Ginbot-7 “the Authoritarian Isayas regime is an Angel”
Today we are in an important season after the Arab spring where many people in African and Middle East are desperate for change and are fighting for their basic human rights and rule of law.
Today we are in an important season after the Arab spring where many people in African and Middle East are desperate for change and are fighting for their basic human rights and rule of law. Eritreans are also in a middle of very decisive struggle for rule of law and democracy and the Ethiopian people are expected to appreciate and support our cause.
People in Eritrean lived under oppression and fear for the last 21 years; as a result people are continuously expressing their opposition’s through various means. The ruling regime in Eritrea who has no regards to humans rights and rule of law has put the whole country into disaster and resulted into a culture of hopelessness among the people. Today in Eritrea all aged from 18 to 70 is under conscription and living in fear as a result the young people are desperate to leave the country to live in places where there is no forced conscription and no rationing of their daily bread.
The Ethiopians people understand what is living under authoritarian regimes and they are the first people who show compassion for Eritreans. Despite the regimes rhetoric against Ethiopia and Ethiopians many Eritrean people are flooding to the Northern Ethiopian villages for refuge. This is a clear indication how the two people are deeply interrelated and help each other.
The Eritrean people suffered serious abuse under the hands of the authoritarian Isayas Afwerki and after years of cry the international community has realized the extent of the human rights abuse in Eritrea and are investigating it. For such type of crimes committed in Eritrea, the prime witnesses are those who lived in Eritrea the last 21 years and still are living under those conditions. The commission of inquiry were refused to enter Eritrea to do their job, fortunately they are able to hear from many abuse victims who run away from Eritrea in recent years. Those victims are claiming with graphic presentations and proof that an abuse had happened on them. Is not it an irony to threaten victims for you have never been part of it?
Why on earth are we threatening those people as false witnesses?
Do our culture and our consciences allow us to stand with the dictator and threaten the victims?
The commission of inquiry is preparing to another hearing on the human rights abuse in Eritrea and all Eritrean people are desperate to hear a positive outcome of this hearing despite few self-centred supporters of the dictator.
At this time the Eritrean victims of the brutal dictator expect the Ethiopians to stand along the victims and be a voice to them. It is the responsibility of every one to bring those who commit crime to trial. As a matter of fact, the international community are preparing to take serious measures on some individuals from the regime. However some opposition parts including Ginbot-7 are making serious historic mistake by alienating themselves with the dictator (what hypocrisy?) If those people are fighting for a rule of law in Ethiopia then what are they advocating when it comes to Eritrea. They claim the Authoritarian regime in Eritrea has not done any abuse and is pure like an angel. They are not only blessing the regime themselves but also they are coercing their fellow Ethiopians to endorse their actions.
There is always tomorrow and for someone who claims fighting for a rule of law and democracy do not you dare the Eritrean people also deserve that? Ginbot-7 and other Ethiopian oppositions and their fellow Ethiopians please refrain from alienating yourself with the dictator for he is going to go soon.

A dictator supports a dictator. Don’t forget these were the people who fought aganst the independence of Eritrea and now I don’t expect them to stood with the oppressed Eritrean people.
Beside that they know Isayas is their brother

I wonder who is fooling who,the Eritrean regime is a dictatorial system itself, how it could be to support the Ethiopian organization called Gunbe 7 by helping them tit…for tat to democratilize Ethiopia while there is non in eritreaia itself. It looks a ajoke, and we know very well the root of this organization Eprp were the victem of Shaebia and Weyani combined forces destroying them in Assinba mountain before they came to the governmental level. Then,now how come that they became friends to destroy the Ethiopian government and to fool the world with such childish acts to order every member of the Gunbet ..7 to sign a pettion to show the world begging to have mercy on the saction that to be raised on the coming days on Genva. What an arm twisting term on the poor organzition of out frustration and despration by the Eritrean dictatorial system.

