ON My LAST ARTICLE ON UNITY
ogbai : “Unity is the best medicine to heal our wounds no doubt about that. But Mr. fetsum with respect for your hard work. WE, as your readers we would like to hear from you and likes, to tell us who is against unity in the opposition. And who is behind it we should know. I am wondering last time you said . If that is the case and true it is our weakness for not working hard to find out and expose them for those against UNITY with a clear prove. Otherwise blaming each other without knowing who is against and whats behind it, that is lack of information insde and outside of each organization,movements,even individuals. For us the ordinary people it will be hard to know and understand where the truth is. As the saying goes . Please feed us the truth, and we will do the rest.”
Comment: Brother Uqbai, I want you to first understand that I did not say the names I mentioned (needless to say I include brother Saleh Yenus in the list) were against unity but that I strongly suspect something is going on otherwise because they have been quiet on UNITY for a long time and specially at the moment where more people are openly addressing the issue in the WEBCITES and few activities have been going on with the opposition camp everywhere.
EXAMPLES
The youth groups are still divided and some interfering in the business of others like what happened between the US and the Bologna groups recently. They need role-models to correct them and to unite them. Our most famous activists that served as role models of change for a long time are absent here.
The complete absence of UNITY in our demonstrations should have been openly and strongly addressed by the distinguished activists in order to direct the overall energy towards the question of unifying all of us in the opposition camp for a transitional government in post-Afwerki Eritrea. I do not see any initiative from them to this effect; and I suspect the unhealthy QUITISAM to be intentional considering the obvious advantage of UNITY to the resistance for freedom and democracy in our country.
The controversial firing of Chairman Yusuf Berhanu from BAITO while preparation is underway for the all inclusive Eritrean Conference in Ethiopia may negatively polarize the outcome of the conference: this development needs attention by any PRO-UNITY Eritrean but they are absent here too.
Our opposition forces as we know are still divided and the EDA alone could not guarantee the unity of the scattered groups out of its command. The fact that it needs any help it can get from any Eritrean activists in this regard has become obvious: Yet, no initiative for a strong voice has been offered from the activists to encourage or pressurize the splinters for unity.
In the mean time, we Eritreans cannot afford to accommodate QUIETISM from our activists at this critical time where UNITY has seemingly become the best answer to our problems. What I am saying is that any activist can have an alternate solution to our common problem and I respect that full heartedly but one should bring it out for discussion and public awareness instead of keeping it private for another surprise in post Afwerki Eritrea. There should no more be private agendas on our common cause. If a person of their importance in this camp does not consider UNITY as a solution, one should then confidently provide an alternate solution: you cannot quietly watch without saying something in this situation specially if you are a prominent activist. You either advocate unity or something else on the open and I want to see this happen with our respected activists who did a lot to the resistance for freedom from dictatorship.
Ghenet: “It [my last article] calls on all the groups and individuals who we believe that they fight for the good and right of Eritreans. We all need to step up and swallow our pride and try to focus on our common issues than our differences. Our country as Amanuel Iyasu Said is too small to entertain our division. As people, we need to call on all leaders, intellectuals, elites, youth to lead us to democracy and peace.
Politics is not about bickering, and looking for differences. It is all about skills of looking for a common ground and making the most out of it. It is all about commitment and integrity. It is about looking to the future and having a vision. It is about trying to find ways to make people’s lives better. Do our politicians have these? Or are they trying to score points? Are they fighting over positions? Is their cause democracy? I doubt it, because democracy does not include bickering and fighting. It only has a place for discussion and respect.
All groups and individuals who do not have democracy and Eritrean people on their agenda and programs, they should stand out of the way and let us pass and not be spoilers.Saving our people should be our main goal.
To the youth, I say this is more your fight because you have all your lives ahead of you and do not get fooled by burn-out so called politicians. Have a vision and include everyone who has the same vision in the struggle. All we need is democracy. If we have that, we will have peace as well. PFDJ is counting on our division to stay in power. Let us teach the untouchable PfDJ once and for all!!!”

