Dear AbyssiniaLady:
The idea of ethnic federation in Eritrea is noted, but improbable
I know very little about The Eritrean Aafar State in Exile (TEASE): the organization, or its aims, members and activities. Its name sounds pompous, but regardless, it is the right of any Eritrean individual or group to propose and pursue any political goals they believed would be good for the Eritrean people in general. The project would not materialize unless the majority of the citizens of Eritrea support it. I hope TEASE would try to peacefully convince most citizens in Eritrea, where the overwhelming majority of the people are.
I have previously explored the idea of possibly forming a federal state of Biherat in Eritrea. It is, however, my estimation that ethnic federalism is not supported by many in Eritrea. In the past, it was mainly because Etiyopiyan irredentists were doing all they can to weaken the unity of the Eritrean people and possess a sea port of their own at Assab. But now that Eritrea is a sovereign nation, we can more freely consider if we do have a real need for an ethno-linguistic federation.TEASE has the burden of convincing us. A federation is often successful (like the Swiss ethno-linguistic-based Confederation) if it is arranged by preexisting (already established, distinct entities, whose physical and psychological boundaries are clearly defined, etc.) political units.
The Biherat in Eritrea, without exception, do not have, at least, any established political associations, leadership, common Biher laws, or defined territories, etc. to speak of. Just hearing the rights of aboriginal people in Canada does not necessarily mean it is good for Eritrea and applicable in the Eritrean context. You, AbyssiniaLady, for example, have already triggered a disagreement with the State of Eritrea regarding the borders of Dankalia.
Another topic TEASE raises is about the Eritrean Aafar being an indigenous people; without explaining how to determine who is an indigenous group and who is not an indigenous (or native) group in Eritrea. TEASE does not specify if its proposal includes excluding other Eritreans residing and doing business in Dankalia, Eritrea. If TEASE does not exclude non-Aafari Eritreans, then, why does its proposed federal unit be organized as an exclusive ethno-linguistic Aafar unit? There are many unresolved issues, including an accepted legal definition of the so-called indigenous people.

The Eritrean Afar State in Exile.
The Afar homeland (Dankalia) is over 40,000 Square Kilometers in size, stretching from the northern tip of Bori Peninsula near Massawa to southern town of Rahyta. The coastal regions of Dankalia stretch up 1000 KM and contain historic villages, ports and islands. Dahlak Island, for example, contains over 300 islands

The Eritrean Afar State Flag.
The Eritrean Afar State in Exile (EASE) protects the interests of the Afar people, a marginalized and minority indigenous group of East Africa, whose population in Eritrea live in the Southern Red Sea Region. To them, though, the region is known as Dankalia. Eritrea's current ruling party, the People’s Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ), are nationalistic and treat the Afar, Kunama, and other minority groups poorly.
The Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in Eritrea reported there have been systematic crimes against humanity committed by government officials against indigenous groups over the past 27 years. In June 2017, the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Eritrea said “the situation of human rights in Eritrea has not significantly improved."
In 2018, some are hopeful that the change in federal leadership in Ethiopia will lead to peace and prosperity between the two nations. However, despite Eritrean cooperation with their neighbors, its government still has work to do if they truly want to help their indigenous minorities.
BTW, on what occasions do you feast on Hyena's meat ? 
Why don't you control the Ogadeni Somali bi-itch sister of yours from interfering in Eritrean affairs ? BTW, do you know Eritrea was sanctioned because of useless and violent , unorganized affairs of a country called Somalia. Siad was not supporting the Eritrean cause out of good heart, so don't give us the bleeding heart
