    Z’kheberka Amanuel Eyasu,

    I hope you’re not going to call me weTam as I seem to stick my nose in the warm exchange of ideas between you and Maaza. But I should confess that, I couldn’t resist the temptation to express my impression about you. As much as I think of you as a late comer into the multiple Eritrean websites when Asmarino.com and Awate.com filled the lime light, your stellar performance, hard work and gutsy stand seem to steal the lime light. I should say that, Tesfal’det Alem-Maharena doesn’t opine much as he relentlessly exposes the hypocrisy of Isaias as the former brings it to the fore with video clips and documentaries. Sure enough, when I first came across to your contributions into the going noble cause when you graced us with your “Kemey Qenikhi Hagerey” column on Asmarino, I knew right from the get go that, you have something extraordinary in you. You’re a natural-born leader with clarity of ideas, forceful voice and of course unflinching stand on critical issues when the scirbes on Awate.com who boast more than two thousand articles to their credit vacillate between labelling Isaias a benevolent dictator to bashing the Opposition parties as they see it fit.

    The road less travelled that you have taken up is incredibly difficult where you feel at times losing hopes and aspirations as you would see some compatriots slacking off in their fight against the home grown tyranny in Eritrea, but one thing that remains to be a fact is, history, truth and the silent majority of the Eritrean people are on your side. If I have to paraphrase Isaac Newton: if posterity in Eritrea is to see further than others in a free and democratic Eritrea, it is because, posterity will have to stand on the giant shoulders of yours. We will not relent. We will fight, fight and fight ’till we bring justice, freedom and prosperity to the one and only Eritrea!!!

      I subscribe 100% to your post above. Every word of it. We must now re-instate our ability, as a people steeped in wisdom about what is wrong or and what is right , to say loud and clear, Newri, Ageb and Hmack and on one hand and Assena, Agenae, NfuE and Jigna on the other as the case warrants. Hgdef, with Monkey at its helm are working day and night to replace this candid centuries old behaviour of the Eritrean people, by replacing it with Hade Libi, Hade Hzbi and Hade Hlna so that they can be indoctrinated to say good or bad at a command. Since this was very effectively applied to huge countries with diversified huge populations, you would think a small country and a small population like ours does not stand a chance. But contemporary history of our country reveals this phenomenon failed to take root. Biedemariam’s ‘licking’ article sounds gross and obscene I bet even to some in the hgdefite camp.

      May be it is our unique geographica location, may be it is the 1000 kms. Red Sea coastline that was a wide door for exposure to other cultures and civilizations, may be it is the 60 years of Italian occupation, may be all of these reasons and more that future Eritrean anthropologists will register (Isayas permitting), but licking and bowing is not in the DNA of the Eritrean makeup. There is a complete absence of feudal behaviour in the whole population. In fact, such behaviour is frowned upon by the society. There is no Goitai Goitai in our society. So endoctrinating the poeple to worship a god is a daunting job even for the, I regret to say, ‘brilliant’ Monkey. The few young people who chased him in NY are a glaring evidence to Monkey that kneeling down and worshiping does not come naturally to Eritreans. Hgdef is thriving with the exceptions to this rule, be it a highly educated professor or otherwise. It is always a great source of pride for me that I come from a society, by and large, guided by principles. A greedy person is easily spotted and culturally ‘ostracized’. He may be a stincking rich person, but this type person will not enjoy an elevated place of respect in the society, if he is viewed as a greedy one. At the least this was the Eritrea we all grew up in until the advent of Hgdef who is trying to change an admirable manner the socety conducted itself by something alien to it, a CULT for one single man.

      Twenty years on this indoctrination is a BIG FLOP! It doesn’t stick, fortunately for us as a people. In dia’s visit to DC 10 years ago, there were about 15,000, now about 3000. This speaks volumes about what is brewing and I have no doubt in my mind that, although they feared that much less might show up and they were surprised and thrilled by the outcome, the hard core truth is most Eritreans have wirtten off DIA and Hgdef. We are going to witness this sooner than later as spontaneous (only 3 days effort) protestors will fill the streets of cities in the globe where there are sizable Eritrean residents.

