First, I would like to thank Mr. Yosef G. for his insightful discussion on the latest episode between Eritrea and the US. …We all share his pains over PIA’s repressive acts against the Eritrean people. I also agree with many of his arguments….However, it is in the moments of greatest pain that we should be able to maintain our reasoning faculties.
Nation building is ensuring genuine freedom, genuine liberty under the authority of rule of law and constitution. Are these things realities or not in Eritrea?
One of the writers defending whatever illegal acts of torture the Eritrean government commits is Sophia Tesfamariam. My point here is to expose the fallacy she argues with in attacking an article which is a critique of the definition of nation building in Eritrea written by Prof. Habtu and posted in awate.com.
It is pains me hardly to reflect or contemplate my country name classified under the Axis of Evil. I‘m disappointed to see Eritrea’s name equivalent to the North Korea, Syria, Sudan, Cuba. Congratulation to Libya they have recently cleared their nation from the list state sponsored of terrorism.
When it comes to Eritrea, the country which once swore to tread at the footsteps of Singapore turned to a war industry. Naturally, wartime changed the face of the country, but PFDJ never saw the potential of the damage, they just campaigned the rhetoric of a short term homework,

Eritreans shouldn’t be fooled; PFDJ is Woyane’s mercenary in Eritrea! There can NOT be any other possible explanation.
Unless we win liberty as a people in our individual consciousness we will suffer the wrath of this reigning dictatorship whether we are inside or outside our country.
Perhaps the most tormented sector of our society by diverse dictatorial menaces is the Eritrean youth. As a result this vital component of our society is now in a wave of disorientations in all aspects of life.
I feel like an orphan as I live exiled indefinitely. As the famous lyrics of Yemane Baria’s song describe, I always swing sideways
A measure of leadership is not the ability to control but to promote the community. You promote the community if you succeed to ensure their freedom and basic rights, to safeguard the peace and security, to better their capacity of life, to lead them into expanding their horizons…
Unless we separate the person of a dictator from the entity of our statehood, I am afraid we will have hard time with freedom.
The following discussion is my updated understanding, interpretations and analysis of the border issue based on my latest understanding.
