Thats nonsense with Tigray u share well atleast the kebessa u share a language a religion tradtition axumite heritage and all of that history , Amhara have been ur enemy longer then that tigray was your enemy , Have u forgotten the Haile sellasie have u forgotten Mengistu haile mariam. During that era the TPLF and tigrayans were on ur side., stop running away from your cousins. Ur alliance with the tere sege eaters as our good uncle deqi calls them just want a shoulder to lean on and the patriotic dictator just gives them that , they have not forgotten how u left ethiopia landlocked not that long ago they were fighting for woyane remember the border war in 1998 when they wanted to re take assab.

Tigrayan brother Zack,

Why do you seek to force your opinions on some Eritreans?
Even if they're related to Tigrayans, that doesn't mean that they'll be allies.
That doesn't guarantee a good relationship.
The TPLF is the one who started the badme war and had ambitions to illegally annex assab.
The rest of Ethiopia- Amara's included of course, were forcefully conscripted to fight.
They weren't the ones who forcefully deported Eritreans, especially from Addis Ababa, where their Amara, Oromo and gurage neighbors were crying when they saw how your brutal TPLF treated them.
Amara elites, such as haile Selassie, don't represent the average Amara anyway. They were poor like everyone else, but they and Tigrayans, did have ownership of their farm lands, unlike the southerners.
Not to mention it was Amara farmers who welcomed the advancing eprdf -eplf during the last years of the derg.
Amara's and other Ethiopians can use Eritrean ports, to the mutual benefit of both sides, so no need to even desire to illegally annex their lands or ports.
