Tigray,Biher-Tigrayan, and Tigre the war of identities

[Dontcomefome]

So I was so confused for the longest on why the Eritreans were attacking the Tigray of northern Ethiopia looting, and raping them when most Eritreans were said to be Tigray also but that is not the truth you see the Biher-Tigrayans see themselves as a separate ethnic to the southern Tigray, and have always but this is also complicated because the word Tigray means speaker of the Tigre language is also a whole sperate ethnic group who are mostly muslim something the Tigray, and the Biher-Tigrayans aren't these three groups take their languages, and ethnic identity from the ancient tigretes mentioned by the ancient romans.

When Eritrean civilians of the Biher-Tigrinya ethnic group were asked on their feelings of Tigray people, many responded with: "Tigray" or "Agame", (as Eritreans sometimes contemptuously refer to them )— cannot be trusted and never could" (2003, Africa, volume 73, p.377). While one informant, who was an EPLF veteran told professor Richard Reid, how in 1991, upon the winning of Eritrean independence, 'our grandparents' had warned against trying to improve the relationship with Tigray, saying, "Be careful, these people are dangerous, we know them well!"

these elderly Eritreans should've warned somalis too. would've saved us alot of trouble.
