No one seems to doubt by now that you are a pragmatic and a cool-headed guy. Even those who ostracize you for holding the idea that demarcation is the key to create a lasting peace between the two countries and to the democratization of Eritrea don’t seem to be interested in showering you with their filth. I think your resilience and logical comments are finally resonating with the camp of Tesmesgen et al. Here is one important thing that I agree with your “demarcation first” idea. I believe that what is holding Eritrea hostage cannot be all attributed to the PFDJ regime. The external factors such as the woyane regime and its supporters are also equally guilty.
Cut out your crab. Whether demarcated or not, you will never see any election as far as the tyant is alive. Period! For Issais, demarcation is not a precondition for holding election.
Another stupid argument, by another Zombie other than Kozami.
I don’t subscribe, however, to the idea that justice should be denied or deferred to Eritreans because of the border issue. The PFDJ regime has a duty to respect the dignity of any accused Eritrean without any preconditions and it should immediately bring anyone in its prison cells to a court of law. I don’t care about making elections which could easily be done like that of the woyane barbarians in order to deceive the international community and get critical aid money from donors. Today, the woyane regime is not better than the PFDJ regime when it comes to respecting human rights. One thing we should never compromise is on the demarcation of the border according to the final outcome of decision. NO NEGOTIATIONS, NO IFS AND NO BUTS. PERIOD. It is the only basis to build real peace between the two sisterly nations. If the warlords, their supporters and the tragic OOSUB had any inkling of wisdom, they should have advocated for the immediate demarcation of the border without woyane’s preconditions. Then the regime in Eritrea would have no excuse left to delay implementing the drafted constitution. However, as the Tigrigna saying goes, “bariasi hagaziA terAyetsi medida thabE”, those on the opposite side to the PFDJ regime are trying to flee from the core thing that could have helped them to advance their political agendas.
Thanks for the kind remarks. The idea that demarcating the border first is not only sensible one but also the reason of motive for the our people’s stoicism under such unrelenting pressure at this juncture of Eritrea’s history. What logic would allow one to give up on something rightfully theirs? That is to say other than a rather dark and sinister aspiration of immediate personal/localized gain. The Ethio-Eritrea boundary has been demarcated by the most able professionals that money can buy. Yet, here there are telling us woyane cartographers can do a better job at it and hence advising us to dialog on how to implement it with them. The danger of allowing woyane to tamper with what is our hard earned real estate far outweighs the benefits of a gang ho power redistribution in Eritrea. As to our points of divergence, I consider them negligible in light of my previous assertions that I desire the fair treatment and even amnesty to those who may be suffering in the sad event, as soon as yesterday.
We heard the same stupid argument from the Zombie Land for the last ten years. How about kicking out Woyane from Badme by force and go about our business of election etc.? Didn’t one time you guys were saying Shabia is the strongest force in the horn of Africa? Otherwise the status quo is destroying Eritrea. I honestly like to hear your input on this one.
Those who are asking for the demarcation of the border according to the final decision of the court of arbitration are not asking for the use of force. They are demanding the rule of law to be respected according to the agreement reached in The Hague. However, it seems that either you don’t understand international laws or you are trying to show us your “wedini” character. If you have the decency, you should not have called Eritreans “from the Zombie Land”. I don’t understand why the woyane regime keeps hiring such a ruffian.
Tseyhaye,
Now you start talking about internation law. This same international which you are taking about was in existence in 1998, when Issais started the war that consumed about 40 thousands of Eritrean lives. Despite this law, Eritrean forces were deep inside Ethiopia. What follows the war was full of humilation, destruction of lives, properties, and the Ethiopian force was able to control a third of Eritrea in a couple weeks. The Ethiopian forces stayed inside Eritrean for six-month. That war taught Zombies a good lesson to respect international was and norms the hard way. Am I right on this one ? Above all it taught the dictator not to mess with the lethal force south of our our border.
How about laws concerning prisoners? Do you guys respect the international norm on this issue?

Your suggestion a non starter in the bigger scheme of things. Given tat the border is demarcated, it would only serve purpose of allowing woyane a backdoor exit or ye gebeya girigr le leba yamechal type of senario. TPLF that has counseled for the assassination of Bashir, the starvation of Erirea, the invasion of Somalia, that has accused 94% of Ethiopians of terrorism is tightly cornered and is running out of its usefulness for its masters. It has no choice but contemplate the fate of his peers that are being devoured by the tiger they chose to take for a ride. IMO I would tell them to sit tight and hope for more dignified death.