      Lets find back our voices and call n’TsbuK TsbuK and n’HmaK HmaK that is our priceless cultural heritage which Monkey labours day and night to stamp out and replace by this obscene phenomenon called hade lbi hade hzbi so that we can all, in unison (as one person), kneel at the alter of Ato Isayas in worship, blinded by personal cult.

      I read in Wikileaks that the present rulling party of China, rates Mao Tse Tung’s role to transform his country as 70% good and 30% bad. It appears, notwithstanding some of the glaring failures of his reign and that he left the society just as poor after decades of rule, they can not dare rate it lower because the indoctrination of the cult is still so deep-rooted in the rural masses, they fear un uproar.

      By the way, in the same leaks post, it is reported that a guest for dinner at the Chinese Embassy, after downing a bottle of some Chinese hard liquor, our DIA, nostalgic, metioned Mao’s name 10 times!

      Temesgen, I am sure there is nothing you do not know about what I am posting. I am putting it down for the benefit of Hgdefites.

        Maazaa haftey,

        I read your yet another interesting and engaging post with an ample interest. I often feel like I am talking to you in person. It is weird. Isn’t it? Let me tell you a bit of myself or walk you through my not so eventful mini-biography. I was born in the early 70s to a family with a humble beginning where my father was a construction worker (neda’qay) pretty much most of his life and my mother was a house wife or a home maker as they would call it in this part of the world. My father however had a keen sense of interest and value of education as he tried his best to get us out of the loop where he found himself struggling to provide us with the basic needs in life. And to his credit, we managed to get out of the ‘razza nay ab’U hazza’ otherwise gloomy prospect in life. In the mean time however, the ever infectious and contagious zeal of nationalism couldn’t spare us as we came of age and graduated into adulthood. For us that is, for my peers and contemporaries, the world or the thing we call reality was divided into E.P.L.F and the rest of the world. We truly believed that, E.P.L.F was a panacea, elixir, or a magic wand not only to the social, economic and political anomalies of the prospective nation to be Eritrea but to the entire continent as well. If the Greeks had Pericles, if the Vietnamese had Ho Chi Minh, if the Chinese had Mao Tse-Tung, if the Cubans have Fidel Castro, if the Irish had Eamon de Valera, if the Cape Verdean had Amilcar Cabral, we thought we had Isaias Afewerki. If the thinkers and philosophers believed that man is the measure of all things, we truly believed that, Isaias was the measure of all things.

        In light of the said rather bizarre mind set tittering on the verge of fascism and totalitarianism, we believed that, anything short of E.P.L.F’s aspirations, credos, political manifestos was an outcast, a reactionary or an outright treason. It was with this baggage we found ourselves witnessing a milestone as Eritrea was liberated in 1991. The year found itself ascending onto a pedestal on par with the Israelis as the latter founded a nationhood against all odds. The horizon seemed almost a scene of Shangri-La where we prided ourselves with a touch of bigotry as a special people with a unique natural attributions. I remember back in the early years when I was attending University, I had a huge poster of Isaias hanging in my dormitory where I showed it off to my class-mates as if he was some sort of a divine figure. In a midst of the intoxication however, I begun to sense that something was amiss. Few years into independence, we begun to see the real colours of Isaias as we start to witness the collapse of an edifice based on an illusion and smoke-sreen. It would be redundant to ‘narrate’ here all the fallacies and blunders committed by Isaias in independent Eritrea for you’re cognizant more than I do. It suffice to pose a question however: What exactly went wrong? How did Isaias manage to dupe us or talked us into believing that, the Gedli itself as the ever gutsy with a razor sharp intellect Yosief Gebrehiwet put it, was much of a liability as opposed to an asset. To answer the otherwise difficult and daunting question, I am still wrestling with myself to come to terms with my inner self.

