r/Eritrea

Hey - hope it's ok to ask this here. Could anyone tell me what language these people are speaking and (roughly) what they are saying? >> https://youtu.be/Hb-ItQd8DVY

It’s so funny that these people are trying to mock us when they literally faced the same thing. 😭😭😭

One one of the three (south africa, guinea and Eritrea) can qualify because kenya as host is automatically qualified

This is from the post/comment I did on why Eritrea should have stayed I did thru other account u/Agreeable_Pomelo9662

Can I hear a rebuttal I don’t wanna hear f u im Eritrean give me actual reasons please!

It’s funny every time I hop on the Ethiopia subreddit, day and night I see expansionists blaming the TPLF for “giving” Assab to Eritrea, as if Assab were some sort of candy. Nothing was given to Eritrea. Every inch of Eritrean land was earned through the blood and sweat of its children. Happy Independence Day. My fellow Eritreans, keep your heads up regardless of our current situation, soon things will get better.

The image shows Isaias Afewerki alongside his paternal uncle Dejazmatch Solomon Abraha - the former governer of Wollo. His mother Adanech Berhe, who comes from Adwa, was known to have owned a Mies House (a traditional drink in Eritrea). His roots are strange, being related to Ethiopian royalty via Haxey Yohannes IV. His father, Afwerki Abraha, was a known friend of the previous emperor Haile Selassie and his uncle was known to have ordered assassination attempts on Woldeab Woldemariam. His family were staunch unionists and according to historians he had surprised many people by joining the ELF in 1966 with such a famous family. During the struggle, Isaias was known to have entered Asmara many times with recorded meetings with his imperial family and the CIA working as a spy for Ethiopia. When Shabiya were going through some of the toughest battles, he was abroad in London visiting the sick ex-prince who governed Eritrea - Leul Ras Aserate Kassa. His presidency has also been nothing short of these things - in 1993 he said 'Why not!' to uniting with Ethiopia saying that it may take decades but he would work towards it. Since then, he has systematically managed to destroy the country economically, societally and morally. The morals of Eritreans who are simply content with supporting Isaias and not being able to question him. The people who have not seen daylight for almost a quarter of a century who have not even been seen in a court. The morals of being taught to hate and scapegoat Tigrayans and Weyane for Eritrea's issues. Eritrea's society is that of a people who are fleeing every day - families who have had 5,6,7 + children are left with none. Economically, just listen to Isaias' interviews where he calls the economic projects he started as having been failures and embarrassing to talk about with some areas looking like a place were deki Hidrtna (ghosts) would hang out. He says Massawa used to be the pearl of the Red Sea and now it ceases to be. He talks about how the industries that existed during the era under Ethiopia couldn't even be maintained and now cease to exist. His aim as president seems to fundamentally be to destroy Eritrea and from there fulfil the dreams of his forefathers.

Accountability for everyone. God be with all victims.

This might be a long shot. But I saw this house in Eritrea. There are tons of these houses in the middle of nowhere. The locals say they were built by the italians but no one seems to know for what purpose.

Some of them have small areas for water on the ground but everybody here seems to wonder what they were built for.

If anyone knows any subreddits that this might be more fitting for please let me know.

We would love to learn what they are for

Accountability for everyone. God be with all victims.
