I'm not 100% sure about this, but if memory serves the Eritreans are a mixed ethnicity which includes a lot of Middle Eastern ancestry, possibly Arab or Berber. This accounts for their lighter appearance. The Eritreans had lots of contact with the lands to the north for many centuries, and they have many values that we would not find incompatible, such as strong families and work ethic.

The Somalis who come here are mostly Bantu, who were expelled from Somalia and are among the most incompatible people on earth with Western society. Culturally, they have no understanding of Western ways at all. This is why the press is particularly sympathetic towards them and why there's an obsession among the treasonous open borders lobby with importing them.

A few years ago, a bunch of Somalis living in Atlanta learned that Lewiston, ME had one of the most generous welfare systems in America. So a couple of thousand packed up and moved there. Lewiston is a small town of about 40,000 people, and the Somalis immediately doubled the city's welfare expenditures upon arrival. In other words, these 2,000 Somalis absorbed as much in welfare as the 40,000 other citizens did combined. The Somalis were writing to relatives and friends all over the country, telling them to come to Lewiston to get all the goodies. The mayor politely asked them not to invite any more of their buddies to come there since the city couldn't afford it. He was immediately attacked as a “racist” and the governor, both Senators, and political leaders from throughout the state repudiated his “repugnant” request. The press wrote glowing editorials asserting that the arrival of the Somalis (Muslims) was no different than the arrival of French Canadians there a few generations ago.
