I was explaining to this Ethiopian guy how Eritrea and its coastline had been separate entities from Ethiopia for many years. Eritrea was colonized by the Ottomans, Egypt, and later, for over 50 years, by Italy, the British, and then Ethiopia (1952–1991). He thought the whole story was BS and that the only reason Eritrea is independent is because of Isaias. WTF 😂
I showed him this quote, and he said it was AI-generated 😂. It really makes you wonder how much the Ethiopian general public actually knows about the history of Eritrea and Ethiopia lol. This man is in his mids 40s and he's very educated. I wonder what Ethiopia are being taught about both countries history back in Ethiopia

Has anyone noticed PTSD/trauma from the older generations of Eritreans who lived through Derg? And for that matter, has anyone noticed PTSD/trauma of the older Eritreans who fought in the war?

I mainly know amiches, any family I have that grew up in Eritrea during the war are either dead or distant relatives. Curious to know other people’s observations. Habeshas, especially the older generation, don’t take mental health stuff serious but has any one else noticed the older generation has some trauma from what they experienced?

This is the kind of treatment you get when you become nothing more than a useless puppet serving American and its allies’ imperialist interests. While genuine revolutionaries who challenged Western imperialism, people like Che Guevara and Patrice Lumumba, were hunted down and assassinated, those who served the interests of the West were protected and empowered when convenient.
So it’s no surprise that his so called allies abandoned him the moment Mengistu arrested him. A puppet has value only as long as it serves its masters. Once it is no longer useful, it gets discarded. That is the reality of being a political instrument of foreign powers.
