Hello Andrew,

Thanks for brining this link to us. I hope more people will start to Video Blog from Ethiopia and share their experience with the world. And you started to sound like a typical Ethiopian, i.e. “pessimistic”, with your “proxy servers to see it in Ethiopia” comment. I hope we are not rubbing too much on you. :)

Need a proxy to see it here in China. How annoying. I thought I'd be free to see any Ethiopia related web page when I got here but that has not been the case so far.

As always, thanks for the info.

He is thinking... get me out of this country. Put me on the boats that cross the Red Sea to Yemen on daily basis. By now, if his journey was successful, he is in the UK asking for asylum. That is what’s so sad about the friend of a friend group just set up to free the 'hostages'. (1) They don’t know what they are getting themselves into and (2) they actually think they are helping. The group is just set up to make someone feel good so they can say... see, we do care for your people as much as we care for our people. That way they can party it up in Addis without feeling shame… welcome to the fastest growing organization in Ethio whose goal of freeing the hostages also miraculously happens to UNITE Ethiopia.
