    Guys alexander pushikin statue was donated by the city of moscow. It was donated for free, no money was payed for it.
    Please stop lies. I don’t support Hgdef, but when you as a reporter dis inform us, I find it unacceptable.

    Why is Meskerem(Meshrefet) keeping quit? Barking and jumping Rusha is coming to Eritrea the last few weeks. So what happen now when Rasha is heading to Ethiopia? Eye Meshrefet!!!!

      Russia not Rasha LOL

  • jgna August 25, 2014

    Dear Tes, it was just a fabricated propoganda. Russia can not go into conflict with Ethiopia. And Ethiopia’s influence in Africa and in thw world is very high. Do not forget that the African Union’s head quarter is located in Addis (i.e addis is the political capital of Africa). So, conflict with Ethiopia means conflict with the whole of Africa. I do not see any point for russia to come to red sea and make millitary exercise there. No benefit at all. plus, russia is sunctioned by EU, US, Australia, canada, and many other countries. so, it is under tension. They do not want to antagonize with Africa. in terms of economy, Ethiopia is by far more attractive than eritrea. If at all they want to establish a military station in the red sea, they should get the good will and green light not only from eritrea but also from Ethiopia.

    My thanks to the writer of this opinion piece. This is a good current news analysis. If the need comes, for the Russians, to choose between Ethiopia and Eritrea on any political, economic and Geo-strategic variables, the Russians will always choose the current Ethiopia than the Eritrea that may not last long as nation in light of what it is going in Eritrea and the fratricidal and lame Eritrean opposition.

    The Eritrean government said this week that it supports Egypt’s stance over a colonial-era treaty that granted Egypt a right to utilise the lions share of Nile river’s water resources.

    The above is rpeatedly said in Cairo directly by isaias or by the Foreign minister special Message from the president in 201o, 2012 and 2014. The difference is in all those Three times Egypt has been led by Three different presidents.

    Do the now egyptians know the creature of their old fathers is making hell for them? Do they realy know that isaias wants to you them? He is addicted Money and Power created in this fashion. Other wise he could have gotten 10 times better by his hard working People. If he lives lovishly by 2% contributed then how could have been by 100% from the majority.

    And now he wants to bring Russia in to the war of ethio-eri. Did he forget how many we have lost in the 70s and 80s? He made a Speech about nile belonging to Egypt in cairo. He shocked both egyptians and africans in different ways. And now what will be his grand Speech in Moscow? ‘Russia can not seat and look its ethnic People divided in to two countries (russia and ukraine) and we eritreans will do all Our best to end this athrocities commited on Russia by the west’?

    The egyptians seams to know isaias is not the right way to make a deal about nile. The right way is to discuss With right owners of the water ie both sudan and ethiopia.

    His devilish work and experience United all east africans and isolated more eritea and eritreans. It is not only he makes life for eritreans at home horrible but he wants them to be dragged in to war. Eritreans work with the neighboring countries and finish this lousy earthly diabilos of Ours.

      Tamrat Tamrat ,

      You are level headed with far sighted vision, your comments say so ,I believe a big share of the credit goes to EPRDF govet…, slow for war & very patient,..the only time MELES warned about war was towards egypt,when it was found out that Egypt was planning to bombard the Nile dam plan…These were his words…
      “EGYPTIANS ARE NOT FOOLS, THEY KNOW WHEN ANY FOREIGN POWER INTENDS TO MESS WITH ETHIOPIANS ;THEY KNOW THJAT THEY WILL BE WIPED WITHOUT A SINGLE SOLDIER LEFT TO REPORT .

      Let me translate the hidden message ,Tigrawot live & still live upto the Eritrean highlands (no,no—do not twist my words ,it is another Eritrea ,OUR ERITREA HAS ALWAYS BEEN A COUNTRY SINCE ADAM & EVE)..It is another Eritrea…anyways ,let me continue…
      The Egyptians in the 1800s waged a war from Keren (again another Keren)to continue spread Their religion of peace /Islam with a sword..the Jeganu Tegaru came from Tigrai & this instruction was given to the volunteer army-
      THESE ARABS CAME TO DESTROTY OUR COUNTRY & RELIGION ,THEY DO NOT DESERVE MERCY ,YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE PRISONERS OF THIS INVADERS..THEREFORE EVEN THE EGHYPTIAN SOLDIERS THAT WERE SURRENDERING WERE NOT ALLOWED AND WERE WIPED OUT BY THE ARMY OF OUR FATHERS FROM TIGRAY..That was what Meles was reffering..And he threatened only because Egypt was opn the way of Ethiopians war on poverty ..Because Meles said,DERG WAS CRUEL BUT MORE CRUEL IS POVERTY….THAT IS WHY ETHIOPIA IS WINNING ECONOMICALLY ,TECHNOLOGICALLY ,PEACE ON THE REGION..etc..AGAIN I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE ETHIOPIA OF WEYANE ,NO IT IS ANOTHER ETHIOPIA ,NEAR ALASKA…..
      I AM ASHAMED OF MY FAKE ERITREAN HISTORY !!!

