A Brave Eritrean Pilot and The Real Great Escape

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't. ~Mark Twain   When someone asks what my favorite childhood movie is, The Great Escape sticks out in my mind.

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.

~Mark Twain

 

When someone asks what my favorite childhood movie is, The Great Escape sticks out in my mind. The Great Escape is based on a true story, with a usual Hollywood spin of a British Air Force pilot, Roger Joyce Bushell, and other allied airmen whose planes crashed on German territory. The movie depicts one of the most famous World War II stories and it shows how several prisoners of war from America, Britain and Australia made an extraordinary breakout from Nazi’s high-security POW camp. This action packed adventure features Steve McQueen, one of the most popular movie stars of all times, with many classic scenes including a memorable motorcycle jump attempt over a barbwire fence and a large amount of German military resources in hot pursuit of the escapees.

The whole escape was timed precisely to the split second testifying to the brilliance of Bushell who masterminded the major plan. Known as “Big X,” Bushell’s character Bartlett succeeded in slipping 76 men out of that notorious prison through a tunnel. Unfortunately, all but three of the escapees were recaptured and Bushell was among the 50 captured prisoners whom Hitler had personally ordered to be executed.

My memories of the movie were rekindled a couple of months ago when I read the remarkable news about Dejen, an Eritrean air force pilot, who managed to escape from a high security Eritrean prison after been incarcerated for 15 years. Dejen’s astounding escape not only brought back memories of the movie but also images from my past; the times, the places, the people and the thoughts that are engraved very deep in my psyche.

I remember our regular Wednesday movie nights with hundreds of school kids sitting in lines on the bank of a riverbed (ruba), a 32 inch wide TV monitor raised high in front of us and a portable generator roaring from several hundred feet to power both the monitor and the VCR. I can continue reminiscing about life in the Revolution School but there is nothing better that I can recollect than watching those videos, which were our only gateway to the outside world.

Most certainly, Dejen was among those hundreds of kids from the Revolution School who were lined up to watch The Great Escape. Little did he know that one day he was going to be betrayed by the very people he trusted, thrown into prison and 15 years later make an extraordinary escape in a similar fashion as the action hero he once watched as a hopeful child. In fact, it is astonishing to see that Dejen’s real story is more similar to the exaggerated actions of the main hero than the true story of an individual the movie is based on. Most characters featured in The Great Escape were composites of two or more real-life individuals and some of the actions in the movie never took place in reality. For instance, Bushell was portrayed as a composite of two people who took part in the real escape. He was the mastermind of the whole escape but he was captured the day after he slipped out of the camp at a nearby train station and was consequentlyexecuted by the Nazis. The character Virgil Hilts, played by Steve McQueen was based on the story of retired US Air Force pilot Major General David M. Jones. In reality, David helped in digging one of the escape tunnels but he never fled the prison camp let alone hijacking a motorcycle and attempting to jump over a barbwire fence. He was rescued by Allied Forces at the end of the war.

Dejen’s real-life inspiring story consists of making split second and life-threatening decisions, hijacking a car, slipping and breaking through four levels of high-security posts and driving the car to safety while being chased and shot at. He quickly found his way out of a crowded city and almost tumbled down a sheer cliff. He passed all these obstacles in a broad day light while hundreds of security and military personnel were deployed to look for him. Finally, he managed to get to safety after suffering 15 years of imprisonment, 2 of which were in dark solitary confinement. As is the case with many Eritrea’s political prisoners, Dejen’s family did not know if he was dead or alive for years. Forced to listen to other prisoners’ screams of torture, not knowing if he would survive and the torment of betrayal by his own people did not discourage this exceptional pilot from the possibility of freedom. Listening to Dejen narrating his ordeal in a calm, clear and composed manner shows those cruel criminals who subjected him to years of terror and neglect didn’t break his spirit.

One day even more information about his darkest hours and details about his escape will unfold. The information we have so far is enough to realize Dejen has won his freedom with profound courage, mental preparedness and determination, and he has undoubtedly masterminded his own escape plan, proving that if Hollywood was to make a movie about him there would be absolutely no need for any spin to ramp up our interest and emotions.

 

Justice Will Prevail!

    Dejen made a history and this is for sure one of the biggest blow to PFDJ gangs. I would recommend similar tactics should be applied by the rest of the prisoners to free themselves because no Eritrean seem to show enough will and courage to conduct organized operation to free prisoners like in the past when hundreds of political prisoners were freed from the Derg regime.

    stand for your freedom at least is wise, stand for other is also a wise decision. TOday eritreans are dying every where and many are still dancing like a fish until his family killed by hgdf. Lets learn from others and open our eyes.

    “የኢትዮጵያ የሕዋ ምርምር ቴሌስኮፖች የሙከራ ስራ ጀመሩ”

