The author of the article is a known anti amanuel and assenna (those those who are members of EYCS facebook group know about this guy. His message always are anti amanuel he even created and account under “Eritrea Media watch” to watch demo.archive.assenna.com. My question is to amanuel, didnt you know who the author is. How did you manage to fool Amanuel? By the way in facebook he always praise Elsa who ever comes after the author bark like mad dog:)
everbody of us needs honest and contsructive advisers sometimes.
I don’t know, what is going on in your foundation but you need to clear something soon – before assenna is damaged much more.
Are you doing all the work alone or are there more people who affect the decisions of assenna???
Who decides which articles get published or not – and what are the criteria?
Who decides which comment are deleted or not – and what are the criteria?
What are the rules for joining assenna (forums)?
An the most important question after my opinion:
What do you accept at demo.archive.assenna.com and where is the limitation?
YOU as the hoster are the one who has the moral and factual right to assign the criteria!!!
As beeing democratical doesn’t mean, to have no limitations – it also means to prevent democracy.
But rules and criteria must be clear and valid for EVERYONE on of us.
Anyway, keep it up! And if you detected some faults at, congratulations!
Don’t give up – for detected faults give us the chance to improve…
Dear Selamawit2,
You are raising some important questions which deserve answers. You will get answers. However, you will have to be a little patient because Assenna Foundation is currently trying to amend its guideline which will better enable it to deal with articles and comments.
i just want to be sure if assenna is blocking some comments on issues raised up here in this forum? some of my friends are red carded from assenna website after giving their comments in the issue of Elsa Churum. if it is true it will imply a lot of negative things in the future of our country
I couldn´t understand why many people blaming Amanuel iyasu for host this kind of news. first of all he didn´t write self this article, but is another person. I believe the issue is national, so there is nothing wrong if we be informed about such kind of news through Assenna and then we debating about. Similarly i was not happy when you were blaming Meskerem and attacking Alem Goitom too, for whatever good and bad news for hosting in his website. But i do not mean Meskerem didn´t make mistake and should not to be criticized. In deed has few remarkable mistakes done for that part of the critic we practiced was ok. But i saw many of you when you attempting to expand hatter among Amanuel and Alem, and when offended for instance seeing PFDJ propaganda´s news. But Why? Don´t you know by this you were exposing only your wickedness? Because if not in Meskerem sees a news that you don´t like to hear , anyway people from other resources could also get it any information. What i mean is you have to learn and adopt democracy how it works. Don´t always adopt to hear what always like to hear only, sometimes you have to adoupt to hear other side critic and accusation even it hurts and when it even directs against you, your favourite party, organization or person as well would be directed. So when a person you hate, or a party, or a media hears criticize only to say hallelujah, but when you favourite one hears criticize to start blowing dust, which is stupidity, unfair and unacceptable.
To come to the point, in my view in this debate two issue is very clear to me. The one is, human right violation investigation duty is not individual it is national, In deed it is national and supposed to be done national by capable many citizens including Elsa, we agree.
The other accusation regarding money issue the writer talked about, I think in this point precisely the writer unknowingly exposed himself, as not for good motive and intention and fairly is criticizing the woman possible to say. Because the amount of money he blaming Elsa , comparing with costs of her remarkable humanitarian work to accomplish we assume that she could waste money, by no means should to come for such kind of doubt. Please just to reach the victimize people in need, how many times do you think she could fly and may for any invitation and seminar also you guess she travelled? Let say may 3, 4 times least. So the money this article writer blaming would it be enough even for plain ticket and hotel cost to cover without adding the possible another costs to anyone of us when traviling like that we facing, our relatives and freinds in need as that expecting help from us, thousends don´t you think they expect help from her? These and others costs if you add, do you think this article writer is healthy when doubt about money, despite other side he has a relevant argument?
