Diaspora

The overwhelming second and third generations Diaspora of Eritrean Tigrigna and Tigray will lose their identity completely, they will lose contacts with their homeland and with each other, and they will be much more poorer with no hope and a lot of social problems more than African American and black Caribbean working classes if Eritrea didn’t became nation-state of Tigrigna people. Eritrea without strong Tigrigna nationalism will be very poor failed nation-state of tribes and clans that export female and male prostitutes and cheap low skilled slave labour to foreign countries with no hope and energy like Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti, Sudan, Yemen, Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan etc. Already  Eritrean Tigrigna and Tigray will succeed only when Eritrea succeeded economically, socially and culturally. Chinese, Jewish, Indian Diaspora get richer only when China, Israel and India started to get rich, assertive, and confident.

The Amhara have their own Diaspora community that promotes and teach their children Amhara history, identity and Amharic language. The Oromo has their own Diaspora community that promotes and teach their children Oromo history, values, language, tradition etc. , Jeberti have their own Diaspora community that promotes and teach their children their Jeberti history, values, tradition, solidarity and Arab language etc.  Saho, Ogaden, Muslim etc Diaspora community organizations teach and promote their children identity, history, values,  and their languages.

We the Ge’ez/Tigrigna/Tigray people have community organizations that called Eritrean and Tigray. The Eritrean Tigrigna communities are promoting and teaching children nine Eritrean ethnics unexplained odd personal and national identity. No one can explain what mean to be an Eritrean in terms of unique common values and meanings that represent the nine ethnics. Eritrea is artificially created nation-state of many nations/ethnics by ethnically cleansing the indigenous Ge’ez/Tigrigna nation.

The Tigray community organizations are promoting and teaching their children  Amhara history, identity, values and  Amharic language as their personal and national identity.

Eritrean Tigrigna and Tigray children who born and grow up in Eritrea under PFDJ, Tigray or Diaspora suffers from low self esteem. The high rate conversion to Islam Rastafarianism Jehovah witness and Pentecostal, high rate suicide among youth, teen pregnancy, runway, school dropout, high rate of drugs and alcohol addictions, loneliness, individualism, depressions, self hate, prostitutions, obesity, extreme cruelty and greediness, criminality etc are the result of lost identity and belonging that deliberately engineered by our ruling elite class. The social break dawn that happed by our elite ruling class in the last 40 years is deep and devastating. Our social capital is in immediate existential threat by these social break dawns. As civilization, nation and people we will have no bright and hopeful future without our social capital.

The nuclear family and village are the fabrics of Tigrigna people. Our elites are targeting and destroying our families and villages by destroying our religion, values system, traditions, by taking away our land and by humiliating us daily.

In West these are mainly inner urban underclass problems that are uneducated. But in Eritrea it is a problem of the highly educated upper ruling class, urban upper middle class and traditional farming class problem. The majority PFDJ ministers, Ambassadors, Generals etc children are alcoholics, teen single mothers, depressed, self hates, school dropout, converts, alcoholics etc and all of them wanted to leave Eritrea for exile. Our youth have no strong sense of purpose and meaning. The fabric of Tigrigna society either in home land or Diaspora is eroding by PFDJ brutal social engineering.

Humans get their sense of purpose and meaning from their sense identity and belonging. Thanks to PFDJ and our corrupt elite blurring of identity with citizenship that Eritrean parents teach their children that their identity is Eritrean. The definition of Eritrea as identity is nine ethnics. It is ridicules and it is impossible to fake or engineer identity. You can get strong sense of purpose and meaning only from original and authentic sense of identity and belonging.

Eritrean Tigrigna children get rejected by Eritrean Muslims that their parents and government taught them to belong. Tegaru children get rejected by Oromo, Amhara, Somali etc that their parents and government programmed and taught them to belong.

We are citizens of Eritrea. Our personal and national identity is Ge’ez/Aga’azian or Tigrigna/Tigray. Let’s respect the Eritrean tribes and clans identity and way of life. They must be free and must be supported on their own decision either to change or reserve their identity or way of life. Let’s be equal citizens of the nation-state of Eritrea while we are enjoying and celebrating our different unique identities and way of life’s.

Eritrean government doesn’t teach Eritrean Muslim children that Eritrean or nine ethnics are their first identity. Eritrean Muslim parents teach their children that Islam is their first identity and belonging.

