Jun 28, 2008 - Who created ethiopia ? Eritrea is free nation we will never part of ethiopia ? and finally what is ethiopia its a fake nation it will disappear soon franciscan2007 with the kind of comments you are making its obvious you dont recognize eritrea indepdence so what are you doing watching video about eritrea. At the end ethiopia will be exterminated sooner or later hopefully.

Jun 30, 2008 - Didnt realize that this was open for Ethiopian haters to comment. Stick to Addis the country that smells like shit and leave asmara for its people,freakin haters

abelaraya Says:

Jul 1, 2008 - my friend, this is not jealousy, i admire asmara, its a very beautiful city, fact remains that eritreans didnt build it, italians did. so once again, were you more comfortable with that wip on your back telling you what to do?

nahom1 Says:

Jul 1, 2008 - i am not your freaking friend, go on and hate some more eritrean vidoes that is why you here aren't you? so sad. btw no response required you already dragged me to your level of stupdity!

teddiafro Says:

Jul 1, 2008 - No one would like colonize ethiopia because its a dessert, plus Ethiopea doesn't have a seeport so who would like to colonize starven people because they are too week to built thier nationality.

abelaraya Says:

Jul 2, 2008 - im not here to hate lol, ofcourse you wouldnt believe me but my grandfather and my grandmother were eritreans, born and raised. that same grandfather fought with the toqour anbessa against the italian invasion of ethiopia, when ertirea was already lost. to defend the REST of his country. back to the subject, this is not stupidity its fact, eritreans didnt build asmara, your italian masters did.

JustDo2 Says:

Jul 2, 2008 - It is not the fault of Eritreans that they were subjugated by the Italians. And now that Asmarinos have lived surrounded by the architecture left by Italy it has become ingrained in their culture, as is the the culinary remains of Italy. You don't have to go far from Asmara to see the tukals and such of native design. I find the combination of influences to be rather charming.

Jul 3, 2008 - i heard that ethiopian people shit in the city, fuking disguistig people

briquetaverne Says:

Jul 5, 2008 - This is a wonderful Video & as an American I can see why the eritreans would want independence in order to preserve their own culture. I'm fascinated by the Railway system as well as the architecture that's been preserved & the cleanliness of the society. In other clips I saw mountains of used war machines rusting away. Perhaps the Eritreans could do what the Japanese did after WW2, they melted down as much of the war remnants as possible & refabricated peacetime appliances like refrigerators.

Jul 6, 2008 - Just for your info, its the eritean blood and sweat who build Asmara.

Jul 11, 2008 - Asmarina shikorina, i miss u so much. Eritrea 4Life

yimibl06 Says:

Jul 11, 2008 - LE KOMATA ANDE TATE BERKE NAT

GualAsmara84 Says:

Jul 11, 2008 - Brother, whoever built Asmara, we paid our blood for it. When we say the Italians built it, they used their minds but never their sweat n blood. All that beauty u see, the price was our Eritrawnet. Its just like when u'ld build a house, u'ld pay someone to plan n build it for u. But u'ld be proud of it after its done cus the money u paid was ur sweat. RIGHT??? Erey shikor, miss u motherland.

HIHYMAIB Says:

Jul 19, 2008 - i heard it too that ethiopian people shit in the city, fuking disguistig people

pimpsg123 Says:

Jul 22, 2008 - small rome as they call it there is nothing like Asmara. Asmara for life.

Alformaio Says:

Jul 30, 2008 - The Italians tought us much more than what u Stinky Inferior Amharas were able to take away from us. Our souls are intermixed with this magnificient cities soul. Long live the Italian culture and tenacity, death to the inferiority complexed Negroes of Shewa.

asmara1980 Says:

Aug 13, 2008 - I suppose, comming from the leper infested city of Addis Abeba, with its open sewers, you can not appreciate the beauty of Asmara. FYI, go to ANY city in Eritrea and you will be amazed by its beauty. No mud huts in any of our cities.

yimibl06 Says:

Aug 13, 2008 - No mud huts? you right. i agreed with that you know becouse of no soil in eritrea there is only stone.

asmara1980 Says:

Aug 14, 2008 - I guess the Ethiopian army members brought the mud they put on the walls of the villas w they took over in the 70's with them together with the soil they used to fill the bath tubs in the villa to convert it to a bed.The fruit produced at Elabered was ONLY available at Hailesellasie's palace. Know your history, learn from us and leave us alone.

LijamGerrie Says:

Aug 26, 2008 - LOVE BEUTIFUL ERITREA!!! Eritrea & Eritreans continue to march on against all mortal odds, over coming 50 years of war, death & destruction. A young small fiercy nation with immortal ideals and aspirations, persistently determined to liberate & re-build itself from the ashes of 50 years of war is heading the right way, again, against all mortal odds. NEVER KNELL DOWN ERITREA!!! KEEP FLYING WITH YOUR OWN WINGS, FOR YOUR DESTINY IS ALREADY ACHIEVED!!!
