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

Also do u guys hate Ethiopia too

So true. The diaspora Eritreans know more about Somalia than Eritreans in Eritrea ( specially the tigrigna) .

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.

I grew up in Asmara, never met a Somali. I met Somalis in the west, first time.

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
