Explosions in Addis.

A bunch of explosions rang out in Addis, people there said. They seem to be caused by drones that have targeted the military base and airport.

If these reports are true, this is pretty significant isn’t it? Addis hasn’t ever been struck by drones in modern warfare. It pretty much strips the image of Addis as the safe haven of the country free from this war bullshit.

What’s the go here for ENDF? Invest in Addis-stationed anti-drone technology if these reports are true? I know the federal government is in partnership with Turkey, the UAE and Israel for such equipment.

And can anyone in AA report if these explosions are actually drone related?

Is GEDMatch’s Gedrosia K3 tool a good estimation of Northern Ethiosemite West Eurasian DNA?

The sample shown is for a Tigrayan from central to northern Tigray. In total he’s about 46% SSA and 54% Eurasian. His brother is lighter skinned and shorter and gets 56% Eurasian and 44% SSA using Gedrosia K3.

It seems accurate to me. What do yall think?

Gaby’s hypocrisy in season 5 regarding Carlos regaining his sight and returning to being a shark executive.

In season 5 after they have kids together and he regained his sight.

Why did she get mad that after Carlos got his sight back, and she practically forced him to take a job as the CEO or something of a big company (replacing Bradley who was cheating on his wife who snapped and murdered him after finding out; their whole relationship should have been a cautionary tale for Gaby and Carlos but anyway…), he wouldn’t be around as much again, like in season one where she commits adultery with a kid when Carlos was… not around as much to support her self-centeredness?

Now in season 5 episode 11 she’s mad because Carlos won’t fuck her as much as she wants him to because… he’s working overtime trying to get the big bucks for her… as much as she wants him to make.

It’s like people seem to think she has this terrific character development but it rings false to me. She’s still as selfish as she was in the early seasons. It’s like all she wants from Carlos is either money or to fuck her every night, but obviously she can’t have both. I guess that’s why she searched for the latter elsewhere in season one when Carlos was too busy at work. It’s sad.

Who has most Eurasian DNA in Subsaharan Africa?

Outside of the Rashaida of Eritrea who are just Saudi Arabians lol.

I’m fairly certain it’s between:

  1. Ethiosemites of Ethiopia and Eritrea otherwise known as Habesha (which technically would include arabised groups like the Tigre of Eritrea). They are uniformly around 50-55% Eurasian, but outliers of up to 60% West Eurasian admixture are present in this population. They pretty much should be considered Caucasian up to a certain extent.
  2. Nomadic Cushite pastoralist/agriculturalist tribes of Eritrea and Sudan like the Beja, Nubians, and Beni Amer, who have interacted a lot with Arabs from Yemen and Saudi Arabia thus influencing their already high base Eurasian admixture.
  3. Or just Sudanese Arabs in northern to central Sudan. These guys are pretty much genetically Arab with some minor subsaharan Nilotic and Cushitic input but different Arab groups of Sudan do have more SSA than others.

Or is there another group I’m forgetting? Who is it? What do G25 distances and qpadm models suggest? I’m leaning towards Habesha especially Tigrayans, Tigrinya and Tigre of Eritrea and Ethiopia being the most Eurasian shifted based on the modelling I’ve done but need other people’s thoughts.

Thanks guys.

% Levant admixture in Karaite (Egyptian) Jews?

What level of Levantine admixture do Karaite Jews from Egypt get?

I’ve rarely if ever seen a post from an Egyptian Jew on their IllustrativeDNA.

Theoretically they should have potentially even more Bronze Age (Canaanite), Iron Age Levantine and Roman Levant era admixture to most populations from the Southern Levant (so other Mizrahi Jews from Israel, Palestinian Arabs and so on). They may even be on par with Samaritans in that respect.

Can anyone confirm with some samples from Illustrative or otherwise?

▲ 22 r/Amhara+1 crossposts

Today's Tigray was created by forcibly assimilating different ethnicities. For example, in Welkait and Raya, the TPLF (Adwa Tigray) forbade people from listening to Amharic music, among other restrictions and atrocities, to enforce the assimilation of the native Amhara people of Welkait and Raya.

By promoting Tigrayan nationalism and assassinating older generations who knew their roots and fighting those who rebelled like the Kefagn self defense militia, a regional force formed to protect local Amhara identity in Welkait, the TPLF worked to eliminate non ethnic Tigrayans or push them toward accepting the Tigrayan identity. This strategy worked on a large number of people living in the Tigray region, but some still refuse to accept this forced identity.

Can someone run some models for the below coords on g25? It seems as if it’s getting models that say it’s closer to Ethiopian Amhara when it’s not (it’s a Tigrayan sample). Also if someone could go to work out Eurasian vs SSA admixture for the below?

As the post above says. My friend is getting closer distances and single population models that give him Amhara as his core population admixture. If yall could help him figure out what he actually is? And what his admixture of West Eurasian vs SSA is based on these coordinates?

Habesha results

Hi guys. These are my genetic results.

As far as I know, all of my ancestry is from Ethiopia from Tigray, and maybe only one ancestor from Gojjam in Amhara region, but aside from that I have a rooted lineage in the Adwa mountain area and surrounding areas.

  1. Why are my regions on 23andme not certain or “very close”? At best I get close for my regions and “distant” for others. Is 23andme not that accurate in mapping regions for people as we think it is? The regions themselves aside from “Amhara and Oromo peoples” seem accurate but can anyone comment?

  2. What percentage of subsaharan vs Eurasian DNA do I have? I guess based on the IllustrativeDNA Hunter gatherer results it’s 55-45? Can someone calculate this here? And am I more Eurasian or African shifted? I dislike knowing I could possibly be more autosomally Eurasian than African.

  3. Why is my Natufian admixture so minimal (only 26%) when most northern Ethiopians tend to have around 50% of their Hunter gatherer derived DNA from the Natufians?

  4. Why do I have Eritreans as my closest modern population on Illustrative? I have had some family live there but genetically I don’t have any Eritrean descent that I directly know of? What’s the issue there?
