History time: the old wars between Tigrayans and Saho?!
''The Saho-Tigrayan wars:
One Tigrayan from Agame sang the following verse about the battlefield in Sanako, when the Saho used to resist the Tigrayan incursions:
Sanako dherh sariidah mara
Anu anda fan cadaarak mara
Rabe Gebraa sin fillak mara.
o' Sanako people, of large acacias,
for how long should I tell my poems
The death of Gebray remains on your neck.
The Saho Warrior replied:
Sanako deenisha martenko
Lel tamweecele rabtemko
Birta dhacamta temeetenko
Sanakol elnane tabtenko
Kobba rabeh yane thabtenko.
If you still dream of Sanako
You will meet your death
You will taste my sword if you come
We are still in Sanako if you come,
Your father died and if you come you will follow him
After their defeat at Sanako, the Tigrayan agame invaders prepared a big offensive and announced that they were going to clean their swords in the Red Sea, by which they meant that they planned to eliminate all the Saho tribes from the highlands down to the sea coast. This information reached the Sahos, who consequently prepared their defenses and were in a state of high alert. Their center at the coast was Irafalo, and their leader was Ahmed umar, known as Ahmed Aaqa, while in the interior, their leaders were Usman Aaqa Humed Shum, Abdalla Ahmked Barole, and Hajji Ahmadin Abdalla. While the Tigrayan agames had firearms and were well equipped, the Saho warriors only had swords, spears, sticks, and stones; only a few of their leaders had rifles. Their defenses were in Wangabo and Samoti, and they controlled the strategic places Alad and Ma'abale, where they surrounded all the water places and wells. When the Tigrayans arrived with cattle they had raided at Saho settlements on their way, they faced a bitter confrontation. Some were killed in the field, among them their leaders Isayas, Yohannes and Sheferra. Some died due to thirst, some surrendered, and others hid themselves and escaped back home, where they reported their defeat''

Just a question, when did that occur and in which year.
Yours truly is a semi-historian and loves to learn from you and others.
Re: History time: the old wars between Tigrayans and Saho?!
War is about winning and loosing! I hope you are not posting this to instigate hatred! The Saho, Irob and the Tigrayan people have been living in peace as far as I know !

Some of the many crimes of Ras Alula in Eritrea 1879 - 1888

When Atse Yohannes took over in Tigray, the highlands of Eritrea were autonomous regions ruled by local families. Ras Woldemikael Solomon, ruler of Hamasein (1841 – 1879) from Hazega replaced Ras Hailu Tecle Haimanot of Tsatzega who was close to Atse Tedros. Ras Alula raided and pillaged several parts of Eritrea at different times before and after his appointment as Governor of Seraye, Hamassein and Akle Guzai on 9th October, 1876. His was the first non-Eritrean to rule the highlands of Eritrea. The only way he could feed his large army was to raid different parts of Eritrea and loot livestock and other property. Yet he never succeeded in having full control of Eritrea.
At the end of September 1880 he led his 12,000 man army into the Ansaba valley. On 10 October 1880, Alula crossed the river towards Keren near the Egyptian post of Shabbab. A detachment was sent to neutralize the fort of Sanhit (Keren), while the bulk of his army marched to the Halhal high plateau and established a fortified camp on top of a mountain. Here, Alula stayed for three weeks, dispatching strong raiding parties against the Habab, Beni Amer, Mensaa, Barka and others.
On 15 February 1882, Alula pillaged for 2 days Ad-Tamaryam and Bejuk and returned to Adi Teklay with about 7000- 8000 sheep and goats, similar number of cattle and 15,000 (Maria Theresa dollars).
On 12 May 1885, at head of 5,000 troops, the Alula encircled 1,000 followers of Shaykh Abd al-Qadir of the Habab who was collaborating with Mahdist leader, Osman Digna near Amba and annihilated a third of them.
On 22 November 1886, he pillaged the Baria and Kunama, took all their livestock and killed about 2/3 of them. A memory that is fresh on the folktales of the Baria and Kunama.
Ras Woldemikael, Bahta Hagos, Kifleyesus and the Tigrian renegade Dabbab with his Assawurta fighters resisted his presence (Erlich 1997, 11-16, 25, 32-34). The Beni Amer and Ras Woldemichael fought on the side of the Egyptians at Gura against Alula. The Italians were able to control most parts of Eritrea peacefully as the people were fed up with Alula’ incursions.

