Ya salam!

[eritreantigaraly]

Why are you on Tigrigna videos, and how do you know what Helen Meles sings about??? Arabic isn't your mother language. Tigrigna is closer to Tigre. I am pure Eritrean as well. I am Eritrean Tigrigna, with other ancestry. You still haven't answered my questions you coward. My name is eritreantigaraly, you wouldn't know what tigaraly is.

[eritreantigaraly]

Why do I constantly see you on Eritrean videos? Man oh man, and you have the right to call eridabest a hypocrite. What is wrong with you.

[09Factual]

like i said your a bigot tribal ideot

[09Factual]

rabat284 nobodiy beleives your lie go kiss geroge bush ass while eritrea fights for east africa right to do what it likes you begger / bigot

[dahlakislands2]

this is the last comment i will leave for u....as i have better things to do with my time. it's sunday and i will go worship the lord than wasting ma time here with crazy person like you.....regardless i will pray to the lord that he might show you the light and teach you to love another human being. perhaps he will show you the right way of life....in the mean time check out some of the tigrigna mezmurs i have on my page.

praise the Lord!!

May God bless Eritrea and its people!!!

[dahlakislands2]

lunatic..why don't you go do ur homework that arabic isn't eritrean language. i've know all eritrean groups .....i'm not a beginner like urself u know.

[dahlakislands2]

Not every body that criticizes the gov't is non-eritrean, there is a difference btwn hate, ethnic & religious motivated criticism and a genuine & civilized criticism who wants for the betterment of a country.

and all your criticism of eritrean gov't is ethnic, religion , language and hate motivated.

stop dividing Eritreans by calling them tigrigna and non-tigrigna, last time i check eritrea has 9 groups whom all speak different languages.

[dahlakislands2]

true arabic is a working language in eritrea i never disputed that, but i am not happy it is. i would be happy if they can make the nara or saho or tigre or even kunama or any other eritrean language the working language instead of arabic.

but you are so blinded by tigrigna hate you can't see the light, to you everything about eritrea is tigrigna and non tigrigna, what a hateful and narrow minded creature you are.

[dahlakislands2]

hehehehe...i think your starting to worship arabs for their language and culture. 

you know the almighty God is the creator of all things including the languages, you can be talking to him in Chinese and still accept your prayers. but you are one dumb ass moron, go worship Arabs for i care. but stop suggesting that Arabic is superior to any of Eritrea's languages,you illiterate Arab wanna be ethio retard.

[09Factual]

Rabat284 you are a sick man stay in ethiopea were you belong you tribal ideot people like would be put in prison in eritrrea with the rest of the tribal ideots or religiouse ideots

[dahlakislands2]

blah blah...arabic culture is not rooted in eritrea and has no room or place in eritrea, get it.

and what da hell is your problem with tigrigna people??? if you have them so much may be you shouldn't be watching their videos. go kiss some arabs ass, ok.

no eritrean in his right mind pretend to be an arab, my guess is that you ain't even eritrean. i don't even think you are black.

so don't waste my time here .

[dahlakislands2]

correction .." and what da hell is your problem with tigrigna people??? if you hate them so much may be you shouldn't be watching their videos".

[dahlakislands2]

i have no problem with arab people, but i have problem with arab wanna be people like you.

and i don't need to go far to give an example taht you have an identity crisis. one time you claim to be eritrean yet want us to speak arabic. telling that the non-tigrigna people's culture is sort of based and has connection to arab cluture. no eritrean except for rashida has an arab culture dumb ass. eritreans have our own languages and cultures, we don't need to borrow arabs language and crap.

[dahlakislands2]

and no i am not being "rude" to you , but the comments you are making here make you sound like you have identity crisis .

i'm sorry if telling you the truth makes me sound 'rude".

but seriously, if you want to speak arabic and be an arab, then why are you wasting your time watching tigrigna video???

[wediafom]

dahlakislands2, leave this worthless scumb agame or a sellout, Rabat284, who also tried to argue with me the other time, he is looking for attenion!!

[dahlakislands2]

thanks wediafom, i tried to talk some sense into him/her, but u know he/she is an arab moron who is just obssessed with tigrigna people.or may be is some retard from down south of the eritrean border.

[dahlakislands2]

i am not here to debate the meaning of "dahlak" ok. but i am here to tell you that you don't know eritrea's map (that's if you are claiming to eb eritrean). dahlak islands are eritrean territories, period.

stop trying to force arabic culture and language on eritreans , ok. Eritreans have better things to do , learn and accomplish than arab crap. why should we waste our time, money and energy on arabic language when we should be focusing on our own eritrean laguages.

[dahlakislands2]

the only people in eritrea who are arabs are teh Rashida and they make up less than 0.5% of eritrea's pop. you can google 'rashida pop in eritrea".

and Bilen, tigre, saho etc never choose to speak arabic instead of their own language. that's a straight up a lie. if they had choosen to speak arabic, we wouldn't have schools teaching tigre and saho.and no two tigre or two bilen speak arbic to each other , they don't speak arabic on daily basis .

