| Murder on the streets of Asmara
Earlier this week, on Sunday 3 April, the brutal Eritrean regime murdered tens of its own citizens. Forced conscripts who jumped from an army convoy were shot in cold blood and civilians who tried to help faced the same murderous response. No one knows exactly how many people have been murdered by the Eritrea regime this time but reliable reports say that nearly 30 conscripts were killed or injured, two civilians have been killed and an unknown number injured. Reports from Eritrea say that this group of conscripts – victims of the indefinite national service imposed by the Isaias regime – were being driven to one of the slave labour camps.With the hope of escaping this state sanctioned slavery tens of these conscripts tried to escape the convoy as it was stopped in the heart of Asmara. Troops loyal to the regime responded by firing indiscriminately into the crowds. Tragically, the BBC has reported, the civilian casualties came when “some of the recruits’ friends and family used a bus to block the road to help them escape”. Those injured were taken to hospital where many sadly died of their injuries. Those who survived are reported to be under heavy guard. Just this afternoon, the regime has acknowledged the deaths. The Government’s spokesperson has claimed two “national service members died…when they jumped and fell from military trucks.” A paltry response to the murder of young Eritreans. As repugnant as these actions are and as tragic as it is to see young Eritreans murdered in their own capital city by their own government, it’s happened before and it will happen again. Those of us who care about the future of Eritrea and of Eritreans must now renew our efforts to support the Eritrean people and promote their universally recognised human rights. In the coming days there is a vigil being held by members of the diaspora in London, UK. …………………………

genet,
You are not a real woman or mother because no woman or mother with children and family gets this cruel.

Genet HAYET doesn’t need to listen for some ghosts behind a scene .
At least show honesty and a little courage like her to be proud to introduce yourself .
Moki April 9, 2016
Is this the notorious Teclay, now posing as woman.
What a shameful person is this …
Genet-orginal April 10, 2016
Well mihret. And you are telling us you are woman
Follow your friend abate. Now, you three should go hell!!!. I don’t have to tell you again. You came from tigray online. So you should go to hell.
Mihret April 10, 2016
genet,
Cheap shot and just like your Higdefs masters anyone with opposing opinions or views must be with Weyane or with CIA, may be you and your friends were trained to repeat the same failed propoganda again and agin.
You always use tigray online to blackmail others and i just wonder if you are a full member active supporter of them (tigray online).
Once again only a heartless person would be that cruel and surely not the kind Eritrean mother and woman. Your cheap and childish tigray on line accusations is not going to work with me or scare me and i stick with my comment.
Genet-orginal April 10, 2016
mihret
Why don’t you visit tigray online. Until you do, you will not know what cruel is. Go to tigray online for more information.
Mihret April 10, 2016
genet,
Please tell me why i should go to tigrayonline to learn about what cruel is? As a normal kind heart Eritrean woman and mother i know more than i need to know about what and who really cruel is but maybe you need to go to your tigray on line to be cruel.
Eritreawit April 10, 2016
Mihret, you must be new here on Assenna, can’t you read what that ‘oromai Eritrea” is saying ? He is telling you and us that Eritrean parents teach hate, while he himself was brought up in care in Eritrea this cancers of our society including the dictator are the eating our people from inside, Genet-Original told him to back off, that is all. DO not ever question her realness ufffff.

Why are you upset. No body force you to come to assenna. I did not come to your home Tigray online. It seems you are upset that we Eritrean know what you guys are saying at Tigray online.
You don’t like it here, then go back where you came from. FYI, I can’t put my finger on it yet, but you may be are a return subject with a different pen name. keep commenting and I will figure it out.

Just the same old and biggest talkative empty/stone head jihadist Somali warlord coming back and lurking with more and latest nicks of justice Eritrea on top of Hagherawi, Wedihagher, ertra n Arabawian. Nsane, Moki, Asmara Eritrea, Wedebat and so many fancy pen names.
Wedi Mohammed simply stop running away from donating and paying urgently to the Assenna’s fund before people can take you seriously. You also need testing your head urgently, you sad muslim creature must really be living in “hagere fanTasia”-the land of muslim toys and just keep on playing with your violent jihadist toys.
Abate April 11, 2016
After reading all this; i say to myself Eritrea will never be good with u people. U r venomous, hate mongering creatures with serious identity crisis. Every Time a rational person is poised to correct you start to bark like dogs.