          You honor me by sharing your mini-biography which I find is eventful indeed.

          I most definitely envy your courage to partly disclose who you are with the wolves lurking and gnashing their teeth.

          It is obvious that my posts have a very positive impact on you because you lavish me with praise for which I cannot thank you enough.

          When I decided to post my ideas, I had made a very considered decsion to remain incognito now and forever. So I regret I cannot reciprocate and provide my own mini-biography.

          We don’t know for how much longer, this frenzy to post the sum total of our indignation, in this Forum which Assena has most ably provided, will last before we all go our separate ways .

          For me, this exercise is very theraupetic and healing and your kind words regarding what I post has been a bulwark. It is a treasure.

            Maazza haftey,

            The reason I ‘gave’ you a glimpse of my life was to put it in a historical context where the genesis of E.P.L.F can not at times be seen in isolation. To be more precise, as we struggled to make ends meet, we found a consolation in the forceful idea that, Gedli was there not only to restore our dignity back but to set us free from economic hardships as well. By all means, I am not alluding that, well-off Eritreans were less patriotic or nationalists. Having said that, I sure respect your decision to remain as you put it incognito. If I have over-showered you with praises, I am sure you deserve it and I meant it.

    Lol,how massive is massive? 67-72 ppl with a massive posts?

    Have a look at what Amanuel Biedemariam wrote (ERITREANS IN NY ) to describe part of what was in NY.

    There are not enough words to describe what transpired on September 25, 2011 in New York City before, during and after the gathering with His Excellency President Isaias Afwerki. The festive-charged environment was indescribable and the event was a smashing success. The collection of Eritreans gathered covered the gamete. They came in droves from Florida after driving eighteen hours. Minnesota drove over 21 hours. Chicago 14. Grand Rapids Michigan drove over ten hours. From Edmonton Canada people drove for two days and Toronto drove for over ten hours. People drove from everywhere. Those that flew in from the West Coast and Europe came to Washington DC and boarded onto buses to New York with those that gathered from everywhere.

    It will be disingenuous to discount logistical problems people encountered on the way to New York but once they were loaded, and ready everyone was happy enjoying the ride with patriotic music playing, dancing and laughing. We started boarding about 3am and arrived in New York about 9 am, which is prompt for a trip from DC to New York. When we arrived, we were greeted by thick lines of crowd that covered blocks and blocks in a major city creating a traffic nightmare for the city. It was serene to be received by crowds of Eritreans adorned with colorful Eritrean flags and dressed in traditional outfits that beautified the glorious city of New York. They accorded New York grace and dignity unmatched by any. They were civil and smart about the meaning and magnitude of the event. The weather was calm and cloudy as we arrived.

    We hurried to get out of the busses to join the crowd. The people I came with all joined the long lines and I found my station in the media section. From that point on, I was oblivious to what was taking place outside. Our cell phones and computers were-not allowed in for security reasons so we did not have a way to communicate with those that formed lines to get in. My focus was inside and the assigned job.

    The event had so many moving parts that were readily visible. The stage was fitting and graceful. The stage setters did a good job setting a presidential setting worthy of the moment. The mood was festive. The security was tight making it difficult to move once you are inside because movements were restricted.

    When the president arrived, the hall was raucous and after a brief exchange of greetings, the President along with his delegates got seated on the front raw with the audience as the stage leaders announced the details of the program. They started the program with a moment of silence to remember our Martyrs graced by a beautiful sax by Tesfamariam. Soon thereafter, the EriAm Sisters sung our national anthem adding a spice to a memorable event. After that, the president and the delegates were lead to the stage amidst cheers of welcome that emanated from deep feelings of happiness and expression of love of someone deeply missed and loved.

