The Agazian Movement is a far-right nationalist movement that emerged within the Eritrean diaspora around 2016. It seeks to establish a Tigrinyan Orthodox-Christian state in what is currently Eritrea and part of Ethiopia.[1] The movement is characterized by its anti-Muslim rhetoric, militant politics, and its impact on the already divided Eritrean opposition.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

The movement's primary objective is the establishment of an Agazian state that would unite Tigrinyaa-speaking Orthodox Christians from both Eritrea and the Tigray region in Ethiopia.[8][9] This vision includes rejecting the current Eritrean state, which the Agazian Movement views as a product of colonialism. The movement's leaders advocate for the dismantling of Eritrea's territorial boundaries, arguing that they were artificially imposed by colonial powers.[10]
