  • @cihuiisalwayssmiling @cihuiisalwayssmiling Did you know that in the world today there is on average 1 death by starvation every 3.6 seconds, 75% of these are of kids less than 5 years old?

    50% of the worlds Adult population own only 1% of the World's wealth!!!

    We are part of the lucky few, very few...

  • @sysarchitect Its amazing to know that how hard these people tried to get their going.

    Every kids living in poverty has a dream, BIG DREAMS ... ...

    They worked hard to get education and yet i'm here complaining how hard all these subjects are, and taking all things for granted.

    WE DEFINITELY ARE LUCKY.

  • goat said:i've never taste my own blood and you guys tasted it already?

    Man:well this is the 21st century lol

  • @musicproffessor06 The 21st century is too late..people used to drink other people's blood or eat other people's heart..believe or not

  • goat thinking fucking dirty buggers i might have aids

  • Goat says : You guys CRAZY

  • Drinking MILK is more nasty then drinking blood tbh. it´s both body fluids, both with stuff in it that is good for you, but in different ways. imo milk is worse then blood, Why the fuck would i drink the fluid from a cows titties?

  • @TheGreenLeaf92

    it's not any different than drinking milk from your moms titties as a baby.

  • @M45T3R84T10N Oh yes it is. 1. All Mammals (whitch i know off) get breast feed by their mothers as children. and are natural, due babys cant eat normal food, and the mothers milk got all needed for the baby. 2. Drinking a Animals Breast milk, is the same as Drinking your mothers milk as a baby? no... think about it dude..

  • "BBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAA" says the goat. lol sorry but it's almost as though the goat said Biatch! :)

  • Oromo!

  • Not that bad, considering Americans eat road killed raccoons.

  • Humans can actually suvive on just blood since it provides all the nutrients we need.

  • my friend's dad is a butcher and he also likes raw meat with blood still in it,whenever i go over to their house i eat and suck on the blood.

  • Goat:YEA :| 1:48 or 1:49

  • that goat is like ah get the fuck away from me!

  • It is written not to eat or drink blood for it is the animal soul.

  • @Jesus4bc  bluhblahbluhblah

  • cubacabra!

  • THAT'S CRAZY!! This is how aids started....

  • ethiopian guys thinking: "LOL I CANT BELIEVE WE MADE HIM DRINK IT"

  • CAN'T GET OVER IT SORRY, my goodness drinking blood, not judging or criticizing but this is horrible and unhealthy, Is this some kind of ritual, cultural practice or from a lack of food? UNBELIEVABLE,,,,,seeing is believing tho.

  • that animal like : BETCH ! gimme back my blood .

  • lol after he releases the harness, the goat is like "FUCK YOU" and runs off into the pasture

  • Blood is bad to drink, it has many parasites. I don't care about customs and cultures as everyone eats different things, but bottom line blood is bad for you,

  • Pastoralists?

    I bet the life expectancy of a "Pastoralist" is longer than the life expectancy of famine-prone, postcolonial African society with no access to medical care who engage in subsistence agriculture because they can't live any other way.

    It just sounds nicer.

  • Vampires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • All I can think of is poor goat...

  • @LeonaEzmereIda This is a troll channel made by MombasaNightTrain. LeonaEzmerelda's channel was copied by this user.

  • loooooooooooool., that goat was like fuck ya'll and started running away.lol

    never had blood before but my mom said she tried it once after it was fried...she said it tasted funny, i guess you gotta have an aquired taste for it. I love my people though!

  • I don't have a problem with drinking/eating blood, after all Black Pudding is one of my favourite foods! But piercing a goat's artery and not killing it is pretty cruel

  • @BelieveandtrustJesus DIPPSHIT. Drinking blood from animals being slaughered in a slaughterhouse for example isn´t dangerous AND it is very good for your body. Mix it with milk so the iron won´t get through your kiddneys and you will have a good meal. WHO THE FUCK TOLD YOU THAT IT IS SATANIC? Did the bible tell you this? Who wrote the bible? Some dippshits like you hundreds of years ago... IDIOT...

  • thats kinda cruel but looks good i like sucking on my blood when i get a cut

  • @TheGaucheSuede Well I´d like to suck on someone elses blood ...

  • maybe this is why africa has a shitload of aids

  • nothing like the taste of iron in blood human blood is the best

  • mierda ke ascoooo

  • Haha...is it me...or when he drinks the blood, the guy at the right sorta resembles Obama...

  • @BelieveandtrustJesus you may think this is a joke by now, now that i'm replying but.

    Think of it. When they give the "Blood of Christ"? heh.

