Prof Gebissa wouldnt be surprised if #Eritreans are ready to defend their country after Abiy’s threats. They were invited in by #Abiy & havent left. Abiy said they stayed in areas awarded to #Eritrea. Yet S. Sudan/Kenya invaded 🇪🇹 & Sudan seized alFashaga & Ethiopia never reacts.

The long-term physical and mental effects of years of deprivation have yet to be documented. #Eritreans find strength in their religious tradition and in their family and community relationships.

Upon coming to the United States, #Eritreans settled in urban communities, dramatically changing their way of life. Those who came to the United States had to develop new ways of earning a living.
