Dawit,
First I thought I should leave alone such thoughts; but then, for some reason I felt sorry for your wrong understanding of Badme’s history. Dawit, one of your main problem is putting everything you heard in one basket. when that happens, trust me it lucks reality or call it legitimacy of engagement.
Now let us see where your problem lies:
To avoid ambiguity I will put aside the Ethiopian friendship with the Eritrea people.
You said, in the year 1995, Weyane started deporting Eritreans. Sir, with all due respect where did you acquire this information? For your understanding it was your government who started deporting Ethiopian citizens years before that. If you were not born back then you are excused, otherwise don’t try to twist history. Second, when it comes to Badme I see many of you are obsessed. Do you think your government fought the war to defend Badme as well as the boundary ?If your answer is “yes” to the question, you get an “F” in history. The cause of the war had never been boundary issue. As a matter of fact it was EPLF who allowed TPLF to secure and administrate Badme during the gedli days. Sir, this is well documented. Back then TPLF drove out Badme residents with the blessing of your president.
Regarding deportation: Of course, no one is happy that did happen.To make that matter worse it was done by both sides. For so, you can not blame one side and set free the other.Last but not least information- while the population of Eritrea is crying for the whole nation but you prefer to cry for Badme alone, please do so till your tears dry out.

I would like to thank you to all of you for your responses in general. That’s what dialogue is about. I really don’t respond on the responses of my articles, due to lack of time.
1)Selam Abiel, you asked me some questions.AS to the causality of our refugees, we felt so sad and we said Ethiopia should not use such extra force. As how it started, it was intended for the memory of the victims of our refugees in the Mediterranean Sea. It should not be extended to demonstration. If needed, they had to do it on another time by asking permission. That is the law of their country. As to the corruption, I agree with you there is corruption in the country. Leave alone in the refugee camp, even in the capital city Addis Ababa, the government is suffering from it. Anyhow it was initiated by a wrong group. It shouldn’t happen like that.
I mentioned Andebirhan, ex-ambassador in Brussels. I cannot tell you what he did in the University of Asmara. I believe you ready know it. He is regional(awrajawi). He was anti G15. He was anti menkae. And he does’t believe in fundamental change. May be he does not like Isaias. But the Eritrean people are not struggling against individuals, but against the system(HIGDEF).
Same Asefaw Tekest is against Isaias but not against HIGDEF. I am not saying that we have to exclude them but we should be careful of their political stand. They can avert our struggle.
2)Selam Berhet, you are right. But I think there is bit difference between radical and fundamental. We can bring a fundamental change either by using a radical revolution or liberal revolution. Anyhow I am not sure about the difference of these twee terms(people can discuss on it).
3)Selam Letina, Oh Ja! I agree with you. We have to build an inclusive democratic system in which every citizen enjoys his or her right. But my worryness is that some power hungry people can change the objective of our vision. We have learned a lot from our present dictatorship.
As to the commentators of the supporters of the regime, what can I respond them? Even they don’t have the slightest rational argument. No sense full reasoning. I am sorry to say that. Had they good arguments, I would like to deal with them in dialogue. Please read their comments.

Dear Adhanom,
Thank you so much for ur response and above all ur belief in dialog.
Yes there can be some Individuals who was missionaries of the regime who were trying to abuse the demonstration our families in the refuge camps in Ethiopia, what about the aftermath action of the Ethiopian authorities to take such excessive action. Still there pertains fear in the camps, I think this is being done deliberately. Above all what can we expect from our neighbors, it is the so called our government is dumping us.
Regarding the awurajawunet of ato Andebrhan, I can not accuse him as wegenawi because of his action in the University. The University was in mess due to the acute conflict between two rival awurajatat and any one who had assigned to lead the university could have taken similar action. For your information the actions take by the so called Dr. Araya Tsegay was the harshest. He fires many intellectuals but no one talks about him. I was expecting you to say something about MOHAYEDIN SHENGEN, to to no avail.
Hope in future you will come with such interesting topics.

