Jeberti
(also spelled Jabarti, Jaberti, Jebarti) are a Tigrinya- and Arabic-speaking indigenous group mostly found in Eritrea with a wider diaspora community in neighboring countries, primarily in the Arabian Peninsula. There are also small numbers of Jeberti living in Ethiopia. Due to historic persecution, the Jebertis are attempting to achieve equitable recognition as an ethnic group in both Eritrea and Ethiopia. The Jebertis in neighboring countries, facilitated by their shared religion, have been largely assimilated into their respective countries and cultures.
