    If not Suleiman, a Solomon would take the position anyway. If he really did badmouth the G -15, it’s of course opportunistic of him. But all in all, I don’t find Suleiman a bad guy. After all the author of the article is testifying that he was well versed in political questions. Brought from a peaceful enclave somewhere in Sahel to a real combat in Massawa, there’s nothing embarassing he was scared to death for his life. It’s usually a normal conscious reflex. I’d feel the same, especially if I knew the men who were in command of the combatants and of the battlefield: illiterate and half-literate militia men, whose conduct of war has been questionable on a number of instances.

    We do not need to crying about the gedli time. At least they give us an independent country that is now under internal colonizer Issaias and his folower foxes like the one an ambassador in uk.

    The subject matter of our 30 years armed struggle is not full filled because of the greedy leader Issaias that driving the country like the “animal farm “system of administration. And the weak followers of highi gdef.
    Kedaat nay gedili mebtsia.”tegadalay gn kab awate kisab wedi ali awat nhafash endabelu eyom tesewiom.
    They aren’t said victory to Issaias. Like higdefawian nhina nsu, sue nhina wonderfull.

    The weak followers of higdef that trusts to his foolish saying and action doing by him.
    Some logic we have to know by definition is ” politics is a dirty game or foolish game, don’t trust in any condition to politicians not elected by the people. They are not represent the people of the country they are leading.
    We need elected and delegated political organizations that can lead and administrated the country under the reference of the superior law of constitution. And this elected bodies can controlled frequently all the actions they made by the ellected assembly.or by the juridical part.
    Brothers we have to fight to create some thing real and democratically functional for the beautiful, be loved our country. To have in our hand in the hands of our people with all it’s resources with all it’s man power it has.

    Think it is helpful even if we are contributing an effort of 10 cents for a softe to stop crying of our mother country, our mothers, young sister, all young generation of eritrea to liberate from this Haynes regime of higdef that hijackers of our gedili effort of our people in the struggle.
    Issaias now making alliances with hademti, kedeat, welde geba ,esepa, when the people of Eritrea is fighting forcefully against foreign colonizers, hadigomo nhizibi eritrea zihademu.
    Like the fox in uk that escaping when our young brother at that time given their life for their country and poepl.
    At last the ID now distributed to diaspora living eritreans ,it is a play cards for higdefs political gamblers.this cards are a gambling cards. For sure there is hidden agenda that emerge after the changing the existing national ID cards. For sure against the oppesation groups. Against eritrean social organizations not under higdef controlling.
    I think the only choices that we have is one to oppose Issaias and his regime or
    Waiting to come real the family kingdom of issaias and his son abraham.

  • Mehari Hagos May 5, 2015

    Dear brother Esayas,
    According to your information you said that Mr Suleman was recommended by Mr Haile DeruE and Mahmud Sherifo to go to Europe with other tegadelti for medical care. So my point is since he was recommended by two key members of the top political section then he must have been a good servant of the EPLF otherwise how could the party send a tegadalay who is on the run? Your story doesn’t make much sense or it simply doesn’t add up. Please try to come back with more believable stories such as tell us more about that useless man Yared Tesfay or that Dawit (Wedi Mendefera). However, thank you haw Esayas and keep it up, Ayititifae wedi Asefaha.

    • AHMED SALEH !!! May 5, 2015

      Good observation in this argument . He wasn’t deserter according
      the higher ups to send him for special treatment .
      Remember EPLF intelligence ( Selena) used tricks to send rumors
      about their members as deserters to conceal the intended plan .
      Suleiman can be one of them , why not ?

    • Mana May 8, 2015

      I can assure you. Suleman was a deserter. But all Tegadelti are not inhuman. First of all Suleman was one of the operators/guards or what ever of the political Biro. All high rank leaders of EPLF knew him and there was some sympathy towards him. He was not a threat at all. They all knew he was a coward. That’s why Durue decided to send him abroad for medical attention. Even if he came back to Meada he was useless. Suleman by nature cannot do any thing useful.

  • futsum teferi May 5, 2015

    Essays Asfha, just expressed or reflects of the dirty regime, it is not Personalized. However,it’s true story. Merhawit issues, I think so suleman him self or the same member of higdef intelligence.

    It was a surprise for me when Suleiman trying to refer to the ” died” Eritrean constitution. His boss DIA already nullified the constitution may 2014. So, why is he referring the constitution ? I hope to get the answer from him. Peace !

  • Wedifre May 6, 2015

    Dear Simon and Semere,

    Please try to ignore the ” DISTORTIONERS”
    There was no point that connotates any religious issue in the article of Iseyas Asfaha but because he was properly exposing the TALKING DEAD supporters of HIGDEF he has to destort us.
    Please ignore those intentional fools. Their days are counted!!!!