        You seems to be smart, but you don’t know who the Eritrean people are. You call our ancestors’ land and country, A “FORGED LAND”. You need to read and research the original population of North East Africa or Horn of Africa. Including the current day Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Sudan and even Egypt. If you think Eritrea is a “FORGED LAND” So do the rest of them. Why single out our country as “FORGED LAND”, when our country was the main settlement region for the Horn of Africa POPULATION. Then you should also say Ethiopia is a “FORGED LAND” as well. Very soon we will see the biggest forged land of all. The Tigray region or territory. That is the mother of all FORGED LANDS.

        Seriously, what is wrong with you? you are repeating this outdated stereotype view of the few as “Eritreans claim superiority over the rest of African people” I though you are educated enough to restrained yourself from labeling the entire Eritrean society as egotist. You should know better not to grossly generalize negative opinion of a few to the rest of our people. Is that your belief “Asmara is equivalent to saying Eritrea” Do you believe that? It is mind boggling an “educated” and “insightful” man is acting stupid, small minded, reckless in his use of words, and endangering the Eritrean people at the worst time of their lives. It seems you are getting carried away with insulting the good Eritrean people. Your words has consequence to our people. What are you doing? Do you think,Eritrean people have a different opinion about the rest of African people than the of Ethiopian or Tigrayan people? have you ever been around Ethiopian or Tigrayan at all? If you want to be relevant to the Eritrean cause, you should restrain yourself from gross generalization. I used to think you are a frustrated, but smart Eritrean man. Now, I am not so sure. I will keep my eye on you.

    Dear Assena, I do not understand your points. Eritrea is an independent country. Eritrea has a right to make relationship with any country. Ethiopia has its own way of making relationship with Russia. Every country build relationship with any country according their interst. why does Assena see everything about Eritrea negatively. Eritrea is not part of Ethiopia and Eritrea will make relationship according its policy and intrest. Ethiopia have relationship with most of the countries in the world because it has been independent for long time. Eritrea is just been 20 plus years as independent country. it has a long way to go. There are countries do not know Eritrea and do not know what they can get from Eritrea. The world is still learning about Eritrea. Russia is not one country /eritrea has to make a deal with.

      you see, eritrea have never made polotics for etitrean benrfit or benefit for the region.
      what is the benefit of eritrea that the Rusdians are doing military exersise in eritrea red sea area and they are proud of it.
      1. For me eritrean poloticians are still children, they don’t knowcwhat they want, themself with thier foolish eritrean web site September was highly advertised that rusdians soilders will do military exersise in red sea area which belongs to eritrea.
      This is childish and stupied advertisment not feverable even gor eritrea and eritreans.
      Myself I don’t see the benefit of etitrea and eritreans.
      but it is clear , they are doing to my angry the Ameticans and make afreid the ethiopians, by advertising the Russians are coming , the Russians coming, they are friends ofveritrean governament, look we have Rusdian friends and we shall give them the Red sea to them. We want to sale it to america they rufuse us now we shall sale it to Russia.
      2. After 23 years , in power eritrean government is so behind that he could
      not understand any thing about polotics, they thing polotic is like drinking suwa in Geza Burhanu or Abashawel and make love after get drunker.
      you Mr, Hakee Zefatu, you want Assena to be like you undomocratic and rifuse to write this articles like all the web site who serve the regime , snd they say they are the opposition to cit eritreans. You like such web sites, myself I agree with Assena, . The whole week I have seen in septembr,com an articl as the Russians are coming to help eritrea than to do simple military exersise.
      I would like to tell you without the consent of ethiopia no power can use the red sea, eritreans can say what they want.
      The narrow mind of eritreans need help, to exercise to do polotics not mess.

    Asghedom, I think you misunderstood me. Eritrea as a country not the leadership have a right to exercise who Eritrea wants to be friend with. There are country do not know Eritrea and there are country who knows about Eritrean and they can make relationship according their interest. Eritrea is open to relationship with the world community for its own interest. It cou

      my Brother Hakee Zefetu,
      a regime in Eritrea is frustrate regime, because all his action is anti Ethiopia.
      there is no any interest of Eritrean people to be against Ethiopia and Ethiopians, in contrary we have to be good friends if not good brothers because we are brothers. the mess between these country and brothers has been created by people who don’t understand our relationship between us.
      I agree with you Eritrean can decided what they want but they should agree even with their neighbors if it is good or bad.
      I am of these idea.
      Eritrean government has no any authority to decided what should do on Eritrea
      1. the actual government in power have no authority to decided or to say any thing on Eritrea destiny because he don’t represent Eritreans
      2. Eritrea is a country with out constitution
      3. is a country with out parliament
      4. a country without low and order
      5, a country with out policy
      6. in few words a government made by BEGAMIDOS SHEFATU
      when Eritrea will have a constitutional government elected by Eritrean people then you are right but now we don’t have a single of the above detailed so these government dose not represent Eritreans
      2.

