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…

  1. The tragedy of Africa. Under colonialization, the countries had modern infrastructure, hospitals, the people were fed and clothed. With independence came the end of all of this. Now these countries barely function, if at all. Food is scarce, infrastructure and medical care have collapsed. Nothing works anymore. Nor are the people free under independence, as most countries see governments come and go like the sun, with military dictatorships or one-party civilian rule the norm–one man, one vote, one time. Was the tradeoff worth it? I think many of the unfortunates living in these countries would say no. And don't tell me all this was the fault of colonialism…that ended 60, in some cases, almost 70 years ago.

  2. I learned to drive in a Peugeot 404. I was a 13 yr old American in a British all-boys school, but my dad was Ambassador to Guinea. So, during a break, in 1965, I was flown down there – and started driving in Conakry. I wish I had a 404 now.

  3. They make 2 Euros per day, in western countries would be price of say one or 2 onions, or bottle of Pepsi, or package of gum ,should i say weird or fucked up world we live in !!!

  4. "It's a quality French car" – A phrase I never thought I would hear. These people are so strong. I'm so thankful for what I have and my family. The struggles these Ethiopians go through is so difficult. I can't imagine people here in America being able to adapt so flexibly.

  5. When I see these men doing HARD work every day for their families and think of the idle, scrounging wasters in places like the uk, it makes me sick. The millions of pounds going out every day to support these idle wasters who claim various benefits is unbelievable! These men here are REAL men. A real man doesn’t depend on handouts to feed and clothe himself or his family.
