(December 2, 2012)--Historically, Ethiopia and Eritrea have not been

Another link between the two regions is the fact that the Tigrian peoples, who inhabit a region north of the Mereb in Southern Eritrea, and south of the Mereb in Northern Ethiopia, belong to the same ethnicity and speak the same language, Tigrinya, and have a common Axumaite heritage.Another link between the two Regions is that the Christian population in both Regions belongs to the Orthodox Coptic Church.