Comment: The Eritrean struggle consumed a big chunk of my generation’s lives and the Eritrean government swallowed the rest of it as you can witness in front of your eyes. Life slipped away for my generation because we trusted too much to ask about issues and feared openly standing for the welfare of our society. I have been in political asylum since 1976 hoping to return home after independence and here I am living my life in asylum 22 years after independence because of the terrible dictatorship that has been standing in the way of our freedom and justice. We did not check and balance the EPLF and we are suffering the consequence today.
It seems like we have been condemned to age and die in refugee life after we sacrificed too much for independence. Two Eritrean leaders Tela Uqbit and Afwerki to ever run our country with substantial authority messed up our society; the first under strong external pressure and the second by personal choice. One thing we can learn from our experience is that we have been toyed by our so called liberators and the youth groups should never allow being toyed by their leaders. Don’t let this slip away if you want to save your country and enjoy it with freedom and equality: Do not repeat history and learn from our experience about the dangers of following leaders blindly.
The struggle for purity on the question of UNITY is mandatory for Eritrea’s quest for democracy and freedom. This is time to march forward and not to stand still or to regress. This is the right time to question the integrity of the youth leaders and to challenge them on the question of UNITY. “TRUST ME” does not work anymore because it did not work in the past. We tried that with the EPLF and specially with Mr. Afwerki and you know what happened. “SHOW ME” on the other hand is a legitimate question for one to ask a leader or an activist in order to follow. SIKIFTA on the other hand is a destructive self deception that will burn you alive by your own making. Do not think SIKIFTA is okay: it is not because it is a disease that makes one a liar.
Love your leaders but do not trust them completely. Please respect your leaders by confronting them on the issue of UNITY. The Eritrean people do not deserve another betrayal from selfish politicians: they deserve democracy and freedom. Stop being taken for granted and respect yourselves by expressing your feelings about anything concerning the ERITREAN UNITY. Political unity is not about favoritism or cult development but it is about compromise and free exchange of ideas through equal participation.
As you know our distinguished youth leaders HAVE BEEN silent about UNITY and the only way I can show them respect is by asking WHY and the only way they can show their respect to the people is by confidently ANSWERING it without contemplation. Being a follower of a given political affiliation does not mean becoming a slave and conforming to the leaders unconditionally. You are not animals to be herded at will by power hungry individuals; please be confident and consistent on your democratic outlook and take your freedom of speech to find answers from your leaders BEFORE YOU CONDEMN YOUR PEOPLE AND YOUR GENERATIONTO ANOTHER DICTATORSHIP AND CIVIL WAR!
I respect Tesfay Seyoum, Elsa Chirum, Yoseph Gebrehiwet, Saleh Yenus, etc. enough to confront them on the question of UNITY. These have been the most outspoken and courageous activists of yesterday when we were all shutting up: they managed to get us here through collective effort. They cannot disappear from the scene at this critical time when the youth organizations are wobbling to stand on their visionless agendas WITHOUT A REASON. They cannot remotely watch the staggering level of division without involvement. The youth needs them more than ever in the past because UNITY has become the only obvious tool of defeating thedictatorship and building democracy in Eritrea. I will continue respecting my brothers and sisters in this category; by yet asking the following question
WHERE DO YOU STAND IN THE QUESTION OF UNITY AND WHAT IS YOUR POLITICAL STRATEGY OTHERWISE? WHAT IS PLAN ‘B’ IN YOUR LIST IF UNITY IS OUT OF IT SO THAT WE CAN ENTERTAIN IT TOGETHER WITH MUTUAL RESPECT?
On “National Unity Experiences- its challenges and opportunities: by Fesseha Nair”
Nair: “The political Opposition did not raise its political agenda to accommodate the Project of National Unity, A project that could bear financial, psychic and materialistic towards for the entire Eritrean components against the sacrifices they had made, in fact the political programs of the National Opposition forces never exceeded the hollow emotional rehearsal of the “National Unity”, an emotional rehearsals that could not be sufficient enough to encourage the people pay new and fresh sacrifices. Therefore, we find that a large segments of our people have started looking for other temporarily alternatives..”
Comment: Emotional rehearsal for temporary psychological satisfaction at the expense of genuine bliss from benevolent participation for peace and democracy in Eritrea is a sad situation to be in. The opposition could not “raise its political agenda to accommodate the Project of National Unity” because it is not firmly united. A weak and divided force can only produce weakness and division. It can only be a role model of grudge and unhealthy competition. Personifying national agenda and anger have become the modes of communication between the opposition forces. “the political programs of the National Opposition forces never exceeded the hollow emotional rehearsal of the “National Unity”” because the leaders are selfish and they lack maturity, the only condition a person needs to dignify emotion instead of reason. Problem of controlling emotional discharge is a derivative of lack of wisdom; the reason society excuses children for such a reaction.
Apparently, said temporary alternatives take different phases and more:
1) Dependence on external forces to solve the problem in whatever form it may come. Because of frustration (the result of lack of substance from the youth organizations and opposition forces) some Eritreans tend to support external input to resolve the issue on the ground. This is pessimism and as dangerous as it may seem to be they want to get it over with despite the consequence.
2) Sticking with the regime: Among other consequences related to the weakness of the resistance, this is a derivative of fear of another dictatorship in Eritrea because of mistrust. Who wants to struggle for another dictatorship after this experience?
3) Quietism: Some of us have chosen to stay quiet and watch the development in distance because of the hopeless environment created by the divisive opposition forces.
4) Neutrality: Some of us consider the two opposing sects similar to one another and therefore choose to stay neutral in this critical situation.
5) Some of us want to ignore all opposition forces and start from the scratch.
6) Some of us just hang on detached from nationalism with no forecast of whatever…..