The overwhelming Eritrean Tigrigna and Tigray children have very low self confidence and self believe because their parents have no confidence and believe on their own original and authentic identity. Diaspora children of Indian Singh, Jewish, Hindus, Armenia, Chinese have very high rate of success because they have original and authentic easily explainable identity that give their children strong sense of purpose and identity.

Our vision is to harmonise the Ge’ez Diaspora and bolster Ge’ez identity in the Ge’ez Diaspora united and integrated Ge’ez community organizations like churches, Tigrigna language schools, cultural activities like concerts and artists product distributions etc.

Many social science research had proved humans couldn’t have a strong sense of purpose and meaning without strong sense of identity and belonging. There is no big difference between someone who has no purpose, no meaning in his life and dead person.

Without the Ge’ez Diaspora communities our revolutions in Eritrea and Tigray that led by EPLF and TPLF to succeed was unthinkable. Now it is impossible to industrialize Tigray and Eritrea without the Ge’ez Diaspora. Losing the Ge’ez Diaspora is losing the greater Aga’azian hope and future.

The Diaspora has to understand they will never reach their potential us individuals without their community. The Eritrea Tigrigna and Tigray communities will never succeed and mobilize to improve their life without making Eritrea nation-state of Ge’ez/Tigrigna/Tigray people. Now our Diaspora has no choice except to live in exile. It is a forced exile. They couldn’t go back because there is no meaningful dignity, democracy, safety, housing, electricity, water, medications, internet, jobs etc in Eritre/Tigray. But they have power, potential and opportunity to make Eritrea/Tigray a place that their children choose to live and start their own family more than USA, UK, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland etc because Eritrea/Tigray will offer them better and more comfort, jobs, safety, dignity, high living standard, freedom etc. Now the Chinese and Jewish Diaspora are mainly exiles by choice. Forced exile because of no choice must be stopped.

To unite the Ge’ez Diaspora we have and bolster Ge’ez identity we have to overcame the division of Tigray-Eritrea, ሓማሴ-ንሰራየአ-ኸለጉዛይ, TPLF-EPLF, EPLF-ELF etc.  The division of Tigray and Eritrea is created by Italian and Amhara to divide us in order to destroy our identity, values systems and history. The regional administrations of  ሓማሴ-ንሰራየአ-ኸለጉዛይ had been created by Italians.

Already many Eritrean Tigrigna and Tigray Diaspora communities are organized by their local identity or villages. We will make it official every local government in Eritrea and Tigray to organize their Diaspora communities. And these local governments based communities or associations must set-up federation of all Diaspora communities in order to organize Tigrigna language classes,

These geographies framed community groups will be connected or organized by the national federation of Ge’ez communities like USA, Canada, UK, Sweden etc. These national federations that will organize and lead and coordinate church, Tigrigna schools, Ge’ez festivals etc. These national community organizations will be connected by a worldwide federation of Ge’ez Diaspora people. The worldwide federation of Ge’ez Diaspora people will have one office and secretariat in Tigray or Eritrea based on comprehensive peace agreement. From the local Diaspora organizations to the worldwide federation of Ge’ez Diaspora has to be democratic, transparent and accountable to their members and the law in order to create trust.

TPLF has to understand it will survive only when Tigray/Ge’ez identity, values and history is strong. So TPLF and any Eritrean Tigrigna political organizations have to be fit to the Ge’ez people ideology and goals.  Not the other way that Ge’ez people to be fit to TPLF and any Eritrean Tigrigna political organization’s ideology and goals. But till today, our people have to be fit to TPLF, PFDJ or any other political organization that pretends to represent the Ge’ez people cultural, economical, political etc interests. In democratic system political parties or organization created to articulate their people aspiration, fear and expectation by listening their social base. Sadly TPLF, PFDJ and all Tigrigna/Tigray elites political parties or organizations are created to lecture and brainwash their social base their untested theories based ideologies and to dismiss our people legitimate fear of Amhara, Islam and Europeans powers.

This new way re-organization of Diaspora people will heal the scars created by TPLF and PFDJ wars, will destroy the myth of ሓማሴ-ንሰራየአ-ኸለጉዛይ, will protect and advance economic, social and political of the Diaspora back home because they will be represented by a person they know and have strong connections, will unite the Ge’ez Diaspora, will bolster Ge’ez identity and values because strong common Ge’ez identity, history, values and destiny will create strong social trust.
