In social Media and even in this forum, Tigrians are scaring Eritreans, the threat the Amharic language can pose to people<äs identity. They took a picture of banner as an example on which the word welcome was written in both Amharic and Tigrigna in Keren. Their opposition and dissatisfaction was, why were the Amharic words written above the Tigrigna words
First of all, it is far fetched and rich for Tigrians to pretend that they care about culture, language and identity more than Eritreans. Because Eritreans didn't take arms and headed to the field because the federal government failed to provide us food or water but because Haile Selasie prohibited the practice of Tigrigna language in schools. Furthermore, After almost 30 years of Tigrian hegemony in Ethiopia? What has Tigrians done to uplift and enrich the language they claim to have as a mother tongue? I dare any Tigrian to provide me the link on which Tigrians pray to the almighty in their "mother tongue" and I double dare you to provide me the link on which Tigrians sing to glorify and praise God in their mother tongue.
in another development, Tigrai Media house, a Wayane established propaganda media is raising the issue of identity to attach Eritreans? Really? What is the identity of Tigrians? Are they Tigrigna or they are Amharic or ZarmoZarmo? Tigrians are identity less people. At least, The Tigrigna people of Eritrea, despite hundreds of years of foreign colonization, We kept intact our identity and language? What has Tigrians kept?
