Tour Cycling Ethiopia Part 1
This time the global citizen takes on a giant named Ethiopia. The only country on the African continent to successfully fend off European imperialists, Ethiopian culture is still intact exactly as ancient times. Watch as the global citizen interacts with AK-47 armed villagers, rock hurling children, rock climbing monks and scales the Great Rift Valley only to sweat it out in the hellish heat of the Danakil Depression, a region with the hottest average temperature in the world and the highest recorded temperature.

Cycling Ethiopia (2): Heaven & Hell
After the first few days in this country, we concluded that the big fuss about the kids, the rock throwing and the harassment was overblown, and we felt confident we could easily handle the weeks ahead based on our first contacts with the kids and the people of Ethiopia. We were so wrong…
The reality of Ethiopia was about to hit, and hit hard. It is certainly one of the most beautiful country of Africa, with incredible sceneries and landscape everywhere you look. However, the challenges are also everywhere; the terrain and endless climbs to the “roof of Africa” at 3100 above sea level, the lack of food along the way and the poor hygiene that made us sick for weeks in a row, and then the people… Believe me, it’s not just the kids that have been pushing our limits. For most Ethiopians, we are seen as ATMs on wheels. They clearly believe that, as westerners, we have an obligation to provide. Kids are definitely the worst, simply because they are everywhere. Nearly 50% of Ethiopia’s population of 102 million is less than 15 years old. In rural areas, kids are put to work as soon as they are able to walk, taking care of live stock, and harvesting crops on farms.
The unusual sight of foreigners cycling through their town makes the kids ecstatic. They will drop whatever they are doing and start chasing us, endlessly repeating these words: “Money, Money, Money!”. Ignoring them is a mistake. Acknowledging them will not improve the outcome. In fact there is no right way to deal with them. They are aggressive, abusive, and sometimes violent. Every day, we have to face rains of rocks coming at us from the hills and the road side. Some of the kids will even hit you with cow whips or sticks, or jump in front of the bike to throw you off. The adults for the most parts smile and laugh at the kids behavior. It’s very depressing and humiliating. It makes us feel like we’re not even human beings for these people.
We are on our guards at all time. When someone approaches us now, we know it’s not simply to engage in a conversation. The request for money is just around the corner, and adults, teenagers, and kids alike are looking for a way to extract something from us. We’ve just but shutting off and in the past few days before we arrived in Addis, and we’ve been running away from anyone wanting to engage us.
From a safety and security perspective, the situation in the country has deteriorated rapidly in the past few weeks. In the south, the ethnic conflict between the Oroman and the Somalies has reached new highs. In the town of Moyale where we were going to cross the border into Kenya, the conflict has claimed the lives of 35 people last week, and critically injured over 200 more, mostly civilians. There are now an estimated 50 000 people on the run seeking refuge into Kenya. It’s a no go zone. The Irish Embassy in Addis contacted Tomas, our cycling buddy, to warn him about cycling south of Addis. The army isn’t in control of the region which is now pretty much considered a war zone.
Given the situation, we had to adjust our plans and our change our itinerary. We have to fly out of Ethiopia. There is no safe way out of here overland. We’ve decided to book a flight to Kampala, Uganda and cycle to Kenya from there. This will roughly make up for the portion of Ethiopia we must skip, and will still take us through the entire country of Kenya, but we’ll cross the western border instead of the norther border as originally planned. On the upside, we get to cycle through another country that wasn’t part of our itinerary: Uganda.
We are spending a few days in Addis to recover from our recent journey. Both Adrian and I have been sick for weeks, our bodies unable to retain the little food we found along the way. We’ve had issues with food contamination, but we also struggled with altitude sickness. We have been navigating between 2500 to 3000 metres for the past two weeks. We’ve also lost to much weight in too little time. Addis is a modern city where we can find all the food we need and recharge our batteries before we attack the next leg of our journey through Africa.
