Tigray-Tigrinya people
The Tigray-Tigrinya people (ትግራይ - ትግርኛ) are an ethnic group inhabiting the southern and central parts of Eritrea and the northern highlands of Ethiopia's Tigray Region. Prior to 1995, they lived in Ethiopia's former provinces of Tigray, Begemder (Gonder), and Wollo, with the regions within these provinces that they inhabited (e.g. Wolqayt, Tsegede, Tselemti, Raya, Humera) later incorporated into the modern Tigray Region. The Tigray people, eponymous with the name of their territory, make up approximately 96.6% of the inhabitants of the Tigray Region, and comprise 6.1% of Ethiopia's total population, numbering a little over 5.7 million. Group members in Eritrea are known by the name of their language, Tigrinya, and they constitute around 50% of the population, at about 3.4 million people. They primarily live in a region of Eritrea known as the Kebessa, contained within the former awrajas of Hamasien, Seraye, and Akele Guzay, these later incorporated into Eritrea's present-day regions. The Tigray-Tigrinya speak Tigrinya, an Afro-Asiatic language belonging to the family's Semitic branch. Members from this ethnic group today form the dominant political force in both Ethiopia and Eritrea.

Ethiopia Tigray Conflict & Famine Explained: Eritrea, Abiy Ahmed, War Crimes & Latest News
How do you go from winning a Nobel Peace Prize to being accused of horrific war crimes in just two years? That's the situation facing Ethiopian Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed. For months, Ethiopia has been in the middle of a violent civil war with the Tigrayan people; an ethnic group that lives in the country's north. As many as 50,000 people are said to have died, which, if true, is more than any conflict anywhere in the world in 2021. Abby's government is being accused of committing war crimes and putting millions of its own citizens at risk of dying from starvation and the United Nations has just announced that more than 400,000 Ethiopians are currently experiencing famine, So, how did it go from a Nobel Peace Prize to this?

How do you go from winning a Nobel Peace Prize to being accused of horrific war crimes in just two years? That's the situation facing Ethiopian Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed. For months, Ethiopia has been in the middle of a violent civil war with the Tigrayan people; an ethnic group that lives in the country's north. As many as 50,000 people are said to have died, which, if true, is more than any conflict anywhere in the world in 2021.
Abby's government is being accused of committing war crimes and putting millions of its own citizens at risk of dying from starvation and the United Nations has just announced that more than 400,000 Ethiopians are currently experiencing famine,
So, how did it go from a Nobel Peace Prize to this? To answer that question, we need to take a closer look at the rise of Abiy, as well as the four stages of Ethiopia's recent leadership. Ethiopia is a diverse country with distinct regions and lots of different ethnic groups, like the Tigrayans. That's because for centuries, right up until the 1970s, Ethiopia was actually an empire ruled by an emperor. After the fall of the empire and years of civil war and Communist dictatorship under Mengistu, Eritrea declared independence and the TPLF went on to rule Ethiopia with the EPRDF for almost 30 years .
The man the government chose to eventually replace the outgoing Prime Minister was Abiy Ahmed. Abiy was seen as a young and dynamic politician and often spoke of peace, reconciliation and unity.
Abiy's most well-known act, however, was reaching out to Eritrea and ending the war that had been going on for decades. This is how he won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Things seemed like that were going well for Ethiopia and that they were finally moving away from years and years of authoritarian rule. But inside the country, conflicts between ethnic groups were flaring up. Abiy responded to all of this by going back to some of the methods used by those before him.
Then came COVID.
Like many other nations, Ethiopia decided to postpone its elections. Opponents accused Abiy of using the pandemic as an excuse and said that he didn't want to face an election. The Tigrayans went one step further and defied the government by holding their own elections the following month. What followed were reports of the Ethiopian government mobilising its military and in the early hours of November 4th, while the rest of the world was watching the US election, Abiy issued a statement that the Tigrayans had attacked a military base and that they'd be forced to respond with military action.
The two sides were now at war. Although Abiy and his government refused to refer to the situation as a war. In the early stages, it was referred to as a 'law and order operation' against politicians who had to defied the government and needed to be brought to justice. Abby also said it would be over in weeks and would be entirely bloodless. After a while it became clear that both of those statements weren't true.
Details started to trickle out eventually, with more than 60,000 Tigrayans fleeing across the border into Sudan.
They came with stories of not just fighting between the military and militias, but of massacres of civilians and widespread sexual violence.
There have also been signs of widespread hunger across Tigray, a place that's already vulnerable to food shortages.
The United Nations says that all sides of the conflict have been carrying out atrocities, but that the vast majority have been perpetrated by the Ethiopian military and its allies. That brings us to a key point. The Ethiopian military hasn't been acting alone. Abiy allied with the Eritrean military to attack his own people, something that government denied at first. Eritrea is led by President Isaias Afwerki.
Internationally, there has been a huge amount of pressure on Abiy to stop the fighting and to send the Eritreans home. Now, it seems as if the Eritrean military are finally starting to pull out and the Ethiopian government did recently announce a ceasefire. However, it was rejected by the TPLF, who said that they won't stop fighting until all enemy troops have left the region. Experts fear the fighting will continue to spread and millions more are at risk of dying from starvation if regions in Tigray continue to be cut off from food aid and essential services. The Ethiopian government continues to deny that this is happening even though there have been reports of trucks with aid being held up and bridges into towns being destroyed.
According to experts, the only way to get through this without further violence is getting all of the ethnic group leaders and political party leaders together to negotiate a path to pace and a new direction for Ethiopia.
For now, many Ethiopians of all ethnic groups and people right around the world are just hoping to see an end to the ongoing violence and for the enormous number of Ethiopians that are currently starving to be given the help that they desperately need.