Kozami,
Part.2
The additional sanctions being considered included targeted measures against investment in the country’s mining industry as well as further asset freezes and travel bans on the Eritrean leadership.
The United States threw its weight behind Ethiopia’s call for new sanctions in August after the UN group that monitors sanctions said Eritrea was behind the bombing plot.
The UN experts also said Eritrea was arming and supporting insurgent groups in Somalia, including the Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab.
The Security Council imposed in December 2009 an arms embargo, travel restrictions and asset freeze on top Eritrean political and military leaders because of alleged support for the Islamist Shebab militants.
Eritrea has, however, accused its neighbor of staging a “frenzied campaign” for sanctions and says any measures enforced by the UN would hurt the Eritrean people most of all.
A six-nation East African regional group, the Inter-Government Authority on Development, has called for sanctions against mining interests and banning a government tax on remittances sent back by Eritreans living abroad.
Kozami,
Here is an article by Agence France Press not from Dehai.org.
Part.1
UNITED NATIONS, Oct 18 – The Security Council will begin Tuesday discussing a draft resolution on imposing new sanctions on Eritrea for what a UN report describes as destabilizing actions in East Africa.
Neighbor and long-time rival Ethiopia has sought reinforced international sanctions since a UN panel in July said Eritrea was behind a plot to stage bomb attacks on an African Union summit in Addis Ababa in January.
The additional sanctions being considered included targeted measures against investment in the country’s mining industry as well as further asset freezes and travel bans on the Eritrean leadership.
I hope you’ve had great time with your relatives, you’ve been missed greatly. As to Haqqi N emo…gozomo aqebuluni zegebro aloni kibil eyu a’wgihuwa…
The point you eloquently make to refute my allegation, however tends to sidestep the glaring fact in Eritrea of popular apprehension to woyane’s flip flopping and outright sadism. In your quest for an answer, I have this to state: if we had the border issue, say Sudan, Yemen… I would totally be sold to your ideas, however it is beyond me how you would even contemplate woyane the sadist, who dreams up death and demise unto others through lies and cheap mischief of deportation, terrorism, invasion to be a partner in solving any problem! What, in simple terms, is holding you back fro saying the “final and binding” verdict should be implemented on ground as is for the sake of the integrity of conflict resolution mechanisms or trust building gesture as may be? Don’t you give a hoot about int’l norms and standards or you couldn’t care less about how most Eritreans feel about it? Either way, mewatseo yerhu ember…mengedikha’s aygiden.
I hope you’re not going to say, “Ezi wedi kem Adey S’llas geza geza eU z’zewir” but I had to go and visit more relatives where some of them threw a party of t’mqet nay deqom and others grieving the lose of loved ones. Yea you got that right, I am a gentleman with manners and cultural etiquette. But the down side is, you sort of get stuffed with Sh’ro and Hamli where I had to unload (of course in the washroom) it reading your otherwise engaging posts (rest assured your posts are not laxatives). On a side note, if it is any relevant, I am the only ‘black sheep’ if you will where my extended relatives are replica of Qozami if not diq z’belu PFDJ-ista.
Back to the real deal: I am not sure if PFDJ is Weyanes final frontier where the showdown seems to be who would knock first the other one out of the political scene. But as the scenario is highly unlikely, Weyane seems to tone it down as Isaias keeps shooting in his own feet where the historic blunder is with no end in sight. To be more precise, Weyanes do not have any reason to go after Isaias, when he keeps shooting while living inside a glass-house. If you notice, the reason Isaias is diplomatically isolated, struggling with a shabby economy, suffocating the populace with frightening security apparatus is not because of Weyanes bidding, rather it is because of his own blunder where the spectators are stunned when his erratic behaviour is taken for a lunacy.
I am not sure, if the Weyanes are sadists, if I have to be truthful to myself and my conscience, they are hosting young Eritreans as the latter are flocking in thousands in search of a better future exacerbated by indefinite military service and lack of rule of law inter alia. Weyanes recognized our independence; they kept a blind eye when Eritreans of an Ethiopian origin were prosecuted, humiliated and deported starting in the very early of the 90s. Moreover, if the Weyanes had any malicious intentions, they could have over run the Eritrean plains in its entirety when Isaias finished brandishing his historic sorry line, “It will be tantamount to the Sun rising from the West for us to leave Bad’me”. But they had to stop when the primary objective was a legal aspect as opposed to taking over the entire nation. If history was to be written according to the vanquished, Haile D’ru’E’s foresight captures what the kernel of pragmatism is all about when he said verbatim, “Neti nay dob guday b’gobo ayn’Na enda r’Ana, h’ssabna n’gber”. But obviously, Isaias opted to hold the entire populace hostage when the hopes, dreams and aspirations of our martyrs remain bitting the dust.

Temesgen,
You love to roam around the bush. Why you are trying to run away from the real issue that Kozami has raised is not surprising. You don’t possess the courage and the capacity to admit that you are a registered woyanay? Remember that you are not also discussing with some school children here. Instead of despising the generosity of your relatives and friends who had honored you with the nutritious shuro and hamli when you show up at their homes, answer the question, “what is holding you back from saying ‘final and binding’ verdict?”
ezi natka hatew-qetew zegerm’yu. You love to get really dirty, man. Have some respect to the people you consider as your relatives or a girl friend. In a long litany of old and over-stated issues, you have tried to teach us about the generosity of the woyane regime. FYI, if Ethiopia is receiving Eritrean refugees now, it is not because it deeply cares about them. It is just honoring its international obligations that it has signed. The same applies to the Sudan which has over half a million Eritrean refugees since the 1960’s. So dejezmat Temesgen, we are not interested in your analysis of the border war, we are only interested in your opinion about the “final and binding verdict”. Have the courage like the good Doctor who said, “I would like to see Eritrea and Ethiopia united before I die.” Rest assured that no one is going to sue you for your opinion.

