Tigray and Eritrea are not cousins, as Eritrea is Cushitic and Tigray is Semetic

Eritrea is mainly Cushitic. They are migrants from Sudan and Central Africa. They are mainly Bantu African migrants. There is nothing wrong with that. It is just mentioning a fact in history. Tigray mainly are semetic and belong to the Mesopotamian Large Family of Semetic people ( Aramiac, Accadien). Of Course they have intermixed with local Cushitic population in Aksumite Empire, but very little as The Tigrayan Culture prohibits intermixing with non-Tigrayans.
The Tigrigna spoken in Eritrea is different from Tigrigna spoken in Tigray. Eritrea used to be a district of Tigray before 1890. Thus Tigraigna spoken in Eritrea is forced on Eritrean cushitic population by Tigrayan Rulers.