Shocking facts about the Tigray people.
Hi and welcome to another video on the various tribes of Africa. They are the descendants of King Solomon and Queen Sheba. Their history is nothing short of fascinating. They are one of the oldest and magnificent civilizations known to man. And they are The Tigray people, of Northern Ethiopia.
Please remember to subscribe, comment and like Afroartista Films for more African themed content.
Number one. The Origins.
The Tigray people are related to the Amhara and Tigre people of Ethiopia and Eritrea who together make up the Habesha people. These people can trace their origins back to Shem, eldest son of Noah. They left present day Yemen and settled on the African side of the Red Sea inhabiting the Nile Delta and all land East of the valley down to the Ethiopian Highlands where they mixed with the native black populations. This explains their mixed look.
Number two. Their land.
Tigray is the northernmost region of the second most populous country of Africa, Ethiopia. Tigray is known for its mountainous terrains that have often helped the people protect their territory from invaders, such as the Greeks, the Turkish, and the Italians.
Number three. Their Beliefs.
They are mainly Christian and members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
This said, they were the first African converts to Islam after sheltering Muhammad's followers in the holy city of Negash, located in the Tigray Region, from their enemies in Mecca. The converted Habeshans (especially Tigray Muslims) became known as the Jeberti.
Number Four. Their Demographics.
Tigrayans constitute approximately 6.1% of the population of Ethiopia and are largely small holding farmers inhabiting small communal villages. The Tigrayans constitute the fourth largest ethnic group in the country after the Oromo, Amhara and Somali.
Number Five. The Famine.
The decline of the Tigrayan population in Ethiopia was caused by the 1958 famine in Tigray, when over 100,000 people died. Later on during the famine years of 1983-85, the Mengistu Haile Mariam-led brutal military dictatorship organized government policies that deliberately multiplied the effects of the famine. Around 1.2 million people died in Ethiopia from this famine. The majority were from Tigray province.
Number Six. Aksum Kingdom.
Before incorporation into Ethiopia, Tigray was formerly a separate kingdom. 1st to the 7th centuries. At its apogee (3rd–6th century CE), Aksum became the greatest market of northeastern Africa; its merchants traded as far as Alexandria and beyond the Nile River.
Menelik , the founder of the Aksum Kingdom and also the son of King Solomon of Israel and Queen Sheba, captured the Ark of the Covenant from the Israelites and brought it to Axum in what is now the Tigray region in Ethiopia, where it remains to this day.
Number Seven. Political History.
Since the ouster of the socialist government of Mengistu Haile Mariyam in 1991, Tigray have dominated the Ethiopian government. This went on till 2018 when Ahmed Abiy, a mixed Oromo-Amhara prime minister took office. This saw the radical weakening of the TPLF through a purge that removed its key figures from powerful positions in government. Abiy’s peace deal with Eritrea, which won him the Nobel peace prize, further isolated the TPLF. Escalations of warfare ensued and to date the Ethiopian government and the TPLF is in serious conflict, which has resulted in widespread human loss on both sides, moreso the Tigray civilian population.
Number eight. The Culture.
When a Tigray man or woman arrives at someone's house, he or she does not knock on the door to signify he or she has arrived at someone's house; rather, he clears his throat. Guests are usually offered coffee. Traditional Tigray clothing is white, which is regarded as Christian, with little adornment. In Tigray, using the left hand to touch food that others will have contact with is regarded as very bad manners. The same relationship between left and right can be seen in many settings. For example, sitting on the right side of someone important is better than having to sit on the left. The right side of the church, as viewed from the altar, is holier than the left.
Number Nine. Food.
Some foods like pork are believed to be unfit for Christian Tigray to eat. The justification for these food prohibitions is found in the Christian Old Testament book of Leviticus.
Number ten. Economic Background.
Until recently, most rural Tigray considered farming to be the most honorable work. Today's food shortages have made many parents rethink this proposition. Nearly all parts of Tigray are subject to drought. Trade and government employment are seen as providing better opportunities.

