Who are the Tigrayans? What is their origin? Why do Ethiopia fear them?

Tigray-Ethiopians are in the majority semetic people. But there are a significant percentage maybe 10% who are Bantu migrants. specially Irob, Saho and Kunama.

Tigrayans are very religious and are Orthodox-Christians (96%). Orthodox Christianity has a long history. St. Marys's Cathedral in Aksum stands since 4th Century (maybe the second oldest church in the world)

Some suggest the semetic population in Tigray about 8 million migrated from Tigris River Delta. Some suggest Enderta of Tigray migrated from Kingdom of Judah some 5000 years ago. Agame are mostly Saho and migrated from Sudan and Central Africa.

Contrary to Ethiopian sources, the beautiful people of Raya are not Oromo. They are semetic and have migrated probably from Middle East some 5000 years ago.

Tigrigna language as spoken in Enderta, Tembien and Raya is related to Geez and other semetic languages. Contray to Eritrea's hate politics, Tigrayans from Raya and Enderta speak Amharic as a second tongue. They tell bed time stories in Tigrigna.

One would need to make more investigation to know who the Tigray-Ethiopians are? Why are Ethiopia, Eritrea and UAE against Tigray-Ethiopians to the extent of trying to destroy them as people? (to be continued)