May I add some more points.
“Ediyu” the force of Mengesha Siyum had a stronger force than Weyane and destroyed most of the WEYANE forces at the battles of Badima, sheraro, adihageray, adidaero and selekleka sub zone with in a short period of time in 1975. But Ediyu was completely destroyed at the battle of Adi Daero sub zone on the same year in 1975 by the joint forces of Shaebia and Weyane.
Then after Ediyo disapear from
the whole region of Tigray.

I recall a group of EPRP fighters many of whom said to be former AU students, had crossed into Eritrean territory, escaping from Weyane atrocities. At that time the ELF who was in Badme and environs, protected them, and helped them to reach a safe place beyond areas controlled by Weyane.
As already mentioned above, both Weyane and PLF worked hard to destroy Tigray Liberation Front in Irobland. Although Tigray benefited a lot from Weyane’s rule, the intolerant nature of this organization makes it a sister of Higdef. In Tigray, to this day, nobody dares to express a different view that contradicts the official line of Weyane. Anyone who happens to have some differences with them can be safe only in Addis.

It is a shallow organization,in order to gain a save haven,to stand against the very principle you claim you are fighting for,that is cheap,sleazy politics.Take a note deleyti fithi,at this important juncture of Eritrean politics,when things seem to be bleak and desperate, when we are down and almost out,when our faculties are in disarray,when boots of tyranny is smashing our faces against the concrete,…this is the time you really come to know who is your friend and foe. I been there in my personal life. It ain’t easy, but we shall overcome!!!

Many diaspora Eritreans are not signing to save the dictator, People are getting smart as they know it is going to be costly in the future as documents will be opened .
They are also aware of the Deleyti fithi presence within the internal security apparatus of the regime who are exposing the regime , and they are also going to expose the puppets.
This hopeless Tembenay is leading without accountability . There is no constitution, and no parliament to question him.
He will do anything and everything to stay in power.
As usual he is siding with Ethiopian traitors, who don’t believe in Eritrean independence and territorial integrity.
The traitors are working hard to save the dictator as he is one of them, because he believes in a united Ethiopia with sea outlet.
What are the Eritrean Red Indians as they are called in Asmara /due to their daily drinking officials going to do about this? NOTHING NOTHING.
Death to the Tembenay and his puppets.
He tried Demhit, but they abandoned him and now the worst enemy of the Eritrean people.
Death to the worst enemy of the people.

Back in 2011, Eritreans had signed a petition to the white house against the Sanctions that were raining at the time.
They needed 25000 signatures to get a response from the US President. It only ended up mustering close to 6000.
What was statistically interesting however was the ratio of signatories by presumed religion category. Under 100 had a traditional moslem names while the remaining thousands a none moslem. It didn’t work then and it will never work this time either but it goes to show how desperate higdefities and their leader are right now.

The most and best chance is we must have struggle to remove the regime in all aspects . The more the regime staying,the most our country situation will be worries !!!

Governance failure in Eritrea
Governance failure is the root causes of the economic problem in Eritrea that causes the poverty and high refugee crises of the country. The Eritrean Economic development stalls because the government does not uphold the rule of law, pursue sound economic policy, make appropriate public investments, manage a public administration, protect basic human rights, and support civil – society organizations including those representing poor people in national decision – making.
There is not a rule of law in the country that involves security in private property and tenure rights, safety from violence and physical abuse, honesty and transparency in government functions, and predictability of government behaviour according to law. Eritrea fails to achieve these basic standards, due to authoritarian ruler who use violence and corruption to hold on power and often because there is not a rule of law, institutions for government accountability.
The government does not have a sound economic policies involve a rational balance of responsibilities between the private sector and the public sector to secure sustained and widespread economic progress. Overall the government of Eritrea is not only fails in his governance, but also incompetent for the economic change of the country. The poor leadership of the government which leads the country to the high poverty, refugee crises and political instability.