    President Isaias presence was grand. He occupied the seat with such a grace and comfort. It was incredible moment for Eritreans to witness their beloved hero seated in front of them. The President was beaming with a glow of happiness that filled the hall. There are thousands of pictures that showed the grandiosity and beauty of the moment and the presence. However, there are no pictures that can describe the feelings and the happy expressions in the hall. I was seated close enough where I can see the action closer than many. However, the whole event appeared like a dream and passed way quicker especially relative to the time that passed to prepare and travel to the event.

    This event was by far the most significant event Eritreans held even more than the February 22 demonstration of 2010 thus far. The messages Eritreans passed were- embedded on every step. The messages were all loud and clear for all to see and bare witness to. It was saying loudly that Eritrea is in the house in New York City hitting New York like a lightning strike. The event showed how patient and disciplined Eritreans are. It showed the resilience of Eritreans. It showed that Eritreans speak with one voice, the same tone everywhere, and all the time.

    When I first approached the crowd; as I was greeting people and finding my way, I bumped into a Caucasian approximately six feet two in height. I said excuse me and I realized the man had communication equipments in his hand. Not sure what he was doing I asked him what his intentions were and he replied he is a reporter from Expressen. Expressen? I asked. He said it is a Swedish Newspaper. I asked what he was doing and he replied I came to film this event. And I asked him what his impression was? He said, I am surprised, i thought I was going to see more on this side not the other. He was saying it in a surprised and, disappointed tone. Evidently, he came with a predetermined idea to film President Isaias embarrassed by thousands of his enemies. Instead, he learned the truth about Eritrea and learned first hand that Eritreans are one with the President.

    That is one message that reverberated sending shockwaves everywhere our enemies are. That is the message Eritreans wanted to send loud and clear to the world, the State Department and, the stooge-agents of the criminal junta in Ethiopia that were parading as Eritreans. It is a message of solidarity. It is an answer to those who wanted to weaken Eritrea systematically by targeting specific strengths. They delivered the message in New York City where Ambassador Rice can see clearly that President Isaias Afwerki and Yemane Ghebreab are the people. There is no distinction and room to extricate any Eritrean from another for whatever reason. Eritreans are one with one-voice and, that is the message those who traveled millions of miles-collectively wanted to send and sent it loudly.

    There was not a whole lot of new information that His Excellency divulged. One of the first things that he said was that; ten years may have elapsed since I last saw you but you were never far away from me. That is expression of affection. And the feeling was mutual. Because nearly every question that people asked was accompanied by expressions of support and praises for his bravery. However, there were a lot of memorable statements that he made.

    He referred to those who went to Addis as nefseher meaning they are none but dead souls walking. He acknowledged that there is exploration for oil. He said that there is not much any one can do to us if we are united be it one or four powers. He said that all the lies the Weyane clique spewed over the years are exposed and that the moment is opportune for us to reengage at the UN. However, he said that the highlight of his trip was his meeting with his people.

    The audience asked many penetrating questions and the answers were satisfying. One young woman said that all the pertinent issues in Eritrea are addressed adequately and asked if the President considered human rights. He answered by saying that he fought for human rights for over forty years. The primary focus in Eritrea is and remains to ensure that the basic needs of Eritreans are met. That is the number one focus. He emphasized that Eritrea does not tolerate human right abuse at the government level and we have mechanisms in place to prevent abuse by the private sector as well.

    He also said that a great deal of effort is exerted and, steps are in place to get the Diaspora involved in development efforts of the nation. Eritrea is shifting into a new gear in regards to development effort and if we are going to succeed in achieving the outlined objectives for 2012-2013, we need to make sure the concerns of Diaspora Eritreans are addressed. Regarding the border issues, he said, it would be demarcated in due course. Moreover, he stressed that we need to focus on what we are doing.

    It was incredible to witness the harmony, affection and support the public showed President Isaias. The people did not come there to find out any thing new. They did not travel to demand anything from the President. They just showed up to show support.
    After the President left the Manhattan Center, I briefly spoke to Dr. Berhe Habtegiorgis and asked him what his observations revealed. His reply captured the moment precisely. I still remember his focus, enthusiasm and the exuberant tinkle in his eyes as he said, The world can not understand or believe what just transpired because it is in complete contradiction to what is taking place all around the globe!

