If you are wondering how DIA became a totalitarian, we should remember that there were many Eritreans – even now, there are many – who believe that until Eritrea gets on firm footing, it doesn’t need political pluralism and elections : it needs a “strong leader” who will focus laser-like on the development of Eritrea.
They don’t see any contradiction at all in calling for authoritarianism in Eritrea while living in the freedom of the West because, to them, this is like pointing out that it snows in Europe and it rains in Eritrea. So, they will say, what’s your point? The simple point is a dictator and authoritarianism in Eritrea was allowed unchallenged.