semhar,
The only pride I have seen among the opposition are the Afars and Kunamas who are very proud of their own languages, heritage and identities. Some in the opposition are even ashamed to speak and sing in their own languages in the demonstrations against Hgdef. I give some credit too, to some Tigrinias who have pride in their languages, identities and songs.
If you have real and worthy identity, why do you need a white fascist European to tell you about your map, identity, zobas and cherqi?
You said about old “Higi endabas”, leave that to historians and archeologists to dig and worry about. Lets worry about justice, democracy and fairness now. There may be some good starting points in some Higi endabas, as there are outdated, unjust, and old Higiendabas in some.
Think modern, efficient and accountable ways to govern, not too old ideas. We need to grow up and move forward. Forget the past, learn to move forward.
If you are “proud of Higi endaba”, why did you burn text books written in Tigre? Why are you ashamed of your Tigre-Tigrinia? If you are proud of your past identity and history, why do you worry about an Italian invented fascist map? Why do you worry about a blue Cherqi handed to you by the UN’s Antze Matheonzos?
Identity! What identity do you have except slavery for others? Is kneeling down to Arabs an identity?
Many thanks for those kind words. I guess you’re pretty much tied up with nabra these days. We don’t “see” you very often as we used to where you graced us with your warm presence and invited us to your insightful mind. Again k’bret y’Habeley haftey natey.
While you’re at it, you might as well promote me to RaEssi. Just curious though, is it Dege’zmati or Dejazmatch? I often wonder, if your verbal communication is a dialect as your text. If language was an index to trace one’s blood line, I sure would have suspected you could be from down-south. Glad one’s blood line is a none-issue. As for the overly exhausted “Final and Binding”, we should as well put it in a back burner where other pressing issues are crying out to be addressed in no time. I hate to remind you again where you have to challenge Isaias and hold him accountable for starting the war instead of nagging day-in and day-out as if demarcating the border is a magic wand or an elixir to the clear and present danger hoovering over the clouds of Eritrea.
When every Eritrean is allowed only one loaf of bread a day; when people are terrified at the prospect of landing in jail for dissenting veiws; when the implementation of the Constitution is stalled till kingdom comes; when erstwhile high government personnel are languishing in barren places with out having a day in a court of law; when the very democratic ideals where our martyrs died and bled are denied; when our productive segment of the society is leaving the country in droves to Sudan and Ethiopia; when the economy is in an ever down ward spiral, I don’t see any reason to sweat more on the “Final and Binding” clause of the agreement where it should be implemented when we have put our houses in order first.
P.S. Please do me a favour. If you’re going to respond back with, “You’re a full blown Weyanay clap trap”, please don’t bother responding for it is not only redundant, you could as well spare your keyboard from over-use.
Part.1
Your” final and binding clause” the agreement needs the two countries to work together in order to implement the agreement. But the Ethiopian government has put a precondition regarding the demarcation process. Are you saying we will not: hold election, frees political prisoners, and keep the youth with no end military services until demarcation? For Woyanie the “No war No peace “strategy is working for them because as we attest it. Eritrea is slowly and surely dying.
Part.2
If Issaias was smart, he should have heeded to the honorable HAILE DERUE’ speech he gave in Germany in 2000 right after signing the peace agreement with Woyanie in Algiers. That is the kernel of Temesgen’s argument: put the constitution into action, hold election and other stuff instead of prying for Woyanie to bend on their precondition. I would say if the last ten years of “no war-no peace” had a crippling effect on Eritrea, definitely the future of Eritrea would be more disappointing. These days you zombies have hard time understanding the obvious reality. Please come out of your perpetual denial habit. It is a bad disease it will slowly kill you like the precondition put forward by the people south of our border killing Eritrea.
Thanks God Woyanie has the strongest military force in the horn 2011 as compared in 1998; otherwise the erratic Issais would not stop from starting another war. I am quite sure of one thing: Issais’s ego has deflated beyond repair forever.
Those who oppose the PFDJ regime are evasive and they are obsessed to listening only to their own voices. If you have read my previous comments to Kozami (Part one and two), I said that the PFDJ regime have a duty to respect the dignity of Eritreans and should not use any excuses in order to delay justice and oppress the Eritrean people. At the same time, I hold a strong view that the woyane regime should allow the demarcation of the border without any preconditions. There is no substitute to the legal decision of the final and biding verdict. International borders are not based on the agreements of nations but on the legality of international laws and norms. Period. We have already learned the hard way that the woyane regime is pure evil, and we cannot have a secure and free nation while the barbarian woyane’s threat continues to hover over our heads.
TsahayeOctober 24, 2011
PT-2: reply to Haqqi Nezareb,
Let me assure you once again that I have always opposed the PFDJ regime for its cruel treatment of Eritreans but I have also never failed to supporting the regime in defending Eritrea from the sadistic woyane. Eritrea’s problem is multifaceted, and we cannot pick one issue and leave another. If those on the opposition side are going to be taken seriously, they should provide concrete assurance to the Eritrean people that they have what it takes to defend every inch of Eritrea. For starters, they should immediately condemn the woyane regime for refusing to allow the demarcation of the border according to the final and binding verdict. I know you would say that they are not ready to commit suicide for the sake of Eritrea as the woyane regime is the reason for their survival. And that is what I call the sad part.
TsahayeOctober 24, 2011
Sorry. In the sentence: The PFDJ regime have a … the “have” should be “has”.
Haqqi NezarebOctober 24, 2011
Tsehaye,
Sorry I missed the your “hybrid” stand on PFFJ: no on human rights and yes on demarcation. I respect your hybrid stand. However, the regime that is taking Eritrea into destruction will not stop its current course even after demarcation because the regime has lost the trust of the Eritrean people. If I understand you clearly , you are approving the status quo until demarcation. How about if demarcation is not implemented in 10 or 20 or 30 years? When is the other part of your stand (anti-PFD) start to kick in? May be after 10 or 20 or 30 years.
Regarding the inept opposition organizations we are together. However, the momentum is changing due the participation of Eritrean youth. Very soon the youth will be in the driving seat.
TsahayeOctober 25, 2011
Haqqi Nezareb,
