Eritrea: True Friends of Somalia

[DawladSade]

[quote]There are differences actually. Ethiopia is dominated by the Tigrai, while Eritrea is dominated by the Tigre. They're both Habesha, but then again Darod and Hawiye are both Somali.

By the way, the Tigre of Eritrea are mostly Muslim, unlike the Tigrai of Ethiopia who are mostly Christian.[/quote]

James the Fake, don't come under my axe again. Tigres are a people who only live in Eritrea, but Afeworki and the ruling elite of Eritrea are Tigreys (Tigrai) just like Zenewi and the ruling elite of Ethiopia. Tigres are a minority group and do not constitute a major force of power. It is the Tigrey (Tigrai) speaking Tigrinya who are powerful in both nations.

Both groups have sizable Muslim populations but the Muslim Tigreys (Tigrai) are called Jaberti and differentiate themselves from the larger Christian Greek Orthodox Tigreys of Afeworki and Zenewi.


EPLF did start out as a majority Muslim organizationa and is the reason they got alot of funding and support from Somalia and the Middle East but go read any book and found out how the Muslims were later rooted out by Afeworki and the larger Christian supporters. Muslims in Ethiopia are actually respected excluding the separatist cases like the Ogaden, OLF, etc but Muslims in Eritrea are NOT respected. That is the difference between Ethiopia and Eritrea.

[quote="DawladSade"]When the prophet sent out his messengers to the Byzantium, Persian, and Egyptian rulers, he did not differentiate between them. To him, all were gaal. The Byzantiums and Persians were foes and each would have been willing to have a strong Arab ally against the other. He didn't differentiate between them.

Yet today the ICU differentiates between two Habesha, Orthadox Tigrey governments who both have a history of repression towards Muslim citizens.

Devoid of religion is what it is, but unabashed lust for tribal power. No wonder only the Hawiye kids are opening their mouths here. [/quote]

Well put.. exactly my point.

DS is correct on the Tigray/Tigre part. The same qashiin in Ethiopia rule Eritrea, the "Tigre" people are a Muslim minority group who have the same status as Oromos in Ethiopia.

Eritrea is trying to milk this for all it is worth. Eritrea does NOT care about Somalia, man it must be sad to be born Habar Gidir, I feel sorry for you AW.

Under your axe? I have never felt threatened by you in the slightest, DS. Your one man crusade against me is simply misguided, as I am neither your enemy nor opponent.
