Husein Bolt is called the fastest man in the world, but is he?
Obviously he can’t beat me in 1000 meters run neither can he beat any professional marathon runner.
And camel can survive the longest with out drinking water and it was our transportation mode during our struggle while the coward of Ethiopia was being supported by the Soviet and the USA tanks and fighter jets and tortoise lives longer than all animals.
That is the definition of

Eritreanism and those two animals are yes the symbol of Eritrea

.
We don’t freaking build superficial high rise buildings or roads which can benefit 15% of our population in a jiffy while our 85% of our population is starving like you rats.
We do things on our pace even if it takes us long like the tortoise

for the benefit of all our population.

Catch me if you can! Segeraw, if you're going to make me laugh this hard next time, a little heads-up would be appreciated.

ትምባሆ - እንዴ ታዲያ ለምን መንደፈራ ቁጭ ብለህ አትሻግትም ኤሊዋ ጉዞዋን እስከምትጨርስ ድረስ፣ ተሽቀዳድመህ በአሳነባሪ ከምትሰለቀጥና በየሃገራቱ ከምትንከራተት?

Most likely
--- Camel is associated with kneeling down and submissiveness. If someone wants to sit on her back or load on her the word ብረኪ is enough. Unfortunately, the Eritrea province historically been the soft spot enemies used to infiltrate and attack Ethiopia. Turkey, Egypt, Italy, Britain easily exploited the submissiveness of the people of this area. They did not put up resistance; Italy, for instance used ብረኪ style putting her boots for 5 decades on the necks of Eritrea people. Whether by accident or intention why Shabia used camel very well tells kneeling down and submissiveness. You might as well think why Ethiopia's symbol is Lion.
--- The other reason is could be that camel is a very common animal in the province indicating the aridness of the area. If there were other popular wild life or resource they would have used that. I think I heard that Eritrea export camel and camel meat to Saudi Arabia.
Camel as to me is not telling good. First camel meat is forbidden in Christianity, it is unholy. Second, Eritrea is not fertile or does not get enough rain; agriculture is uncommon.

አዳል ግመሊቱን ይላታል ብረኪ፤
መንደሮቹ ትንሽ ሰዎቹ አነካኪ።
የዔሊው ጉዳይ እኮ ግልጽ ነው።
ኤርትራ እንደ ሲንግፑር (sing-poor) የምታድግበት ፍጥነት ነው።