First and foremost, let me define what a hybrid is. You don’t seem to understand its meaning. A hybrid is a method, a program, or matter that has dual characteristics. For example, if you have two methods that are used for two different, you can have a third one that does both functions. A mule can be called a hybrid because it is a crossbreed from a horse and donkey. So if a hybrid is a character that encompasses two ideals, your characterization of me as a hybrid of “no on human rights and yes to demarcation” is totally wrong. If a hybrid has both characters, it cannot say “no” to one and “yes” to another. That is not the nature of a hybrid according to my understanding of it.
You are also wrong when you said, “you are approving the status quo until demarcation.” I don’t think I have ever said that. What I have always said time after time is that the issues of human rights in Eritrea and the refusal of the woyane regime to allow the demarcation of the border according to the final and binding verdict are both complimentary and legal issues, and we should not have the luxury of choosing one over the other. To be honest with you, it is time individuals like and the supporters of the warlords learn how to play politics plain and simple. As of now, you guys are sadly lost in a jungle.
Haqqi NezarebOctober 25, 2011
Tsehaye,
You are still a hybrid (actually with more P-character, chemistry) more closer to PFDJ rather than the Eritrean people. What the people are demanding: peaceful live, enough bread, kids to be released from the non-stop military services, election, fair trial etc. Like PFDJ your stand is “let us wait until demarcation”. By the way what is your stand on the upcoming Waeilla in Ethiopia? May be a hybrid stand in this one too.
Haqqi NezarebOctober 25, 2011
Tsehaye,
Let us read the opening paragraph of an article written by Semere H/Mariam on Awate.com:
“Isaias is mentally unstable and unfit to lead. He is stuck in a cemetery of dead ideas and it’s foolish to expect him to change. His arrogance and ignorance knows no boundary. Who among us could have imagined any head of state to openly boast: “I don’t have an employment contract with the Eritrean people. The Eritrean people don’t pay my salary.” Call it lunacy or not, the man who is better suited for medieval rather than modern times believes what he says: he owns Eritrea and all Eritreans are his subjects. The mouth says what the heart is full of. According to his twisted logic, the Eritrean people have no right to ask him to step-down or to change his policies. Here is a man who had allegedly said, “hzbi ertra kem gerewenNa mqTqaTu”.
Even if demarcation happens tomorrow, the status quo will continue until the death of Issais. Don’t fool yourself.
kozamiOctober 24, 2011
Tsehaye, Temesgen, Haqqi N
From the forgoing discussions, Tsehaye comes across as credible opposition that despite our differences on how we view the current GoE, I would have no qualms if he goes to form the next government of our dear nation. Essentially, he is telling it as he sees it. Period. To be an opposition places an equal, if not greater, responsibility on your shoulders as the incumbent. You can not be a single issue campaigner or a foreign/enemy poodle. When speaking of human rights; civil, political and constitutional component alone doesn’t make for a complete picture. How about the Economic, cultural and social rights? what do competent institutions, with in and outside nations, for its implementation look like? And, what is the relationship between the law and human rights? Where is the edict that sets one set of rights above others in priority order? Does the manner of inter/intra national conflict resolution has a bearing in the administration of equitable atmosphere for human rights? The right to basic needs as well as wants are not protected independent of the sacrifices required to ensure them. However, in the current setting of ‘cheat early’ politicking by the wannabe opposition the likes of Tsehaye are prevented from becoming the voices of the unheard. As an opposition should really be.
You repeating the same argument for over ten years. I am sure you are being used as ” a robot” where the control center in in Issais office. I can bet if Issais says something positive about election tomorrow, it will not take you a second to be in tune with him. Oh God! save Eritrea from such people. Do not be a “papgalo”, free yourself from the evil regime we have in Eritrea.
I am glad we have a common understanding on what is best for Eritrea. You had aptly said it before that our difference is minimal, and I can’t agree more. My statistical process analysis instructor once said, “If there was no variability, life would have been so boring.” Political difference is paramount to the well-being of our people and nation. We live in western nations where political parties fight tooth and nail without body damage. What they all have in common is the uncompromising will to defend their nations. National interest and national security are placed above individual party’s platforms; anything else is shelved as secondary. While putting Eritrea’s territorial integrity and national interests first, you and I can also do our fare share to advance human rights and the rule of law in Eritrea to go hand in hand. This way, we can leave an honorable legacy to Eritrea’s future generations.
Tsehaye Part1
Your call to do our ‘fair share’ in promoting human rights, has catapulted me many years back, down the great memory lane (I hear you say…anta sebay nai bhaki kozami ekh!) It was the summer of 1994 (if I remember correctly) I was speaking to some one who now happens to chair the UK based Eritrean Movement for Human and Democratic Rights grouping. At the time of our conversation back then he was one of the hard core supporters of the party currently running the GoE (especially, he has an uncle in high offices ala G15). As we sat and hit the conversation running, and after observing his overzealous support of ‘shaebia’, I introduced my point by saying “given that our country has tremendous potential ahead graced in legendary and epic background history, it would be so much important to safeguard it from future instabilities. Therefore I expressed my unease about unaccounted for detentions and reported tortures in detention, and suggested that the best way forward would be to have an INDEPENDENT Eritrean human rights council [not with ex-EPLF like Paulos] and follow up such unreported allegations”
Tsehaye Part2
…Well his reaction was degrading to be magnanimous, he retorted “shaebia nezom kemakha seq elka sawakha giber mibelukha neirom” [to the best of my recollection] Well as the years went by, I was convinced that no one was listening, started delving into the theories surrounding human rights in various contexts and was humbled by the knowledge I gained. My friend, however, found that his uncle (top notch of PFDJ) detained and the experience propelled him to shamelessly manipulate facts and twist events to narrate the importance (or lack ) of HR in Eritrea. Just as modern revolutionaries by mockery, he spent the last decade trolling the continents to destroy all pillars of democracy and HR in Eritrea. as the Eritrean adage goes “kulu Qo’quslu ye’himo eyu negeru.
Part.2
If Issaias was smart, he should have heeded to the honorable HAILE DERUE’ speech he gave in Germany in 2000 right after signing the peace agreement with Woyanie in Algiers. That is the kernel of Temesgen’s argument: put the constitution into action, hold election and other stuff instead of prying for Woyanie to bend on their precondition.

