I used to be an avid supporter of the Eritrean government because Ethiopia was illegally occupying our land (Badme), and it was difficult to continue as a nation when war could break out at any moment. At that time, I genuinely believed the government was taking extreme measures to ensure the survival of the nation. I went to Eritrea in 2022 during the midst of the Tigray war. During that time, I talked to many family members and strangers and there was a sense of hope. The notion I was getting from everyone was that after this war, we'll have our land back , weyane will be no longer be a threat, and there will be change. When I went back this past year , I was dissapointed. There was no change and it seems like conditions are the same or even worse. I understand that Ethiopia is threatening to take our ports but we can't continue to halt all development and domestic issues to prevent external threats. I feel the government has become content with under-delivering to its people and making false promises

So anyone who knows anything about bilen peopole and thier culture and history i would gladly want to know more.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the current state of the Tigre language and how much Arabic influence it has absorbed over time. It’s well known that Tigre has borrowed a lot of Arabic vocabulary—some estimates say up to 35-40% of the lexicon.

Historically, Tigre and Tigrinya were more mutually intelligible, but with the heavy Arabic influence, that gap has widened. Arabic dominates religious life, but it’s also creeping into daily conversation, education, and even administrative functions. In urban areas, many people mix Arabic so much that it’s hard to tell where Tigre ends and Arabic begins. I happen to understand both Tigrinya and Arabic and it seems like they are speaking Tigrinya but then they start speaking a string of Arabic out of nowhere.

I know Tigre still maintains its core original grammar, but if this trend continues, it will eventually shift further toward Arabic. Should there be an effort to preserve the Tigre language and hopefully have steps to make Tigrinya and Tigre more mutually intelligible, as that would benefit Eritrea not only economically but also socially?

Curious to hear what others think—especially those who are Tigre.

##dont read this if you is a delicate flower with a fragile bloom.. ye been WARNED!

Lets establish the facts first. This sub is anti brigade nhamedu and most of you know little about life under hgdef. On the other hand, most BN members have felt the wrath of hgdef.

The problem with that is most of you can't comprehend the utter devastation hgdef is doing to eritrea. 1. Destruction of the nuclear family - I would say half of babies born after the initiation of Sawa are out of wedlock. 2. Insecure society - unaccountable leaders -> fear of government -> obedience -> malleable society -> no future. I can write a library full of books of the damage hgdef did to the country.

BN - people don't like BN because they can't dance in the festivals. Hgdef's crimes are beyond comprehension but hidden from sight. If people can look beyond what they see, BN are angels compared to hgdef. Also, every process has a stage of progression - the festival mayhem was initiation. Now BN has your attention -> its time to get serious and prepare for governance.

“Animal Farm” is an excellent book by George Orwell. Has anyone recognized the similarities between “Animal Farm” and the betrayal of Eritrea by Isaias Afewerki & PFDJ? If you haven’t read the book, I highly recommend it, or the film “Animal Farm”, which is available on Amazon Prime Video.

I have seen some videos of some people who posted, news about the bnh and the afar resistance teaming up to start an armed struggle against eritrean regime, let me tell you something first I'm not a supporter of the hegdef regime nor bnh or the afar, and I am against their armed struggle as much as I want a new democratic government to be in Eritrea. Let me explain why I'm against it, the horn of Africa is a war torn region from failed state Somalia, war torn Sudan and Ethiopia the country who is called the Yugoslavia of Africa because of the on going civil war, so pretty much our neighbors are consistently in war, the only stable country when it comes to internal peace is our country eritrea. So if bnh and afar get support of supplies from the Ethiopian government to invade Eritrea, it will destabilize thousands of people it will cause the death of thousands, Many women will be raped and the tragedy that happened in tigray will repeat in Eritrea, Ethiopia and other neighboring countrys might use this Chance to invade more of our land and it will be messy and the horn of Africa will be even more war torn. Now I don't believe that the bnh or the afar rebels have any chances against the well equipped and well trained Eritrean army, but in the contrary they will be crushed by the new Eritrean drones. But even so it will be messy and will coast thousands of lives.

Does anyone know the start date of the Asmara expo for 2025? Is 10 august the right date?

I see many of you are hating on BNH. Many of you are hypocrites.

1. When we were targeting the PFDJ diasporas, you were saying “why don’t you go down there and fight the regime?”. Then when we were finished with PFDJ here in the west, we went to adiss to make allies in order to fight the dictatorial regime. Now you are crying about it. Here is your hypocrisy.

2. when the regime was allied with the Ethiopian government not long ago to commit genocide in Tigray, you were waving the Ethiopian flag, claiming that Eritreans and Ethiopians are brothers and sisters. Now BNH is making allies with Tigray and they are sellouts.

I have realised now many of you are kids born outside of Eritrea and doesn’t know so much about Eritrea. You have to understand deeply how PFDJ is destroying our people and the country’s history. I am BNH cos I believe we will get our people free from the dictator. If you don’t believe in BNH’s methods feel free to start your own Revolution and don’t whine about BNH, cos BNH doesn’t care about you at all, we are our brothers keepers and WE WILL FREE OUR ERITREA.

I know I am gonna get many haters but I don’t care about you bitchs.

BNH will win. All my BNH brothers and sisters I salute you and respect you for the sucrifices you are making to your people.

If I’m Launching my own Isais coin how many of y’all would invest in it hypothetically speak in.

What do Eritreans think about Somalis btw. I lowkey love your country coz I got few friends from there. Also wouldn’t mind marrying an Eritrean(that shows how much I rate ur culture) but most Eritreans are Christians tho my friends are muslims

Also do u guys hate Ethiopia too
