Yes, but why? What's their agenda? One rumour is that they wanted a "greater Tigray" together with Eritreans - we all saw how that worked out. So what's their plan now? I guess it's just money.

I don't understand what you mean.. Who is "my" master? Why would I lick Eritrea's president (eew)? When did I say that "TPLF is to destroy Eritrea"? They are more Pro-Eritrean than Pro-Ethiopian.

Is that why they destroyed Eritrean lives and their country too ? Did you mean they are pro agame?
listen if you are scared its okay. you can say there are very few decent Tigray people and that is okay we know that. but dont be a snake i mean don't be yourself. that is the only reason why we hate you instead of being honest you become a snake we also hate you for being stupid enough to think we dont understand where you are going to. one minute you are nationalist ethioipian who become so much dramatic and so patriotic and when that dose not work you come at the back door and you whisper to us look at this amara's, oromos guragies ..etc etc they will take assab and they want to dominate you. you cant agree with them but we speak the same langauge. and that stinks ! as always we are loyal to honesty to integrity to nobility.

I am really confused. I don't know who you think I am. My parents are Ethiopians (Amhara and Gurage), I don't call me "amhara" or "gurage" - I am simply Ethiopian.

Okay, TPLF is maybe not Pro-Eritrean.. but they sure WAS! How else would you explain that they give a our port. That they jointly with Eritrea destroyed our country.. are we supposed to forgive them now? Derg were assholes but atleast they loved their country.

TPLF is certainly not Pro-Ethiopian with their ethnical based politics.

excuse me ! Eritreans fought for Eritrea. did woyane help shabia that is true we also blame shabia for creating misery when by bringing woyane with them.

but after that i dont know how eritreans are responsile for what happend in Ethiopia. Eritreans were not there for 18 years.

so do we forgive shabia? i cant answer you that. many Eritreans also hate shabia but the fact is i dont have the right to say forgive them, but we trust them 100% what ever they did even if they were wrong they were honest and most importantly they were not corrupted and never sold the interst of their country for the west or for any one. that is why the west is mad at them.

now about the port Mr zeberga,or Mr alamyheu or Mr gbremedhin who ever you are, business kehone metfelegew tesmamteh new michealew you send kocho we send you chew no one said ethiopia can never use the port actually its there for ethiopia. we have more than one port igzyabher yemsegen if people in Ethiopia learn to respect Eritreas territory then everything is easy. if you insist you then are another tplf or sell out or a dim person, uninformed and lost, who needs guidance from other smart Ethiopians.

note :- when I say Eritrea’s territory it includes assab.

Mesmamat mutufelug kehone asebun ale qeret metekem mechal alebun, Isayas eshi mil yemusuluhal onum 80% tax now miaskereten..

If you want to get a long, you will have to let us ATLEAST use the port freely, tax free. Do you think Isayas will acecept that or put 80% tax on everything?

Aseb is far away from any major city in Eritrea and like you said, you have several ports. Don't you agree that letting us operate little [for you] useless port in exchange for everlasting PEACE? No one wants Eritrea back, it's only about Aseb.

i know no one wants Eritrea and that a good news for people back home :-) and Its not for to decide that.and the matter is not as little as tax conflicts i am sure there are many many other things to consider security poltical arrangments is one of um and I am confident that both countries have enough experts that can create perfect system that lead the nations to the right path and iam also confident they are capable of creating fair agreements that makes every one happy. God willing!

Assab belongs to Ethiopia. For Eritreans to live in peace with Ethiopians they must give back what they took by force and that is port Assab.

look ethiopkid , this little foolish 'anseba' is trying to be politician . we will retake asseb in the near future , it is not at the will of the anseba/hamasien but at the will of the afar ppl.
for sure the young ethiopian will take the power in the next five yrs and for sure all the youngs need asseb like them in TPLF , EPRDF or in the oppsition. we all need asseb but we first starve them the foolish anseba.
lastly it is easily can be retake by supporting read sea afar front.
