Eritrean Cyclists seek asylum in Scandinavian countries

At least 3 Eritrean cyclists who participated at the world championships in Copenhagen from 19th to 25th September are reported to have sought asylum in Scandinavia.
The cyclists who represented Eritrea did not perform as well as had been expected. It is to be remembered that the entire Eritrean soccer team absconded in Kenya some 2 years ago. Many Club Red Sea football players in Tanzania last year as well as the Eritrean athletes in Scotland are among many sports folks who did not go back to their country because of the dire political and economical conditions in Eritrea.

  • issu October 1, 2011

    What ever fabricate millions times you are pure agamie and fake eritreans. We eritreans know u who u are. we will be prosperous without agamie. Migration is a natural phenomenon.Let alone third world country, American migrate to Canada fear of National service, east Europe migrate to west country in-search of job or for better life. Million Mexicans crossing the border to America every year etc… This is not a new thing. But you are bunch of donkoro agamie and agent for chenawi melese zenawi who want to turn Eritrea to chaos.We sacrifice 85000 martyr we will not trade off our country for cheap propaganda. Keep in mind, millions your people/ethiopians are migrating insearch of asylum to be free from atrocity from humanity and dictatorship from minority ruler to every corner of the world.

    • Adi nefas October 2, 2011

      The word “Agame” that “issu” wrote above is just a district name of Tigrai, just like Hamasen or Seraye or Barka on Eritrea. It is a name of very hard working people who are ruling 85 million people in Ethiopia, the most powerful in the Horn of Africa.
      If you want to hear the truth, there is no less “Agametay” or “Agame” than Isaias Afaf of Tembien – wedi Medhin berad, or Yemane Monkey – wedi Gebriela setanta otto stemaqit suwa, Yemane G. Meskel of Enderta, Hagos Kisha of Tembien Tigrai …. the list is very long …

      issu or whatever you call your self, you are watching too much tv eri.comparing the migration of americans to canada and east europeans to west europe with the migration of eritreans is insane.have you ever questioned yourself ever why all these eritreans are crossing throug the desert and sea to reach to a safe haven so they could rebuilt their wasted life serving your namesake.allow me to use from your sentence,they are leaving their homeland to be free of the atrocity which is befallen to our pepole.if I am not mistaken issu , you are ashamed of all this news streaming into your living room tv about the eritreans who died in the desert of sahra trying to flee your DIA.as for your views of agame Iwill not go there and comment about it. do you really think your DIA is pure eritrean? meles zenawi has got more eritrean blood than your an elected presdent.l

  • abdi October 2, 2011

    Pls help,i googled for this news and i couldn’t find nothing related to eritrean cyclists,any where apart in Ass ena and ethiopian review quoting assena as source,
    what a shame this a very disrespect to the users of the site and insulting thier intelligence too.
    Please Ass ena can you tell ue where you got this news from?or any link to confirm it,
    tezey yelo donqorokha dle ya agame,mhsawi sheyetti hzbom

  • Weldit October 2, 2011

    I don’t think this news is credible.
    6 cyclists were participating and we know thier names: Daniel T/Haimanot, Natnael Berhane, Frekalsi Debessay & 3 others. So tell me, who defected? give me the names.
    It’s easy to verify.

    • Paradiso October 2, 2011

      The three others were not named by “Hadas Ertra” in its Sept 30, 2011 edition. Hadas Ertra was so humilated, not being able to mention, about the defection that it decided to name the return of two athlets only.
      The three defectors were left over. To find out the three names, read Hadas Ertra’s last week edition.
      The truth is no young Eritrean wants to stay in a hopeless and miserable place called Eritrea.
      There are more opportunities in South Sudan and Uganda than in miserable Eritrea under Hgdef.

    Below is a link of a radio translation of Dan Connell’s memorable book on Petros Solomon’s interview. It includes about wars with Yemen, Sudan, Ethiopia, corruption, Girma Asmerom, Esaya’s humiliation defeat in the hands of Weyane …
    This puts petros solomon as remarkably astute observer, intelligent political analyst.
    This is in sallina.com of Oct 2, 2011 broadcast. I received an e-mail from my sister in Asmara to listen to the narration of this book with its title translated as “t’Ebit golyad”.
    I want thank Dan Connell for this remarkable gift.
    Here is the link:

    The terror suspect in the death of TPLF singers caught

    Federal Police Joint Anti-Terror Task Force in Ethiopia has caught the suspect that is responsible for causing the death of 9 ruling party musicians.
    The suspect, a 2-year-old bird named Alula, has been positively identified by the driver of the bus that crashed on its way to South Sudan carrying over 25 members of the TPLF musical group.

    The driver, fighting back tears, told investigators that the bird barged into the bus and savagely attacked him causing him to lose control. The bird was assisted by an ox, the driver said. The ox is yet to be apprehended.

    The suspect, Alula, has been brought to Maikelawi Jail in Addis Ababa today for interrogation. Initial investigation indicates that Alula has received extensive terror training in Eritrea, according to TPLF regime spokesperson Bereket Simon.

    Reporter has the following report in Amharic:

    wondering why Ass ena didn’t report this?

    • Temesgen Medhanie October 2, 2011

      abdi,

      That is too insensitive to make jokes of deceased people. I am sure, you’ve never lost anybody in your family. When you do, you will understand what it feels like to lose somebody you love. The deceased people have fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters. How would you feel like if your daughter or son is not going to be able to see you, hear your voice, feel your love? What would your daughter or son fell if someone was to make jokes about you after you’ve died?

      • Temesgen Medhanie October 2, 2011

        Read feel not fell.

        • abdi October 2, 2011

          Sorry,You need to address your critics to ethiopiareview not me,

    TO
    Tsige
    Please tray to learn English, probably you grow up under Pia, dig-in holes to plant tree rather than studding.
    Education is the key to Eritrea’s, so you don’t end up like Wishu or the generals in Eritrea.
    So my responsibility is to teach my kids, I am doing that but if you have problem we can help.

    • abdi October 3, 2011

      Mr Uganda

      What’s wrong with the generals eritrean?do ve to insult the whole eritreans because she opted to write by her lang,
