Re: Tigre Eritrean song
Nice song.
learnmore1 I know you are Tigray but I'm curious your thoughts on post-Afwerki Eritrea. I fear an ISIS or other Islamist takeover like In Syria and other countries. I am trying to visit before the country is completely trashed.

I don't think Islamists will take over, the country isn't bad in that regard. You could still technically visit now, people still do go

I am from the heart of Ogaden, my camels only mate with Ogaden camels. Near the original capital of Ogaden Godey, but I also have roots in a few other places around the horn. Technically you could argue I am Somalilander, Puntlander, Somalian, Kenyan, Ethiopian.

Re: Tigre Eritrean song
Tigre, Tigray and Tigranya are not the same.
Tigre are Beja and Eritrea's lowlands while Tigray is a region in Ethiopia.
Tigrinya is the shared language of Kebessa (Bahir-Tigrinya), Eritrean highlanders, and Tigrais of Tigray.
Tigres speak Tigre and dominate the western region of Anseba with Keren as its largest town. The other half of the family is across the Sudanese region of Kassala. They cover the largest land.
The one below is from the Tigre on the Sudanese side of the border (Kassala), the legendary Beja warriors.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xo7x8xFUGsw
One of my favourite ones straight from Anseba.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hGEF_AziJYA
The Tigres/Beja, Ben-Amir (Beja) and the Bilen (Agew) are our people and true brothers as are the Afar and Saho.
In such I will share my favourite Bilen song. The Agews are gifted artists people who are pretty much oral and poetic society like their distant Somali cousins. Let your own ears be judge.

Posting Tigrai songs in a Tigre topic or reffering to own parents as "Tigringya" is being clueless.

Re: Tigre Eritrean song
But the Tigre's are not Cushitic though and are related to both the Tigrinya and Beja people, mainly the former.AwRastaale wrote: The Tigres/Beja, Ben-Amir (Beja) and the Bilen (Agew) are our people and true brothers as are the Afar and Saho.

Also, the Tigre's are not Beja. They are two ethnic groups of their own.AwRastaale wrote:Tigre, Tigray and Tigranya are not the same.

Mixed views of him. I agree with some things he says but I don't think he is what the country needs.PureQ wrote:off topic, what do u think of afeweki?
