What does make Eritrea an African? Color? Christianity? language and culture? Land?

What doesn’t make Eritrea an African?

Did you have a chance to read the following?

You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. The cradle of man is here, the beginning of man is here, there is no refuting that. Archaeologists, geologists have dug everywhere and they have come up with the bones to prove that man started here. And that man was not sleeping, from the moment he was created he started creating. The heritage of that man, of the ancestor, is the heritage of the world.

You don't begin knowing yourself halfway. You don't start from Europe, because Europe started from Africa. It started in Ethiopia and Egypt.


It seems to me that you are conflating the local natural variation in Ethiopia with the historical variation over the ages that this interview highlights. By doing so, you are doing yourself a disservice. The ቦረነ ገብረ variation is local and natural. No?

If that is the case, it would be prudent to grow out of imposed and self imposed confusions and cultivate a harmony among the Ethiopian family across the board instead of preaching fallaciously that the descendants of Axum in both Ethiopia and Eritrea are not Africans. No?
