How did Italians treat Eritreans?
Some Italian entrepreneurs had positive appreciation of their colonized Eritreans. They had observed the character, work ethic and easy adaptability of the people and had determined that transformation was imminent.

1557 The Ottoman empire made Eritrea one of its colonies and colonized it for 300 years.
1865 The Egyptian Khedivates took over Eritrea from the Turks
1882-1941 Italians colonized Eritrea
1941-1952 The British rule over Eritrea
1952-1962 The UN forced Eritrea federation with Ethiopia by the Resolution 390-A(V)
15-09-1953 Eritrean Constitution during the federation was drafted.
01-09-1961 Starting of the Eritrean armed struggle for Independence.
14-11-1962 Emperor Hailesellasies of Ethiopia has forcibly dissolved the Eritrean Assembly and illegally annexed Eritrea as its province
24-05-1991 Ethiopian armed forces were forced out of the country and Asmara was liberated.
22-04-1993 to 23-04-1993

Finally, the Eritrean people had the chance to determine his own future through a UN referendum (99.908% voted for independence).
24-05-1993 Eritrea declared its sovereignty.
06-05-1998 to 25-06-2000 Border conflict with Ethiopia started
12-04-2002 The Eritrea-Ethiopia Broder Commission decision on the Delamination of the Border between Eritrea and Ethiopia was announced.

The above history is a fake history designed to deny the fact that most of the present day Eritrea was part of Tigray. The Turks and Egyptians were at the coastal areas. If the Turkish colonized the present day Eritrea for 300 years by now no Christianity/ Tigrigna could have been practiced/spoken in Eritrea. The Eritrea - Ethiopia border decision and the Algiers agreement is null and void due to the ongoing invasion of Tigray/ Ethiopia by Eritrea . The border shall be demarcated once Ethiopia/ Tigray occupies the strip of land from Assab to the historic Axumite port of Adulis.

Well you can deny it all you want but facts are just facts. If you have to tell me that Tigray is the base of Ethiopia, I have no argument there. There is no more Ethiopian than Tigryans themselves. I really believe that. Looking at the history of Ethiopia, every thing about Ethiopia points to Tigray. So, I advise you to stick to where you belong and carry on, if, not no one knows the bravery of Eritreans more than yourself, so, go head and go to war with Eritreans to claim your lost lands. Lol Ayyyyyy Agame.

Which bravery are you talking about, if you have been colonized and under slavery all your life ?
If you are referring to the one of the 30 years struggle and independence, it was achieved through the joint struggle under the leadership of the Tigrayan Isaias and his blood brothers in Tigray. Fact!!!

This is the concise history of Eritrea
What is amazing is how the aloof Eritreans never were enticed by the culture of these different invaders, never intermarrying, and in the process developing an egalitarian society with unique sets of character that both friends and foes easily recognise. Eritrea greatest blessing was that it had no Atse Kassa Mirach to divide its people into serfs and lords, like Aste Kassa and his predecessors did in Tigray.

That is not true, the impact of Italians on Eritrea over 50 years colony was significant, even though most of Italians were in Asmara.

There were more Tigray women married to Italians, even today there are more Catholics in Tigray than in Eritrea. People like Atse Kassa empowered few and dispossessed many Tigray people, so the few disenfranchised Tigrays that were in Eritrea were not as aloof to Italians as the Eritreans were

Chihuahua cùnt, I know you wish the italians had colonized you.

As for bravery, take on zemen's challenge then & attack Eritrea. See what happens to you, you 2 legged human leech.

Zemen, it's z other way around. We Eritreans taught z Italians and others work ethic. We Eritreans only eat from what we sweat.