Thanks God Woyanie has the strongest military force in the horn 2011 as compared in 1998; otherwise the erratic Issais would not stop from starting another war. I am quite sure of one thing: Issais’s ego has deflated beyond repair forever and doesn’t have the guts for another adventure.
As much as you’re playing a king-maker when you ‘select’ Tsehaye as a viable candidate for the highest Office in Eritrea, you’re as well alluding the fact that, you and him are pretty much on the same page as he seems to be a late comer in defending human rights in Eritrea when you have started your ‘crusade’ in denouncing the gross human rights violation in Eritrea back when everything was fine and dandy. What seems to be amazing and mind boggling is that, when the rest of us couldn’t foresaw what was in store for Eritrea, you were able to use your six sense if you will when the ugly side of PFDJ was surfacing to the fore. Here is the deal though: as much as you are back tracking and peddling, what could have possibly happened to your erstwhile clairvoyance as you are now on the forefront in condoning the despicable and gross human rights violation in Eritrea? If I have to decipher the codes in your otherwise eloquent writing, I would assume that, your passionate hatred of the Weyanes might have sent you on a verge of insanity where you’ve opted to support Isaias at the expense of your otherwise betrayed self and conscience.

The danger of allowing woyane to tamper with what is our hard earned real estate far outweighs the benefits of a gang ho power redistribution in Eritrea. As to our points of divergence, I consider them negligible in light of my previous assertions that I desire the fair treatment and even amnesty to those who may be suffering in the sad event, as soon as yesterday.
Haqqi Nezareb October 22, 2011
Kozami, Tsehaye,
We heard the same stupid argument from the Zombie Land for the last ten years. How about kicking out Woyane from Badme by force and go about our business of election etc.? Didn’t one time you guys were saying Shabia is the strongest force in the horn of Africa? Otherwise the status quo is destroying Eritrea. I honestly like to hear your input on this one.
Tsahaye October 23, 2011
Haqqi Nezareb,
Those who are asking for the demarcation of the border according to the final decision of the court of arbitration are not asking for the use of force. They are demanding the rule of law to be respected according to the agreement reached in The Hague. However, it seems that either you don’t understand international laws or you are trying to show us your “wedini” character. If you have the decency, you should not have called Eritreans “from the Zombie Land”. I don’t understand why the woyane regime keeps hiring such a ruffian.
Haqqi Nezareb October 23, 2011
Tseyhaye,
Now you start talking about internation law. This same international which you are taking about was in existence in 1998, when Issais started the war that consumed about 40 thousands of Eritrean lives. Despite this law, Eritrean forces were deep inside Ethiopia. What follows the war was full of humilation, destruction of lives, properties, and the Ethiopian force was able to control a third of Eritrea in a couple weeks. The Ethiopian forces stayed inside Eritrean for six-month. That war taught Zombies a good lesson to respect international was and norms the hard way. Am I right on this one ? Above all it taught the dictator not to mess with the lethal force south of our our border.
How about laws concerning prisoners? Do you guys respect the international norm on this issue?

Your suggestion a non starter in the bigger scheme of things. Given tat the border is demarcated, it would only serve purpose of allowing woyane a backdoor exit or ye gebeya girigr le leba yamechal type of senario. TPLF that has counseled for the assassination of Bashir, the starvation of Erirea, the invasion of Somalia, that has accused 94% of Ethiopians of terrorism is tightly cornered and is running out of its usefulness for its masters. It has no choice but contemplate the fate of his peers that are being devoured by the tiger they chose to take for a ride. IMO I would tell them to sit tight and hope for more dignified death.

The additional sanctions being considered included targeted measures against investment in the country’s mining industry as well as further asset freezes and travel bans on the Eritrean leadership.
The United States threw its weight behind Ethiopia’s call for new sanctions in August after the UN group that monitors sanctions said Eritrea was behind the bombing plot.
The UN experts also said Eritrea was arming and supporting insurgent groups in Somalia, including the Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab.
The Security Council imposed in December 2009 an arms embargo, travel restrictions and asset freeze on top Eritrean political and military leaders because of alleged support for the Islamist Shebab militants.
Eritrea has, however, accused its neighbor of staging a “frenzied campaign” for sanctions and says any measures enforced by the UN would hurt the Eritrean people most of all.
A six-nation East African regional group, the Inter-Government Authority on Development, has called for sanctions against mining interests and banning a government tax on remittances sent back by Eritreans living abroad.

Here is an article by Agence France Press not from Dehai.org.
Part.1
UNITED NATIONS, Oct 18 – The Security Council will begin Tuesday discussing a draft resolution on imposing new sanctions on Eritrea for what a UN report describes as destabilizing actions in East Africa.
Neighbor and long-time rival Ethiopia has sought reinforced international sanctions since a UN panel in July said Eritrea was behind a plot to stage bomb attacks on an African Union summit in Addis Ababa in January.
The additional sanctions being considered included targeted measures against investment in the country’s mining industry as well as further asset freezes and travel bans on the Eritrean leadership.

