What is the difference between a “Tigrinya” person and a “tigrayan” person besides personal antagonism between both parties? What is the difference between a “Tigrinya” person and a “tigrayan” person besides personal antagonism between both parties?

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.

Tips on traveling to Mekelle Tips on traveling to Mekelle

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.