[dahlakislands2]

you can go head and pretend to be an arab and act like you are an arab, but please don't expect the eritreans public to jump on your wagon. i would also like to add that instead of programing ERITV in arabic why not do taht in english. i mean tigrigna, english and arabic are all eritrea's working languages. since english is an international languages and the schools in eritrea teach in english, it only makes sense to program ertiv in english. ...right??

[dahlakislands2]

the other thing is that why would Eritrea's TV be programmed in arabic???

arabic is not eritrea's offical language by teh way, it's only a working language. why should exactly program our tv when 99.9% Eritreans are not arabs. why can't we program out tv channels in kunama , tigre, saho, nara, tigrigna , bilen and afar???

[dahlakislands2]

you said "...the name you are using is a arab name", do you see how ignorant you sound here. dahlak islands are Eritrea's own islands and they've got nothing to do with arabs.they are owned by Eritrea and Eritreans live there. and the non-tigrigna peopel don't speak arabic as they have their own culture, language and history.

[dahlakislands2]

the other thing is that arabic IS NOT our mother tounge language, unless your a Rashida. so why exactly should we sweat over arabic . my only wish is that Eritrean gov't needs to spend more money and time in developing and nurturing our own languages (Bilen, Tigre, Tigrigna, Nara, kunama, saho , afar etc).

p.s if ur a die arab supporter may be you should tune in the sudanese or middel eastern tv stations.

[dahlakislands2]

con'td...now do we really want the Eritrean gov't wasting our money on Tv stations or we want them to provide more social services to the general public, especially those who live in rural areas. in Eritrea we need more schools,better roads, universities, health cares, food and clean waters than arabic programmed tv channels.

[dahlakislands2]

Talking about tigrigna state and what not is not the point here.The majority of the people who have access to TV live in teh cities and those people understand Tigre and Tigrigna than any other language. and this exactly ERITV broadcasts in Tigrigna as well as Tigre. I DO HOPE ERITV starts broadcasting in all 9 languages sooner than later, however this is very costly for a poor country like Eritrea.

[dahlakislands2]

so you are saying ERITV programs should be in arabic?? and how much percentage of Eritrea's population speak arabic on daily basis??? how much of eritrea's population can read arbic??

what's teh use in broadcasting in arabic when the majority of eritrean don't know the language??? u know ERITV is not broadcasting for middeastern audiences.

[wediafom]

Rabat 284, you are an agame pretending to be an Eritrean!! We all know your tricks, so get lost!!

[wediafom]

you are dead wrong buddy!!!! Think before you talk!!!

[EritreaTheBest]

Rabat284, who said Eritrea is only Tigrinya culture? Can you please tell me that. I hope I didn't offend you by posting this cultural music on YouTube.

Selam!

[kerenqueen07]

My family is from Keren originally and most of my family, at least on my father's side, are Bilen.

Anyways I hope you understand that your comments appear as though you think that Eritrean Tigrinya aren't really Eritrean, which is why people are upset by your comments.

[kerenqueen07]

why are you trying to fight me? you're 40, i'm 20......really thats just silly. I was encouraging people to enjoy the video and appreciate our culture, wether you are Eritrean or Tigrai.

~peace

[akolloo]

Hej yonatan1970 come down. If some one to watch our vidio he/she is well come. If some one attac us ja then we have to defend. I know there is some ethio heters. But you have to ignor them. Don't forget the inocent one.

[kerenqueen07]

i don't understand why people are fighting over wether this is eritrean or tigray tradition; the ppl in the video are eritrean and therefore this particular performance is eritrean. but it's stupid to think that they don't do this in tigray, the tradition is boh Eritrean and Tigray...big whoop, lets just enjoy this because its beautiful.

[Amche10]

This is pure ERITREAN cultural song::

[boretalyn]

Can not all of the warring peoples in africa see that what you are doing is just what the rest of the western world and euroope wants. You do the dirty work for them. They give you weapons, you kill each other and they come in and take all of your rich countries resources. People of Africa wake up you are a major player in the world it is time to lay down the guns and educate yourselves and your families including the women and children. Take your place in the world as a player.

[boretalyn]

This is exactly what the white world wants to see fighting amongst africans no matter what your nationallity y ou are still africans and you need to band together. The world is waiting for you to kill yourselves off. BEcause afterall why should they come to kill and destroy when all they have to do is arm your people and let you do the dirty work for them. Wake up africa you are a powerful player in this game. Wake up and educate. peace.

[Tigrigna]

It's all in your head...and realy what realy matters is not where you are from but who you are as an individual.Just Being an Eritrean or Ethiopian or Somalian or whatever does not make you a better person...i have seen good and bad,smart and dumb, cute and ugly,short and tall, skinny and fat,light skin dark skin and brown skin,looser or not,fake and real, In Ethiopian,Eritrean,Somali,Djib­outi,Sudan,American....

[mentesfa]

Those of you talking nonsense, please grow and be matured. You are just defining who you are and your sub-humanism and ignorance. Please be civilized and remember this fact: Eritreans and Tigreans have only one option: live peacefully together in this God given place. Let us educate our people; nurture our common linguistic, genetic, anthropological and cultural heritage. Don't forget the heroic history of this region is ours (Both Tigray and Eritrea). Let us nurture it.

