Greening Eritrea

[BaasAbuur]

An interesting documentary about Eritrea and how it plans to combat re-occuring droughts in the country. Not very useful to reer Gedo since there is abundance of water in Gedo thanks to the two rivers but it could be useful to coastal Somali groups that are experiencing similar problems.

ps. Never thought Eritrea had nomadic people.

Your level of ignorance is killing me man, shit that is what happen when you held a narrow view of the world...

Looyaan, I knew Eritrea had the Rashida people who are nomads of Arab descent but the people shown in that video look like Tigray and I am surprised to see Tigray nomads. They could be Jeberti but the Jeberti are very tiny which makes those people unlikely to be from that ethnic group. Tigray are from the Ethiopian highlands and everyone knows that they are not nomadic people.

BaasAbuur,

Eritrea has 9 ethnic groups of which the Rasheida is the smallest, I haven't had the time to watch all the video but if they appear to you as tigray then probabaly they are Tigre people which are majority muslim nomads and they mostly live north and east of Eritrea (Sudan border). Alot of confusion exists between peoples who are -BiherTigrinya (Orthodox christian almost similar to Ethiopian Tigrinya) and Tigre (Muslims).

I thought Tigrinya was the language? Ethiopia never interested me saaxib. I see it as a dull poor country plagued with the worst corruption known to any government in History.
