What’s his name again and what is he saying

Old movie that was filmed in Massawa, sometimes I forget how busy Massawa used to be, what happened? 😢

I’ve been watching some old footages and I found this picture, I didn’t screenshot it from a video i just found this as is, but I really want to find the context of it. They all have their hair cut short and they’re all wearing the same thing and they’re clearly singing about something, they look like soilders. It looks like one of those little houses Eritreans were hang around during the war, but I can’t read what the banner says. It’s the Tigray, Amhara and the Eplf flag btw.

Omg💔 Idiots roam around us.

For context the man speaking in the video is an Eritrean bishop his name is Abune Antonios, he was the third Patriarch of the Eritrean Tewahedo Church. Antonios was detained in 2007 without any charges and no official sentence against him, he placed under house arrest after he protested the Eritrean Department of Religious Affairs' interference in his church's affairs. Abune Antonios passed away in 2022. May he rest in peace.