    አዲስ አበባ ፣ ግንቦት 23 ፣ 2006 (ኤፍ.ቢ.ሲ.)
    ኢትዮጵያ በእንጦጦ የሕዋ ሳይንስና ቴክኖሎጂ ምርምርና ማሰልጠኛ ማዕከል ያስተከለቻቸው ሁለት የሕዋ ምርምር
    ቴሌስኮፖች የሙከራ ስራ ጀመሩ።
    የቴሌስኮፕ አምራች ከሆነው የጀርመኑ አስቴልኮ ኩባንያ በ2 ነጥብ 3 ሚሊዮን ዩሮ የተገዙት ቴሌስኮፖች ፥ አገሪቱን ከደቡብ
    አፍሪካ ቀጥሎ በአፍሪካ በሁለተኛ ደረጃ ላይ ያስቀምጧታል።
    የማዕከሉ ዋና ዳይሬክተር ዶክተር ሰለሞን በላይ እንደተናገሩት ፤ የተተከሉት ቴሌስኮፖች ኢትዮጵያ በሕዋ ሳይንስ ምርምር ተወዳዳሪ እንድትሆንና ጥልቅ የሕዋ ክፍል ድረስ በመዝለቅ መረጃ እንድታሰባስብ የሚያግዙ ናቸው።
    የመሳሪያዎቹ መተከል ለኢትዮጵያ ብቻ ሳይሆን ለምስራቅ አፍሪካ አገራት ጭምር በምርምርና ስርጸት ያለው ጠቀሜታ የጎላ መሆኑን የተናገሩት ዳይሬክተሩ ፤ በሕዋና በስነ-ከዋክብት ሳይንስ መስክ ለዘርፉ ባለሙያዎች ስልጠና ለመስጠትና ከፍተኛ የቴክኖሎጂ
    ሽግግር ለማድረግም ያስችላል ብለዋል።

    በመሆኑም ማዕከሉ ከመጪው መስከረም 2007 ዓ.ም ጀምሮ 20 የመስኩ ተማሪዎችን ለማሰልጠን በዝግጅት ላይ መሆኑን ጠቁመዋል።
    የስፔስ ሳይንስ ሶሳይቲ የኢንፎርሜሽንና ኮሙኒኬሽን ኃላፊ አቶ ምናላቸው ስማቸው በበኩላቸው ፤ ኢትዮጵያ በምስራቅ አፍሪካ በዘርፉ የተሻለ ደረጃ ላይ በመገኘቷ 14 የክፍለ አህጉሩን አገራት የሚያስተባብር የአስትሮኖሚ ልማት ጽህፈት ቤት በአዲስ አበባ
    መከፈቱን ተናግረዋል።

    ይህም ለዘርፉ ዕድገት አንዱ ማነቆ የሆነውን የተማረ የሰው ኃይል እጥረት ለመቅረፍ እንደሚያግዝ አስረድተዋል።

    በ1996 ዓም የተቋቋመው የኢትዮጵያ ስፔስ ሳይንስ ሶሳይቲ ከተለያዩ አገራት የስፔስ ሳይንስ ኤጀንሲዎች ጋር የመረጃ ልውውጥ የሚደረግበትን መንገድም እያመቻቸ ይገኛል።
    የኢትዮጵያ መንግስት በአምስት ዓመታት ጊዜ ውስጥ ለሕዋ ሳይንስ ምርምር ፣ ደህንነትና ግንኙነት የሚያገለግሉ ሶስት ሳተላይቶችን ወደ ሕዋ የማምጠቅ እቅድ አለው። END OF QUOTE

      This one sentence is = a book , For those who have a brain not head . I hate one i see a comment started by Isaias or Wedi Berad .
      Brothers and sisters Isaias is one human being like you and me and he will die like every body.Do you have any thing at hand after that.The next day the Afars will announce their independence,the Kunamas the same ,the Jhadists will cut you nick,and then you ask your Agame brothers for help ( B KOBORO ABIYAS B HIMBITAT”
      I wonder what type of brain do we have ? the Jews they can plan for 50 or 100 years ex the first Zionist congress in Basel 1897 ,,,,1948 the independence of Israel. And we including the so called intellectuals, we can not see what is in our nose . You brothers and sister please follow world events at least you have to know about the Lebanon war, the disintegration of Yugoslavia specially the war in Bosnia Herzegovina ,the war in Libya etc

        Teclay ,My nephew..,

        The things I say in a jerry springer show way..you say it in intelligent articulate way ,,,I am glad you are able to see beyond my repulsive expression in to my heart.
        That is the worst scenario for thopse who have extreme hatred for their identity..but ,they will be the first ones to find their immediate family in Adigrat & Adwa.Even if this shameless country stays intact (that I doubt very highly)..people shpuld concentrate on love to Eritreans..not on internet bravado & claim are ready to die for their people.

    Why the moderators @ assena.com always remove my comments from the discussion forum? What should i have said apart from expressing? I am afraid your actions reminds me that of hadas eritrea.

  • Abe June 2, 2014

    Dear Eritreans please let us put our selves in side the prison where our great hero was for 15 years just for a moment, and then ask our selves could we take the sufferings he had taken for such a long time?
    Dear Brothers and sisters, for how long are we waiting to free those thousands of heros like our great son Dejen?
    Please let us unite to FREE those heros who have been left to decay inside the hellish Isaias’s prison and our country using every means in our disposal. That includes every thing you think of. UNITY IS STRENGTH.
    Isaias must pay the price. He was and is our only enemy.
    Dejen sorry for letting you down for so long.
    Enough is enough

    The rumour about this ‘Great Escape’ was one of the fastest news that travelled throughout Asmara and it is still the everyday breaking news, as I heard from a friend who came from Asmara only yesterday. The immediate speculation of many people was that this must be a well organized, planned and coordinated plot in which more than 2 or 3 people were involved. I too have to admit to have had this same impression the 1st minute I heard the news. Now that the very character of the film is recounting how it really was, I am fully convinced that this was a real one-man-show. My admiration for his courage and creativity knows no limits. In the film ‘The great escape’ unlike his comrades, James Couborn had his own additional plan of taking a tool for braeking the keys of the bicycle with which he escaped the Nazis easily, whereas Dejen had to use a car prepared for him on a golden plate. I hope a time comes when this story would be filmed one day with no one but Dejen himself as the main character.
