Support the future republic of the Muslim Beni Amirs, Hadendewas, Hedarebs and the Arab Rashaydas in eastern Sudan with Port Sudan as their capital city in the state of Beja Republic.
These groups arrived in Eritrea recently, most with the Italians in search of employment and stable environment, escaping Egyptian and Sudanese occupation of their land in Sudan.
Many of the Beni Amirs, Hadendewas, Hedarebs and the Arab Rashaydas had already left Eritrea to Sudan for good and they have accepted Sudanese passports.
Many Jebertis who recently arriveds from Wello and Somalia have shown great interest to live in Beja republic to speak and live under Arabic dominated culture because they hate the Tigre, Bilen, Tigrinya and Amharic languages.


Issaias and his political party are abandoning the Arab and the pan Arabist Islamist Arabization agenda in Eritrea and the Horn of Africa that was engineered by Egypt and the Arabs to weaken the unity, identity and history of the proud people of Eritrea and Ethiopia.
Thank you Issaias and the people of Eritrea. The Weyanes and the Tigrayan leaders who are hiding in Mekele need to learn from Issaias and smell the coffee.

Great and educational VOA interview.


This is the Beja history in short

The Beja are traditionally Cushitic-speaking pastoral nomads native to northeast Africa. A geographer named Abu Nasr Mutahhar al-Maqdisi wrote in the tenth century that the Beja were at that time Christians.[3] Beja territories in the Eastern desert were made tributary by the Kingdom of Aksum in the third century.[4] The Beja were Islamized beginning in the 15th century. The now-Islamic Beja participated in the further Muslim conquest of Sudan, expanding southward. The Hadendoa Beja by the 18th century dominated much of eastern Sudan. In the Mahdist War of the 1880s to 1890s, the Beja fought on both sides, the Hadendoa siding with the rebels while the Bisharin and Amarar tribes sided with the British,[5] while some Beni Amer - a subset of the Beja who live largely in modern Eritrea - sided with the Ethiopian Ras Alula in certain battles such as Kufit.[6]
Beja bedouins

The Beja Congress was formed in 1952 with the aim of pursuing regional autonomy against the government in Khartoum. Frustrated by the lack of progress, the Beja Congress joined the insurgent National Democratic Alliance in the 1990s. The Beja Congress effectively controlled a part of eastern Sudan centered on Garoura and Hamshkoraib. The Beja Congress sabotaged the oil pipeline to Port Sudan several times during 1999 and 2000. In 2003, they rejected the peace deal arranged between the Sudanese government and the Sudan People's Liberation Army, and allied with the rebel movement of the Darfur region, the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army, in January 2004. A peace agreement was signed with the government of Sudan in October 2006. In the general elections in April 2010, the Beja Congress did not win a single seat in the National Assembly in Khartoum. In anger over alleged election fraud and the slow implementation of the peace agreement, the Beja Congress in October 2011 withdrew from the agreement, and later announced an alliance with the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army.
Geography
A Bisharin Beja man.

The Beja people inhabit a general area between the Nile River and the Red Sea in Sudan, Eritrea and eastern Egypt known as the Eastern Desert. Most of them live in the Sudanese states of Red Sea around Port Sudan, River Nile, Al Qadarif and Kassala, as well as in Northern Red Sea, Gash-Barka, and Anseba Regions in Eritrea, and southeastern Egypt. There are smaller populations of other Beja ethnic groups further north into Egypt's Eastern Desert. Some Beja groups are nomadic. The Kharga Oasis in Egypt's Western Desert is home to a large number of Qamhat Bisharin who were displaced by the Aswan High Dam. Jebel Uweinat is revered by the Qamhat.
Names

The Beja have been named "Blemmyes" in Roman times,[7] Bəga in Aksumite inscriptions in Ge'ez,[8] and "Fuzzy-Wuzzy" by Rudyard Kipling. Kipling was specifically referring to the Hadendoa, who fought the British, supporting the "Mahdi," a Sudanese leader of a rebellion against the Turkish rule administered by the British.[5]
Language
Geographical distribution of Beja speakers.

The Beja speak the Beja language, known as Bidhaawyeet or Tubdhaawi in that language. It belongs to the Cushitic branch of the Afroasiatic family.[1]

The French linguist Didier Morin (2001) has made an attempt to bridge the gap between Beja and another branch of Cushitic, namely Lowland East Cushitic languages and in particular Afar and Saho, the linguistic hypothesis being historically grounded on the fact that the three languages were once geographically contiguous.[9] Most Beja speak the Beja language, but certain subgroups use other lingua franca. The Beni Amers speak a variety of Tigre, whereas most of the Halengas speak Arabic.[9]

Although there is a marked Arabic influence, the Beja language is still widely spoken. The very fact that the highest moral and cultural values of this society are in one way or the other linked to their expression in Beja, that Beja poetry is still highly praised, and that the claims over the Beja land are only valid when expressed in Beja, are very strong social factors in favour of its preservation. True enough Arabic is considered as the language of modernity, but it is also very low in the scale of Beja cultural values as it is a means of transgressing social prohibitions. Beja is still the prestigious language for most of its speakers because it conforms to the ethical values of the community.[9]
Subdivisions
A Beja shield made of animal hide from the 20th century, in the collection of the Walters Art Museum

The Bejas are divided into clans. These lineages include the Bisharin, Hedareb, Hadendowa (or Hadendoa), the Amarar (or Amar'ar), Beni-Amer, Hallenga , Habab , Belin and Hamran, some of whom are partly mixed with Bedouins in the east.

Beja society was traditionally organized into independent kingdoms. According to Al-Yaqubi, there were six such Beja polities that existed between Aswan and Massawa during the 9th century. Among these were the Kingdom of Bazin, Kingdom of Belgin, Kingdom of Jarin, Kingdom of Nagash, Kingdom of Qita'a and Kingdom of Tankish.[1

Mesob or mekhombia or mebokoria or whatever you call yourself,

You people are pathological liars with no shame. You shamelessly with evil intentions are telling us that the beja want to establish a nation in east sudan.

You crooked agazian, this a sheer lie!!! let me share with your sorry asz this brand latest news which is not even one week old.

You wrote "establish" a nation? My foot! On the contrary the clans or the children of beja such as the beni-A'mrs and the habab are now at each other's throat as we speak.The big city kessela is under curfew (saat illafi awaj) BTW, the overwhelming dwellers of kassala are bein-A'mrs and habab whereas port sudan is inhabited by the hedendwa who happen to be the majority.

All these clans belong to the beja.

Finally,

Some of the beja political activists believe that the hgdef regime has a hand on this debacle.
