The Eritreans liberation font fought against their own ethnic group who happen to be in power in Ethiopia. That not ethnic pride, thats self destruction.

And Yorubas watch other Yorubas die as they line their pockets
Did the Yoruba create their own state even when their own ethnic group was in power in Nigeria and in the process fukking up both the country and the newly independent regions economy, leading to the deaths of millions by famine and war.
No but the Igbo and Hausa have tried
Maybe more Eritreans and Ethiopians on thecoli should post more pics on their countries....
Check out a thread I did last year on Eritea's Isolation, it's more complex than that.
Black smoke and cac jokes
Your daps are mine

you're right but it was in the title so I thought there would be some pics in the OP.
Other than that, this thread got political real quick so pictures won't add much to the conversation anyways
Edit: we fought Amhar people not Tigrinya or Tigre so why would you say that we fought our own ethnic group?
That was just off the top to answer his question... I wasn't looking to get into it like that becuae these type of discussions always deteriorate into endless arguments that end up making everyone involved look foolish.
Can you post the link to the thread?
lol, I met Dr. Bereket Selassie at my job. I'm disappointed I didn't get a chance to talk to him about the Ethiopia/Eritrea subject since he's an expert. But it's a very complicated story. The relationship between Ethiopia and what is now Eritrea goes back to Axum. There was no Axum without one or the other so that is one of our foremost bonds. The thing is, Eritrea has always been a region that's been contested by other nations so there were times when we were together as one and other times that Eritrea was under other rule or under self rule. We share some languages and ethnic groups, and for the most part our histories are very much intertwined, but a lot of things happened between colonization and now for things to be the way they are. At times it's awkward, especially if you're ancestry is from both sides like mine. But it would take a lot for any substantial change to happen in the relationship.
I thought the Eritrean government fought the meles zenawis regime which is Tigrinya in the ethio-Eritrea war.
Anyway after reading a few books on the conflict I see the legitimacy of the Eritrean cause. I just find it difficult to understand as someone with tigray, Amhara and harari blood, I've always felt unity was better. Maybe the wounds of the past is too deep to heal.
I'll delete the political comments..this thread shouldn't be about politics.

We did but that was for less than a year after a 35 year old war...
Yea man, I think most people in both countries wouldn't want an ongoing conflict but it's politics so not much that can be done. At least with this president.
keep reading up on your history then breh
No but I've had many conversations with Habeshas and read up on Ethiopia and Eritea. Beautiful culture and people. Not to forget the amazing history.