The point you eloquently make to refute my allegation, however tends to sidestep the glaring fact in Eritrea of popular apprehension to woyane’s flip flopping and outright sadism. In your quest for an answer, I have this to state: if we had the border issue, say Sudan, Yemen… I would totally be sold to your ideas, however it is beyond me how you would even contemplate woyane the sadist, who dreams up death and demise unto others through lies and cheap mischief of deportation, terrorism, invasion to be a partner in solving any problem! What, in simple terms, is holding you back fro saying the “final and binding” verdict should be implemented on ground as is for the sake of the integrity of conflict resolution mechanisms or trust building gesture as may be? Don’t you give a hoot about int’l norms and standards or you couldn’t care less about how most Eritreans feel about it? Either way, mewatseo yerhu ember…mengedikha’s aygiden.

Yea you got that right, I am a gentleman with manners and cultural etiquette. But the down side is, you sort of get stuffed with Sh’ro and Hamli where I had to unload (of course in the washroom) it reading your otherwise engaging posts (rest assured your posts are not laxatives). On a side note, if it is any relevant, I am the only ‘black sheep’ if you will where my extended relatives are replica of Qozami if not diq z’belu PFDJ-ista.

Back to the real deal: I am not sure if PFDJ is Weyanes final frontier where the showdown seems to be who would knock first the other one out of the political scene. But as the scenario is highly unlikely, Weyane seems to tone it down as Isaias keeps shooting in his own feet where the historic blunder is with no end in sight. To be more precise, Weyanes do not have any reason to go after Isaias, when he keeps shooting while living inside a glass-house. If you notice, the reason Isaias is diplomatically isolated, struggling with a shabby economy, suffocating the populace with frightening security apparatus is not because of Weyanes bidding, rather it is because of his own blunder where the spectators are stunned when his erratic behaviour is taken for a lunacy.
Temesgen Medhanie October 23, 2011
Qozami,
Part III.
I am not sure, if the Weyanes are sadists, if I have to be truthful to myself and my conscience, they are hosting young Eritreans as the latter are flocking in thousands in search of a better future exacerbated by indefinite military service and lack of rule of law inter alia. Weyanes recognized our independence; they kept a blind eye when Eritreans of an Ethiopian origin were prosecuted, humiliated and deported starting in the very early of the 90s. Moreover, if the Weyanes had any malicious intentions, they could have over run the Eritrean plains in its entirety when Isaias finished brandishing his historic sorry line, “It will be tantamount to the Sun rising from the West for us to leave Bad’me”. But they had to stop when the primary objective was a legal aspect as opposed to taking over the entire nation. If history was to be written according to the vanquished, Haile D’ru’E’s foresight captures what the kernel of pragmatism is all about when he said verbatim, “Neti nay dob guday b’gobo ayn’Na enda r’Ana, h’ssabna n’gber”. But obviously, Isaias opted to hold the entire populace hostage when the hopes, dreams and aspirations of our martyrs remain bitting the dust.

You love to roam around the bush. Why you are trying to run away from the real issue that Kozami has raised is not surprising. You don’t possess the courage and the capacity to admit that you are a registered woyanay? Remember that you are not also discussing with some school children here. Instead of despising the generosity of your relatives and friends who had honored you with the nutritious shuro and hamli when you show up at their homes, answer the question, “what is holding you back from saying ‘final and binding’ verdict?”
ezi natka hatew-qetew zegerm’yu. You love to get really dirty, man. Have some respect to the people you consider as your relatives or a girl friend. In a long litany of old and over-stated issues, you have tried to teach us about the generosity of the woyane regime. FYI, if Ethiopia is receiving Eritrean refugees now, it is not because it deeply cares about them. It is just honoring its international obligations that it has signed. The same applies to the Sudan which has over half a million Eritrean refugees since the 1960’s. So dejezmat Temesgen, we are not interested in your analysis of the border war, we are only interested in your opinion about the “final and binding verdict”. Have the courage like the good Doctor who said, “I would like to see Eritrea and Ethiopia united before I die.” Rest assured that no one is going to sue you for your opinion.

The only pride I have seen among the opposition are the Afars and Kunamas who are very proud of their own languages, heritage and identities. Some in the opposition are even ashamed to speak and sing in their own languages in the demonstrations against Hgdef. I give some credit too, to some Tigrinias who have pride in their languages, identities and songs.
If you have real and worthy identity, why do you need a white fascist European to tell you about your map, identity, zobas and cherqi?
You said about old “Higi endabas”, leave that to historians and archeologists to dig and worry about. Lets worry about justice, democracy and fairness now. There may be some good starting points in some Higi endabas, as there are outdated, unjust, and old Higiendabas in some.
Think modern, efficient and accountable ways to govern, not too old ideas. We need to grow up and move forward. Forget the past, learn to move forward.
If you are “proud of Higi endaba”, why did you burn text books written in Tigre? Why are you ashamed of your Tigre-Tigrinia? If you are proud of your past identity and history, why do you worry about an Italian invented fascist map? Why do you worry about a blue Cherqi handed to you by the UN’s Antze Matheonzos?
Identity! What identity do you have except slavery for others? Is kneeling down to Arabs an identity?

