Dear bTsayna "nick-named Shilalo",
we thank you very much indeed for morally supporting us by "appreciating our dedication and plain presentation of our goals and website respectively".
We have to tell you, brother, that there are very few "highlanders" like you, who would sympathise with us, seeing the injustices committed against and the plights of our "innocent Kunama public".
This either purposeful or involuntary negligence on the part of quite a few highlanders, particularly those in higher political and educational positions, worries us profoundly as such a persistent passivity makes us think all the more whether the Kunama ethnic group would ever be recognised, accepted, respected and protected by the Eritrean authorities, within its own territorial and cultural environment.
There are even very hidden sinister agricultural plans, by the present PFDJ government, on the Kunama land which we Kunama see as extremely damaging to the very existence of our people as an ethnic entity.
Time will tell whether such evil plans, which intend to sacrifice human-beings for economic purpose, will ever see the day-light as we are determined to stand up to defend our social, territorial and existential rights.
Very much appreciating your encouraging words of support, dear bTsayna,
we salute you fraternally.

Dear Kiflemariam Hamde,
thank you very much for your appreciation of our Website.
We are glad to hear that you would like "to know more about the Kunama".
We shall always try to do our best to inform you and other interested fellow-Eritreans on our culture, customs, traditions and our points of view.
We are much appreciate the moral support of and interactions with people like you who are open minded enough to think and act beyond the ethnic and political lines.
Eritrea needs such intelligent individuals and not the ones whose politics and responses are based on insults and use of a degrading language.
If you are willing to share this us, we are intersted in "your series of collections of articles in Tigriya by Abba Tedros".
One of the contributors to our Website used to be, in fact, a fellow-student and best friend of his.
We would also appreciate if you could share with us your information material on the culture of your Blin ethnic group.
Hoping to get a positive response from you,
we send you our best and brotherly greetings.
Yours, RKPHA , the Kunama

Dear Amanuel G.,
we thank you very much indeed for your kind words on our Kunama Website.
It does disturb us too a lot to have to admit that our "tones regarding your kinds-the Eritrean Tigreans" are, most of the times, rather harsh, but, please, you rest assured that it is surely not people like you we refer to, but to all those, including the present Eritrean government, who are purposely and very cruelly persecuting our Kunama people for the simple reason of making their territorial gains in the Gash/Setit region.
Unfortunately, we have no way of individually identifying those members of the Eritrean Tigreans who are putting together all their efforts to invade and possess the Kunama land after the government has removed and displaced our people in other part of Eritrea.
To us, it is crystal clear that, the government, its supporters and a great majority of the Kebesa people had made this plan and are pursuing it to the end.
We therefore, hope that you understand our anger and frustration for being so blunt and direct in our attacks due to the evil activities our ethnic group members are being subjected to.
To you, dear Amanuel, and to many people like you, we apologise and regret our negative reactions but we shall still be using the same strong language to accuse and condemn the injustice falling on our people because of the arrogance and greedy behaviour of many members fo the Eritrean Tigrean ethnic group.
It is our great desire to inform our Website visitors on the history, customs and traditions of our Kunama ethnic group but , more than often, we are forced to divert our writing activities to other more serious matters on behalf of and to protect our people.
We shall, however, do our best to find enough time to expose the Kunama cultural heritage to our other fellow-Eritrean ethnic group members.
We greet you dearly,
Your
RKPHA, the Kunama

Dear Idris,
we sincerly thank you for your appreciation of the content of our Kunama Home Page and your encouraging words for our endeavours.
We are glad to know that you "had one good Kunama friend" who, we hope, had given you some pieces of information on oru cultural heritage.
We admire your honesty in stating that, you "do not agree with some of the points" we made.
For us it is in fact a very positive sign when the visitors of our Website read our material and send us their feed-back.
We wish you only that you could give us more detailed information on what points you disagree with us.
We would be glad to hear from you again.
With brotherly greetings,
the RKPHA

Dear Gigy,
thank you very much for your understanding and positve comment on our view.
Well Gigy, the ethno-federalism it might be the only solution and advantageous to the developmet of our country Eritrea.
Therefore, deportations, displacing any ethnic group members will cause a kind fo RUWANDA (Hutu and Tutsi) tribale war.
So we all hope that, our present and the future Eritrean government will accomplish the desire of the Eritrean people, avoiding the conflicts between ethnic groups in our land.
Greetings to you.
Yours, RKPHA the Kunama, December 2000

Dear Zainulaabdin Mohamed,
thank you very much for appreciating the content of our website and congratulating us for our enterprise.
Though we would not like to fully claim that we “are not only struggling for Kunama but also for the rest of the oppressed people of Eritrea”, we are very pleased to know that there other fellow-Eritreans like you, who are well aware of the sad situation our country and people are in due to the political instability and economic mismanagement that are draining the already meagre resources our country can ill-afford.
We are very impressed by your moral courage to see things as they are and blunty say how they are.
Without repeating the usual ideas and considerations regarding the issue of the Eritrean multi-ethnicity and its complex realities, we totally agree with you, that the question of the Eritrean land, cities, towns and regions and the right to name and administer them lie in the hands of our own people and not in the hands of those you very rightly describe as the “internal invaders”.
This are today abusing their forcibly appropriated elite status to turn the whole of Eritrea up-side-down.
The consciousness of the Eritrean national identity is not and should not be an imposed but a naturally and gradually developed one.
The tigrignalisation process, as it is now being tried in the whole of Eritrea, can only be short-lived because it is based on sinister plans and aims.
To our understanding, it is not a national homoginization process but a pure culturalisation attempt.
Our rich and varied cultures have great values and deep roots which no authority will ever succed to suppress them. We strongly believe that the Eritrean Tegreans should first try to be proud of their own Tigrigna culture in the same manner the other Eritrean ethnic group are so as not to force anybody to adapt to a culture which is not his or her own.
What makes us state so is the fact that, members of the “Eritrean Tigreans” seem to be ashamed of this ethnic group name and try to replace it with the nationality name of “Eritrean”.
To a given culture one is either born to or voluntarly drawn to but never forced to.
Dear Mohamed (hoping that’s your first name), we are glad that, every now and again, we happen toget very constructive messages like yours which make a great difference when we compare them with the usually feed-backs and responses that we receive (we are sorry but forced to admit) mostly from the Tigrigna speaking people who, very often, make recourse more to insults and denigration than tackle issues counterattacking them with sensible argumentations.
Is that a sign of mental blockage?
Whatever the reason, to you brother Z. Mohamed, a happy new Year 2001 and see or hear from you soon.
With brotherly greetings,
Yours, the Kunama (RKPA)
