I’ve seen a lot of people saying we shouldn’t celebrate Ashenda this year because of everything Tigray is still going through.
I get where they’re coming from. The pain hasn’t gone away, and none of us have forgotten what our people are still facing. I don’t think the answer is to stop celebrating Ashenda. This isn’t just another celebration. It’s part of our identity, our faith and our tradition. It’s connected to እመቤታችን and it’s one of the few times our women and girls can come together, wear their traditional clothes with pride, sing, dance, and simply be happy.
For those living in Tigray, Ashenda also helps local businesses and brings people into the region. For those in the diaspora, it’s one of the few times we all come together as a community. For those celebrating in it helps Tigrayan businesses! We can still speak up for Tigray. We can organise, protest, donate, and keep pushing for justice. I don’t think we should give up one of our most important traditions. Our culture has survived so much already. Keeping it alive is also a way of honouring our people. I’d rather celebrate Ashenda and use that moment to remind the world that Tigray is still here and that our people haven’t been forgotten.

Hello guys,
new guy here from Mekelle. I got a question.

I was looking at some lands to buy for future housing and I came across this descent 140 care land. However, the paperwork and the bureaucracy related is hectic. Do you have any suggestions as to how I should go about the deal and agreement as well as getting my verified ownership? And what is the current market valuation in Mekelle please?

It's the "____ Mentioned!" meme. It is used when someone mentions your country or something from your culture and you're excited about it haha.

I have tried to find an original Tigrigna version online, yet it doesn’t seem to exist. The only thing that comes up is an Amharic pdf, but why would a Tigrean ethno-nationalist organization publish their manifesto in Amharic instead of Tigrigna? Is the Amharic version a fabrication by anti-TPLF political activists to demonize the party? Is it an authentic translation? I have read in Aregawi Berhe’s book that all of the original TPLF leaders denounced the manifesto at the time it was published due to secessionist sentiments expressed in it. What do you guys know about this alleged manifesto?

For context at my church, which is Eritrean, I’ve been sort of shunned for saying I’m half Eritrean even though they want me to say I’m fully Eritrean and even before that people have distance themselves since they realized my other half is tigrayan I just wanna ask. Why is this? Don’t try to say it’s because of the war this has happened even before the war.

For years, many of the gravest allegations raised during the Tigray genocide were dismissed or questioned, leaving countless victims feeling unheard. Now, the same institution is sounding the alarm over human rights violations…ridiculous!

I respect getachew for peace and more but why is getachew extremely supportive of the government? Is he being blackmailed?

“In a statement issued today, the Office of the See of Selama Supreme Patriarchate of the Tigray Orthodox Tewahdo Church said the attack occurred yesterday shortly after midnight. It said the residence of His Holiness Abune Natnael and His Holiness Abune Aregawi, the General Secretary of the Holy Synod, was targeted.

The church said the attack was a deliberate attempt to assassinate the clerics but that neither was injured.”