Tigrayans will contuinue to rule you either in the form of Isaias or from Axum!!
Re: History time: the old wars between Tigrayans and Saho?!
Uuuu...Joe Biden....uuuuu
TPLF trains residents in Axum to lie
The recently issued report of Amnesty International about the fake Axum massacre has put the organization's credibility into question ,sources said,
adding Amnesty has made use of various fake sources to come up with the big accusations.
The sources further stated that the dissemination of misinformation will put the impartiality and objectivity of the organization in a serious doubt.
TPLF criminals established a complex and expanded western partnership network, often focused on buy-offs and the clique is now utilizing its global war against the Federal government.
Noting that TPLF is calling for an international intervention to investigate crimes they staged and committed, the sources indicated that there are ample evidence that residents of Axum were colorfully and peacefully marked the annual St. Mary of Zion celebration in the day mentioned by Amnesty as a massacre day.

Just a question, when did that occur and in which year.
Yours truly is a semi-historian and loves to learn from you and others.
Anyways, I am trying to find the date, parts of this book are free online, and I am considering buying it.
To Agame Tarik: I can post what I want, when I want, about what I want; and there's nothing that you and your 3-5 other accounts that you use to try to make oromo/ethiopians hate eritreans and other ethiopians, can do about it, but cry and complain.
Saho is closer to Oromo than to an Agame, that's for sure.

Re: History time: the old wars between Tigrayans and Saho?!
Of course- one agame comes to the defense of another agame, and also agrees with his agame kin. Not a surprise at all that a fake eritrean, doesn't get along with any other eritrean here, nor does any other eritrean here agree, but the agame(s) here get along with tarik just fine.

Re: History time: the old wars between Tigrayans and Saho?!
See how Tigray and Oromo alliance could bring the Horn of Africa to the front of the world!

Re: History time: the old wars between Tigrayans and Saho?!
Another exhibit that the filthy agame kerenite is a funfun aliet agame.
We all know that the agames lie from right and left all the time.
And here comes the stupid medanageri agame kerenite raising his ugly head, instead of believing (even if it is a made up story) what ever story about the brave Eritrean Saho bravery, he is questioning it.
It is ok to them agames like him to fabricate fake histories but unlike the rest of the Eritreans who don’t know the truthfulness of any story which praises Eritreans and keep it in their hearts, this mother fu’cker doubts it truthfulness which is an ammunition for his tribe.
As an Eritrean I won’t hesitate to slit a 10000 agames throats to save one Saho Eritrean’s life let alone to lie or fabricate or in this case to believe Eritrean of all tribes bravery or history which didn’t even happen.
Resah, chenawi idiot agame who has no respect to Islam on the account of the policies of his tigray against his Muslim agames.

Re: History time: the old wars between Tigrayans and Saho?!
While the Tigrayans had firearms and were well-equipped, the Saho warriors had only swords, spears, sticks and stones; only a few of their leaders possessed rifles. Their defenses were in Wangabo and Samoti, and they controlled the strategic places Alad and Ma'abale, where they surrounded all the water places and wells. When the Tigrayan soldiers arrived with cattle they had raided at Saho settlements on their way, they faced a bitter confrontation. Some of them were killed in the field, among them their leaders Isais, Yohannes and Sheferra. Some died by thirst, some surrendered, and others hid themselves and escaped back home, where they reported their defeat. One Tigrayan poet composed the following poem about these events, disappointed by his country's warriors:
''Macaabale kee Aladih fane
Sabable lamma layeh fane
Ni casa labha goron male
Nok zazactemko (zaza'temko) gaxtem
(gahtem) male
Guumayti mango sabuuba le
Yanguli mango bariida le
Isais qarshi lifeena le
Yohannes warqi dabuula le
Sheferre Harrir qamiisha le
Hakabi gaysha gaba edmale
(Between Ma'abale and Alad places
Between two water places of trouble
Our red warriors disappeared there
Those who headed to the sea didn't come back
The vulture had much to celebrate
The hyena had enough to feed herself
Isais who had a silver comb
Yohannes who had a golden necklace
Sheferra who had silken clothes
Hakabi gaysha is not responsible.)
Similarly, one Tigrayan leader warned the Saho:
Sayyoko akko xalasita (halalsita)
Ruwaageeko akko deecarsita
(dee'arsita)
Bakooliko akko dimmarsita
Yowa Sinni dagaako ilalsita.
(Spend your last night with your women
Let your calves get their last milk
Let the young goats have their last milk
Expect me coming down from your hill.)
One of the Saho warriors replied:
'sayyooko akko mixalalsinna
(mihalalsinna)
Ruwaageeko akko mideecarsinna
(midee'arsinna)
Bakooliko akko midimmarsinna
Kowa xerabbarha (herabbarha) ilal sinna.
(We are not going spend our last night with our women
Our calves will not get their last milk.
Our young goats will not have their last milk.
We are awaiting you, son of a pig.)
After the defeat of the tigrayan invaders, the Italians who were present in the area when the last conflict took place, sometime in the 1880s, and had watched the battle interevened and arrested the leaders of the Saho. It was the last Tigrayan invasion before the Italians established their colonial rule and gradually pacified the territory.''