We have to know the victim of Colonialism in the World as an Eritrean
Our appeal to history begins with a powerful simplification. It concerns the social psychology of European colonialism, built largely around stereotypes that have shaped perceptions and conflict for five centuries. One such perception was the idea among Europeans that non-European native people or colonial subjects were “backward,” trapped in their tradition. The experience of colonial rule encouraged this image, as European and non-European cultures compared one another within a relationship in which Europe had a powerful social-psychological advantage rooted in its missionary and military-industrial apparatus. This comparison was interpreted, or misinterpreted, as European cultural superiority. It was easy to take the next step and view the difference as “progress,” something the colonizers could impart to their subjects.
Colonialism is the subjugation by physical and psychological force of one culture by another—a colonizing power—through military conquest of territory and caricaturing the relation between the two cultures.It predates the era of European expansion (fifteenth to twentieth centuries) and extends to Japanese colonialism in the twentieth century and, most recently, Chinese colonization of Tibet. Colonialism has two forms: colonies of settlement, which often eliminate indigenous people (such as the Spanish destruction of the Aztec and Inca civilizations in the Americas), and colonies of rule, where colonial administrators reorganize existing cultures by imposing new inequalities to facilitate their exploitation.
Nowadays being an Eritrean becomes shameful due to the colonies Era, they shaped us towards their own bad sentiment and that is way we couldn’t took reliable Evidence on our identity. We are discriminating each other without any objective.

Considering the main reason why they hate the gov[under nationalism],they are well organized in AWRAJA and RELIGION basis.And I do not think they can go beyond that.
The fact that us and Ethiopians are brothers by blood and origin,it is very hard to differentiate instantly who is who.To this end, they do not have any problem to manipulate and make them to be their play ground.
Last but not least, without blaming them,knowing only that Ethiopians are the cause of all the mess in Eritrea, is halfway solution.

“The fact that us and Ethiopians are brothers by blood and origin,it is very hard to differentiate instantly who is who.”
Ato belay nega
Eritreans are brothers and sisters to all peoples of the neighboring countries:
Highlanders share culture and some history with Northern Ethiopia.
Western Lowlanders share culture and some history with Sudan.
Eastern Lowlanders share culture and some history with Yemen and other Ottoman Empire countries .
The Afars share culture and some history with Djibouti and Ethiopia.
All these historical relations are important and should help us build bridges with them, as long as they respect our sovereignty and are willing to work for peace in our neighborhood.
Of course, some Ethiopians need to mend their ways. “We are a big nation, we are an old civilization, you are nobody, you are Italian askari, you are Arab slaves, you have identity crisis …bla bla”, doesn’t help to make peace. This doesn’t mean, we don’t have attitude problems .. far from it, but this mainly due to Ethiopian expansionist ideology.

