We don't laugh at the misfortune of others.

How do you know this word. My eritrean friend told me that's their word for Ethiopians..kinda like faqash.

Its equivalent is actually "midgaan" and I have as much Eritrean friends as Somalis.

It doesn't mean Faqash. I popularized that word. Qomal Agame is a deprecating term used by Eritreans towards Tigray, not Ethiopians.
I'd compare it to boon.

i always ask my friends why they don't like Ethiopians i can understand them hating Oromos and amahra's but why their fellow tigrays. They always correct me and say were "tigrinya" not tigre.

They're not the same, a Tigre will spit in your face if you group them with Tigray, it's a byproduct of Italian colonialism although the inferiority of Tigray has been long-established.
They have far more cause to hate Tigray, Eritreans are ambivalent towards Ethiopia, they just dislike Woyane.

Nomad is an Agame pretending to be a Somali and this conversation is killing him in the inside.

It's funny, I was Eritrean when I was talking about EPLF, it switched to Ethiopian as soon as I spit facts regarding Ogaden
I'm interested in regional politics all there is too it. Voltage thinks that by following me around begging for my attention he'll establish some sort of rapport with me. It's why I tolerate him.