One Tigrayan from Agame sang the following verse about the battlefield in Sanako, when the Saho used to resist the Tigrayan incursions:
Sanako dherh sariidah mara
Anu anda fan cadaarak mara
Rabe Gebraa sin fillak mara.
o' Sanako people, of large acacias,
for how long should I tell my poems
The death of Gebray remains on your neck.
The Saho Warrior replied:
Sanako deenisha martenko
Lel tamweecele rabtemko
Birta dhacamta temeetenko
Sanakol elnane tabtenko
Kobba rabeh yane thabtenko.
If you still dream of Sanako
You will meet your death
You will taste my sword if you come
We are still in Sanako if you come,
Your father died and if you come you will follow him
After their defeat at Sanako, the Tigrayan agame invaders prepared a big offensive and announced that they were going to clean their swords in the Red Sea, by which they meant that they planned to eliminate all the Saho tribes from the highlands down to the sea coast. This information reached the Sahos, who consequently prepared their defenses and were in a state of high alert. Their center at the coast was Irafalo, and their leader was Ahmed umar, known as Ahmed Aaqa, while in the interior, their leaders were Usman Aaqa Humed Shum, Abdalla Ahmked Barole, and Hajji Ahmadin Abdalla. While the Tigrayan agames had firearms and were well equipped, the Saho warriors only had swords, spears, sticks, and stones; only a few of their leaders had rifles. Their defenses were in Wangabo and Samoti, and they controlled the strategic places Alad and Ma'abale, where they surrounded all the water places and wells. When the Tigrayans arrived with cattle they had raided at Saho settlements on their way, they faced a bitter confrontation. Some were killed in the field, among them their leaders Isayas, Yohannes and Sheferra. Some died due to thirst, some surrendered, and others hid themselves and escaped back home, where they reported their defeat''

Just a question, when did that occur and in which year.
Yours truly is a semi-historian and loves to learn from you and others.

Anyways, I am trying to find the date, parts of this book are free online, and I am considering buying it.
To Agame Tarik: I can post what I want, when I want, about what I want; and there's nothing that you and your 3-5 other accounts that you use to try to make oromo/ethiopians hate eritreans and other ethiopians, can do about it, but cry and complain.
Saho is closer to Oromo than to an Agame, that's for sure.
Asselam aleykum again.
I will concentrate on your question:
Religious-wise, if sombody asks a Muslim if he/she is a Muslim and if that particular person happens to be a Muslim Then the correct answer to the question is:
ALHAMDULILLAH.
So my response to you is Alhamdullillah. But God fobid, not alshabab or Qaeda or ISIS or Boko haram type but a moderate one.
Re: History time: the old wars between Tigrayans and Saho?!
Kerenite just say I am a Muslim don’t say moderate a moderate Muslims is not different then just another Muslims surely we are different then the extremist but this term moderate has been coined by the west to create a friction between Muslims it’s not like moderate Muslims pray three times a day ur correct answer to say alxamdulilah is right but never say moderate it just has a bad connotation the 98 percent of Muslims a re peaceful and peace loving Muslims the extremist are less the two percent
