Tarik Time

I am on episode 1. Thus far, I am learning a lot and look forward to many more episode. One thing is that I was wondering if you guys could also cover the history of different sub groups in Tigray, history on music, traditions, or religion.

Was really impressed by the style and moderation of the conversation. I’d say one recommendation would be for the improvement for the audio. I think a new type of microphone would be helpful. Well done

The contents presented here are very biased towards the Tigrayan community of Ethiopia. These people purposely neglect facts about Ethiopian unity and present the Amhara people as oppressors, settlers, and unwelcoming. Mind you there is an Amhara genocide currently going on and these people are basically giving the perpetrators a green light to go ahead and wipe out Amharas. The information presented here is only highlights heroes of Tigrayan descent and presents the Amhara nobility as evils and monsters. For example, Ras Alula Aba Nega (Tigrayan) was a fierce Ethiopian hero who fought along side Emperor Menelik (Amhara) in the First Italo-Ethiopian war. These people present Emperor Menelik as this evil and merciless leader who killed millions in the south, and at the same time say he was a wimp and scared and hid in a cave while Ras Alula was fighting the Italians. The Battle of Adwa which was the most significant war that ruled out the Italians was conducted in Adwa. 700 miles away from where the Enperor resides. Why would a scared person march 700 miles (which is the biggest march for a war in history, beats the american civil war which was 600 miles) with an army of 100,000 just to hide under a cave. It doesn’t even make sense. Ras Alula was a hero, but you can’t cheer for the solider and mock the general. The Amhara are God-fearing, inclusive, and compassionate people. More than 2,000,000 amharas have been wiped out in the past 30 years due to the ongoing genocide and Amharas are been killed on the daily now. Please rephrase your content and present pure and factual information.

Thank you for taking the time out to teach us about our rich history! I thought I knew a lot about Tigray but I’m learning so much more now. This is great!