Mr Dawit,
I wonder for your comment, Whoever you say or your Government but Badme is once and forever given to Eritrea. As you said, if the war was not started because of border conflict, why was your Weyane announced as a victory to Badme. Don’t be a puppet like your Government Weyane, Eri people will never cry by Weyane puppets,,,

1.Tenor of Adhanom Fitiwi’s Article
a) The title of the article is clear: “Basic change based on meetings of former combatants of people’s front- welcome initiative” [not elegant translation]
b) Hopeful sign that Eritrean Youths around the globe are taking initiative for changes by themselves
c) Freedom of expression in Internet websites and by notable individuals
d) Relationship between Ethiopia and Eritrea opposition groups
2.Commentary
Initiative for change [a) & b) above]:
Initiative for change has been recurring theme by Eritrean politics, which has grown to about forty (40) opposition parties and over fifty (50) civic organizations [Issayas would be tickled to death !!! ], presumably all of them planning for the SAME goal. Let us be serious. Proliferation of parties and calling on admirable combatants of the yesteryears would not cut the cake or ‘himbasha’ (as the cliché goes). If change is to come in Eritrea, the new generation (Eritrean Youths) should take the lead in their own up-to-date analysis with full realization of the interdependent nature of THEIR world – not of years gone by. It is their destiny. As such, they should not be shackled by outdated ideas and sentimentality, as romantic as it may be. If the new generation makes mistakes along the way, so be it! Only a dead person makes no mistake. Eritrea should not be stagnant in the old world. Whatever happened in the past, it should be left for history – hopefully not fabricated or ameliorated!
Eritrea must have faith in the new generation. Otherwise it will remain stagnant and consequently toxic. To digress a little bit: a commentator (apparently famous) in the Eri Internet branded the Eritrean Youths as “misguided, gullible, restless, and confused” for the simple reason that they were exercising their natural rights of questioning the past, and for daring to arrive at a differing view that was not palatable to the learned fellow. Another one of the same mind – seemingly with uncontrollable confidence on himself –was out of range with a clear message for those who do not fall in line: “the neo-Nazi kebessa land grabbers can go to mama Ethiopia and leave our Eritrea to us”! Just like that! Imagine! A society with long history and culture would just pack and trek southward, as refugees, begging for a home! Eritrea has a deep problem.
This way or that way, the ancient cancerous disease of religion/identity in Eritrea must be faced squarely, ‘today not tomorrow.’ It can only be done by free minds of the new breed, who are free and fed-up with the old toxic way of doing business.
Freedom of expression [c) above]
Freedom of expression is not confined to certain people and taboo to others. All are entitled to their own feelings, opinions and beliefs. It then follows that any Internet website; any persons of past and present; and any group can, and must, have their own opinions without being branded with labels and subjected to character assassination, as we have seen it in some ‘respectable’ websites. Not to put this cardinal natural right into practice is a shameful contradiction to the constant trumpeting of Freedom of Expression as a slogan. Eritreans must learn to be comfortable with differing opinions. Less than this is tantamount to inviting disintegration of Eritrea. But then, that may not be a choice – noting the three diseases of religion, awrajanet, and racism always present as insurance for progression into disintegration. Or, is it a “curse”?
Relation with Ethiopia [d)above]
Good relation with thy neighbor is a blessing. In Eritrea such a posture with Ethiopia is looked upon with suspicion as Christians’ plot against the old wishes of the Muslims. Once again, let us be honest: The 30-year war that devoured about three-hundred thousand (300,000) lives and a complete destruction of a country was precisely on: i) religious ground; and ii) lunatic military adventure of a 21-year old, first-year college drop-out, who forged a so-called “liberation” force in his own image to become self-made president thereof. Extraordinarily, both factions, though opposed to each other, were nevertheless colluded with the pretext of struggling for liberation of mother Eritrea. Both ‘sheeTaras’ were confident they would meet their respective objective. Miraculously, Eritreans fell for the romantic dream, body and soul, and gave their lives freely, without question! Never had so many sacrificed their lives for so nothing. Whether it was a manifestation of blind ‘bravery, courage, devotion, glory, love, pride, valor, etc’ OR the greatest hoax that was ever perpetrated, and colluded, in the name of liberation, Eritrea is on its death bed. It seems so farfetched, to say so. But the world has already witnessed it today as the greatest example of TRAGEDY.
In contrast, we see the good will of Ethiopia to accommodate Eritrean students in their universities; providing Eritrean refugees with appropriate accommodation; making it possible for various Eritrean political groups to live and have their own offices therein; and in general treating Eritreans as brethren – and indeed they have always been so for time immemorial. Nowadays, individual Eritreans are silently moving/travelling to Ethiopia to relive their old life style and perhaps, with luck, to also claim their ‘lost paradise’. What is amazing is the conversion of ‘hardened’ Eritreans, with seemingly uncontrollable emotion for their little Eritrea, are now quietly and serenely enjoying Life in the old “enemy” country ( “gidefuna endoe” is their shelter). It is always an amazing phenomenon that Eritrea is incapable to see where its interest lies. Is it another factor in favour of a “curse” ?
3. Conclusion
In an interdependent world of today, the destiny of Eritrea will be determined by external forces, as it has always been accustomed to >>> consider it as a forecast from a novice political ‘weather’ man
