A Martyr of the Millenium ~ The story of Abune Petros.

[TEBERHE1]

Abune petros is an incredible humane being, his spiritual strength was as rock slid as it should be as a christian ABUN , he was a brave ABUN, but the rest of the amhara clergy did not take his courage as inspiration, i am not her to blame them because they had to choose between life and death. after all the centre judge for the excusion of abune PETROS wa Kifle wodajos father.

What a shame! beautiful history, beautiful music and what a great way of combining the two.... until the 4:34 minute mark, where you couldn't help interjecting nonesense politics. You took away from the honor and sacrifice of Abune Petros. I still want to show the video to my father and I need to find a way to cut out everything after the 4:34 mark.

[DannyJumbo]

this is why we have an eritrea, cause haile selaissse technically gave a leg away that leg being eritrea, drew a line and called it eritrea, haile selaisse was a coward for this

[ZeraYaqob]

Here we have a video about our martyr but the discussion is about politics....and some even advocating violence and extermination....There is a place and time for politics. Abune Petros was a true Christian, not that I'm anybody to comment on his holiness, he was a true imitation of Christ; and in the END that's what it's all about for "Christ"ians.

Thank you for the video.

...LoL...

[liyish]

I love this Ethiopian hero..

[addislige]

nice vid

[Ethioviral]

bravo

[kalkidan1]

Truly an inspirational man who never bowed to the enemy. Also I waz truly amazed at wot the Tigrayan priests were doing at ze time bowing to ze enemy while thousands of innocent people were being slaughtered. The map of Eritrea if I saw it correctly also included Tigray... I wish zat waz ze case today so ze rest of real Ethiopians can live in peace and harmony :(

[waffiki]

kalkidan1

the problem is eritrean are very good people, please do not include them with woyannes. the woyannese are the evil people of that continent , they should be exterminated.

[kalkidan1]

I am not talking abt Eritrean people... wot I said was Tigray and Eritrea should be together because deep inside every Tigrayan they want to be Eritreans. Their loyality iz wit zem not Ethiopians. Remember before 1998 Tigrayans and Eritreans were looting Ethiopia together Eritrea waz even reported to be one of ze top coffee exporters in ze world when they dont have a single coffee plant.After the war broke out they act like enemies buh they are not their plan iz to deceive ze real Ethiopians.

[waffiki]

kalkidan1

without any doubt i can tell you the eritrerian are feeling more superior to them. they are neighbours and have the same language and that is where it stops. even the accents of eriterian is nicer not as strong.

[waffiki]

Weve to be very careful saying tigres,the culprits r woyannes even though they r from the tigre tribe,woyannes r collection of worms, snakes, evils who r always ready 2 sell their country. when they r caught in the act, they usually end up beggars, that's why there were many beggars in addis. Wait & C soon when we throw away the woyannes , in the whole ethiopia the beggars r going 2 be the woyannes.

those evils r the one who deport the eritreans. can you imagine how cruel they r?

[BahreNeGash]

Kalkidan, Putting Eritreans & the Agames together is like putting "sheeps with wolves together," as Atewebrhan Segid, an Eritrean singer of the 1940s-1960s put it.

I wish you knew the Agames persistent vendetta of betraying & backstabbing Eritreans, Ethiopians, Sudanese & Somalis through out history. Search the Internet for "Napier" & you will see how the Agames backstabbed "Raesi Woldemicheal Solomon" of Eritrea after inviting him for peace agreement or Tedros of Gonder.

[BahreNeGash]

Watching the Agames invading the Somalis, after using Somalian passport to travel all over the world for 17 years in their Dedebit days is good enough warning to keep Eritrea disinfected of the Agames.

[liyish]

No offense but this is about our Ethiopian hero.. While Ethiopians shouted and cried about woyane , You Eritrians used to say woyane is good woyane is great until they stabbed your back and deported your people out of Ethiopia.. keep on barking nobody cares.

The greatest backstabbing they ever did was against you :)

[BahreNeGash]

Liyish,

YES, YOU ARE RIGHT, the biggest Tigray back stabbing is ALWAYS done against Eritreans, as in the case of Ras Woldemicheal Solomon, who trusted their "invitation" & traveled to Tigray to make peace agreement, to only end up hostage of Yohaness.