If language was an index to trace one’s blood line, I sure would have suspected you could be from down-south. Glad one’s blood line is a none-issue. As for the overly exhausted “Final and Binding”, we should as well put it in a back burner where other pressing issues are crying out to be addressed in no time. I hate to remind you again where you have to challenge Isaias and hold him accountable for starting the war instead of nagging day-in and day-out as if demarcating the border is a magic wand or an elixir to the clear and present danger hoovering over the clouds of Eritrea.

When every Eritrean is allowed only one loaf of bread a day; when people are terrified at the prospect of landing in jail for dissenting veiws; when the implementation of the Constitution is stalled till kingdom comes; when erstwhile high government personnel are languishing in barren places with out having a day in a court of law; when the very democratic ideals where our martyrs died and bled are denied; when our productive segment of the society is leaving the country in droves to Sudan and Ethiopia; when the economy is in an ever down ward spiral, I don’t see any reason to sweat more on the “Final and Binding” clause of the agreement where it should be implemented when we have put our houses in order first.
P.S. Please do me a favour. If you’re going to respond back with, “You’re a full blown Weyanay clap trap”, please don’t bother responding for it is not only redundant, you could as well spare your keyboard from over-use.

Your” final and binding clause” the agreement needs the two countries to work together in order to implement the agreement. But the Ethiopian government has put a precondition regarding the demarcation process. Are you saying we will not: hold election, frees political prisoners, and keep the youth with no end military services until demarcation? For Woyanie the “No war No peace “strategy is working for them because as we attest it. Eritrea is slowly and surely dying.

If Issaias was smart, he should have heeded to the honorable HAILE DERUE’ speech he gave in Germany in 2000 right after signing the peace agreement with Woyanie in Algiers. That is the kernel of Temesgen’s argument: put the constitution into action, hold election and other stuff instead of prying for Woyanie to bend on their precondition. I would say if the last ten years of “no war-no peace” had a crippling effect on Eritrea, definitely the future of Eritrea would be more disappointing. These days you zombies have hard time understanding the obvious reality. Please come out of your perpetual denial habit. It is a bad disease it will slowly kill you like the precondition put forward by the people south of our border killing Eritrea.
Thanks God Woyanie has the strongest military force in the horn 2011 as compared in 1998; otherwise the erratic Issais would not stop from starting another war. I am quite sure of one thing: Issais’s ego has deflated beyond repair forever.

PT- 1: reply to Haqqi Nezareb,
Those who oppose the PFDJ regime are evasive and they are obsessed to listening only to their own voices. If you have read my previous comments to Kozami (Part one and two), I said that the PFDJ regime have a duty to respect the dignity of Eritreans and should not use any excuses in order to delay justice and oppress the Eritrean people. At the same time, I hold a strong view that the woyane regime should allow the demarcation of the border without any preconditions. There is no substitute to the legal decision of the final and biding verdict. International borders are not based on the agreements of nations but on the legality of international laws and norms. Period. We have already learned the hard way that the woyane regime is pure evil, and we cannot have a secure and free nation while the barbarian woyane’s threat continues to hover over our heads.
Tsahaye October 24, 2011
PT-2: reply to Haqqi Nezareb,
Let me assure you once again that I have always opposed the PFDJ regime for its cruel treatment of Eritreans but I have also never failed to supporting the regime in defending Eritrea from the sadistic woyane. Eritrea’s problem is multifaceted, and we cannot pick one issue and leave another. If those on the opposition side are going to be taken seriously, they should provide concrete assurance to the Eritrean people that they have what it takes to defend every inch of Eritrea. For starters, they should immediately condemn the woyane regime for refusing to allow the demarcation of the border according to the final and binding verdict. I know you would say that they are not ready to commit suicide for the sake of Eritrea as the woyane regime is the reason for their survival. And that is what I call the sad part.

Haqqi Nezareb October 24, 2011
Tsehaye,
Sorry I missed the your “hybrid” stand on PFFJ: no on human rights and yes on demarcation. I respect your hybrid stand. However, the regime that is taking Eritrea into destruction will not stop its current course even after demarcation because the regime has lost the trust of the Eritrean people. If I understand you clearly , you are approving the status quo until demarcation. How about if demarcation is not implemented in 10 or 20 or 30 years? When is the other part of your stand (anti-PFD) start to kick in? May be after 10 or 20 or 30 years.
Regarding the inept opposition organizations we are together. However, the momentum is changing due the participation of Eritrean youth. Very soon the youth will be in the driving seat.
Tsahaye October 25, 2011
Haqqi Nezareb,
First and foremost, let me define what a hybrid is. You don’t seem to understand its meaning. A hybrid is a method, a program, or matter that has dual characteristics. For example, if you have two methods that are used for two different, you can have a third one that does both functions. A mule can be called a hybrid because it is a crossbreed from a horse and donkey. So if a hybrid is a character that encompasses two ideals, your characterization of me as a hybrid of “no on human rights and yes to demarcation” is totally wrong. If a hybrid has both characters, it cannot say “no” to one and “yes” to another. That is not the nature of a hybrid according to my understanding of it.
You are also wrong when you said, “you are approving the status quo until demarcation.” I don’t think I have ever said that. What I have always said time after time is that the issues of human rights in Eritrea and the refusal of the woyane regime to allow the demarcation of the border according to the final and binding verdict are both complimentary and legal issues, and we should not have the luxury of choosing one over the other. To be honest with you, it is time individuals like and the supporters of the warlords learn how to play politics plain and simple. As of now, you guys are sadly lost in a jungle.
Haqqi Nezareb October 25, 2011
Tsehaye,
You are still a hybrid (actually with more P-character, chemistry) more closer to PFDJ rather than the Eritrean people. What the people are demanding: peaceful live, enough bread, kids to be released from the non-stop military services, election, fair trial etc. Like PFDJ your stand is “let us wait until demarcation”. By the way what is your stand on the upcoming Waeilla in Ethiopia? May be a hybrid stand in this one too.
Haqqi Nezareb October 25, 2011
Tsehaye,
Let us read the opening paragraph of an article written by Semere H/Mariam on Awate.com:
“Isaias is mentally unstable and unfit to lead. He is stuck in a cemetery of dead ideas and it’s foolish to expect him to change. His arrogance and ignorance knows no boundary. Who among us could have imagined any head of state to openly boast: “I don’t have an employment contract with the Eritrean people. The Eritrean people don’t pay my salary.” Call it lunacy or not, the man who is better suited for medieval rather than modern times believes what he says: he owns Eritrea and all Eritreans are his subjects. The mouth says what the heart is full of. According to his twisted logic, the Eritrean people have no right to ask him to step-down or to change his policies. Here is a man who had allegedly said, “hzbi ertra kem gerewenNa mqTqaTu”.
Even if demarcation happens tomorrow, the status quo will continue until the death of Issais. Don’t fool yourself.