Anyway from right or wrong motive the issue in point one he raised because has relevance, it is better if Elsa urgently answers about, either in letter or in interview form, best in interview with brother Amanuel Iyasu rather than with Meskerem (Naz Yemane) or others media, because since the issue is raised in Assenna i mean. so that to avoid the caused unnecessary doubt about her in many people´s mind. It also best if she make the interview with Assenna because some people by their writing as if Elsa and Assenna have conflict propagating and to attack each other as that they blackmailing by saying because confusing us, we as people we need clarity. In this way we can´t lead the struggle and archive what we wants to see. If among comrades causes conflict see, we have to be solution makers , not conflict and hatter expanders among each struggle comrade or media or organization etc as some of you partly deliberately, but some unknowingly practising. How can someone except to see in free democratic Eritrea, without Amanuel Iyasu, Elsa, Dr. Alganesh or Meron Estifanos, be Alem Goitom or Awate media, Medreks of Dr. Andebirhan or Dr. Assefaw etc? The list has no end. What a stupidity though the common enemy is one!

Truly Truly i say to you September 20, 2014
I couldn´t understand why many people blaming Amanuel iyasu for host this kind of news. first of all he didn´t write self this article, but is another person. I believe the issue is national, so there is nothing wrong if we be informed about such kind of news through Assenna and then we debating about.

But i saw many of you when you attempting to expand hatter among Amanuel and Alem, and when offended for instance seeing PFDJ propaganda´s news. But Why? Don´t you know by this you were exposing only your wickedness? Because if not in Meskerem sees a news that you don´t like to hear , anyway people from other resources could also get it any information. What i mean is you have to learn and adopt democracy how it works. Don´t always adopt to hear what always like to hear only, sometimes you have to adoupt to hear other side critic and accusation even it hurts and when it even directs against you, your favourite party, organization or person as well would be directed. So when a person you hate, or a party, or a media hears criticize only to say hallelujah, but when you favourite one hears criticize to start blowing dust, which is stupidity, unfair and unacceptable.
To come to the point, in my view in this debate two issue is very clear to me. The one is, human right violation investigation duty is not individual it is national, In deed it is national and supposed to be done national by capable many citizens including Elsa, we agree.
The other accusation regarding money issue the writer talked about, I think in this point precisely the writer unknowingly exposed himself, as not for good motive and intention and fairly is criticizing the woman possible to say. Because the amount of money he blaming Elsa , comparing with costs of her remarkable humanitarian work to accomplish we assume that she could waste money, by no means should to come for such kind of doubt. Please just to reach the victimize people in need, how many times do you think she could fly and may for any invitation and seminar also you guess she travelled? Let say may 3, 4 times least. So the money this article writer blaming would it be enough even for plain ticket and hotel cost to cover without adding the possible another costs to anyone of us when traviling like that we facing, our relatives and freinds in need as that expecting help from us, thousends don´t you think they expect help from her? These and others costs if you add, do you think this article writer is healthy when doubt about money, despite other side he has a relevant argument?
Anyway from right or wrong motive the issue in point one he raised because has relevance, it is better if Elsa urgently answers about, either in letter or in interview form, best in interview with brother Amanuel Iyasu rather than with Meskerem (Naz Yemane) or others media, because since the issue is raised in Assenna i mean. so that to avoid the caused unnecessary doubt about her in many people´s mind. It also best if she make the interview with Assenna because some people by their writing as if Elsa and Assenna have conflict propagating and to attack each other as that they blackmailing by saying because confusing us, we as people we need clarity. In this way we can´t lead the struggle and archive what we wants to see. If among comrades causes conflict see, we have to be solution makers , not conflict and hatter expanders among each struggle comrade or media or organization etc as some of you partly deliberately, but some unknowingly practising. How can someone except to see in free democratic Eritrea, without Amanuel Iyasu, Elsa, Dr. Alganesh or Meron Estifanos, be Alem Goitom or Awate media, Medreks of Dr. Andebirhan or Dr. Assefaw etc?