A century later, they backstabbed the Eritreans, the same people who trained, armed & crowned them to Menelik Palace.

But, you can NOT deny that they betrayed & backstabbed Tedros of Gonder & Somalia too.

Is pointing out the facts painful?

[tewodros41]

no no you guys you all should get alone becuase at the end eritreans they need tigray and tigray need eritreans so you all should be nice to each other i see you all one eye. we amara who made a mistake by helping the woyan get in to and now all act like power and we now how to ended believe that people our patiant has run out.

[BahreNeGash]

Teddy,

In life there's NO permanent friends or permanent enemies, just permanent interest ONLY.

Therefore, if the ERITREAN INTEREST was an alliance with Tigray to liberate Eritrea & the TIGRAY INTEREST was Tigray ethnic Apartheid, taking over the Menelik crown & conquering Ethiopia, you can say the Tigray-Eritrean "friendship" plan, successfully achieved it's proposed goals.

Now,,,, What else does Tigray have to offer to Eritrea or Ethiopia?

[LibiTigray]

BahreAskari: You lie too much :) There is no such thing as "ERITREAN INTEREST", I'm sure you meant to say THE ARAB'S INTEREST, right? That's the only reason Eritrea as a nation exist as we know it today.

Your hero, the Askari, Hamid Idris Awat is nothing but a mere servant to Italians, Egypt and the Arab league.

According to many sources Eritrea is going to be the next Afganistan, the breading ground for extremists like Al Qaida.

How do you feel about that?

...LoL...

[LibiTigray]

In addition to facing deportation, many of the Eritreans in Egyptian refugee camps are routinely harassed by Egyptian authorities simply because of their Christian faith.

Eritrean Christians who had fled their country following a clamp down on Christians are among the deportees. According to ICCs annual Hall of Shame Report for 2008, Eritrea is one of the worlds top ten worst Christian persecutors.

Google: Muslims Persecute Eritrean Christians

...LoL...

[BahreNeGash]

Kibi Tigray,

As much as I'm entitled to eritre about Tigray, Ethiopia or anythingelse, you are entitled to write any thing about Eritrea & Eritreans.

In the end what matters the most is what Ethiopians & Eritreans think about themselves, but not what I write about Ethiopians or what you write about Eritreans.

I hope, you come your sense & realize that we both are just writing our opinions.

FYI: There are Arab Orthodox Christians in Egypt, connected to Eritrean & Ethiopian christians.

[LibiTigray]

.LoL... Wrong!!!! ...LoL... You write your opinion that really don't mean much, but everything I wrote about your so called "Eritrea" is FACT.

Let's go through it one more time :)

"Eritrean Interest" ...XD...There is no such thing as Eritrean interest :) The man who started the Eritrean struggle Hamid Idris Awat was an Askari who served the Italians faithfully until their departure, and who later got recruited by Egypt (the founder of the Arab league) to serve the interest of the Arabs. FACT

[LibiTigray]

Some have to read Muslim prayers in order to survive. Others have to proclaim aloud that they have converted from Christianity to Islam in order not to be slain. Still others have to read from the Koran and say they agree with what they read.

The persecution against Christians has been going on for a long time. Eritrea is one of the most vicious countries persecuting Christian believers.

Muslims Persecute Eritrean Christians

By J. Grant Swank Jr. for American Daily.

[BahreNeGash]

Libi Tigray, Good you have facts, but here's more facts to concider.

UN Resolution 390-A(V) which established the Federation of Ethiopia and Eritrea was a structure between Eritrea and Ethiopia.

Prior to the annexation of Eritrea the Chief Justice of Eritrea was removed and the official Eritrean languages were eliminated in favor of Ethiopia's national language Amharic.

(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

[BahreNeGash]

During the Federation the encroachment of the Ethiopian Crown was felt on the Chief Executive of Eritrea.

The Federal structure existed between 1952-09-15 and 1962-11-14.

On 1962-11-14 the Federation was officially dissolved and Eritrea was annexed by Ethiopia.

(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

By the way, If Ethiopians HATE Arabs, why do Ethiopian migrate to Arab countries to work for the Arabs or let the Arab Alamuudi invest In Ethiopia?