    But hey, I'm Catholic. Still doesn't mean i have to be strong faithed. But fuck all that "Satanic" shit

  • The Irish survived the potato famine by doing this. They would bleed a cow into the offal of other animals and other cheap meat to keep the cow alive. It's called blood pudding and it's delicious.

  • blood *_* i like it^-^

  • they are drinking blood because it is their culture.. lol not because of hunger if it was hunger why are they not killing their animals to eat...  My mother always made me a dish with lamb blood during Ethiopian holidays.. we also ate the lamb meat.. FUCK this reporter is not telling the truth.

  • this is carzy man they way they do it

  • dracula

  • There aren't any racist ppl like habeshas, Tigreans & Amharas, in the Universe. They are so backward and racist coz of their culture. They have derogatory name for every one, they call Oromos "galla", they call white ppl "selato", they call the bantu race of Africa "baria, ghana". African expats children who grew up in addis know this bitter reality. Its high time Africans should teach a lesson to the racist habeshas by assisting Oromos, somalis etc to get rid of dictatorship in Ethiopia.

  • looooooool bejiga007.. i happen to be both tigray and Amhara and I disagree with you... not all of us are racists...  don't generalize.

  • i drink my own blood at times and i dont get sick

  • what next he's gonna be eating crack rock and drinking aids blood?

  • This is disgusting and so very cruel.

  • I'm sideing with no one here so don't reply with hateful comments towards me, But, i don't belive saying that this is "disgusting and so very cruel" is going to stop a tradition these people have been doing for thousands of years. But i see where your point is coming from, if i was in the position, i would drink the blood as not to disgrace their people

  • Drinking animal blood or injecting it is basically how HIV, Ebola and many other diseases get into humans. Never under any circumstances drink or inject another nimals blood. Oh and never drink human blood either.

  • Really? How about drinking Urine is it the same thing?

  • Urine is dirty and has no goodness in it. However I am not sure if Viruses could survive in it.

  • Urine is sterile or free of bacteria..it helps with wound-cleansing. If you had to decide between drinking urine or seawater, urine would be the best option because it is more sterile and dilute.

  • Urine would provide little good for us.

  • Yes, I know..I'm just correcting your statement above about urine being dirty. Its not dirty at all. That of course doesn't mean that its chock full of nutrients either.

  • lmao they were probably just fckin the guy. making him drink blood for their entertainment. they was laughin lmao

  • What if when they put a needle in the throat they hit the windpipe?

  • it's really freakish

  • Native Balinese eat boar-blood dish called . Mixed with fresh vegetables.

    Have never tried it, although me mom's Balinese. Surely it's not so much worse than eating black pudding!

  • Sucks for the goat though... they shoot it through the throat and then let it live? It's really not funny but for some reason I just think this is sick. Drinking blood is fine, but now the goat is walking around with a hole in it's neck, and what if it gets infected?? Why wouldn't they just eat the goat? It makes no sense. They do that every time for one cup?

  • who gives a fuck, you can go buy food at the store, they live in freakin ethopia

  • lol nice one greetings from Mexico City!

  • @kehanocy its either that...or they'll die of starvation. :S seems logical to me. at least it was quick and the goat didn't seem to suffer any huuge amount of pain if it can run away. And i'm sure that if they were getting infected, spreading rampant diseases everywhere and killing other animals and them, they wouldn't have been doing this for so long.

  • This is how Eritreans eat in the capital of Ass-mera

  • Approximately 90% of plasma is water- blood's solvent with the rest composed of dissolved substances, so it's almost like drinking normal water, only the color and the taste are different !

  • i think if i were to ever drink an animals blood like that id feel 10-15% more evil for the rest of my life. lol

  • drinking blood is sick

  • I did eat fried blood. It clots like yogurt, you then fry it with onion and garlic, mixed with chopped tripe and liver. Yummy.

    I ate raw horse meat in Japan.

    I ate fried alligator meant in Atlanta US.

    I ate boiled snake meat in San Francisco US.

    I ate noodles boiled in bird nest soup in Beijing.

    I ate raw beef in Ethiopia.

    I ate raw fish meat all over the world.

    I ate baby fried octopus in DC US.

    I ate fried elephant anus in Kenya.

    So get over it.

  • woah cool! I wish i could go to a foreign country and try new foods.

  • xD u mean u wanna try new blood u vampire you ^_^

  • ;D maaaaybe

  • did you baby and sog in china too

  • WTF are you talking about studda23?

  • WTF that's gotta to do with China- u fuckin retard - why don'u go hump your couzin

  • fried elephant anus? jajhahahahaha

  • oh really? and what was the fried elephant anus like? :DDDDD

  • It look like you.

