@Sharronyemane According to the U.S. State Department, the demographic breakdown of the population is as follows: Tigrinya 50%, Tigre 31.4%, Saho 5%, Afar 5%, Beja 2.5%, Bilen 2.1%, Kunama 2%, Nara 1.5%, and Rashaida 0.5%. Collectively, the Tigrinya and Tigre—who are the indigenous Ge’ez or Agazian nation—account for 81.4% of the population.
However, the accuracy of these figures is disputed. Using the average annual growth rate derived from six consecutive Italian censuses conducted between 1905 and 1939, our statistics team projected the growth rates for both the Tigrinya population and the various nomadic tribal and clan minorities.
The results of these projections up to the year 2005 indicate the following distribution: Tigrinya 77%, Tigre 6%, Beja 3%, Bilen 4%, Saho 3%, Nara 1%, Kunama 1%, and Afar 5%. Under these projections, the Ge’ez or Agazian demographic accounts for 83% of the population.
A new Agazian news poll finds 9 out of 10 members of the Tigrinya diaspora disapprove of the dictator's visit to Egypt. Their attention is fixed entirely on the airport scene and the absence of a national fleet, which they view as a source of collective humiliation.

Iran fired 11 ballistic missiles at Israel today. Each one of those missiles can level an entire neighborhood and kill hundreds. No self-respecting country in the world would tolerate such an attack, and neither will Israel.
Israel is now targeting Iranian surface-to-surface missile launch sites, as well as infrastructure facilities unrelated to the energy sector.
The people of Lebanon have rejected Iran’s proxy, Hizballah, and have told Iran to get out of their country.
If Hizballah fires at Israel, its command centers in the Dahiya will be hit hard.
This has nothing to do with Iran.
Everyone has had enough of this maniacal Iranian regime.
In @CondoleezzaRice, Israel & the U.S. may have already achieved key strategic goals in Iran by degrading its military & regional capabilities. https://t.co/UkhAB7d8gO via @WSJopinion
The Eritrean dictator’s aggressive campaign to undermine Somaliland’s independence in the name of defending “sovereignty” and “territorial integrity” is a masterclass in hypocrisy.
The irony is staggering: this dictator is the last person on earth to defend “sovereignty,” “territorial integrity,” or “international law.”
He is the first dictator to have sent his foreign minister to Crimea after its annexation by Russia in 2014, and Eritrea is the only African country to have voted against the UN condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
The dictator’s UN representative had the audacity to claim:
“The 2024 Memorandum of Understanding b/n Ethiopia & Somaliland further heightened tensions, particularly as Somalia formally rejected the arrangement as an infringement upon its sovereignty and territorial integrity. These developments underscore precisely why questions of maritime access in the Horn cannot be divorced from wider legal and security considerations.”

#Eritrea responds clarifying its stance on international law, sovereignty, and national security, shaped by its liberation struggle & tensions with #Ethiopia, while emphasizing the need for respect of sovereignty & int'l law for regional stability.

Tsimdo is an assault on Ethiopia’s sovereignty—a brazen, destabilizing campaign orchestrated by the Eritrean dictator to arm, fund, & weaponize rogue factions like the TPLF dissidents, the Amhara Fano militia & others, all with the singular, ruthless objective of toppling Abiy Ahmed. Tsimdo is no longer contained within Ethiopia’s borders; it is metastasizing across the Horn of Africa, shamelessly weaponizing radical proxies—from the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan to Al-Shabaab in Somalia—while actively threatening Somaliland. https://t.co/FP8SpnYODK
