The first migration of Bilen from Wello to Eritrea started in 13 century after the collapse of Zagwe Daynasty. A second wave of migration also followed in 16 century. According to tigrigna book titled "The ethnic make up of Eritrea", the original Bilen family who settled in Eritrea were the Tareke and Aweke clan. All Bilen they still trace their roots to Agew of Lasta, Wello. Linguistically, they are still connected to agew.

I don't know how true this is, but apparently Bilen were Agew people who migrated to where Eritrea is now. But like I said, I'm not sure how true this is. Can anyone clarify this?

I Hope this beautiful culture lives on and thrives.

In the '50's a group of people from all parts of Eritrea, muslims and christians of different ethnicity gathered in Asmara. They were all descendants of a man called Zaul. It is vividly acknowledged in our ancestral narrative, that he came from Lasta, and was of Agew origin. We are all an amalgam of each other. No such thing as pure blood, that's pure insanity.

I have Bilen, friend we spoke the language, and the only difference is the accent thats all. Almost the same thing. Don't get me wrong, if you don't the history, leave it alone for those who knows it better.