Refugees cross the Ethiopia-Sudan border following an escalation in fighting in northern Ethiopia between Tigray forces and the federal government, Friday, November 13.
Most have crossed at Hamdayet border point in Kassala State, with very little belongings and some described being under attack even as they fled.
Over 25,000 Ethiopian refugees have fled the Tigray region into neighboring Sudan, amid reports that Ethiopia’s rebellious Tigray region has confirmed firing missiles at neighboring Eritrea’s capital and is threatening more.
The leader of Ethiopia's northern Tigray region confirmed Sunday that his forces fired missiles at Eritrea's capital, Asmara, and threatened more attacks, saying “we will take any legitimate military target and we will fire."
On Tuesday, the regional president, who is also the leader of the Tigray People's Liberation Front, accused Eritrea of sending troops across the border in support of Ethiopian government forces, which Eritrea's Foreign Minister Osman Saleh Mohammed denied.
Hundreds have been killed since Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed sent the national defense force into Tigray on Nov. 4, after accusing local forces there of attacking a military base.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy is blaming the massacre on forces loyal to the Tigray region’s government, which his administration regards as illegal after a months-long falling-out.

I share many stories of talented, multidimensional disabled people. But the first chapter of my memoir starts with this anecdote because disabled kids are made vulnerable by ableism. Resisting ableism must be part of every movement for liberation.
Over the past few months, thousands of people have been killed in Tigray, a region of Ethiopia. The war has displaced about a million people. NPR summarizes the war here: https://www.npr.org/2021/03/05/973624991/9-things-to-know-about-the-unfolding-crisis-in-ethiopias-tigray-region
I’m not Tigrayan, but my heart is big enough to care for all the different ethnic groups of Ethiopia, Eritrea, and beyond. It’s not a Tigray crisis, it’s a humanitarian crisis.

How do you go from winning a Nobel Peace Prize to being accused of horrific war crimes in just two years? That's the situation facing Ethiopian Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed. For months, Ethiopia has been in the middle of a violent civil war with the Tigrayan people; an ethnic group that lives in the country's north. As many as 50,000 people are said to have died, which, if true, is more than any conflict anywhere in the world in 2021.
Abby's government is being accused of committing war crimes and putting millions of its own citizens at risk of dying from starvation and the United Nations has just announced that more than 400,000 Ethiopians are currently experiencing famine,
So, how did it go from a Nobel Peace Prize to this? To answer that question, we need to take a closer look at the rise of Abiy, as well as the four stages of Ethiopia's recent leadership. Ethiopia is a diverse country with distinct regions and lots of different ethnic groups, like the Tigrayans. That's because for centuries, right up until the 1970s, Ethiopia was actually an empire ruled by an emperor. After the fall of the empire and years of civil war and Communist dictatorship under Mengistu, Eritrea declared independence and the TPLF went on to rule Ethiopia with the EPRDF for almost 30 years .
The man the government chose to eventually replace the outgoing Prime Minister was Abiy Ahmed. Abiy was seen as a young and dynamic politician and often spoke of peace, reconciliation and unity.
Abiy's most well-known act, however, was reaching out to Eritrea and ending the war that had been going on for decades. This is how he won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Things seemed like that were going well for Ethiopia and that they were finally moving away from years and years of authoritarian rule. But inside the country, conflicts between ethnic groups were flaring up. Abiy responded to all of this by going back to some of the methods used by those before him.
Then came COVID.
Like many other nations, Ethiopia decided to postpone its elections. Opponents accused Abiy of using the pandemic as an excuse and said that he didn't want to face an election. The Tigrayans went one step further and defied the government by holding their own elections the following month. What followed were reports of the Ethiopian government mobilising its military and in the early hours of November 4th, while the rest of the world was watching the US election, Abiy issued a statement that the Tigrayans had attacked a military base and that they'd be forced to respond with military action.
The two sides were now at war. Although Abiy and his government refused to refer to the situation as a war. In the early stages, it was referred to as a 'law and order operation' against politicians who had to defied the government and needed to be brought to justice. Abby also said it would be over in weeks and would be entirely bloodless. After a while it became clear that both of those statements weren't true.
Details started to trickle out eventually, with more than 60,000 Tigrayans fleeing across the border into Sudan.
They came with stories of not just fighting between the military and militias, but of massacres of civilians and widespread sexual violence.
There have also been signs of widespread hunger across Tigray, a place that's already vulnerable to food shortages.
The United Nations says that all sides of the conflict have been carrying out atrocities, but that the vast majority have been perpetrated by the Ethiopian military and its allies. That brings us to a key point. The Ethiopian military hasn't been acting alone. Abiy allied with the Eritrean military to attack his own people, something that government denied at first. Eritrea is led by President Isaias Afwerki.
Internationally, there has been a huge amount of pressure on Abiy to stop the fighting and to send the Eritreans home. Now, it seems as if the Eritrean military are finally starting to pull out and the Ethiopian government did recently announce a ceasefire. However, it was rejected by the TPLF, who said that they won't stop fighting until all enemy troops have left the region. Experts fear the fighting will continue to spread and millions more are at risk of dying from starvation if regions in Tigray continue to be cut off from food aid and essential services. The Ethiopian government continues to deny that this is happening even though there have been reports of trucks with aid being held up and bridges into towns being destroyed.
According to experts, the only way to get through this without further violence is getting all of the ethnic group leaders and political party leaders together to negotiate a path to pace and a new direction for Ethiopia.
For now, many Ethiopians of all ethnic groups and people right around the world are just hoping to see an end to the ongoing violence and for the enormous number of Ethiopians that are currently starving to be given the help that they desperately need.

Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed says Eritrea will pull its troops out of the northern Tigray region. Thousands of people have been killed in fighting between Ethiopian government troops and the Tigray region’s former ruling party, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), that began in November. FRANCE 24 correspondent Maria Gerth-Niculescu says the breakthrough comes after months of denials that Eritrea was present in the region.

The Tigray Region, officially the Tigray National Regional State, is the northernmost regional state in Ethiopia. The Tigray Region is the homeland of the Tigrayan, Irob, and Kunama people. It's capital and largest city is Mekelle. The Tigrayans trace their origin to early Semitic-speaking peoples whose presence in the region date back to at least 2000 BC. The Tigrinya
speakers in Eritrea and Tigray are the authentic carriers of the historical and cultural tradition of ancient Aksum. Tigray was a significant center of civilization and trade, particularly during the Aksumite Empire (1st to 8th century), which was one of the most powerful and prosperous civilizations of its time. Visitors to Tigray Region of Ethiopia can explore its natural wonders, including the dramatic landscapes of the Gheralta Mountains, the Danakil Depression, and the stunning views from atop the Semien Mountains.

Shocking facts about the Tigray people.
Hi and welcome to another video on the various tribes of Africa. They are the descendants of King Solomon and Queen Sheba. Their history is nothing short of fascinating. They are one of the oldest and magnificent civilizations known to man. And they are The Tigray people, of Northern Ethiopia.
Please remember to subscribe, comment and like Afroartista Films for more African themed content.
Number one. The Origins.
The Tigray people are related to the Amhara and Tigre people of Ethiopia and Eritrea who together make up the Habesha people. These people can trace their origins back to Shem, eldest son of Noah. They left present day Yemen and settled on the African side of the Red Sea inhabiting the Nile Delta and all land East of the valley down to the Ethiopian Highlands where they mixed with the native black populations. This explains their mixed look.
Number two. Their land.
Tigray is the northernmost region of the second most populous country of Africa, Ethiopia. Tigray is known for its mountainous terrains that have often helped the people protect their territory from invaders, such as the Greeks, the Turkish, and the Italians.
Number three. Their Beliefs.
They are mainly Christian and members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
This said, they were the first African converts to Islam after sheltering Muhammad's followers in the holy city of Negash, located in the Tigray Region, from their enemies in Mecca. The converted Habeshans (especially Tigray Muslims) became known as the Jeberti.
Number Four. Their Demographics.
Tigrayans constitute approximately 6.1% of the population of Ethiopia and are largely small holding farmers inhabiting small communal villages. The Tigrayans constitute the fourth largest ethnic group in the country after the Oromo, Amhara and Somali.
Number Five. The Famine.
The decline of the Tigrayan population in Ethiopia was caused by the 1958 famine in Tigray, when over 100,000 people died. Later on during the famine years of 1983-85, the Mengistu Haile Mariam-led brutal military dictatorship organized government policies that deliberately multiplied the effects of the famine. Around 1.2 million people died in Ethiopia from this famine. The majority were from Tigray province.
Number Six. Aksum Kingdom.
Before incorporation into Ethiopia, Tigray was formerly a separate kingdom. 1st to the 7th centuries. At its apogee (3rd–6th century CE), Aksum became the greatest market of northeastern Africa; its merchants traded as far as Alexandria and beyond the Nile River.
Menelik , the founder of the Aksum Kingdom and also the son of King Solomon of Israel and Queen Sheba, captured the Ark of the Covenant from the Israelites and brought it to Axum in what is now the Tigray region in Ethiopia, where it remains to this day.
