Is ethiopians black?

Ethiopians are culturally, politically, and ethnically (though not completely) Sub saharan African (Black African) and have always been. However, it is indeed true that, given the history of Horn Africa as a crossroads of sorts, there is a very stong Middle eastern influence in the region, an influence that is interwoven with native African influence. Now, with that said, they are not Arabs or brown people nor have they ever been so, for the Arabs themselves call them "Habesh" or "Habesha" which means "mixed people". So, they are mixed, however, don't go up to an Ethiopian and call him an Afro-arab or a "biracial", he WILL give a really confused/puzzled/offended look, for the ethnic mixing occurred thousands of years ago, millenniums before even the Arab macro-ethnic group existed. So, they do not feel necessarily close to Arabs or identify as multiracial. [This is NOT to say that they do not see themselves as somewhat distinct from the rest of Black Africa. They do. It goes the other way as well. Don't be surprised if you see a regular Black African referring to a Somali or Ethiopian as an "arab." or a black arab.] They see themselves as Ethiopians. It may be common thing for you to hear him identify as black Africans. However, even more than that, they are Ethiopians, a people of Africa

p.s.-- Ethiopians are not part-White. Cape Verdeans are (Portuguese blood), but even they see themselves as Africans.

Why did Eritrea have war with Ethiopia?

ErItrea had a war with Ethiopia for their freedom. Before the war Eritrea was enslaved by Ethiopia. Ethiopians may differ and say something different but this is how it's told by my parents who were born there. Btw I'm only 11 and my parents are still alive, I don't care what philosophers say about the war because they weren't in it and they get facts wrong. The Eritrean and Ethiopian people know what happened and they don't. Overall the war was for our freedom and luckily, even with a smaller army we still won! Im not some adult who's parents ran away from Africa becoming slaves in America I'm only 11. This last comment is for the racist people put there: just to let you know Eritrea,Ethiopia, and Sudan people and others from the Horn like us weren't ever taken as slaves because we were from the east and slave catchers went to the north and south. What!! You just got burned by an 11 year old!! Have a nice day
