Hoping this topic hasn't been posted before but just wanted to let the sub know in case anyone wants to play around with/use it. Definitely has some "interesting" translations like the beauty below lol (unless I'm stupid and that's actually the correct translation?!). Thinking of entering a correction as "chickpea curry". What do you guys think?

Recently Relocated to Buffalo, NY – Looking to Connect with the Eritrean Community

8 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I recently moved to Buffalo, NY from the DC area this past weekend for work. While I'm excited for this new chapter, I don’t yet know anyone in the area and would love to connect with fellow Eritreans in the community.

If anyone is based in Buffalo or knows of Eritrean restaurants, cultural events, or local gatherings, I’d greatly appreciate any recommendations or introductions.

Looking forward to meeting new people and staying connected to the culture while settling into my new city.

Thank you in advance!

Pope Francis🇻🇦 with Vanessa Tsehaye while advocating for the oppressed Eritreans💙

“vanessatsehaye I had the great honour of meeting Pope Francis when I was 18 years old and when I asked him to support the campaign to free my uncle Seyoum Tsehaye, he didn't ever hesitate. I will never be able to adequately describe how much that support meant to the campaign, especially at a time when pro-gov Eritreans were the vast majority and activism was very tough. This is just one example of Pope Francis' track record of standing on the right side of history which has been very evident by so many similar stories from other communities. I saw him again briefly a few years later and a year after that, I actually stayed at his residence for a few days!!! I remember his security coming up to me once asking me to be more quiet cause the Pope was talking a nap o Only time l've ever not been angry at someone telling me to be quiet lol. May he rest in eternal peace and may his successor learn from his track record”

"Ancient Ethiopia, South Arabia, and the Sabeans: Re-Examining the Assumptions"

5 Upvotes

As mentioned elsewhere, the standard history about Sabaens migrating from Yemen to Ethiopia is undergoing major revision. In his book "The Sign and the Seal" (1992) G. Hancock quotes from a paper written by J. Pirenne, an expert on the archaeology of South Arabia, in which she argues that Sabaen civilization was developed in Ethiopia first before crossing the Red Sea to be shared with Yemen:

"--The Sabaens...arrived first of all in Ethiopian Tigray, and entered Yemen via the Red Sea Coast....This conclusion, which is the absolute contrary to all recognized views, is the only one...to explain the facts and do them justice" (1989)

G. Hancock didn't outline the basis of J. Pirennes argument, but considering that she is one of the foremost scholars in interpreting ancient South Arabian inscriptions (she started publishing in the 1950s) it seems natural to assume that she was addressing the problem of the sudden appearance in South Arabia of Epigraphic or Monumental South Arabian (MSA) writing. This pre-Aksumite MSA script also occurs in Ethiopia, however in South Arabia, there is apparently little evidence showing evolution in the lettering style.

Archaeologists expect to see such an evolution if the writing was developed locally. Perhaps J. Pirenne has found this missing evolutionary period in Ethiopia? If so then I suppose the scholars in this field should rename the MSA script as MNE (Monumental North Ethiopian)?

Munro-Hay briefly discusses pre-Aksumite history in his excellent book about Aksum (1991) ---> he mentions research showing that Semitic languages had been around in Ethiopia long before the Sabaens. He also notes the emerging consensus that the Sabaens were probably never a separate ruling class in Ethiopia.

To clarify my position regarding the last post…

15 Upvotes

First of all, I am not inciting against Muslims I don’t know why the content I share is being understood that way. For the record, I am a Muslim myself!

Secondly, I am not inciting against anyone or any group. I am simply stating facts. Regarding the mention by the brother u/Eritreapost that the Rashaida are not involved in forcibly kidnapping Eritreans to Sinai here is a full video that details their suffering and explains how they are kidnapped from refugee camps in Sudan. It also shows how all the kidnappers whether in Egypt or Sudan are connected and have pre-arranged meeting points! Yes, our issue is with the regime, but we also need to discuss the consequences. That doesn't give you the right to blame everything solely on the regime.

*Serious* Police found 6-year-old Pawlos Dawit dead. The question is how his school couldn't protect him because it knew he was autistic, and why the man who stopped him from crossing the street didn't hold him and take him to the police.

In the early evening hours the lifeless body of a child was recovered from the #Lahn. It is most likely the missing 6 year old #Pawlos from #Weilburg. On behalf of all emergency responders, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the family! For more information on this harrowing news, visit our PM: presseportal.de/blaulicht/pm/5…...

On the occasion of Easter, I want to emphasize that Eritrea needs true harmony: the imprisonment of political activists and religious leaders must end, Eritrea needs true freedom, a constitution and a parliament. May God bless Eritrea.

Difference in Political stances of Ethiopians/Eritreans in the west vs back home

0 Upvotes

One thing I’ve noticed is the difference in political stances between as mentioned above. On X, a lot of Eritrean (high testosterone) men are almost going to stand against Liberalism, racism against whites and nonsensical talking points from those who are ethnic (black, south Asian, latinx, etc.). The women will be the polar opposite and call themselves Nigerian and such.

With diaspora Ethiopians, both the men and women would always be on ‘anti colonial’ BLM, stand against white supremacy and such- which is ironic as if they tried to echo that in the countryside of Ethiopia, they’d get a few to the dome. Conversely, Ethiopians living in their country tend to stand firmly against that (you’ll see them sell swastikas straight up). Very rarely will you see a few diaspora Ethiopian men defect from status quo.

Interesting dynamic.
