  • We are not the same because Eritrean lowlanders and highlanders come from Pre-Ilsam and Pre-Christian Bejas, while the majority of Tigray people come from Agew and to some extent, Oromo populations.

    Think of Raya, Azebo & Tembien people of Tigray, you guys are as different from each other culturally as you are to us.

    The raya, azebo and Tembien were all Oromo people 250 years ago, today, they are considered "tigray people", do to linguistic and cultural assimilation.

  • Not so fast Tigraway. The calender some Eritreans follow is due to religious beliefs. Its origins come from the Coptic Egyptian churches. So don't come here saying Ethiopian calendar, when you have no clue to what you're talking about.

  • @squeky11 well the calendar is not belong to Egypt or anyone. The calendar is belong to orthodox christian followers. get that right and dont come and tell me about your Egyptian masters.

  • @azmarino I like that!

  • @azmarino A very succinct and true statement. Bravo!

  • @matafumar

    Too bad you did NOT understand the beuty of this culture & traditional heritage.

    Again, keep dreaming about a HERITAGE that you NEVER were blessed with in the first place.

  • They are simpley singing ,why we left ethiopia and when will be the time for us to go back ! hoya hoya hoya, it was a mistake ! we will be good ,please !hoya hoya! please please

  • DeRoquencourt,

    Eritrea will join Ethiopia when Austria joins Germany, Switzerland is split between Germany, France, and Italy, Ogaden goes to Somalia, and Venezuela,Colombia,Peru and Bolivia merge, northern Pakistan merges with Afghanistan,....and much much more. Eritrea is not unique in having ethnic overlap with neighbor and Eritrea's made a VERY clear choice and had 30 years to think it over.

  • My beautiful hard working people, with beautiful culture & joyful heritage,,,

    Keep marching foreword, for you are the masters of your own destiny!!!
