Dear Zeinab as a proud Ethiopian with our culture and history, I would like to thank you very much for considering Ethiopia and Eretria in this edition. I believe through this series Africans shall develop a sense of respect and integrity for ourselves. This will create a strong public to public ties through understanding our shared history and tradition. In this series, you had tried to tell us a little about the Abyssinian middle ages. I believe your memories from the tour across Ethiopia and Eretria will be long-lasting. I had started subscribing to this channel and looking forward to seeing from all around Africa.

It is through knowing our history AND passing that knowledge onto our children that we will develop self-love, self-esteem, self-respect, and commend respect from others. It is in that mindset that I started my KZread channel narrating stories to people of all ages. Some of my stories are fiction and others are based on real facts, but they have the common goal of teaching a few things about Africa and its beauty and diversity. Please check it out when you get a chance. Thanks 🙏🏾 P.S: I briefly and accidentally visited Ethiopia last year and LOVED IT! The richness of its history is mind blowing.

Brilliant. No sensationalization of events to match with the usual narrative as we often see. In Ethiopia and in Eritrea different religion followers live side by side and there are intermarriages between them. The current Prime Minister of Ethiopia Abiy Ahmed Ali was born to a Muslim father and to a Christian mother. He followed the religion of his mother. Ethiopia and Eritrea set an example to the rest of the world.

yes thats abiys story. but this is not how islam works. in islamic theology it is rule to take the religion of the father and if the man marries a woman she must become muslim. the only reason why you have these anomalies throughtout africa with mixed religion families is because islam came to them differently from the rest of where it dominated. islams history was mostly conquest in the areas that are predominantly islamic today. in the case of ethiopia it was mostly through trade. the same for places like senegal, gambia, nigeria and mali for example. you will find mixed religion families. but mostly the man is the muslim and the woman is a christian. a muslim woman would never marry a christian man. whether they follow the précepts and theology of these religions is another story. usually they dont. and many dont even understnd the theology. for them its just religion. cause if they did they usually would not get along. and i have seen this happen

Good dokument 👍

The documentary ended at 13th century with the re-establishment of the Solomonic dynasty by Yokunu Amlak. What about the Ethiopian history after that? Upto the European invasion after the partition of Africa? The Oromo history in Ethiopia? Oromo is mentioned only once but has a critical history to understand the modern day Ethiopia. The balance of the core historical issues were understood and well presented. I understand some people feel missing historical facts and yes that is true. In the presentation of Southern Africa Kingdom in another documentary, Zenab narrates the Portuguese influnce to the end of colonisation by Europe and the scramble of Africa in the Congo documentary. The part that says: "Islam is as the history of Ethiopia as Christianity is" is central to understand the history of Ethiopia. To this day you can see the two religions living side by side tested with centuries of conflicts and tolerances. There are so much missing but I would say this serves as a good introduction. Great job Zaineb, UNESCO and BBC.

Gebre Mesqel Lalibela wasn't therefore the founder but he expanded the Zagwe dynasty in Lasta and established it's great capital which was named after him. Thus questioning the story of Gudit being a Jewish leader who destroyed the great Aksum kingdom.

what a wonederfull and porofessional journalist you are! I have a big respect for you dear Zeinab .your approach and respect of the people and their culture should be taken as a model to all journalists and any professions. I got a big lecture

You are so terrific Zeinab. You put your share for writing and preserving African history. I knew you, when you did Hardtalk you were outstanding. I thought it was a demotion when they put you here but it looks perfect combination for you. your voice is a flavor and your knowledge of subject matter is a beauty of your film. I belief producing historical documentary film without computer graphics is half empty because it doesn't show full picture of the subject matter but not on your production. It is magnificent! You are amazing and a pride of African people even though you are British woman.

We Africans we come from Kings and Queens

Let me correct you Zeinab. Adel Sultanate has nothing to do with Ethiopian. Adel Sultanate was Somali, Adari, Arab and Turkey. Our ancestor were from Harar. We have had so many saints in Harar who hails from Somali, adaris and Arabs

The dancing at the end was incredible. Good job

I felt disappointed when Sainab Badawi totally ignored the great history of the sultane of Adal in the 16th century by not mentioning the leader of the sultane Imam Ahmed Gurey(Somali) who totally destroyed the power of the highland christian kingdom and governing Ethiopia for almost 2 decades and she only mentioned the city of harar and their current residents and not mentioned where the sultante flourished Zeyla. Sainab Bedawi misinformed her documentary and i got alot of suspect to the rest of her documentaries. SAD

@Hobel Harar belongs to Somalis, not Hararis or Oromos. We gave the Hararis their name. Hararis are just Habesha and Oromos who were guests in our city of Harar.

Thank you for the great documentary .

I've just realized the whole bible was written by people in Aksum and now I'm all over African history shows. I've always wondered how they left Egypt and ended up in Israel. It never made sense to me
