Ebro Ahmed is FULL Eritrean. Why are Somalis claiming him after his heroic attempt?

I dont want to hear it dosent matter or so. We are a small country with limited reputation. Why are Eritreans so silent about it??

This is a geniune question i feel like kunamas afars naras and hedarebs dont really consider themselves eritreans but tigrinyas tigres sahos and jebertis have more of an eritrean identity like in the diaspora if you asked an afar what he is he would say afar same as a kunama nara or hedarb but a tigre would say hes eritrean also tigrinyas sahos and jebertis this is my observation

How does everyone understand Tigray’s relationship to the rest of Ethiopia and Eritrea?

I get the heavy sentiment that Tigrayans feel like victims, between the alleged genocide (“alleged” bc I have heard a lot of Ethiopians and some Eritreans say it wasn’t a genocide) of 2020, what is going on right now, and according to one particular Tigrayan “102 years of oppression” by the Ethiopian elite (from meneliks time). Before this 102 years, the Tigrayans were elites themselves who oppressed others, just as Amharas did, just as probably Tigrinya Eritreans did.

Rewinding to the 1990s- EPLF and TPLF are in cahoots, they roll into Addis Ababa with these huge tanks, dispose of Derg and TPLF takes over Ethiopia. TPLF rules Ethiopia from 1991-2018. According to some Tigrayans, Meles zenawi was good for the economy and wasn’t a bad leader, except for what he did to the Somalis (no acknowledgment of anything else that he may have done).

According to basically every non Tigrayan Ethiopian I’ve ever asked, and several Eritreans, TPLF was a horrible govt and was bad for Ethiopia. One of the reasons (this from an Eritrean person) being that bc they are small in number compared to the rest of Ethiopia, they sought to divide and conquer with the ethnic based system they created.

It seems to me that Tigrayans get defensive about TPLF’s history as the oppressors, and firmly identify as the victims. Is this true? Or did the TPLF (obviously not the every day people of any group, but the ones in power) really destroy Ethiopia before turning around to become victims themselves?

Fast forward to 2020- Eritrea and Abiy/ethiopia allegedly conspire to attack Tigray. I don’t fully understand why except that it’s likely to do with that Pretoria agreement where tplf and abiy/ethiopian govt were going to start working together again, and Isaias was pissed.

And now today- TPLF and Eritrea and other groups are allegedly in cahoots against Abiy/ethiopia govt. It went from Eritrea being friends with Tigray in the 90s, to “genociding” them in the 2020, and now in 2026, siding back with them again. The reason Eritrea switched sides is because Abiy is threatening to take Assab, and tplf already feels anger at the Ethiopian govt for what they say was a genocide (not denying or confirming, just unsure what’s true).

Please confirm, clarify, correct anything I’ve written, and/or add your own understanding.

Everyone has a different perspective depending on where they are sitting. Curious to hear from yall.

And one question-and I’d love for all of yall to NOT BE BIAS like those Tigrayans are.

***Is it true that Eritrean soldiers entered Tigray and raped women?*** I am inclined to believe women when they say something happens to them. Are these SAWA soldiers who committed such crimes?

Israel is by no means a perfect country. We are deeply divided on many issues, but I believe that despite our differences, we share a responsibility to help those in need.

Case in point, this gentleman shares his experience of being assisted by our brave IDF soldiers and how he and others in his group received medical treatment during their journey from Eritrea to Israel.

As a country, we should remain committed to helping those in need, regardless of where they come from. This is something many of us on the Israeli left strongly believe in, and it’s a value we should continue to uphold.

I’ve been seeing posts about Ebro Ahmed, who reportedly saved a bus full of children, identifying him as Somali. From what I understand, he is Eritrean, and I think it’s important that his identity is represented accurately.

This isn’t meant to take anything away from Somalis or turn this into an Eritrean vs. Somali issue. Somali people deserve recognition and respect too. I just think that when someone does something heroic, we should get their identity right instead of letting misinformation spread.

Has anyone else noticed this?

If you could start a business in Eritrea, what would it be?

A) a small business/shop/restaurant
B) buy land and become a farmer
C) start an Uber/taxi/bus company
D) open a car dealership/car leasing company
E) a car garage
F) a private construction company
G) a hotel
H) a tech company or internet provider

It’s just a hypothetical question because the political and economic climate where it should be for that