Axumamenzra did you see your shermu’tta agame lady exposing your family members including you that she is jealous of Eritreans yesterday it was in her video?
She told us what your family talk in your quenti dinner table.
She exposed you that your family wishes and dream that you were Eritreans.
And here you are manifesting the same thing she said.
You can dream, wish and salivate not only to be an Eritrean but to falsify history just to belong to Eritreanism.
I mean, even if we are to believe your fake dream or fake history was to be true for your sake, knowing that we detest and hate your funfunat aliet, why don’t you just say “heck go to hell you Eritreans” and be proud of your dream fake history than consistently beg to associate your filthy, funfun aliet with Eritrea?
Low lives, pride less dignity less Wedi qosal mitra agame.
Wow, it is very sad that you really believe that you agames are looked down up on to falsify history to raise your ego.
Man the Ethiopians believe that you are Ethiopians and thus why don’t you ‘falsify’ history and try to be proud of their history?
Why advocate against the narrative (fact) of the Ethiopians belief that Eritrea is for Eritreans and yiu agames are Ethiopians which is the fact.
Why do you gain by talking (dreaming) that you belong to Eritreans when you know that we hate you and we don’t want any part of you filthy agames even if the fact was to be in your advantage?

Well put!!! Hats off to you.

Just minor historical corrections.The official Italian occupation of eritrea was in 1890 and not in 1882. Besides, the egyptian khediev took over power from the ottoman turks in 1865 to administer the areas which is absolutetly correct but the egyptians were not administering eritrea as a whole. Their presence was limited only on 2 areas namely in the red sea shores such as massawa as far as sewakin, sudan and in the meantime keren area. In keren elderly people tell that the FORTO of keren was built by egyptians.

In conclusion, those were the only areas which were occupied by the khediv of egypt and not entire eritrea.

Talking about bravery while spending 400 years(including Tigrayan Isaias's rule) under slavery !

Only an Arab slave or their concubine would believe such Made in Arab Republic of Egypt fiction.
Had this fiction had a scant of truth in it, Eritreans would be fluent in Turkish by now,
and Eritrea's true 9th ethnic group would be Turkic group.
Stop hallucinating the Turkish opium and have some respect to your valiant ancestors who left you a treasure and respect in Tigre and Tigrinya languages.

I think it's incredibly impressive that, the Eritrean people, after having to endure colonization under different powers for so long, they were able to retain their culture, language and moral values intact, when other Africans facing the same predicament weren't able to do so.

I cringe when I see Kenyan judges wearing blond wigs, and demand to be addressed as "my lord", or "my lady", a testament to the British colonization of Kenya that has robbed the people of the cultural identity and traditions of their ancestors.

A friend once quipped, if there were two beauty salons adjacent to each other in our capital, one named Addis Ababa, and the other New Flower, our ladies would flock to the latter, thinking it provides a superior service. It's sad, but true!

Thanks, Abdisa. It even gets sadder by the day. Even Africans with higher levels of education embarrassingly name their offspring with the names stolen from their ex-colonizers, apparently still their masters. Just listen to any of the English/French media programs, like BBC, France 24, and you would be shocked to hear that the first names of the guests are non-African whether they are from the Zulu, Massai, or the Francophone groups. Basically, unless they have Arabic(Islamic) names like in Northern Africa, the rest of them have first names such as "Agnes", "Robert", "Jacqueline", "Bethy", "Patrice" etc., which of course are not African! And we are supposed to believe that these Africans have any kind of pride in who they are, instead who they like to be?
Having said that, I understand having an ex-colonialist name if a child was born from an ex-colonialist father or mother. But for African ni99as naming their children by the names of their ex-colonialists is disgustingly shameful.

I sometimes come across Nigerian movies on Youtube produced by the Nigerian Film Industry that calls itself "Nollywood"-- a name that could only be explained as the promotion of inferiority complex among Nigerians-- and the films are all made in English, spoken with the heavy Nigerian accent, as if none of the 525 languages in Nigeria are unfit for making films. Go figure!

This problem is however not only limited to Nigerians, but in fact it's more widespread that we think. For instance, an Ethiopian immigrant family in my town thought their children having good command of the English language made them "educated" that they neglected their parental duties to monitor their children's education, and as a consequence, the children grew up illiterate. Thus, they are unable to find meaningful jobs and are exposed to street life today.

Abdisa wrote, just a thought. I also did came across those films and happened to watch a couple of them. Although like any other films they had sad, aspiring and good messages, the actresses boy !!!! as pretty as they come, they wear straight long, wavy sometimes blond wigs, I damn, I damn it !!! Like you mentioned it, they try to assimilate that European looks and culture. That kind of mental state seems to linger more in those Central and west African states culture no pun intended. So long we follow those colonial culture mind set, we'll never get off those invisible chains that are impeding our progress.