  • so it means u ate me? ooooh

  • no I just licked you.

  • @lamrof

    Wow...I bow down to the master!!!!

  • @lamrof fried elephant anus?

    what kinda creep are ya?

  • @lamrof what was the tastyst

  • @strpwnownz4 The horse meat was so expensive and nicely done. I love Sushi. Of course if you find a Kitfo (raw beef tartar) it is the best in the world. No dish, raw or not comes close to Kitfo, of Ethiopian Gurgue tribe. Marcus Sameulsson the famous Swidish/Ethiopian Master chef who cooked for the Obamas state dinner wrote in his cook book that Kitfo is the best thing he ever tested.

  • @lamrof you're awesome

    HOW DID THEY ALL TASTE?

  • @lamrof none of those sound particularly outrageous, except maybe elephant anus as it would be hard to produce.

  • @lamrof My brother ate cat in Vietnam.

  • @lamrof im ok with all of them apart when you mentioned anus part o-o

  • @lamrof I envy both your culinaric and global cultural experience which came with it. Take care!

  • @lamrof I had chicken brain when I was in China. I didn't dislike it because of psychological reasons, it was just one of the nastiest things I have ever tasted.

    And why would anyone eat ______ anus?

    There is nothing that you can put in that blank to make that sentence not disgusting.

  • @Anthraxb0mb No biggie, people and other animals eat eachother's anuses during sex. :-)

  • that blood looks very tasty, ew,ew,ew

  • hey i have worked in european restaurants, they love to eat blood sausage. when they eat tha fatty rare hamburger, omg it remind u 'jofe amora' they are realy nasty. when it coms to africa they think it is wrong! get out of our business;u 'selato'.

  • Why is that you guys are offended when ever some one is trying to show part of our country's culture? and trying to create unrelated issues, why is that? you are not proud or approve of this culture? I know this region they do drink blood and there is nothing wrong with it. And Mr. Bone head here have a problem; do not worry we will learn to eat sushi just to make you happy!

  • I laugh if what you see on TV was all to make a joke out of the white ppl. Maybe Ethiopians dont really drink blood... but just saying that to see a white guy do it! LMFAO LMFAO so jokes.

  • Ethiopia have a very diverse culture with over 80 different languages where three of them are majors spoken by millions.Ethiopia have indigenous people only few members ,their own language and their tradition...(who by the way have great value in the genetic study of our origin cuz of their pure gene pool)!! It would be very wrong to generalize a culture in Ethiopia.(I`m just tired of PPL asking me what blood tests like! LOL)

  • 5/5 for the strong ethiopians, whose try hard to survive.

  • it is a new way of feeding people, Interesting I am en Ethiipian and I did know that there was also this way of suing "blood". Nice discovery! of this great and varied country with a lot of tradition and way of living: mother Ethiopia the more I saw of you the more I love you!

  • HAHAHAH 1:51 where it's like "ASSHOLE" and runso ff

  • a small advise to that man who is complaining about not getting enough food from "aid", work that land and grow something. from what i can see the land seems very fertile.. instead of telling your problems to a complete stranger whos only interest is to use you. also dont worry about bad luck about eating the cattles...trust me cows are very eatable. and i dont meant to be judgmental but the whole blood business is kind of sick.

  • Wow. I'm sure that none of the 85,000,000people in Ethiopia have ever thought of that before. Why don't you go do some research before you spout off again, oh great and wise Youtube viewer?

  • research on what? what im saying is that we should not make it a hobbit for some out sider to come and rescue us from our problems. i understand that working the land may not make ppl rich but but anything is better then begging from strangers.

  • Yes, but it ain't easy to feed a family when you face recurrent droughts and locust migrations interspersed with periods of flooding, plus soil degredation, deforestation and the fact that rural Ethiopians can't afford any good farm equipment or irrigation systems. I agree with you about aid organizations, though. They drive foreign investors away from Ethiopian companies and scare off tourists, who would normally contribute a lot of revenue to the place, like they do in Kenya and Tanzania.

  • If an American goes to Ethiopia will he be terrorized?

  • Which part?

  • I guess that means yes.

  • by culture shock ....

  • @rakkfatha yup they'll tie him down and make him drink donkey blood

  • As long as Ethiopia is spending billions of dollars in endless wars against it's own people & against it's neighbors,(Somalia & Eritrea), Ethiopia will remain stuck on endless famines that could have been easily avoided.

    The question remains, what's the priority of Ethiopia, investing on it's natural resources or waging wars in the services of Western "military industrial complex"?

