BLACK SEPTEMBER WEEK and ERITREA’S MISSING $1 BILLION II
September 18, 2001, the dark day has become to symbolise the flickering light of hope for freedom and justice in Eritrea grew considerably dimmer. September 2001 was a make or break year for Eritrea; It was a month that marked the start of an era of one man dictatorship and political liquidation.
If we are “number one in Africa” as the self-appointed President of Eritrea Isaias Afwerki ones said, surely Eritrea then is number one in Africa maybe even the world with over 10, 000 prisoners of conscience.
To be silent and do nothing against injustice is to spread injustice. The injustice already spread to over 10,000 and most probably more an accounted prisoners of conscience and victims of senseless brutality yet to uncover.
They absolutely refused to further enable the cause of injustice by standing against PIA an his henchmen, hence sacrificing their only life for betterment of Eritrea.
As citizens of Eritrea we must set the tone for justice by speaking out for those who sacrificed everything for freedom and justice.
The flickering light of hope for freedom and justice in Eritrea is shining considerably dimmer than before 2001, but as our history and history from around the world testifies the flame of hope for freedom and justice is eternal and it can never be put out. It is just a matter of time before justice prevails over injustice ones more.
ERITREA’S MISSING $1 BILLION II (ሰራቒ ሞባአ ባዕሉ ይላፋለፍ). Part I Click Here
PIA interview (Youtube Video).
Summary note of the interview: Click here
Interviewing a tyrant is not an easy task for any aspiring journalist; especially if the tyrant is your very own boss, a well-known anti journalist, anti-intellect and anti-freedom then that makes it doubly precarious to conduct meaningful fact based question and answer interview.
The Eri-Tv journalist understood their life hangs on at the mercy of their boss, they know if they upset him in any way they might not live to see the next day. Off course they remember what happened to their fellow journalist that upset the tyrant before. That is why they have to dumb their self-down to sheepish level and be ultra-careful /submissive when interviewing their boss. Challenging the tyrant intellectually will only lead to him sending his death squad to put these smart journalist six feet under. In fact on this month September 2001 he did just that he put hundreds people into underground jails simply because he did not like them as they challenged his views.
When the parasite president asked to address problem with transparency and the “mining revenue speculations, he gave classic defensive body langue of someone who has something to hide) type of reactions when unexpectedly confronted with an issue he doesn’t want to discus at all, as he said it himself, he doesn’t like discussing important matters such as transparency. And then he went on any for his usual verbal abuses and downright utterly nonsensical monologs. ‘ሰራቒ ሞባአ ባዕሉ ይላፋለፍ’
The other day I asked a friend of mine if he had watched the interview he went berserker unsurprisingly and said, “Are you even serious buddy!? I do not want my brain to explode listening to sheer stupidity from such disgusting criminal do I??” I could not blame him or anyone else for that matter for not wanting to endure hours and hours of mental torture listing to highly boring, highly obnoxious interviewee.
PIA spent good deal of time blaming his lower ranking officials for all the corruption and mismanagement of resource in the country. While he is so clean and any sort of corruption is that razing such questions regarding transparency and corruption at the higher levels is a kind of heresy or treason according to him. He literally said “transparency questions are not necessary because everything is on safe pocket/hands”, regarding national finance.
So here you have it folks, the question I posed in the first part of this article regarding where about of the Eritrean mining revenues several weeks back has been addressed by PIA. The tyrant said the mining revenue was smaller than they expected, but do not worry about the mining revenues and the national finance, everything is safe in the pocket and safe hands, nobody can question or force us to disclose information about the mining revenues…
Look Eritrea is haemorrhaging profusely from all sides, yes money and gold is not our main problem. As I said before our people are our gold not that material gold, and we are losing tones of them. Eritrea is losing its gold the people. The material gold under the parasite regime is the enabler, the energy or the fuel for the fire to continue burn the nation.
Stopping the tyrant goes hand and hand with stopping his source of energy/fuel. So I believe it is very important the parasite is starved to death.

INJUSTICE FOR ONE IS INJUSTICE FOR EVERYONE and every Eritrean who is suffering in the dungeons of the regime deserves JUSTICE ans should be allowed to defend themselves in the court of law so does the so called G-15.I am not a big fun of the G-15 and no matter what, they deserve the JUSTICE they denied others.
Brothers and Sisters,
The atrocities that we witness been committed by the regime are simply the continuation of what was going on,on the hills of Sahil between 1970 and 1991.In fact,the atrocities that were committed against reformers and progressives were a lot worse than what we witness today.Sadly all those crimes were committed in front of these people that we all are calling for their release today.From the outset,Shaebia and its leaders had NEVER been about justice but power in the name of independence which makes it no less than a powerful shifta organization.Its shiftinet had never stopped in 1991 either but continued unabated to this date.Remember,it might be hard to say that these monsters were implicated in the crimes that were committed on the hills of Sahil but its safe to accuse them for not doing anything about it and in-fact,we suspect that their fingerprints could be very well all over the crime scene.No wonder then,they prefer not to speak out about the crimes including those who deserted the regime and live in exile currently.These monsters knew what was happening to the adorable Ibrahim Afa but they didn’t do anything to stop it but who knows if they had a part in it.
This is what the pastor of Nazi Germany said in 1945,
When they came after the communists,I didn’t speak because I was not a communist.
When they came after the Jews,I didn’t speak because I was not a Jew.
When they came after me.no one was left to speak out for me.
They should have known that if he could assassinate Ibrahim Afa and many others before him with impunity,what guarantee did they have that he wouldn’t make them his next prey.Worse,they dealt with the demon that they know for years wrongly and they paid a price big time.Ibrahim Afa and the others who perished in front of their eyes would have been elated if they had known where they are today.WHAT GOES AROUND,COMES AROUND.
No matter what though,they deserve justice and should be allowed to defend themselves in the court of law.
What saddens me most though,is about the journalists who perished for no any other crime but for simply asking and interviewing people.
In a land where a shifta leader with omnipotence who does all kinds of atrocities against defenseless people with impunity,worrying about the Bisha gold money he might stash away is insignificant.
May God save Eritrea, (kab sebsi terifa eya)