[LibiTigray]

Wikipidia??? Not a reliable source, but as you wish,

In 1960 Eritrean exiles in Cairo founded the Eritrean Liberation Front. In contrast to the ELM, from the outset the ELF was bent on waging armed struggle on behalf of Eritrean independence. The ELF was composed mainly of Eritrean Muslims from the rural lowlands on the western edge of the territory. In 1961 the ELF's political character was vague..,

Cont`d...,

[LibiTigray]

...but radical Arab states such as Syria, Iraq, Egypt sympathized with Eritrea as a predominantly Muslim region struggling to escape Ethiopian oppression and imperial domination. These 3 countries therefore supplied military and financial assistance to the ELF.

Some scholars have contended that the Eritrean issue was a religious issue, between the Muslim lowland population desiring independence while the highland Christian population sought a union with Ethiopia.

From Wikipedia

....LoL...

[tewodros41]

i can't agree more!!!

[liyish]

thanks tewodros... i don't know why people like to lie.. who do they think they are fooling?

[BahreNeGash]

Liyish,

Can you please point out, the "LIES" I posted?

Thank you,

[LibiTigray]

BahreAskari: Just because we don't say nothing about Eritrea, it doesn't mean we don't know about what's going on in Eritrea. It's just that we don't care :)

But, when you bring your dumb ass to Ethiopian videos and try to start something... know that you will be served properly with a heavy dose of TRUTH :)

...LoL...

[BahreNeGash]

Kalkidan,

If Tigray Agames are NOT GOOD for Ethiopia, they certainly are NOT good for Eritrea. We don't need them, keep them, some where under your rags..

[LibiTigray]

BahreAskari: Good or bad we still love Tigrayans, they are our Ethiopian brothers and sisters. We are having family feud and among brothers it's okay, so it's not that serious!!!

Remember, we don't forget how Eritreans betrayed Ethiopia and Ethiopians only to become personal slaves of Isayas Afewerki who is of Tigrayan origin :)

...LoL...

[BahreNeGash]

Libi Tigray,

Kalkidan wants to deport ALL of your Tigrie "brothers" to Eritrea. And, I suggested you keep them in your barn.

As for Eritreans, we wish our Ethiopian neighbors to stop waging "ethnic" wars against each other & against their neighbors, Eritrea & Somalia.

FYI: Meles Zenawi & his TPLF cronies are half-breed Eritreans, trained, armed & crowned by Eritreans. And with out Eritrean help, they would NEVER had the opportunity to sit in Menelik Palace to conquer you. Isn't it?

[liyish]

BahreNegash.. lol sweetheart don't try to make up history.. The only history we follow is based on evidences.. If I was you instead of wasting 24/7 on Ethiopian issues I would worry for my dying Eritreans walking days to escape military duty in Shabia land

[rahel345]

What a great story!!!

[Konjit4lyff]

His Holiness Abune Petros, a great Symbol of struggle against oppression, I have an enormous admiration, respect and love for this man. He sacrificed himself heroically for Ethiopia without hesitation. He stayed loyal to his faith, people, God and himself until the end. R.I.P to a true Ethiopian, a true Orthodox, a true rider!!!

Good job killa!

[waffiki]

thank you libi.

you,Nitro,ethiofekade and many more are playing a role which we all have to follow.

dedication, love for all, teach the unteachable & unreachable, armour the fearful with knowledge of the historical fact, about their people, reminding them their dignity and patriotic work.

let me finish of with my favourite saying which i copied from you, words i love ....."death to woyanne, death to their supporters and death to the evil abuna satonos pauolos"

[CuteHabeshaGirl]

Very touching, about Abune Petros. That happened in only 1936. In 1939 europe gets what was coming to them at the hands of the nazis.

Did you know Grazziani went to jail only for 5 or 6 months at the end of the war?

Very cool video LibiTIgray.

He is a lesson to many of us who think about our bread only.

[LibiTigray]

Yap. Grazziani "the butcher of Ethiopia" was sentenced to serve 19yrs, but he was released after serving only a few months. The allied forces should have hand him over to Ras Abebe Aregai to decide his fate, that would have been real justice!