    I was dead tired barely able to open my eyes before the President arrived but as as soon as he arrived, I was wide-awake and able to communicate on Facebook the entire event. When I left the building, I was excited to reconnect with my wife and friends that traveled with me for the event and eager to talk about what transpired and to discuss issues. And as soon as I came out and asked, did you have fun�? I saw this dazed gaze of disappointment filled with teary-eyes and heard; we didn�t get in. I melted. �You didn’t see the President; I shouted! �No. We did not see him. We didn’t even see him when he left because we were expecting him to come on that side and he came out on the back Very few people saw him. Who else did not get in? I found out nearly all the people that came with me did not get in along with over 2000 people. President Isaias expressed his disappointment by saying �I thought the City of New York was a big city.�

    We were all tired beyond expression; hungry and sleepy but captured by the moment and surprised by the fact that thousands could not get in. We knew there were people that were not able to get in but we did not know the size. However, as I spoke with those that did not get in, my feelings started to change dramatically.

    The sadness that I felt turned into pride. I begun to understand the resolve and satisfaction that these people felt. My friend Haile said, �Don�t get me wrong, I would have loved to have been inside and enjoy the moment, but the purpose of my journey was to give support to my President and show solidarity and I have accomplished that regardless where I was and, I am satisfied.� Every story that I heard was more uplifting than the other. A father with his four grown up kids came from California paying thousands and said that he was proud to have been there even if he was not able to get in. A group from Grand Rapids Michigan is very popular because they kept the mood very uplifted by singing and saying �Masse� a form of rap entertaining the crowd. A family that came from Edmonton Canada after driving two days, a family that drove from Florida and unable to get in expressed the same feeling of satisfaction. Those that did not get in were there without rest, food and water for over six hours. They stood faithfully with discipline wowing NYPD in fact comforting the police in some instances.

    The organizers were faced with logistical nightmares considering the short notice, the security considerations, the uncertainties and the distance they had to deal with. One has to think of the list of chores and details that they needed to sift through. The coordinating efforts are nightmarish to think about. But it came through beautifully and there were many reasons why it was a success.

    Firstly, it is because Eritreans are very organized. Eritreans can mobilize faster and in greater numbers for their nation any time and anywhere. That is due to years of experience and organizational structures that were formed during days of the struggle for liberation. In February of 2010 Eritreans successfully organized large demonstrations to oppose the illegal sanction levied by the US against Eritrea. And ironically that major event paved the way for this presidential gathering that brought people from everywhere.
    Secondly, it is because Eritrea takes a center stage in the life of every Eritrean in ways I have never seen anywhere. In fact it is mind boggling considering the fact that Eritreans sing, dance, and laugh, cry, wed and talk Eritrea every single second. Eritreans think and talk Eritrea. Eritreans live for Eritrea. Eritreans are aware and educated about their country. They are cognizant of all the threats, the challenges and opportunities. And they know how to fight and make use of the opportunities presented to them. This is one occasion that Eritreans seized like there is no tomorrow.

    Conclusion
    There are moments that change lives and take place once in a while. This occasion was one of those moments. There were many heads of states that gathered in New York for the same UN conference President Isaias attended. And I am certain none were received with the passion and enthusiasm. No one was accorded the kind of welcome President Isaias received.

    None of the people that came to see the President came to demand or complain; they came to support and show him solidarity. It has been a while now since there has been a concerted effort made to demonize President Isaias and give inaccurate picture of what Eritrea and Eritreans are. There have been many hysterical noises made by handful opportunists. It was exposed on Sunday 25 September that they truly are the walking dead (nefseher) as the President called them.

