点评:⚠ DANGER / WARNING FOR SOLO FEMALE TRAVELERS in Arba Minch & Omo Valley: Avoid
driver BAYA (Behailu Ayele) ⚠
I am writing this to urgently warn all travelers, especially solo female backpackers, about a jeep
driver named BAYA (Behailu Ayele), who also operates on Facebook under the name Bahe Ayele.
He operates independently in the Arba Minch and Omo Valley regions. He is a dangerous
manipulator, scammer, and abuser.
During my trip, he scammed me out of €1,500 by pretending to exchange money on the black
market and lying about "all-in" prices for a non-existent boss (the jeep is his own). When he
realized I was traveling alone as a European woman, he started making unwanted sexual
advances.
When I confronted him about his scams, he heavily gaslighted and blackmailed me, claiming that
as a white woman in Ethiopia, I could do nothing against him. When I stood my ground, the
situation escalated and he physically assaulted me, punching me in the face and causing my lip to
bleed.
I felt extremely unsafe and went into survival mode. Thanks to a Belgian tour operator and a local
contact, I was rescued that same night and brought safely to the airport to book a flight home,
cutting my trip short.
Afterward, he tried to call me to apologize and act like a friend, but became furious again when I
asked for my stolen money back. He explicitly manipulates white solo female travelers for money,
sex, and hopes of a European visa.
While local professional agencies are now boycotting him, please protect yourself. Do NOT book
this man. He is unstable and dangerous.
翻译:⚠ 警告/风险提示:针对独自旅行的女性游客——在阿尔巴米奇及奥莫河谷地区请务必避开司机BAYA(贝海卢·阿耶莱)⚠
我写下此文是为了紧急提醒所有旅行者,尤其是独自旅行的女性背包客:小心一个名叫BAYA(贝海卢·阿耶莱)的吉普车司机。他在脸书上使用的名字是Bahe Ayele。他在阿尔巴米奇及奥莫河谷地区独立从事客运服务。此人心机深沉、善于操纵他人,是个骗子兼施虐者。
在我旅行期间,他就骗走了我1欧元。他假装在黑市上兑换货币,还对一位并不存在的“老板”的“全包价格”撒谎,以此骗走了500。当他发现我是一名独自旅行的欧洲女性后,便开始对我进行不受欢迎的性骚扰。
当我揭发他的骗局时,他对我进行严重的心理操控与敲诈,声称作为一个身处埃塞俄比亚的白人女性,我根本无力对抗他。在我坚持立场后,事态进一步升级,他竟然对我实施了身体侵犯。他揍我的脸,打得我的嘴唇流血。我感觉极其没有安全感,进入了求生模式。多亏了一位比利时的旅行社工作人员以及当地联系人,我在当晚便获救,并被安全送到机场预订了回家的机票,提前结束了旅行。事后,他试图打电话给我道歉,装作朋友的样子,但当我要求归还被偷走的钱时,他又勃然大怒。他明显就是为了钱财和性而专门诱骗独自旅行的白人女性。以及获得欧洲签证的期望。
虽然当地的专业机构如今都在抵制他,但请务必保护好自己。切勿预订他的服务。他情绪不稳定且十分危险。
