whilst driving there (this happened in ethiopia) my car has been stopped by a group of men sitting on the road (they just put the chairs on the road to block incoming traffic ) on cheap plastic chairs having AK-47s
of course no fucking uniforms no IDs - this wasn't military or the police just some local farmers with weapons
I thought am meeting satan that day lmao but i kept my cool and confidence
they were just checking for people coming from other tribe into their region because they had some tribal beef going on - they saw am white and let me go
Amhara vs Oromo
but tbh they could absolutely kidnap/murder me that day and nobody would do anything - that's africa for you