    Eritreans came with a purpose united in a vision in a surreal environment making indescribable spiritual connection with each other and their president. He embraced the moment and gracefully delivered unscripted speech from the heart in a presidential setting confidently. The journey was tough and long but joyous and historic. The sacrifices made were all worth it because, in the process and in the moment, we affirmed to each other that we are all Eritreans in a mission to express that we are one �Eritrean in New York� in support of our nation and President!
    This is what i call a MASSIVE DEMONSTRATION, can’t thank them enough. Well done deki Adey

    Indeed �Hade hzbi, Hade libi�!

      Amanuel Biedemariam,

      What a bull crap!!! I just lost interest in the middle of the ‘article’ or should I say, w’dasie khentu. You people are pathetic. I can’t believe you have the temerity to repeat what Isaias had to say in the meeting regarding human rights. When Eritrea is ranked last in the list of countries which imprison journalists; when Eritrea has no freedom of press or worship; when the prisons of Eritrea are imbued with political prisoners where they have never seen a day in a court of law ten years and counting; when the shoot to kill policy is still holding as frustrated young people try to cross the border, you unabashedly telling us that, Isaias was right when he said, the government of Eritrea at the highest level doesn’t tolerate human rights abuse and he went on to say that, he fought for forty years to uphold the value of human rights. Are you f**king kidding me? Are you guys for real? Ata entay aynet sebat ekhum? Ember do qurub h’linan hangolin alekum eU? I have never heard any thing remotely as absurd as these pathetic good for nothing zombies who would do anything to bend over for an egomaniac dictator to abuse them day-in and day-out. Damn, I am furious.

      • LULU K. October 4, 2011

        I agree with you completely.The Eritrean people demand justice and the rule of law. For the despot to claim that he upholds human rights is the greatest joke of the decade. One of those rights is for the people of any nation to choose their leaders in free and fair elections. He remains to day as one of the few un-elected and, therefore, uncostituitional leaders in the world aside from those countries ruled by monarchies. For how long does a leader rule “provisionally”? Certainly not for 20 years by any strech of the imagination. He claims he was focused on basic needs for the last 20 years. Who says basic rights and other human rights issues are mutually exclusive? For a true reformist, they go hand in hand.Let transparency and accountabilty reign!
        Amanuel Baedemariam, Sophia Tesfamariam, Dr. Gideon , Dr. Berhe and Thomas Mountain are certified PFDJ propangadists who will answer to the Eritrean people someday just like their masters in Asmara.I still remember one of the most laughable articles wriiten by Mr. Mountain outrageously
        claiming that the British security guards captured on Eritrean shores came to assassinate the top Eritrean leadership in Massawa. It turned out that there was no proof to tie them to this crime just as there is no proof against the true Eritrean heroes who are dying and languishing in Era Ero.Is
        holding people without trial remotely connected to upholding human rights as the tyrant claims?

          Authentic and fiercely independent stands like that represented by your post will go a long way to contribute towards sending the tyrant and his handful cronies to the gallows awaiting real justce in the legendary (fair and clement) homemade Eritrean style, sooner than later.

          I just wanted to express that when reading your post, the way you state facts in a nut shell speaks volumes and fills one with hope and anticipation for a better day in our homeland.

          It most definitely helps to gather momentum and effectively fuel our indgnation to shout ENOUGH! like our brethern in Germany and elsewhere.

        Amanuel Biedemariam is a militant of Hgdef and seems to be not man enough (or is incapable) to see glaring facts squarely in the face. I would say he is probably delusional as is true of all those in Hgdef’s camp like your goodself. The motivation may be either personal gains or a weak mind. Whichever it is, it sees x in place of y. I wish I could see you guys, in the not too distant future, how you will behave when the dawn comes! When change occurs, normally, weak minds jump into the winners wagon and switch loyalty faster than lightening, their nature is such. Very few, if at all, remain loyal to a deposed oppressive system. Remember Mussolini’s and Hitler’s gaping followers of hade libi hade hzbi? Faster than lightening, they denied their gods.

