * .
Lots of foreign military bases, the people living in abject poverty. Is Djibouti really sovereign?
โคโคโคโคw
What a sh*thole, never going there that's for sure.
Come visit the Philippines. We are camera friendly.โค๐ต๐ญ๐๐
Sellouts, theyโre insecure I wouldnโt visit even if I was paid to do so.
WELCOM TO
AFRICAN-AMERICA
imo: this country only is important is that it has so many western military bases there and this country should been an Ethiopia capital city so that it has coastal and access to the sea
Most Arabic countries that Iโve been to are shitholes. Sorry but itโs the truth, and the people are just baaaaaad.
Inshallah, heโs the next corrupted president to be booted after the string of francophone leaders being imprisoned or having to step down. Fat, Greedy man that wears gold watches which is haram. He thinks all these materialistic things (while his people starve and he steals resource money) he has is going to the grave with him. I heard this story of this man who started a Coca Cola company in Djibouti and was making good money, then IOG asked for a big cut. The guy said no way and ran to Somaliland to start it. The guy canโt come back to Djibouti or he will be jailed. Additionally the case of Fouad Ali who got jailed for speaking on corruption. He meddles in Somalia and Somalilandโs affair. He doesnโt want them to grow as countries because he loses money.
โTon of trashโ ๐ like in USA , Iโve never been to a country with much trash around , people completely uneducatedโฆ and itโs supposed to be the best country in the world โฆ San Francisco disgusting with trash plus homeless and drug addict , no safe at all , boston so so , last city was New York stinks and dirty
Fantastic never seen this country amazing what you do ๐
What a sh*tty country.
just another corrupted Muslim country.
Next time you come back, get in touch with the local YouTubers. All the best and come again you did not see much
I was gonna go there but now no way I will forget about this country
Iโm surprised thereโs a cathedral in Djibouti
I know people live in poverty in places but that doesnโt mean you have to live in filth. I donโt understand it. It is like that here in the United States. Poor neighborhoods complain about their neighborhoods but they are the ones throwing trash and urinating in the streets and alleyways painting on buildings and such. They complain about their own actions as if I should come and clean their filth.
That's a literal sh.thole of a country. With horrible, horrible people in it. Do you really think that they are "nice" or "friendly" because a few of them talked to you? Because they were not try to steal from you? Look at that place.. Those that live there are the worst people I've ever seen. They could pick up the trash, they could stand up for themselves, etc. Tourism is where the country is getting it's money from.. Imagine if it would be worth visiting it.. More tourists would mean more money. That country could be easily a so much better place. BUT until those that actually live there don't want to change.. There's really nothing to talk about. So again, those people are the worst and not just the police and the country is a literal sh.thole.
Sorry but this is a SHIT country. Only people looking for trouble would ever go here.
Very useless country
Itโs unfortunate you had problems with filming, which I find in common with filming in the United States with counterclaims about the first amendment. I wonder what the common man in Djibouti can point to regarding some founding document, police harassment and bribery.
The lack of political impact is obvious. I hope Djibouti addresses these problems. Your problem may be summed up in being English not French? That is an ongoing war in Africa -colonial language? 8:07
Iโll be in Djibouti very soon, my partner is from Nigeria but Iโm extremely anxious about East Africa ๐ญ
As a djiboutian , we are so sorrywhat's happened to you , where we're at is not where we want to be
But one day everything will change ๐
Also bizarre how few people there are there besides the market? Just looks empty as hell for a city.
I just went to djibouti and it was the best experience of my life and I have been to Argentina chile morroco France Italy Portugal Spain. Djibouti is a place that you go for the nature, diving, the assal lake, the alloles. Djibouti is a very friendly country everybody welcomed me. They don't like you taking photos but it is not a dangerous place
Woook! Different perspective about Djibouti. Most videos give it that beautiful country perspectiveโฆ And beautiful streets and womenโฆ
Anyhow, love from kampala, Uganda
They get so much money from bases and trade, yet they donโt seem to have an even barely functioning sanitation and trash collection system. Sad.
I <3 Djibouti
It is sad , the president of DJabuti is a dictator of the wordt corrupted hope he gets booted out soon
What's going on why is not clean the streets?
I am glad I came across your channel, now I know more about Djibouti, you're so real and honest,aprecciate that. Btw there are some videos here that are made in a "I'll make it in a way you're gonny love it whether it's true or not" kind of fashion. I don't like that, I prefer reality. And you bring that out. That's why I subscribed. Simple as that.
Beautiful Djibouti im visiting soon insha allah ๐ฉ๐ฏ
Yepโฆ.not going Djibouti for anything
I was there in 2005 and it hasn't changed at all lol still corrupt as you can get. Had a lot of fun there too though
