Why do foreign directed media like BBC, VOA, Voice of Germany employ Eritreans only in their Tigrigna service?

BBC Tigrigna service filled with Shaebia agents from Eritrea. Besides they do not speak Tigrigna properly. They speak a mix of Saho, Billen and other pastoral communities in Eritrea and Sudan. Their intonation and pronunciation is like a Frenchman reading English news in BBC.
We call foreign directed media to employ journalists from Tigray for their Tigrigna services. Non-native speakers of Tigrigna like Eritreans or Amaras could also be employed if they speak the same Tigrigna as spoken in Tigray. They could go for training in Tigray, where Tigrigna courses are given at Mekelle University and other universities in Tigray.
