First, they tried to be Arabs when the star of the Arabs were on the rise, Then Jews, when the Western Christians overshadowed the Arabs during the heyday of imperialism. This kind of flip-flops is of course typical of those who are suffering from identity crisis.<br /> The question is: Who are the Amhara and how did they get that name?<br /> But before I answer my question, let me briefly state two pillars which reflect our people's unalloyed historical identity, and which the amhara and tegaru left no stone unturned to steal by crooked and sleazy means. <br /> 1. Geez is still spoken by our people as ordinary medium of communication.<br /> 2. The first Christian Monastery in the Horn of Africa is in the heart land of Eritrea.<br /> To answer my question: To the so called amhara people, the word amhara and Christianity is synonymous. Why? Because they were given that name by the Christian missionaries after they converted them to Christianity as a distinguishing factor from the rest of their Oromo people. <br /> The word amhara is a derivative of the Tigrigna word, amhirulen, amhirulom. And we apply those q'ts'lat to people on whom something is added. And in the case of the amhara, Christianity and our way of life. <br /> Yacob,<br /> Tigrigna word for your name is, Yaaqob. But because you imitate whoever is doing well, you coped the Western style.<br /> You have one correct point though; isaias afewerqi is tembenay, the reason he is wiping out our people masquerading as Eritrean, to realize his grand father, Abraha Mirach, a senior officer in alula's invading army, failed to accomplish.Dawit Meconennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774364245587719244.post-22059720732769597942014-10-06T06:53:11.999-07:002014-10-06T06:53:11.999-07:00Thanks Madote for the meaning of the hoye hoye and...Thanks Madote for the meaning of the hoye hoye and it's story.cane liberonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774364245587719244.post-42383912822436782592014-10-05T23:35:38.926-07:002014-10-05T23:35:38.926-07:00You are drunkard.

Actually, during that time the Oromos were limited to the Borena areas mainly. So, he does not have any Oromo blood line.<br />4, He was educated at the monastery of Debre Abay, western Tigray as a child.<br />5, The Bahri Negassis were not independent rulers. They were appointed by the Ethiopian emperors as rulers of The Hamassien area and areas adjacent to the Red sea( hence the name Bahri Negassi). Some titles given by the Emperors to rulers of different domains of the Ethiopian empire were: Bahri Negassi(rulers of the Hamassien area), Mekonnen( rulers of Tigray), Nigus( rulers of Gojjam, Wollo) e.t.c. All the Bahri Negassis were not necessarily from the Hamassien area. For example: the most famous of all of them, Bahri Negassi Isaac was from Shire, Adyabo area.<br /><br /><br />ONE FINAL BONUS: The current Bahri Negassi( Isaias Afewerki) is also not original of the Hamassien area. I do not know which Ethiopian Emperor appointed him though.:))))))Jacobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774364245587719244.post-41353171258679377392014-10-04T17:37:14.757-07:002014-10-04T17:37:14.757-07:00Interesting note on the background for Meskel.

I googled the Empror Zera Yakob, and he seems to be an Ethiopian king from Oromo in from the 1400 hundreds from the line of the Selomonic-bullshit; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zara_Yaqob. At the time, Eritrea was Medri-bahri (1100-1890). It doesn't seem logic. There are some missing links and obsicurity to your article. If could research this further, it would be even more interesting! But I understand that this time, you just made a comment-based-article on Meskel.fdfadfasfnoreply@blogger.com
