Eritrea’s importance in the Horn of Africa regional politics is dictated more by its strategic location along the Red Sea than its wealth.

As we Eritreans just celebrated the 19th year of independence, there are plenty of successful accomplishments the current “transitional government” just shy of a mere 20 years” should be very, very proud of. Only those successes of substantial merits are listed below!
Democracy is the most challenging form of system of government. The other typical forms of government are dictatorship and monarchy.
In December 23 last year the UN Security Council passed a resolution for a sanction against the government (not the people) of Eritrea. Aybelnan’do!
October 25, 2010: Eritrea continues to wage war on several fronts. Its forces face Ethiopia along their disputed border. The proxy war in Somalia continues. Though the border incident with Djibouti is being resolved, trouble with Djibouti Afar nomads remains an issue. Eritrea has, over the last decade, also been involved with guerrilla groups in Yemen and Sudan.
Mengistu was a dictator and Hailesellassie was a despot or an absolute monarchy. Nevertheless, the tactics they used to oppress the Eritrean people are too lenient by PFDJ standards.
Basil Davidson’s contribution as a writer and historian on Africa is without parallel in Europe. His active study and active involvement in the politics of liberation was also outstanding. Everyone concerned with understanding Africa owes an enormous debt to his life’s work.

First I would like to express my thanks to the Ethiopian Government for giving the necessary logistical support to NCDC to successfully hold the conference, and for the decision to help the Eritrean refugees.
At the end of the National Conference for Democratic Change (NCDC), some participants gave us a glowing assessment of the conference. A casual observer can discover only one participant who complained in public about the way the NCDC was conducted (Togoruba.org, “2010 Eritrean National Conference for Democratic Change” Amare G/Mariam).

Despite the energetic campaign and the significance attached to the upcoming National Conference for Democratic Change (NCDC), the vast majority of Eritreans in Diaspora remain oblivious to this event.
As you may remember my last article on our voice of the voiceless websites was the one about the National Conference. Though, most of the people in the opposition site including the heavy weights do agree on my reservations that I have pointed out by then they disagree with me on why I made it public.
A year ago, we released news of the G-15 mock trials. The idea was to film the trials which we have done. If you need short introduction, we offer you the news-report at this link: http://cpj.org/blog/2009/07/

Eritrea, a nation in the Horn of Africa, has won the struggle for independence on May 24 1991. During the armed struggle for independence, there were numerous evidences that the leadership from ELF and EPLF were persecuting their comrades who attempted to introduce leadership accountability and promote sustainable unity and freedom among the Eritrean people.

For the very reason that we do not have another alternative, we are bound to instruct the leadership of “kidan” to bring its act together and begin to listen to the critics of citizens. One aspect of leadership is about listening the heart beat of fellow citizens and be guided by it. This piece deals with the issue of ‘HaGeraWi WaEla for Democratic change’, which its English version is ‘National Congress for Democratic Change’.
The story began in a dusty, hot village in Eritrea , and ended in an icy wood in Halifax just a few weeks ago.That day, Habtom Kibraeb was told that his refugee claim had been denied by Immigration Canada Deportation was almost certain. Now – on Habtom’s path – from shepherd boy to young solider, from runaway to laundry worker – there was an obstacle he couldn’t face, a fate from which he saw no escape.
