Selam everyone, I’m Eritrean and would like to hear from people in Tigray about what’s going on there. I heard something about Mekelle. Are there really Eritrean soldiers in Tigray right now? What is this war about now?

Also, what else is going on in Tigray? I saw a video of a child from Tigray kidnapped by the RSF who Abiy is heavily helping via UAE. It seems like Tigray is in the middle of a lot of strife from different directions.

Alternatively, if I wanted to do something purely audio, what are some good voice recorders that are affordable that are recommended?

EDIT: budget is maximum $100. Can find used options online, just need the brand name and why it’s good.

They just deal with a lot and deserve their flowers too.

What are your guys thoughts on this?

What’s the history of how Tigrinya Muslims became Muslim?

Has anyone noticed PTSD/trauma from the older generations of Eritreans who lived through Derg? And for that matter, has anyone noticed PTSD/trauma of the older Eritreans who fought in the war?

I mainly know amiches, any family I have that grew up in Eritrea during the war are either dead or distant relatives. Curious to know other people’s observations. Habeshas, especially the older generation, don’t take mental health stuff serious but has any one else noticed the older generation has some trauma from what they experienced?

On Google it says that the dmv area holds the largest population of habeshas outside Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Thats insane!

How did habeshas end up specifically in the dc area in America? It’s similar to Somalis in Minnesota and Guyanese in New York City and other immigrant groups having pockets in specific areas, but I’m just curious *how exactly* Eritreans and Ethiopians chose the DMV area.

I looked it up and there was an article that mentioned that Haile Selassie had sent some Ethiopians to go to school at Howard university, and that established this pipeline between our region of the world and the DMV. Also, apparently during Derg when a lot of people were fleeing, there were direct flights to DC from Ethiopia compared to other states.

Does anyone know anything more about this? I’m fascinated with how groups of people will all migrate to the same area over time, like how did that begin with Ethiopia and Eritrea specifically?

Iyasu was the chosen heir to the throne by the previous king.

What do yall believe? Sags are known for looking at the bigger picture and being philosophical creatures, pondering existence. Does anyone follow a particular faith? I could only choose 6 options for the poll, so all the other options that you may be, please choose option 6 and write out your beliefs in the comments! Please lol.

What does it mean when you meet an adult with a white aura?

I’ve heard that babies have white auras bc they haven’t developed their sense of self yet. But what of adults with white auras?

Do NPCs exist with no aura?

She had something special with her. Maybe photographic memory? She was super smart and could solve mysteries, I can’t remember the details as to why or how she would.

She ends up dating a guy, and throughout the book she’s trying to solve a murder. It turns out that he is the killer she was looking for the whole time. He tried to kill her towards the end too but she survives.

There was some Irish undertone to the book or books (?) because it was from this book or series that I learned the term “anam cara” which is Irish for soul friend. She says it to the killer guy or he said it to her.

If anyone knows what this book is called, I’d really appreciate it! Can’t remember for the life of me but it was so good!

It was a teen/young adult book.

The main protagonist was a girl, and either she was named Cam or the guy she dated was named Cam.

A flavor; what would it be?

A smell; what would it smell like?

A texture; what would it be like to touch?

A sound; what is it?

I hear the term being used a lot more and more lately and I wonder if it applies to me but I really don’t know. What does being neurodivergent look like or how can you tell if you are?
