[QUOTE]Originally posted by Madote: [QB] Did you just say Eritreans and Ethiopians are the Same people? Son, do you not understand how many ethnic groups Ethiopia has? Here's a hint, they have well over 82 different ethnic groups, while Eritrea has 9. These different ethnic groups don't become magically the same people just because you're speaking from a national point of view. How is Mursi people of Ethiopia the same as a Rashaida of Eritrea? Or a Tigrinya Eritrean the same as an Oromo? Eritrea as a Nation State is older than Ethiopia. Intrestingly enough, the oldest evidence illustrating geez comes from Eritrea, therefore, how can you say it's an Ethiopian language, when the oldest traces of it has been found in Eritrea? Besides that, Tigre is the closest form of it still being spoken and this language is spoken in Eritrea but not in Ethiopia. Nation-States in modern Africa appeared only after World War II. Besides, it was always an exaggeration to say that Abyssinia was more than a geographic term for an Area inhabited by a mosaic of ethnic groups ruled by Degesmatchs and Rasses some times calling themselves kings and perpetually waging wars of pillaging and plundering on each other like any war lord realm. The description by the Scotsman James Bruce of Abyssinia of the 18th century is evidence to this and a showcase that the states we are speaking now about are a different type of Nations, the Nation State an invention of the great French Revolution. Eritrea's independence from Ethiopia came in 1991, it became "legal" in 1993. Ethiopia's independence from the Italians was in 1941, it became legal once the British left shortly afterwards. The Idea of Eritrea having no history all while it being home to some of the oldest traces of historical significance in the horn is purely based on fabrications and desires to be ignorant. The people of Eritrea come from many different kingdoms and empires, they were glued togther by the Italians yes it's true but name one African country that hasn't had it's borders impacted by European/Western powers? NONE. (to save you trouble (and me time), don't say Ethiopia, it's a trap) The cultrual divergences you speak of are centuries old. The horn is home to countless of bloody wars, invasions and outside influences. Ehnic groups split and fuse toghter all the time, there's no reason to make Eritrean ethnic groups the exception to the rule. [/QB][/QUOTE]