Not near enough. Let’s run the embacies of the regime and finish its agents here abroad. A man dies only once.
Asmara Eritrea April 9, 2016
My personal view is to go even further than picketing Eritrean Embassies across the world. We should find a way of capturing Isaias [alive], bring him to a court of law and convict him for crimes against humanity. He should then be locked up in one of his favourite shipping containers and the key thrown away to the bottom of the Red Sea. Only then will Eritrea be at peace with itself.
As to the twin Yemanes, one should pity them for they know not what they are doing. These two cliques live in fear that they would be beating up by the bully. What a childish way to run a country!
As to the rest of us Eritreans, we should be ashamed of ourselves to see our country misruled by a bunch of brain dead individuals. Our martyrs must be turning in their graves – we have let them down big time.
Eritrea forever, death to dictatorship.
AHMED SALEH !!! April 9, 2016
Deleyti fithi in diaspora tried their best to highlight Eritrean causes
but the wall of silence inside the country took long than expected and
we understand it can’t be done without their participation . At these
critical situations to focus on forming united strong movement needs urgent attention .
And we should tolerate political or civic groups presence regardless their difference than playing like fools at the expense of those victims
who endure sufferings inflicted by HGDF security thugs .
WE BELITTLED UNITY TO LOOSE IT’S GROUND AND FOUND OURSELVES DISORIENTED FROM LIFE REALITY . Time to fix the bridge that disconnect us .

This regime has to be toppled down.This is the beginning of the end.The regime has done so much damage to the country.People are still watching, even they do something worse than this.And a time when they Will their disaster.It can’t go on like this.

Some comments really lack sense of perception about the reality.Being on your own guard, how can you give intructions and throw unfair blames to the public at home? Silent majority…..100 times. Why do you expect miracles while the diaspora could move an inch towards the desired direction????
Almaz April 9, 2016
Sad two died (martyrdom according to Eritrean official.) Let us not be complacent. Eritrea government, either we accept it or not got a rule and we need to play by the rule and work for a change. Stop using 18 years old kids for your end game. Hate is not going to take as anywhere.
AHMED SALEH !!! April 9, 2016
Ask the 18 years old kids inside the country in desperate situation
than we bring unrealistic arguments based in emotion . And after we
heard all nonsense occurrences to inflict harm you want us buy words
of hate and rule of law . Only fools listen misleading ideas while
these young generation kept in darkness at their own country . Get
real before we speak on behalf our Youngs and try to put our feet
in their shoes to feel their pain .
Truth hurts , we can run but we can not hide under its rug .
Almaz April 10, 2016
Dear Ahmed, well, To me the current question inside Eritrea (not the diasporas) is not to burn the house with all its inhabitance (Arab spring!) rather to live in a moderation. Yes life is tough and progressively getting bad. Hope another tomorrow will be an inflection point with smooth transition w/ preserving all the progress made by EPLF and its predecessor…. Having said that let us all think outside the box and work towards a peaceful coexistence. Kill him depose him etc will not work and will head us to an endless savage cycle. — this is playing to he trap created by Meles and USA. Selam for now.

For every action there must be some reaction . And to save a whole
family from dangerous intruder you use available means even if it
takes to stub or shoot him . What will happen next can not be worst
than the possibility of crime in that family .
Do not forget Eritreans were forced to raise arms and die in defense
civilian population from Ethiopian soldiers . I truly believe it is
a blessing to fight against any form evil deeds for the sake of weak
and helpless people . Our young generation are the lost and forgotten
victims of ignorance who pay heavy price .
Almaz April 10, 2016
Selam Ahmed, well some says Newton law works best on none living matters but, forced application on living things got uncontrolled reaction bewares of what you wish. Eye for an eye is outdated and is the action of ignorance. Let us have patient. Serenity comes only if you wish and work for it in peaceful environment. Think of Mandela /Gandhi/ and others. yes I lost a brother and more in the armed straggle and its pains me to see my fellow Eritrean disagree on little tings. What is 10, 15 years of service let us say there is tomorrow. As to some of the polices of PFDJ like in business, I agree it is time to think different and I think they are getting it. Let us give them time and space so that they correct there mistakes and come with a good policy. Almaz
Amanuel April 9, 2016
Did u mean the government of shaebia. There is no government in eritrea but a gang group and kingadir bahalti cabine.
Almaze April 10, 2016
Dear Amanual, not sure if this is a news to you, At any rate, what ever name you give the PFDJ is the king maker and the only organized group in the country and abrod. So accepting this and workng to change them is our only way out of tnis mess.Let us do this for the sake of the young (talking about the 18 Y in Eritrea)
justice for Eritrea April 10, 2016
Almaze, PFDJ is not a king maker, rather a zombie maker. PFJD is not organized group at all. They are lying to you. PGDJ is dying in its death bed. When a so called gov is killing children in the middle of the street, that is not a sign of being organized.
Almaz April 10, 2016
Amanual, As to dying, I beg to differ but you are entitled to your opinion. If you think PFDJ is lying well I say to you I am adult enough and living in the west to tell when someone is lying to me in a grandiose scale. One thing for sure is that PFDJ is alive and kicking to the extent of coming to our turf and lecturing kids some born other grown in west about there ideology. Tell me– who among the over 20 or so of the called oppositions is doing this. It frustrates me to even think about it. As to the sad death of the two kids it is sad but Eritrean day everyday. We need to start to think different. Let us put our heads together. So long. yours.

