Two minutes history , way to go.

[Asmarino]

Learn your history my Ere people. Don't be like those who pretend to know, but only one thing and at that the wrong thing and keep repeating it thinking it would happen, but of course something that is not true can't happen just because you keep repeating it. And the thing they keep repeating and wish it to happen is Eritrea some how to be part of Ethiopia.

Nara
The Nara live in the western slopes and Barka plains. Like their neighbors, the kunama, with whom they share some customs, the Nara are mainly sedentary farmers with a marked interest in cattle. However, their matrilineal family structure was transformed into a patrilineal one-and their traditional religion forcibly supplanted by Islam- during the Egyptian occupation of their homelands in the 1850s.
Rashaida
The Rashaida are the country's only ethnic Arabs. Mainly pastoralists and traders, the Rashaida migrated to northeast Africa in the 19th century from the Hejaz. They are Arabic-speaking Muslims, living along the northern coast and along the Sudan border in tightly-knit, patrilineal clans. Rashaida women are noted for their red-and-black patterned dresses and their long heavy veils, often embroidered with silver, beads and seed pearls.
Saho
The Saho inhabit the coast and the hinterland south of Asmera and Massawa and the highlands as far inland as the Hazumo Valley. Most are Muslim. Some are seasonal farmers and herders, though a growing number are sedentary farmers living in the southeastern highlands. Among them are skilled beekeepers, widely known for their high quality honey. The Saho live in patrilineal descent groups, each of which has a traditional warrior leader, the rezanto, who is accountable to an all-male public assembly.
Tigre
The mostly Muslim Tigre people extend from the western lowlands across the northern mountains to the coastal plains . Most are herders and seasonal farmers, cultivating maize, durra (sorghum) and other cereals during the rainy season before moving with their herds and their families. Household goods, as well as sick or aging family members, are transported long distances by camel and donkey.
The Tigre have a rich oral literature of fairy tales, fables, riddles, poetry and stories of war and supernatural. They are also known for their singing and dancing, which is usually accompanied by a drum and a mesenko (a stringed instrument, plucked like a guitar). Theirs is a highly stratified society traditionally ruled by a hereditary village leader.
Tigrinya
Most Tigrinya-speakers are sedentary farmers living in the densely populated central highlands of Maakel and Debub, though they are spread from this ancestral farmland over much of Eritrea today. The over-whelming majority are Orthodox Christians, though there is a small minority of Muslims, known as Jiberti, and there are signifcant minorities of Catholics and Protestants. Like all Eriterans, they are deeply attached to their land, but Tigrinya-speakers also maki up a large proportion of urban traders and operators of small businesses, restaurants and other services throughout the country.
