They both speak the same language, share the same religion, live right next to each other (modern day Eritrea 🇪🇷 and northern Ethiopia), share similar history, have similar cultural dresses, music, food to my understanding… What exactly is the difference? Would someone be able to differentiate between a “tigrinya” person and a “tigrayan” person? And why is there animosity between the two sides? Sincerely inquiring here.
Does any one know where i can buy Kirar in DC or online?
It's so hard to meet and hang with tegaru people in addis. Anyone else feeling frustrated by this? Is there a dating or chat app?

Some EOTC script shows there will be a king who will rule Ethiopia with peace and that time will be resurrection of Ethiopia! How do you guys feel about it? Is it a scum or should we have to wait and see?
Anybody here T-L208 or any other T subclade?
I am taking a trip to Addis and will also be visiting Mekelle for a few days while I’m in Ethiopia to visit family. I am wondering if anyone has any tips on traveling to Mekelle/Tigray right now as I’ve seen more ppl start going back again since the war is over. I am not a fluent speaker of Tigrinya but we will be taking two of my uncles who are fluent so the language barrier should not be a problem. I know there are concerns about traveling by road outside of Mekelle but I’ve also seen tourists post YouTube videos of them traveling from Mekelle to Axum by car in the past 6 months so I wonder if it has gotten better? If we have time I would love to go to Axum but it depends on the security situation. We will definitely be going to Samre and May Keyah because that’s where our family are. Aside from the roads I also wanted to know if anyone has suggestions for things to do in Mekelle as well. I know a lot of stuff got damaged like the Atse Yohannes museum but I would still like to go. We will be in Tigray as a whole for 4 days. Thank you.
