Bazen aka Teklay would you please forget Eritrea ?
Whether the revolution was good or bad it’s something for Eritreans to tell.
You are a Tigreyan so mind your business. If you have problems with Tigreyans because you were born or lived in Eritrea, then you better decide were to belong. But as long as you continue insulting the Eritrean Revolution, there is no place for you among us. There is no way you can have Eritrea without it’s nationalist history and true identity.