        I will post my comments on Biedemariam’s post separately. I somehow suspect most of the stuff of his post is a Party bulletine which Hgdef prepared way before the event. Otherwise, Biedemariam has one thinking he is an Asmari or WaTa. Lelele. He would explode with joy if the gathered at the Center kissed the ground DIA walked on (like some did for Haile Selassie early on in his reign), physically and literally, as Hade Libi Hade Hzbi and Hade HLNA! This is what Hgdefites like Hargets (a professor?) without a shred of hlna, work day and night for.

        “Moise Tshombe gziecka testebe”, said an Eritrean newspaper article of the early 1960s when Tshombe arranged for Patrice Lumumba to be beaten and tortured before his execution by a firing squad.

        No drop of blood in our country, but gzieckum testebeyu, hgdefites. Sooner than later, you will be falling flat in your ***es!!!!

        Before, it is too late, as a brother, I ask you to open your eyes and see facts squarely in the face, if you can.

          keep dreaming mazzaye,we the real eritreans would rather be imprisoned,tortured,and killed by our kubur PIA than to ask you korakur woyane for help,and these meeting addicted sheyeTti hzbom (opposition mukhan yemhreley do?) are veeeeeeery unlikely to bring change in Eritrea.
          So zhabekum keep barking and we will keep marching along side our kubur abonan,hawnan and wednan PIA.
          Thanks,Keep ur advice for urself.
          AWET N NHAFASH N MERIHNNET N ISAYAS-TEFETSEME.

      Abdi,

      What Amanuel Biedemariam is so drank with worshiop of a god, he forgot to honor the one and only Harbegna Gilai, who has chaufferured the president through the mines and trenches.. Tegadalay Gilai was not a diplomat but a warrior, but not even a single silent ceremony to honor the life….Amanuel, grow up…reality is fast catching up with you….Have no doubt you are innocently and genuinely believe what is orchestrated for you….In our culture of culture when any human being dies we stand to allow the parade that escorts the corpse on a last farewell bid….we stop remove our hats, bow our heads, and pay respect.
      Abdi and Amanuel were so drank….they ended up in Utopia.

      As they say in the south….”God bless your heart”

      The crowed was excessive, the heat oppressive and the entertainer was bad. The man was inflamed and his throat sounded very sore. I am not sure how the fragile man managed to survive. i think, he should be in his grave than in his present situation.

    Do not delet my post,try to convience me to accept ur opinon instead..

      Abdi

      I think you have self deleted yourself by a Wokaria/fox behaviour by using an honorable Eritrean with faith based name of god’s slave… You are a slave to….(please fill in the blank yourself…as I don’t wish to do it as a form of respect). But I think I can have a chat over beer/ooops water with you and still laugh….Hope to see you smiling in a wonderful! peaceful! blissful and land of Abune Filipos, Shiekh Jamil….We can not afford to loose if we have to compete with one hell of people ya habibi 1.3Billion chinese, 1.0 Billion Indians….stay cool.

    Amanuel Eyasu hawey,

    Please excuse my language on the above response to a certain Amanuel Biedemariam. I got carried away with emotions as I couldn’t tolerate their pathetic self indulgence and hallow praises.

    Thanks God!
    Finally the time for change has come slowly but surely!

    The youth have now got their voice back.

    They should remember their history…

    For more than 40 years, the Eritrean flag
    has been the symbol of our nation’s strength and unity. It’s been a source of pride and inspiration for millions of citizens. And the Eritrean flag has been a prominent icon in our national history.

    Here are the dictators that took down our national flag and replaced it by their own flags, Ethiopian flag in 1962 and Isaya’s flag 1993.

    Let’s not fool ourselves by raising Isaya’s flag. We should all raise one flag, our original flag; the flag of our fathers, the flag of our martyrs.

    • Tzegay October 3, 2011

      Basically, you are right. But we can challenge PFDJ only together. Which means, regardless of the flags we wave. Once PFDJ disappears, Eritreans will decide which flag and which type of government they want (I hope a government by the people for the people with the blue-coloured flag).