  • Hakee zefatu August 26, 2014

    Eritrea relationship with other country is not base on the Ethiopians. Eritrean is a country which can have relationship with any country. The chose might not be the right one for Eritrea. Ethiopia a different country what their needs might be different than Eritrea. If Russia want to have a relationship with Eritrea because of the red sea its their interest of Eritrea. Eritrea might have some other interest on Russia it could be military, Economical or Education. If all these are met Eritrea can exercise its independent as it wish. Every country make a chose according their interest] and it is not always right. Libya made a relationship with western world after 20 plus years and they opened up to the west but you know what happen after that. To some people it was a right choice for Libya and for Libya it was not a choice of development but it was a choice of destruction. The Iranians and the Israelis want to have a relationship with Eritrea. Their interest might be different and the interest of Eritrea can be according the interest of each country. These two countries can not stand each other but they have some kind interest of Eritrea. Eritrean can accommodate both countries according their needs.

  • Truly Truly i say to you August 27, 2014

    Reading the comments can anyone wonder if the vast majority did not like to trust and side with the oppositions? Myself as much as i can was hatting the blind supporters stand for their blind nationalism and zero tolerance against of you., but by disguising yourself as like an Eritrean, those of you wolf with ship skin to that you writings comment reading , i found it my self, as i am the one who is at most doomed , too slow to understand the behaviour, the eye colour and mission´s of you wolves with ship skin.
    Anyway to come to the point, first of all the Puschkin´s status for erected in Asmara there is nothing wrong. Your problem is in your poor soul lower scale because you valuing the other nations standard, you might not understand that. But Russia is wealthy country, rich in culture, economy and social. So do not that much wonder if you see one civilized society gives big value for culture, specially Russians are very known in this matter. But like Puschkin respected why the regime did not like respect many of our heroes, for example Kibur Woldeab W/ Mariam, Ibrahim Sultan, Kebere, and many war heroes, it is the big question. But the answer is easy, those in power are Anti Eritreans nationalism.
    The second may the third point i like to give a little opinion about is this:- You exaggerating to much as if Russia has big economical interest in Ethiopia? What economical interest is that?A flower export? A half million Dollar export? K1! Ki! Ki ! Please stop your ridicle! What is by the way your nation pride biggest export from coffee annual income? Would it be more than 250, million dollar? Anyway it is my pleasure Ethiopia in whatever resource blessed. You said again .African Union is in Addis Abeba located. So what? So, conflict with Ethiopia means conflict with the whole of Africa. Please stop you mockery! What is for Russia African Union? I do not like to mention about others, but i believe more than all your trash points you raised Geo political interest has more value to Russia, if you like. So if they need they could get it easily from Eritrea. But the question is again, Do the regime in Eritrea is working for the interest of our nation? The answer is big “No!” Please don´t give Ethiopia power beyond its capacity. It is Africa´s miserable land like us.
    I tell you let alone with Russia influence and support even Eritrea will be supported by Egypt with 3, 4 Mig Jets only a lot of economical damage for instance with a lot of billion dollars that you building Grand-Ethiopian-Renaissance-Dam could be easily destroyed. As i said before, i said that not because i like to see this happen, but to show animosity, jealousy, threat finally that cause war how dangerous it is.
    Instead Ethiopia and Eritrea as closed neighbours with a lot of cultural, religious and with blood related people, Normally we suposed to use it our blood relation all for good, then were be both profitable and blessed. Normally Ethiopia and Eritrea if they couldn´t understand their blood relation to use it for good, learning from that Almighty God that coming highest wisdom teachings for instance in book Of Ruth from that written history, though Ruth and Naomi despite at the beginning both nothing have relation in race or religion, but finally for love as they come closed families by making covenant and said “your people is my people,your God is my God” (Read Ruth 1, 16 better the whole chapter), at least from Pushkin´s status we have to learn something useful massage. Using individual person´s a little blood relation how to bring cloth two nations. That is what Russians did. For that normally we have to thank them, instead criticize.

    • Tamrat Tamrat August 27, 2014

      I dont think you have a good knowladg of economy of east africa.

      Eritrea Gdp for 2014 3 billion dollars
      Export = 300 million dollars
      Import = 1 billion dollars

      Ethiopia gdp for 2014 118 billion dollars
      Export = 3 billion dollars
      Import = 10 billion dollars

      Both of them could have make it 10 times double but thw war politics they are ingaging destroy the potential they have.

      And if China, japan and turcky is intersted in The economy of Ethiopia, why not Russia.

      So one of the problme of eritreans is this distorted view of Ethiopia. Instead of investing in Ethipias relation they always redicule Ethiopia. Now the reality and what eritreans like ‘Trully’ have is alaming. If Ethiopia has a bad agenda for Eritrea then eritreans like Trully will kill Eritrea stand till by rediculing Ethiopia. Anyway Ethipia has no such plan because it has responsibilty to look after the 118 billion dollars activities and is planning to double it by 2025. It is possible if there is Peace and Eritrea dont send its imaginary mig from Egypt. By the way Egypt is not stupid to give or borrow mig for isayas. After all what is the use, they will park it in Saud or djbouti.