Number Seven. Political History.
Since the ouster of the socialist government of Mengistu Haile Mariyam in 1991, Tigray have dominated the Ethiopian government. This went on till 2018 when Ahmed Abiy, a mixed Oromo-Amhara prime minister took office. This saw the radical weakening of the TPLF through a purge that removed its key figures from powerful positions in government. Abiy’s peace deal with Eritrea, which won him the Nobel peace prize, further isolated the TPLF. Escalations of warfare ensued and to date the Ethiopian government and the TPLF is in serious conflict, which has resulted in widespread human loss on both sides, moreso the Tigray civilian population.
Number eight. The Culture.
When a Tigray man or woman arrives at someone's house, he or she does not knock on the door to signify he or she has arrived at someone's house; rather, he clears his throat. Guests are usually offered coffee. Traditional Tigray clothing is white, which is regarded as Christian, with little adornment. In Tigray, using the left hand to touch food that others will have contact with is regarded as very bad manners. The same relationship between left and right can be seen in many settings. For example, sitting on the right side of someone important is better than having to sit on the left. The right side of the church, as viewed from the altar, is holier than the left.
Number Nine. Food.
Some foods like pork are believed to be unfit for Christian Tigray to eat. The justification for these food prohibitions is found in the Christian Old Testament book of Leviticus.
Number ten. Economic Background.
Until recently, most rural Tigray considered farming to be the most honorable work. Today's food shortages have made many parents rethink this proposition. Nearly all parts of Tigray are subject to drought. Trade and government employment are seen as providing better opportunities.

Over 25,000 Ethiopian refugees have fled the Tigray region into neighboring Sudan, amid reports that Ethiopia’s rebellious Tigray region has confirmed firing missiles at neighboring Eritrea’s capital and is threatening more.
The leader of Ethiopia's northern Tigray region confirmed Sunday that his forces fired missiles at Eritrea's capital, Asmara, and threatened more attacks, saying “we will take any legitimate military target and we will fire."
On Tuesday, the regional president, who is also the leader of the Tigray People's Liberation Front, accused Eritrea of sending troops across the border in support of Ethiopian government forces, which Eritrea's Foreign Minister Osman Saleh Mohammed denied.
Hundreds have been killed since Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed sent the national defense force into Tigray on Nov. 4, after accusing local forces there of attacking a military base.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy is blaming the massacre on forces loyal to the Tigray region’s government, which his administration regards as illegal after a months-long falling-out.

Tigray-Tigrinya people
The Tigray-Tigrinya people (ትግራይ - ትግርኛ) are an ethnic group inhabiting the southern and central parts of Eritrea and the northern highlands of Ethiopia's Tigray Region. Prior to 1995, they lived in Ethiopia's former provinces of Tigray, Begemder (Gonder), and Wollo, with the regions within these provinces that they inhabited (e.g. Wolqayt, Tsegede, Tselemti, Raya, Humera) later incorporated into the modern Tigray Region. The Tigray people, eponymous with the name of their territory, make up approximately 96.6% of the inhabitants of the Tigray Region, and comprise 6.1% of Ethiopia's total population, numbering a little over 5.7 million. Group members in Eritrea are known by the name of their language, Tigrinya, and they constitute around 50% of the population, at about 3.4 million people. They primarily live in a region of Eritrea known as the Kebessa, contained within the former awrajas of Hamasien, Seraye, and Akele Guzay, these later incorporated into Eritrea's present-day regions. The Tigray-Tigrinya speak Tigrinya, an Afro-Asiatic language belonging to the family's Semitic branch. Members from this ethnic group today form the dominant political force in both Ethiopia and Eritrea.