Tsehaye, Temesgen, Haqqi N
From the forgoing discussions, Tsehaye comes across as credible opposition that despite our differences on how we view the current GoE, I would have no qualms if he goes to form the next government of our dear nation. Essentially, he is telling it as he sees it. Period. To be an opposition places an equal, if not greater, responsibility on your shoulders as the incumbent. You can not be a single issue campaigner or a foreign/enemy poodle. When speaking of human rights; civil, political and constitutional component alone doesn’t make for a complete picture. How about the Economic, cultural and social rights? what do competent institutions, with in and outside nations, for its implementation look like? And, what is the relationship between the law and human rights? Where is the edict that sets one set of rights above others in priority order? Does the manner of inter/intra national conflict resolution has a bearing in the administration of equitable atmosphere for human rights? The right to basic needs as well as wants are not protected independent of the sacrifices required to ensure them. However, in the current setting of ‘cheat early’ politicking by the wannabe opposition the likes of Tsehaye are prevented from becoming the voices of the unheard. As an opposition should really be.

Do not be a “papgalo”, free yourself from the evil regime we have in Eritrea.

Kozami,
I am glad we have a common understanding on what is best for Eritrea. You had aptly said it before that our difference is minimal, and I can’t agree more. My statistical process analysis instructor once said, “If there was no variability, life would have been so boring.” Political difference is paramount to the well-being of our people and nation. We live in western nations where political parties fight tooth and nail without body damage. What they all have in common is the uncompromising will to defend their nations. National interest and national security are placed above individual party’s platforms; anything else is shelved as secondary. While putting Eritrea’s territorial integrity and national interests first, you and I can also do our fare share to advance human rights and the rule of law in Eritrea to go hand in hand. This way, we can leave an honorable legacy to Eritrea’s future generations.

Your call to do our ‘fair share’ in promoting human rights, has catapulted me many years back, down the great memory lane (I hear you say…anta sebay nai bhaki kozami ekh!) It was the summer of 1994 (if I remember correctly) I was speaking to some one who now happens to chair the UK based Eritrean Movement for Human and Democratic Rights grouping. At the time of our conversation back then he was one of the hard core supporters of the party currently running the GoE (especially, he has an uncle in high offices ala G15). As we sat and hit the conversation running, and after observing his overzealous support of ‘shaebia’, I introduced my point by saying “given that our country has tremendous potential ahead graced in legendary and epic background history, it would be so much important to safeguard it from future instabilities. Therefore I expressed my unease about unaccounted for detentions and reported tortures in detention, and suggested that the best way forward would be to have an INDEPENDENT Eritrean human rights council [not with ex-EPLF like Paulos] and follow up such unreported allegations”

…Well his reaction was degrading to be magnanimous, he retorted “shaebia nezom kemakha seq elka sawakha giber mibelukha neirom” [to the best of my recollection] Well as the years went by, I was convinced that no one was listening, started delving into the theories surrounding human rights in various contexts and was humbled by the knowledge I gained. My friend, however, found that his uncle (top notch of PFDJ) detained and the experience propelled him to shamelessly manipulate facts and twist events to narrate the importance (or lack ) of HR in Eritrea. Just as modern revolutionaries by mockery, he spent the last decade trolling the continents to destroy all pillars of democracy and HR in Eritrea. as the Eritrean adage goes “kulu Qo’quslu ye’himo eyu negeru.

As much as you’re playing a king-maker when you ‘select’ Tsehaye as a viable candidate for the highest Office in Eritrea, you’re as well alluding the fact that, you and him are pretty much on the same page as he seems to be a late comer in defending human rights in Eritrea when you have started your ‘crusade’ in denouncing the gross human rights violation in Eritrea back when everything was fine and dandy. What seems to be amazing and mind boggling is that, when the rest of us couldn’t foresaw what was in store for Eritrea, you were able to use your six sense if you will when the ugly side of PFDJ was surfacing to the fore. Here is the deal though: as much as you are back tracking and peddling, what could have possibly happened to your erstwhile clairvoyance as you are now on the forefront in condoning the despicable and gross human rights violation in Eritrea? If I have to decipher the codes in your otherwise eloquent writing, I would assume that, your passionate hatred of the Weyanes might have sent you on a verge of insanity where you’ve opted to support Isaias at the expense of your otherwise betrayed self and conscience.