What???? Almaz, what the hell are you talking about?
What rule are you talking about? Who is using 18 years old kids for end game?
Are you deaf and blind or just plain STUPID!
Since you wrote something and deaf and blind people are usually smarter than the average person, you are definitely S T U P I D!!!!
Almaz April 10, 2016
Sista Genet sister to a sister writing. Why angry? Take it easy if you react like this on the screen, wondering how you will react when you face PFDJ. cool down and argue your point of view. We are not going to change an iota by yelling at each other. Do not be prejudices.There are quite a few physically challenged brothers and sisters who are smarter than my self. Have you heard of Haben Ghirmay, a Harvard law school deaf-blind an Eritrean graduate? I do not know about you you probable have a brine of Einstein. Seleam

Dear Eritreans living inside and outside Eritrea
Please Boycott all independence day events. Do not go to their stupid parties and guylas. If you have to go, go to demonstrate and condemn the atrocities committed by the oppressive regime.
We will celebrate and dance when Eritreans can live with freedom and justice in their country. Its not time for meaningless guaylas and dancing.
Stand in solidarity with our oppressed youth.
Stand in solidarity with prisoners of conscience that are languishing in dungeons and containers.
Stand in solidarity with Eritrean mothers and fathers living and dying in immense grief due to their children being slaughtered inside and outside Eritrea due to causes directly related to the oppressive regime.
And above all stand in solidarity with our martyrs and disabled veterans whose immense sacrifices is being betrayed
Genet-orginal April 10, 2016
Dear Justice
I agree with your point 100%
That is what all justice seeker Eritrean and their friends should do.
The reality on the ground is nothing to dance about. This shameful dictator is killing our youth even on the eve of 25th Independence day. This tell us the crime he committed is not and wasn’t due to poor leadership, but cruel and vengeful.
our people died to free themselves and after 25 years of independence, we have nothing to show off, except for horror story, after horror story.
Boycott the Isayas’s May 24, party!!!!

Yemane, the minister of disinformation” just twitted after thinking for 5 days on what to say. Yemane who proved to be a loyal prostitute to iseyas to be allowed to twitt said 13 national service members jumped off their moving truck and 2 died the rest injured and police fired shot to stabilize the situation only.
Let’s read it again and think about it.
Weddi Kebessa April 9, 2016
Oh when is going to stop our painful like these crimes are not going to stop if Eritrean people are not dump this regime his garbage grave .
Genet remind me one of Weddi khommarit’s regime supporeters argued me that about the disabled veterans who have been shot dead in Mai Habbar he said the regime did good job with them after short time his brother killed in mysteriously and I met him later and I found him deferent person like this one and Genet are SHABIA’s supporters SELfISH AND cruel
Genet tomorrow is your turn .

Funny boy
Show courage to reveal your identity than spewing filthy mouth in
public forum with no shame .
Genet
Please do not give him any regard to low life street boy talk . He reminded me the old song of Eritrean female singer that says ;
ABTI GHEZANA ABI HIDMO TIKHUAN KUNCHI MELIEMO
Even assenna moderators find hard time to figure out the source of
these bugs .

Weddi Tigray from tigray online, You know noting about kebessa
I Have news for you Assenna visitors from tigray online, When any comment includes “SHABIA” and the theme of the comment is all about Eritrean Gedli was wrong and Eritrean are paying for their sin, that is how we know the individual is not Eritrean. He/She embodys Mr Isayas Afowerq from Tembien. Their only solution for Eritrea is just to vanish. You, oromai, Teclay and others like them, don’t care about the Eritrean people. You all are poor actors. All you want is once again Eritrea and Eritrean to sacrificed for your comfort. Remember when mola the rat was having tea with Isayas the Tembienay in Asmera city for more than 15 years. Remember that? he was sent to work or spy on his cousin. Then he came home leaving Isayas alive and well to continue kill our people and hopefully to undo the Eritrean nation systematically. Isayas got mad at his tigray people and made deal with the Middleast countries to rent the rightful Eritrean ports. To you guys, what Isayas the Tembien has been doing in his host country Eritrea has been just fine, except now he endangered the little tigray alternative future. Now you people are mad as hell about not removing him from power. You are keeping this issue on the peripheral and continue to belittle the Eritrean people at the worst time of our lives. What a good neighbor you are. Such a real peculiar one!
Abate April 11, 2016
Genet i wish u knew the meaning of kebessa. Let me tell u kebessa is in tigre language and it is derogatory word against tigrigna. How long r we going to consider this as appropriate.