[bbyeden]

im workin on mytigrinya

so it may not be that much clea

so is she talking about suwa

[beer]?

[AmanYK]

Brhans & EritreaThebest,

This kind of traditional songs are played both in Eritrea (Specifically areas in the Tigray border) and mainly in Tigray (in the Provinces of Enderta and Agame).

No need to tear each other apart for nothing. The bottom line is it is good traditional song and thanks to Eritreathebest for sharing it with us.

[akrur111]

This is a beautiful typical Eritrean Traditional song, which is very different from Agamenian style!

[Yigzaw]

Beautiful traditional song.

[brhans]

looks likes tigrian (ethiopian) song. Is this really Eritrean traditional song?????

[EritreaTheBest]

Yes it is Eritrean...now beat it!

[alekulki]

Nice reply!

[Jonatann1970]

To brhans: you agame you are like a snake, you full of comlex and jelous, you don't have self confidenc so you have to come to the Eritrean vidio begging som atention,go to your ethio vidio and enjoy your self/kelbi

Free Eritrea from beggers and komalat.

[yogi206]

@brhans wuts the diffrence between eritrean and tigryan people or music ?

[yonatan1970]

We Eritrean sefer alot from during the colonisetion Itly, british and ethiopens. Now we are free from enemys. Why should we become one withe enemys,never. We dono't have time to you. Sudan is better than Ethiopia. Don't forget the deportation of 80 000 Eritreans who lived in Ethiopia and they did't get what they own still, and you talking about a brothers. There are 250 000 Eritrean in Sudan, they live in peace harmoni. So don't try to confus and desive, just try to save Oromia and Ogaden.

[beruberd]

Give me a break, don't say, "we" there is a lot Eritrean whom think opposit than u, this is true, we didn't got any thing through hate and betrrey, but suffer, that is why we need unity and be one. Don't be full with all u heard and read was true, open your eye and see through all direction, don't be rush to judge and we all need to think about befor we say so, cos word could be a shouting or turning point to someone!

[Ziegereda]

beruberd, mind your Ethiopian business!! Go to mogadishu and help your innocent brothers! Let the Eritreans make their things.

[Americanbestninja]

So narrow minded!

[Ziegereda]

americabestninja: Agame, be quiet!! suk bel, qodar ye qodar!

[beruberd]

Peace my friend say and believe whatever you want, i don't blame or judge you cos that's who you are, and i believe what i believe also!

[axum3000]

ziegereda:you shut up!

[Ziegereda]

axum3000 /guhaf3000, Lol,agame!!!kalas shut your ugly begging,betraying mouth!!Suk bel trah before I do it for you!!go to your begging agame site!!

[Ziegereda]

axum3000,wedi sharmuta, your days are numbered,hahaha!!!!The people of the horn are waiting to erase you from this planet including your lice!!!

[theycallmeSCH00L]

T0 ALL THE ETHIOPIAN AND ERITREAN PEOPLE ON YOU TUBE, READ AND REALLY THINK ABOUT IT:

either way, we are ALL HABESHA. this hate towards each other is ridiculous, i say that we should all unite and stand strong together. together we are a strong culture, lets not tear each other apart over land and over our pride. ETHIOPIANS AND ERITREANS, WE'RE THE SAME PEOPLE!get it through your head people.INCREASE THE PEACE.

[youngwarrior101]

Brothers dont raid,pillage,steal,rape from one another, is this the relationship you want Eritreans to nuture LOL.

[theycallmeSCH00L]

thats not my point, genius.

we SHOULDNT raid,pillage,steal,& rape each other. do you realize how weak we look among the white people? lmao. they watch us and they PITY us. we're not a nation of pity. we're strong, beautiful, HABESHA people. ethiopia and eritrea forever!!!

[youngwarrior101]

So whats the point then Mr. Philospher, if you acknowledge that the midget from up North F**k up the historical relationship, then you should be condemning his very existence! Believe it or not the only shame of the horn is dumb Meles becoming a surrogate child of the west. Period

[dahlakislands]

after 30 yrs of massacre, bloodbath, rape and torture of eritreans by ethiopians, you should never show your face to say "ETHIOPIANS AND ERITREANS, WE'RE THE SAME PEOPLE". we were killed, raped, and murdered because we were eritreans and wanted our own identity. we were deported and our belongings were stolen, because we are eritreans.we were insulted because we are eritreans.

[dahlakislands]

now, i don't care if you are mix, lost, confused and don't know which side of they border you belong to, but please shut up. by the way don't leave retarded remarks such as 'we are all HABESHA people". habesha ppl(decendents of semities) account for less than 25% in the region.

yes we need peace , i agree we with that. but how do we get that peace?? ethiopians stop invading and waging war against ur neighbours. stop oppressing and killing oromos, ogadenis, somalis and eritreans.

[nakfa]

Give Badme back to Eritreans, untill then stop saying we are brothers we are that we are this.

[tigraway]

ahay lalaley ahalaley....aahaahay.... it's beautiful traditional song!

[dimtsiHaki]

[lionofnakfa]

Buzz off weyane.

[Thegrey12]
