Comment: This is very sad to hear. I cannot understand why a movement that claims to bring democracy would dispatch without a clear vision and strategy. I cannot understand experienced intellectuals and diplomats having no clear vision for democratic Eritrea as accused by Assenna. Personalizing and secretly managing people’s struggle for freedom and democracy and trying to monopolize the struggle by rejecting the resistance in Diaspora contradict with the concept of democracy as universally understood to be.

Assenna et al has accused Medrek of committing two undemocratic procedures: Secretive and Exclusionist symptoms and has provided evidence in my understanding. Medrek does not have the benefit of the doubt here but rather the burden of defending itself through explanation. Silence won’t vindicate Medrek from these accusations, counter-arguments may! I consider failing to respond as admission by silence in my judgment.

Hopefully they will respond and we must wait but it seems mandatory for the existence of this group to answer the following questions precisely:

a)     What is Medrek’s political program and can we see it in writing? What does it represent? What is its objective and how does it forecast to achieve it?

b)    Is Medrek open for all Eritreans or only for specific group of the society? How is it organized?

c)      What was the Belgian meeting about, who participated and what happened there? Why was not Assenna invited at least from journalistic point of the relationship?

Comment: The accusation here is concerning the group’s intellectual arrogance induced exclusive nature  specially towards Eritrean intellectuals or the group discriminates some portion of the Eritrean society and tries to privately manage the country’s political business without the involvement of other available intellectuals and diplomats on the basis of intellectual arrogance.

It looks like this brother can substantiate the allegation by means of concrete evidence upon Medrek’s counter-response in self defense: he does not have to do this otherwise for silence implies admission of the charge for Medrek.

Comment: I don’t think the past history of Medrek’s members or leaders should matter in this struggle for unified resistance against the regime unless the group limits its members to individuals belonging to a certain social classification (only EPLF members of special type/s, the type/s being what the accuser provided above). I believe challenging the charges in public were more important for Medrek than apologizing for their past activities in the struggle.

In so stating, I believe the expression “ገሊኦም ድማ ጅ-15 ኣንጻር ሃገራዊ ጸጥታ ኢሎም ካብ ህዝቢ ክንጸሉ ጎስጋሳት ዘካየዱ ታሪኾም ዝደምሰሱ እዮም።” has the heaviest point that matters to the Eritrean people vis a vis Medrek’s integrity as a group. The accuser, therefore, should come forward and spell these people out to justify his allegation so that we can take it from there. Medrek, however, does not have to challenge this allegation in my opinion without the accuser’s exposure of the individuals in question.

Comment: This is a very serious allegation against Medrek. It discloses Medrek’s fishy and yet exclusionist nature if left unchallenged on the open as soon as possible. There is no reason for this group to exclude the exploding Diaspora resistance without contemplating dictatorship if this accusation is true.

Comment: I agree completely because the independence struggle required unique methods and strategies including secrecy to succeed but the momentous Eritrean questions are freedom, justice and democracy that require inclusiveness, transparency and openness to succeed. The extra secretive culture of the struggle is outdated and irrelevant to our democratic mission, needless to say that it is primitive for today’s interconnected universe. Every movement or group claiming for democracy should be rejected unless it clarifies and preaches for the objective and method of achieving it in writing and in practice.

Comment: I agree that the era of ELF and EPLF has expired. We Eritreans in unison fought the Ethiopians at different levels of affiliation and participation but at the same level of sacrifice to reject the notion that only the active members of ELF or EPLF should run the country because “they brought independence”. This is distortion of the history of the struggle. The Eritrean independence would never have materialized without the people’s support inside out and our family members that gave their lives for the cause by direct involvement. We supported the struggle morally, economically and diplomatically from outside and our family members sacrificed their lives for our independence under the two fronts in question. Our martyred family members, our dedicated attachment to the struggle both emotionally and materially, and all the lost opportunities and suffering associated to it should clearly and equally represent us as good as the claimers of the theory in the process by which independence was achieved.

The fact remains that EPLF’s success in achieving independence is a cumulative effect of the struggle waged by the people under the leadership of the two fronts (ELF and EPLF), a mother and a child. Eritreans have no time to either try the mother’s way of political power management or to recycle the child’s style of absolute dictatorship. We have already suffered 23 years of oppression under the EPLF for said notion and more than two decades of experience should be enough to expire the value of the two fronts for a new beginning in democratic Eritrea: that is more than enough for our society to move on to democracy because we did not give the active members of the struggle the license to dictate us forever though they did it by force until this moment in time. No individual or group in this category except Democracy represents us from now on because our society cannot afford to recycle the two liberation fronts after involuntarily sustained the consequence of independence for this long. We have no exceptional political treatment or privilege to give the active fighters of the struggle except humanitarian because we already did it to this point of social disintegration, intolerable ignorance, arbitrary justice, total economical disaster and traumatizing exodus of the youth more than our share.

Comment: I regret the exclusion of brothers Adhanom and Tekeste from the Medrek activities though I have no idea why? Assenna’s accusation, however, needs response from the accused for vindication because the statement is a qualified evidence for judgment under a neutral justice system, which is the Independent mind. Once again, Medrek has the burden of proving Assenna wrong in public while silence would justify the accusation by default admission. Why would they discriminate the two veteran EPLF members if Medrek’s aim is to replace Afwerki with veteran EPLF individuals? What is going on with Medrek and what does it want to do?

Brothers Adhanom and Tekeste:  Did you individually or in group openly support the Vaccaroian unity movement and can you prove it to us so that we can defend you based on the merit of your consistency? If the answer is negative, don’t you think this recklessness would imply anti unity principle or the same exclusionist position on discussion against the Medrek at least from practical point of view? Don’t you think expecting to be included in Medrek and having no position on the Vacarroian movement contradict each other from neutral sensation of justice?

