Having followed the insight on the kush empire and the subsequent aksum empire here. I wish to seek the clarity of Zeinab Badawi on some issues which i pose as two main questions bellow.
1) Was the Kush empire primarily installed by the present day cushitic tribes ?. And how does empire relates to the Nubian community who aren't cushitic themselves ?. Coz most often one hears aligning themselves with it for strict ownership. Again, if it was an empire of the cushitic ppl and was indeed eventually over-run to oblivion by the Aksum empire.
2) How then did the Somalis move from their ancestoral home in sudan transversing the expensive Ethiopian terrains which was under the control of the powerful aksum empire to reach the farthest point on the orient of the continent at the Indian ocean and successfully settled in the present day Somalia, Djibouti and the fifth region of Ethiopia {Ogadenia} ?. Any historical account on how this actually happened with success for a small percentage of viliens, without the plausible breakup of historical war between them and the aksumites but which doesn't appear in the annals of history anyway.

The Israelites were not whites, Thus, Jesus Christ and virgin Mary are not whites.

@abebedesta3956

This is African history at continent level, Ethiopian history at national level but more of tigrean history in reality. I don't know why eritreans are barking here and there

Isa or Yeshua peace be upon him was not white in complexion as Europeans are.

What is White and Black???

Europeans are not white as in milk colour but more pink or red in colour same as Africans are not Black but brown in colour.

@realitytube6290

There was no Israel back then as a country.

@efremtesfai1743

After all It’s a false narration.Queen Saba is from Yemen 🇾🇪. It's our history not Axumite history

@godefaberhe7524

@kenfeab

How they allow Zeina to enter into the church building as she is not orthodox christain.How could the church people allow that to happen.As far as i know, even orthodox cristians who do not follow the fasting regime are not supposed to enter church buildings.

@samyy3559

During axumite time the people were agew and amara tgrea area new settlers less than 600 years

@zaebakulu8553

There is misunderstood with history Eritrea and Ethiopia have nothing connectivity with Axumit kingdom history.
The Axumit kingdom history is belongs Tigrayan. that all you said are Tigray history .. Tigrayans are the first one to accept Christianity in Africa andTigrayans are the first one to accept Islamic in Africa. that all Ethiopian history is belongs to Tigrayan but world and Ethiopians or Eritreans pretend that as belong their history.
