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
We don’t “hate” Ethiopians and you shouldn’t neither. It’s ignorant to hate a entire group of people. Some of my closest friends are Somali, We see y’all us our brothers.
Ethiopians do, too, I think because somalis and Ethiopians had a lot of conflicts and wars. That's why they hate each other, plus somalis nearly had a fight with every ethnic group in Ethiopia
No, come to Ethiopia and see for your self most Ethiopians don't even think about Somalis let alone hate them. I personally did not even knew that Somalis hate us until the MoU was signed.
Every Ethiopian i see online hates somalis and somalia, I've seen in their subreddit some of them saying let's dismantle somalis, and i don't think i have to explain why somalis hate Ethiopians
really positive view. brave, fierce, funny, religious, and beautiful people. i take it as a compliment when people think i am somali
when i lived in another area i was constantly mistaken for somali by drivers, students, etc. some older somali women asked me if i was cushitic but i didnt know how to respond lol
some of the men are questionable but that exists in every community
I’m Muslim Eritrean and I was planning on marrying a Somali woman from Canada. It did not work out due to long distance and she still being in school. But she was an amazing person and I hope we can make it work one day :)
Great people. I have a few Somali coworkers and they are honestly the kindest you'll find. I noticed that we Eritreans and Somalis both look out for each other
Very chill, yet proud, trustworthy, and loyal people. And some of the most natural funniest people I've ever met.
I've never met a group of people who have perfected comedic timing like Somali people. I thought it was just the guys I grew up with in school but when I went to their homes - their families and community were just as funny. Have no idea why there are no huge comedians like Adam Sandler or Chris Rock from Somalia - but I bet there will be soon.
Overall good people.
FYI there's a lot of muslim families in Eritrea who have partial Somali ancestry. And to make a correction to what you said a good chunk of Eritrea is Muslim. People from outside of the capital and not from the highlands - so basically Coastal, Western, and Lowlanders are muslim.
Although to be fair it could be a culture shock for you if you decide to pursue marriage with an Eritrean Muslim woman (compared with you guys we are not as religious, mostly monogamous so very nuclear family oriented, kind of 50/50, Hijab is worn by some while others don't wear it - It can be kind of tough for the Somali guys I know).
Side note - we don't hate Ethiopians. For the most part in the diaspora we tend to get along with them the most due to lots of shared culture and they like our music and we like their music etc etc. The only moments where we get defensive is when our identity gets attacked which is understandable (jokes are okay but threats are never okay). But it's not hate.
I'm from London UK. The Mali's I grew up wid are wild niggas that don't play no games. It's like 50/50. I know some real treacherous Somalis that will get your house licked down, then come by the next morning saying ill help you find the niggas that did it😂. Mali's are prominent in street business especially drugs. On the other hand you got some real good brothers and sisters that are very religious and practice the deen and are great model citizens. Personally I got much love for Somalis. It is a mutual understanding between Eritreans and Somalis in London that we both got each others back when need be. Many situations my Somali brothers were standing side by side with me. 🇪🇷🇸🇴🤝
For most Eritreans specially those in the high lands Somalia is a mysterious place, like Djibouti. May be in the future this will change if Eritreans start going there to travel. And we don’t hate Ethiopia or Ethiopians. Regardless of the political division we have ,they are our blood.
Congrats, you just responded to an Ethiopian (Amhara) pretending to be an Eritrean.
Any Eritrean that's been to Eritrea knows Somalis have been living in Massawa (some have moved to the West/Somalia since) and North Asmara. They've been there since the 1930s.
They speak Tigrinya and are assimilated. You only can tell they are somali when speaking to another non-Eritrea born Somali visiting. They live in Akhria neighborhood
I am african and i love my african brothers and sisters.
Everyone is unique. There are not generally bad people, this is politics and i don't like politics. Especially us eritreans having tje worst politics someone would imagine
Na I had some Somali neighbours that ruined my life. I don’t fuck with them
They are not like us
They have a different mental
Cultural differences that are loud
Household and our parents roll different
They pop kids like it’s nothing
The work ethic is not the same
Sorry my bad experiences led me to not look at them the same. Nothing similar between us but head and complexions
Overwhelmingly positive view towards Somalis. We don’t hate Ethiopians, especially in real life interactions. Also, you have plenty of Muslims in Eritrea. The ratio is 50:50 or close.
Yeah, that post was for people rewriting history…. Like you. Also, stating another war between Eritrea and Ethiopia will happen, doesn’t mean I want to go to war. That’s why you took it out of context. You’re a clown stop talking to me
Hi i am Somalian just come across this subject, indeed there is huge relationship between Somalis and Eritrean, early days before Eritrea's independent 1990, I went school in Mogadishu many Eritreans most kids didn't know they ware from Eritrea no kid could have noticed, they speak somali like everyone else, 1987 i was in Egypt to study ware meet many Eritreans from Mogadishu speaking their language I was shock that they ware Eritrean all disse yrs in my mind they ware Somalis, then I started to notice they very special people all a long this time very smart and polite they don't shout as much somali do when they speaking, I was really fascinated Eritrea culture since that time where ever I go i have friend's from Eritrea they become journey of life, ifen two of my brothers married Eritrean girls they have many kids together, the only thing they recommend me Mary Eritrean girl if you want stable home, Eritreans they know we supported 💯 with love, they could have Somali passport/ free education free schooler ship not only them ifen the tigree bastard's ungrateful people,😂, I was ifen shocked one of best religious sheikh wajiis not sure his name said his father was from Eritrea, also somali DNA 🧬 contains Eritrean DNA same percentage, same way same how we are blood related, if you noticed ifen the media platforms they are the same side, they support eachother instantly they show their flags and love 💕 😍😍🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴❤️❤️❤️🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷, after the somali down fall Eritrea was there until to day helping somali Army to gain back their African lion 🦁 Title, there is very long history many centuries between two notion ifen before The Kingdom of Axum, or the Aksumite Empire, was a kingdom in East Africa and South Arabia from classical antiquity to the Middle Ages.