“We support all opposition forces against the regime” cannot be a good answer to my question because the Vacarroian movement is a special and most effective popular force in Diaspora that deserves special attention from all freedom loving Eritreans in the world. In accordance with this reality, any group that has not so far specifically supported this movement has a problem with democracy and freedom in future Eritrea. In any case we will see what the brothers may say to these questions knowing that silence would imply “no support for Vacarro” from logical and consistency points of view.

I like the idea very much and I encourage this to be done effectively to produce tangible result unlike in the past where we failed drastically in this regard. If there was something like that here in the States and it can be materially proven (place of meeting and reason for the meeting) Medrek must respond to vindicate itself from the charge because it reflects something wrong with its democratic makeup. Why would it miss the opportunity of supporting the intellectuals without intellectual arrogance and backward rigidity when in fact it should have participated as the member of that social classification to improve its scope and organize it stronger? Medrek must respond to be vindicated of the challenge by materially addressing the issue to the public specially if it were invited to participate and failed to do for a reason/s.

Comment: Another serious allegation by Assena that must be challenged through defensive response from the accused. The whole activity is fishy and smells terrible. It makes me think that the entire EPLF squad might probably have been uniformly indoctrinated for obstinacy and dictatorial mentality that have no place in today’s reality (if the accusation is true). It seems like the EPLF was a virus that infected its active members to behave uniformly forever. I did not expect this from the Medrek and I feel sorry for them if this is true.

It is hard to imagine the leaders of this group being anti democracy as such given their intellectual and diplomatic experience but we will see how they will defend this allegation in time, if they may without concluding our speculation on.

Comment: This is a very serious problem for Medrek if it has not yet shown solidarity with Vacarro on his unity movement. It would simply be unacceptable for freedom and democracy seeking Eritreans and in fact forecasts a dangerous plot behind the people, but only if true. There is no doubt that Wedi Vacarro deserves full support for what he has been doing. The movement happens to be the most dynamic and influential to date in the Diaspora resistance history with a great potential to succeed behind our support specially if it reconfigures itself and clearly defines its method of achieving democracy in Eritrea. Medrek at minimum should have considered this offering assistance instead of being threatened by it. Supporting the movement is the least a group can do to prove its democratic nature in my opinion.

Once again, ignoring this brings too many questions in my mind and greatly undermines the democratic integrity of the accused to say the least. How can they keep quiet on the movement that cannot be ignored? Medrek is wrong for keeping quiet about a movement too visible and active to be sidelined and has to expose its position on it immediately to continue enjoying the people’s respect in this journey. There is no way forward for Medrik without resolving this issue with the people!

Comment: I agree and in fact I see this as clear cut opportunism. Waiting for so long until the awareness level of the Diaspora raises and coming in to steal the show for another disaster in Eritrea is not good at all. There is no reason for anyone to believe that Medrek can succeed ignoring the Diaspora by only concentrating on our people inside the country to make the change and this by itself is very fishy to be comfortable on. What does Medrek want to do? Would it clarify its position in writing as well? My speculative prejudgment is based on one sided story of the issues between Assena and Medrek and thus, premature and non-conclusive until Medrek’s counter response.

Comment: Assenna must prove the accusation upon Medrek’s response. I think Medrek should come on the open asking for said evidence in this regard and challenging it on the merit to get out of this problem. We need to know this accusation in detail so that we know what we are dealing with and I hope Amanuel et al will teach us through examples for us to validate the accusation. Let everything come out in the open now!

Comment: Yes sir! The people must watch things carefully and independently take a position in order to protect Eritrea from another dictatorship. We need to independently check and balance the groups before it is too late. No group should be allowed to snick through without clearly defining its objective and anti-democratic forces must be rejected upon evidence. We have to figure out precisely where we are heading through clear projections and any group that fails to do this has a problem with democracy in my opinion. Assena’s exposure of the problems with Medrek is highly appreciated and democratic in nature: I wish the best to Medrek in challenging the accusations as soon as possible but please do not keep quiet for this decides your future in view of us, the Eritreans.

Abraham Haile:  First Isias Asfaha and others raised their concern, now Amanuel Eyasu stated his concern and tomorrow everybody will rise and shout them out if they start to climb the Medrek as Medrkhu already passed or expired. If needs they should apologize and tell us everything in minute details. People are on waiting to see their prompt response……
ON WAITING”

Comment: I agree that the accused must respond to the accusations and I am one of the people waiting for this. If there is any problem as such, apologizing and correcting the bug can resolve the issue into normalcy, I would think!

Mesfin: “Amanuel, you have reflected your personal interest which is fear, but do not confuse people. you have also reflected you character luck of tolerance and not able to work in a team and share your work. toy article is more to with the image if Medrak then facts.”

Comment: I disagree and in fact I think otherwise. Amanuel did the right thing exposing matters that concern all of us Eritreans. I don’t think this has anything to do specially with said “fear” unless Medrek defends the accusations effectively and timely to disqualify the accusations.

Amanuel: “Amanuel you are misleading the public and this is also a crime. Amanuel, I hope you will learn from your arrogant character, you are mixing your profession you are a reporter and report current affairs in Eritrea is good otherwise you are confused and you are also confusing others.”

Comment: I really don’t see Amanuel mixing his profession with another as a journalist. Journalists have the right to take a position on something and to involve in politics if they may. Politics including going for power democratically should be open to any Eritrean including Amanuel irrespective of profession.
