From such evidences, we could safely say, Raya has been part of Tigray. King Ezana built a Church in 4th Century in Maichew, still standing and serving the population. The Church of Saint Tecle Haimanot. The clergy in Raya use Tigrigna and speak Tigrigna as every where in Tigray. They are not amharanized. They tolerate all tribes but do not speak Amharic. We hope The Amhara priests will be sent back to Amara. Tigray does not need Amara priests. They sound evil and savage. Besides the Amara population should be repatriated to their location in Amara. No Amara should be allowed to sing in Tigrigna because they do not have the cultural and core values of Tigray. They should be allowed to sing in Amharic and form their own group. The Amara are evil because they take advantage of the situation selling as better artists and beauty contestants. In reality they are ugly . Do not allow amara to destroy our Tigrayan culture in Raya. Do not allow Amara to hold administrative posts. They are harassing our children and artists because they are Bantu Africans with warrior type mentality. They provoke aggression. They are confrontational and discriminate against Tigrayans in Hospitals. No Amara in Tigray. TPLF has been promoting despotism and used the Amara in Tigray to spy on Tigrayans who do not support. Tigrayans should take their fate in their hands. Former heads of TPLF will be brought to court. We need to build a democratic free Tigray to survive as people.
