Nearly every day I see notifications that someone from Brigade N'Hamedu has launched some tedious new verbal attack on me. These are often reposts of reposts of reposts.

These people are enraged that the Eritrean diaspora gather to peaefully celebrate their culture and that I wrote about the lawsuit regarding their attack on the 2023 Eritrean American Festival in Seattle, one of many such attacks at festivals across the West.

In Seattle they tore down exhibition tents, set Eritrean dresses on fire, paraded around waving American flags and blue-and-green Brigade N’Hamedu flags, and fired shots at 6 am. They even filmed themselves doing it and posted the video on X and then YouTube. Later they sent several festival goers to the nearest emergency room. These are facts; I was there, and as I said, they even filmed themselves.

My advice to those constantly posting these verbal attacks is: Ignore me. The most effective way to suppress the truth is to simply ignore it. This advice is a courtesy that you don't deserve.

The sad thing about these junkie, "ብሪገድ ንሓመዱ"፡ is that most of the criminals are from Chigrai, cousins of ወዲ ዓጣሪት!

Are the 8 tribes are allowed to use and develop their languages?. All are speech communities. If their languages are not used, not written and developed, they will lose them; they will go extinct. This negligence is against the Charter of the UN on preserving, developing and using indigenous languages.

[Mesob]

Historically, there were only 8 ethnic and clan groups in Eritrea. At this moment, there are only two significant ethnic groups in Eritrea, i.e the Tigre and the Tigrinya who make more than 90% of Eritrea. The other ethnic groups such as the recent Rashaida clan had long left Eritrea, the number of the Afars, Bilen, Hadendewa have become insignificant, because they had left the country. There are more Amharic speakers in Eritrea than all the smaller minorities combined. This makes Amharic the third most spoken and understood language in Eritrea.

The post-independence government of Eritrea introduced mother tongues as mediums of instruction at lower levels of education, while declaring all languages equal (Negash 1999, Gottesman 1998, Constitution 1997).

For your information, in the current Eritrea, Amharic or Ethiopian music is the second largest distributed music and heard in the Eritrean taxis and buses. Amharic books are the most sought after books and sold after Tigrinya. In the second hand book market in Asmara, more Amharic books are bought than Tigrinya books. This does not include the digital Amharic books that circulate in the country.

These timely studies, and the type of information they will unearth, will intelligently refute the 70 years running concocted elaborate lies about the people and nation of Eritrea, and similarly, trace the root cause of all the problems that faced the country to its source.

It's not surprising to see the source of all these problems are panicking about these studies, which they know will further expose their work of darkness, the likes of which nobody has ever seen before. Viva Eritrea!

Arab concubine?
Where do you get your information from? from your [deleted]? Unless Amhara noble price winners started to publish their research in Amharic, give me one reason why people seek to read Amharic books? Music? Old school Amharic music like Ephrem TaAmuru or Aster twaake might still be popular among people but the current generation wouldn't even mention one single Amharic singer if their own existence is dependent on it.

Or perhaps, you are just confusing the nobility with the worthless agames who have a love and hate relationship with amhara and Amharic?

[Mesob]

Arab Abid Concubine slaves like you Wedi Arait Aramu deserve the son of the great House Of Tembien Issaias Afeworki. Arab Abids who hated their own languages, history and identity are valueless whose place is only the trash bin or Qoshie or the Discarica at Sedici near Asmara.
This is the reason poor Eritreans are sold and butchered by the savage Arabs everywhere.
