[QUOTE]Originally posted by 85500: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by KING: Now before I state what I am going to say, Let me say that Ethiopia and Eritrea should not be fighting against each other. [/QUOTE]Ethiopia is addicted to three things: Wars, fictional history (they even claim they were the Ethiopians who ruled ancient Kemet, in addition to their King Solomon and queen of sheba fairytale) and western/eastern aid. 97% of Ethiopia's government budget comes from aid aka hand outs. Eritreans just want to be left alone. We're proud of our African roots. We don't claim we come from a fake king that never existed called solomon. Nor are there 250,000 of our citizens who left our country for Israel, claiming they are a lost jewish tribe, when in reality, they are just Cushitic agaw Ethiopians who have no connection to the middle east as DNA has proven. [QUOTE]Originally posted by KING: These two countries will forever be linked because they are basically the same people. It really is sad that these countries people are still at each others throats after all these years, You would think that they would know that they are playing right into the hands of the elite and there divide and conquer tactics.[/QUOTE]There are 13 ethnic groups in Eritrea and 82 ethnic groups in Ethiopia. Eritreans are as different from one another as they are to Ethiopians. What similarities do you see with these Rashaida-Eritreans with Amhara/Oromo Ethiopians?

While was an Italian protectorate between 1889 and 1896. Then later, Ethiopia lost its 40s years of independence when Italians conquered it and colonized it from 1936 to 1941. In just 6 years, Italians built more infustructure in Ethiopia then both Haile Selassie and Menelik combined. Till this day, the majority of the paved roads in Ethiopia were Italian built from that period. [QUOTE]Originally posted by KING: They did not fight for liberation from Italy, but they were ready to fight Ethiopia. Could the reason be that they were "Okay" with being colonized by Europeans but were fighting mad about Ethiopia colonizing them. [/QUOTE]Eritreans did fight Italians but guess what, It was the Ethiopians who assisted the Italians in helping them quell the Eritrean uprising. But don't take my word for it, here are sources. During this time, a few Eritrean chiefs did welcome the Italian occupation. The bitter wars with Tigray warlords who were armed and supplied by the British, and the savagery shown by Alula during his brief occupation of the Eritrean highlands was enough evidence for them to welcome the lessor of two evils. In addition to that, an epic famine of biblical proportion was going on. However, there were other leaders who demanded complete independence of Medri Bahri/Eritrea and to end the infant Italian occupation. Some of those Medri Bahri leaders was Lij Beyene and Bahta Hagos. They started a small uprising in the Eritrean highlands from Italian rule. Bahta Hagos and Lij Beyene had limited amount of weapons, so they put their bitter differences aside with the Tigrayan-Ethiopians and asked the Tigrayan leader of Alula and Yohannes' son of Mengesha for weapons and ammunition to sustain the uprising in Eritrea. However, instead of giving them some of their British supplied weapons, they used them as political tool to make a last ditch effort to win the hearts of the Italians. They incarcerated the Eritrean rebels and sent them to the Italians, hoping to be rewarded for their loyalty to Italy. " [i] the anti-Italian Lij Beyene for a meeting (Mr Hagai spelled it as Bayyana) and treacherously imprisoned him in the hope of getting a favor from General Baratieri who was then visiting Seraye at that time. Word got out to the castle of Ras Mengesha who was then in Mekele, and not to be outdone by Alula's contact to Baratieri, Mengesha and Ras Hagos came running to Adwa. Upon their arrival, Mengesha ordered Alula to hand over Lij Beyene to the Italians. Alula fearing that the Italians will give credit to Mengesha and not him, he refused the hand over. In response to Alula's refusal, Mengesha sent Ras Hagos with an armed escort to Alula's camp, where they took custody of the rebel and delivered him to the Italians.[/i]" See, Ethiopia and Eritrea During the Scramble for Africa By Ḥagai Erlikh, Page 180 SOURCE: http://tinyurl.com/q7nhbo After the Eritrean rebel leaders were captured, thanks to their loyal Ethiopian puppets, they were able to control Eritrea. Mind you, the Italians had superior weapons and the Eritrean people were not unified. In addition to that, Eritrea's population at the time was only 300,000 and the Italians sent in 35,000 men with modern weapons. [/QB][/QUOTE]