    The sooner Ethiopia figure out it's priority, the lesser the colossal damage to it's own people & it's neighbors.

  • This tribe migrated from Eritrea in 1898.

    After the Ethiopian King Menelik sold Eritrea these people migrated to Ethiopia.

    They are from Seraye and Hamasien originally.

    Which happens to be the origns of prostitution in Africa.

  • @united4ethiopia

    wrong wrong wrong....borana are 100 percent oromo.....stop making up lies and bullshit.

  • @LijamGerrie

    looooooool u r pathatic loser.. where are your sources for such claims against ETHIOPIA?

  • this video really pisses me of

    they always show only the poverty in Ethiopia

    as if that is all it is

    thats how idiots become naive of Ethiopia

  • Hey, I'm Ethiopian and I have...oh wait never mind. No love. It's the fathers. Ethiopian dads are usually much older than their wives, and are also usually abusive, neglecting, or just plain absent to their families. I would know...

  • ethiopians may not have food, clothes, good weather, political stability, good quality of life and low crime rate but they also dont have love. And thats the most important thing they dont have.

  • you sir r the definition of idiotic naive dumbass

    and yes i am Ethiopian

  • sorry about tht comment, me and my friend were a little bit drunk- its completely unacceptable sorry guys

  • this is for every body like joneethiopia it`s good to take out things that are bad about a regime and build his negative side but it`s also good to build the positiveside of a regime end of days u c`ant do nothing about it if u can why dont u get as some documentary and post it on youtube u dont need bbc for that and Titusbramble who are u to name them the original and fake oromo people u dont say original for people learn english first then comment hope u get ma point 1 EHIOPIA 1 LOVE

  • love this kush/cush people god bless this BBC reporter.BBC should do the management at the BBC must consider removing a reporter known as Elizabeth Blunt who never leaves the capital city of Ethiopia, Finfinne (Addis Ababa) and who mostly covers stories quoting only government officials and painting positive picture about the regime there. This is yellow journalism. They should change her by this talented journalist Stefan Gates. god bless HIM AND HIS WORK .

  • The origional Oromo people. Beautifull People!!!

  • all ethiopian are beautifull.

  • no im shure there are ugly ones too.

  • @jonthewolf

    probably like 2 or 3 out of a million :) the rest are gorgeous...(including myself) lol

  • Africa has always been considered to be the "private looting' of European imperialists. Patronizing tone of this program is sickening.

    Who says Europeans do not like the taste of blood?

    Oh yes, remember, at the high class restaurant, they ask :" Sir/Mdm, do you like your steak 'rare', medium rare?"

    Many even eat raw meat.

  • hey check this one out

    /watch?v=yb61y-joi6k&feature=c­hannel

  • i dont get it why some say its nasty.. every country have there on cultur and traditional..!!

  • crazy white guy!

  • Fuck the imperialist/racist BBC you couldn't conquer Ethiopia so you quietly make fun of Ethiopia.

    What if ETV went to the piss poorest parts of northern England and showed how they live? Generations of people who.

    Don't work, very dunce and smoke weed. Why don't they go to Bole Road Addis Ababa or Bahir Dar, Debre Zyat, Gondar and Awasa. I've been to Ethiopia yes this life style exists however, there is much more to Ethiopia. BBC can fuck off! Patranise Kenyans they'll believe you!

  • Goat's blood sounds fabulous ..

  • pretty wierd to say the least.

  • i cant watch this

  • that's how you stay alive in the drought!

    jegnoch!

  • just like u huh jegna/jegnoch lol.yea they are.

  • Looks like Obama at 0:46 D:

    AHAHAHAH

  • In "Red Dawn" they made the kid drink deer's blood as part of a hunter's initiation.

    Isn't it possible to get parasites from that? I wouldn't do it.

  • When you have nothing to eat and every yer your familly member dyes becouse of hunger, I dont think you have much choice what to eat and the blood is something waluable for them,i wish those poor people could live in somewhere else

  • Germans, Ukrainians, Russians, Polish <-- all use blood in sausages - but they COOK it. All I'm saying is don't drink it RAW.

    Also, back in Russia we had these really cool delicious 'candy' bars for people with low hemoglobin/blood iron - made from bull blood (u could get them at a pharmacy) - I still miss those little things =)

  • blood of stock is a source of parasites,besides blood not really digestible.

  • parasite?

    wouldn't i have died already i drank blood before.

    remeber the blood is hot when the guy drinks it.

    NO GERMS

    the guy is oromo. for people who don't know

  • 5th comment! good and informational
