On the 1st of February, 2013, Eritreans from all over the United Kingdom flocked in numbers to London to take part in the second round demonstration that took place in front of the PFDJ embassy, in support of the 21st January Eritrean Defense Forces courageous movement for democratic change (Operation Forto). Before the series of demonstrations that were held within one week, Eritrean youth in London stormed the PFDJ embassy to show their support to the Armed Forces Movement for Change and demand immediate removal of the PFDJ tyrannical system. The interviews featured in these three parts reflect the determination of Eritreans for democratic change. This is just the beginning; more are to come. Let’s keep the momentum; the finishing line is nearer that ever before. The Eritrean people should get back its hijacked freedom soon!

I must admit I still have to watch the uploaded videos but I am confused in your article you said ” Eritrean youth in London stormed the PFDJ embassy” let me correct you if its an honest mistake.
1.It is not PFDJ Embassy it belongs to everyone who is Eritrean,hence it is an Eritrean Embassy. Otherwise you will be trespassing as it only belongs to PFDJ, further more nobody asked you for ID or weather you belong to PFDJ before you where let in. You could even hear in one of your videos inside the embassy people saying “this is our house” well does this mean you guys are PFDJ?
2.Did you STORM it or were you let in peacefully? , because in the videos you uploaded people are saying we entered(i.e the Eritrean Embassy) peacefully also people who participated “in the occupay the Embassy ” are writing in their articles that they entered peacefully.

Hi selam
THE YOUTH STORM THE HGDEF EMASSY BUT THIS IS EMBASSY HAVE KNOWN BY ERITREAN EMBASSY BY UK . AS FAR AS WE HAVE KNOWN THIS EMBASSY DO NOT REPRESENT ALL ERITREAN WHO LIVE IN UK EXCEPT THOSE WHO FOLLOW THE POLICE OF HGDEF REGIME. YES THE YOUTH SAID TO THE POLICE WE ENTER PEACEFULL BECAUSE THE DO NOT WANT TO BE SEEN BREAKING THE LAW AND THEY HAVE TO SAY THAT ERITREAN EMBASSY OTHER WISE THE UK POLICE DO NOT KNOW THAT EMBASSY IS THE BUSINESS SHOP OF HGDEF. EVERYBODY KNOW THAT ERITREAN EMBASSY IS HGDEF BUSINESS SHOP TO COLLECT ILLEGAL 2 PERCENT FROM OUR PEOPLE BY INTEMEDATE THEM AND REFUSE THEM TO GIVE ENTERY VISA FOR THEIR CHILDREN.
HOPEFULL YOU UNDERSTAND MY POINT AS I SAID THERE IS NOT ERITREAN EMBASSY AT THE MOMENT BUT WE WILL HAVE ERITREAN EMBASSY THAT SERVE ALL ERITREAN WITHOUT DESCRIMENATION AND INTEMEDATION IN THE FREE ERITREA VERY SOON
LONG LIVE FOR ERITREAN DEFENCE FORTO

Isais Afewerki: Your Ten Weaknesses
1. You do not listen to those you lead. Your mind is already made up and you just charge ahead causing misery, suffering and death.
2. You just rule by discouraging, belittling, coercing and bulling others. Always on the lookout to find fault in your stooges so that you keep them on the check to do your evil plans even against their conscience.
3. You ask others verbally to do the dirty works for you with no trace of paper works. You don’t have the courage to be ruled by the law.
4. You think you know it all and behave as if you already have the answers.
5. You are consciously blind to the current situation and trying to solve the wrong problems in the wrong way
6. You are overcome by greed of power and you could not make a courageous decision to hand power to its rightful owners….the PEOPLE of ERITREA.
7. You prefer to keep things as they are, still following the well-worn path, even if the system is not working at all.
8. You keep your inner circle in their place and constantly remind them who the boss is….through the threat of ‘freezing’, bulling, imprisonment, and murder.
9. You are motivated by force. You cajole, intimidate, threaten and issue ultimatums to those who side with the PEOPLE or show sympathy to the PEOPLE.
10. You have always been sabotaging the successes of others and you would not like to see anyone in ERITREA shinning …as you feel…. THREATENED. You would not like to see in your lifetime anyone to be considered by the PEOPLE as an alternative to your rule.
Haben February 8, 2013
11. You are cruel, Hitler like, you torture and imprison without any justice.
12. You have destroyed the moral fabric of the country by creating divisions among the people and families.
13. You betrayed Eritreans, and you betrayed yourself by not staying true to yourself.
14. You are diplomatically inept and incapable of solving easy problems by negotiation.
15. your so called wisdom is fooling the people with your lies and deception.
We want you out and let the people have say.

Woyane dogs and the Sudanized elements have very little to do with Eritrea.
ahmed Saleh February 8, 2013
Weyane dogs and sudanized elements show courage to speak up
for the weak and against injustices than HGDF dogs and Nehna-Nsu
elements zombies who sugarcoat issues with no shame far from facts .
History taught us that selected brave men/women fought to bring
independence and the same goes at this moment on the battle for
change . We are on a new era where the silent majority began to
rise up demanding for democratic reform .
VIVA ERITREANS , keep the momentum going on the promise
we vow for our martyrs to safeguard Eritrean people interest .

“They wanted it all (the government of Eritrea) and they didn’t want to share (and even treat their people worst then animals)so in the end they are going to loose ALL!”

The Truth
ahmed Saleh February 8, 2013
If you try to get answer about fault finding instead you direct to
Selam who proved herself the concern and love of her ordinary
people , you should ask those poor victims “dead or alive ” family
members to understand deeply their pain . To fight against evil
doers is the work of God fearing people nothing else and we are
proud of such kind of people in our circle . At least they show good
example to young generation as mentors to stand firm for themselves
on what they believe .

Dear President Isais Afewerki
Please ask this question. Why was King David known to be “a man after God’s own heart?”
The Strength of a Good Leader is in the quality of his/her heart that
1. Fears God and delights in him
2. Longs for wisdom and counsel
3. Does justice
4. Loves kindness
5. Respects human freedom
6. Stands for human dignity
7. Thrives to improve human well being
8. Understands human limitations
9. Lives and let’s live in peace
10. Acknowledges once shortcomings and accounts for its actions or lack of it. And disdains pride and arrogance