Dear Brothers and Sisters I want to say the truth without any emotional sentiment. Truth is Reality it couldn’t bury in any condition because we know each other. We are from the same background and blood.
Yes you are right but from what perspective? You have to appreciate you know this million of people they don’t need to have position or other issues they believe and consider we are from the same blood and history due to the Hidden agenda of Egypt and Arab they separate and becomes as enemy for the time being. You can judge yourself this crises of Egypt is the blood of Eritrean and Ethiopian it will continue more unless unify each other to build the strong nation with Ethiopia. You don’t need any research or further study the life of Eritrean for the last 23 years is the worst more than any time before. Although the life of Ottoman Turkish, Egypt, Italian and British colony era was better. In-comparison the betterment in the life style of Eritrean population was under Haileslasei-Ethiopia we know better life than any one else.

Dear Reader
Yes it is for good . do you know the intention it is belongs. it is not an indication of enemy or negative sentiment. If they consider us as enemy how could believe on unity particularly those Agame near Adigrat they fill strong relation with Eritrea. This is the issue. But leaders from both they treat with negative connotation. Just you have to evaluate your self. who is dancing with the Eritrean Music more of Agames are enjoy for what reason , they have belongs of Eritrean Brothers.
Just take as a lesson and evaluate the situation it clearly indicate on 2008 Ethiopian Election. Any elders or illiterate member of the society they prefer to unify with us.
Just keep it up.

To all Eritrean
You know better than any one else ዓጋመ ዘይውለድ ሕሙይ ሽሙ’ all of us belongs to Agame unless that we are from gudella shanklla.
we are abysinia
the most important victime of identity crises in Eritrea is intentionally emotional . we are from Togray, Gonder, Gojjam and Wello of the Great Ethiopia.
God bless Eritrea to be live with brothers.
Kalighe August 15, 2013
” …unless unify each other to build the strong nation with Ethiopia.”
Blata
I just want to remind you that Eritrea is a sovereign country, so in what way “we” should “unify each other” with Ethiopia ?
Can you elaborate more on this ?.
Can you explain in clear terms what you are trying to say ?
Adisogudo August 16, 2013
To my Kalighe
Thanks for your concern to have strong social and economical capacity with competitive and comparative advantage for both countries. It must be keep unify
Just like Germany and Yemen.
whether we can call it Abyssinia or else with the same flag.
Said August 15, 2013
wait wait/ hello hello
is this the Yemen a position/
yes
how are you sir/ okay
we having a problem to get United, can you help from your experiences,
what was the first thing that you guys did??
well, we select a people in different levels and skills/ we call them commit,
what do you mean?
I mean all those people will select we put them to work in different levels.
how do you do that?
i’mma give you an example like doctors the work on the own field/ singers riders/ media comedian. and that’s how we divide the People, to be able to work that’s scared the hell dictator,.
sir what about the politician?
that politician was working United Nation at the other thing let me know the people of the world that was a job
, they was the mediator between us and the dictator. hey you can call it ambassador if you like,
but in some point the dictator he was killing of people if I can remember about 2000 people one day
? well would tell the dictator we not going to tolerate did in any way.
and what do you guys did for that?
and we created a police for us to protect/ from inside/ you see I remember our our opposition was peaceful, but we have to protect ourselves and our family our dignity.
indeed you restore the dignity of your people, it surprises me to come out of your Yemen people on this kind of massive organization.
thank you very much I’ll I’ll call you back again of one need some kind of help. I heard the dictatoris sitting in Addis Ababa is that true?
hahahahahahahaha. it is through Yemen people did that. united against that sort and its well documented,. that was the turning point.
until next time.
Said August 15, 2013
forgive me and some words are typo.
and nobody interfere, and everybody’s work, it was something wrong, they all come for the rescue, those are the Yemeni.
indeed the dictator is going , nothing perfect, or hundred percent, but the dignity they have no nobody can take it. I’m hoping that’s what we’re looking for Eritrea. god bless you at a Eritrea.
Kalighe August 15, 2013
“1. Ethiopia. [i)Border Ruling , ii) interference in the opposition].”
“The good Dr. Berekhet Habteselassie is over 80 years now, there must be other qualified, wise, “non-political” scholars out there.”
Zaul,
Do you mean non-partisan scholars ?. The idea is too good to be true. It’s difficult to persuade our intellectuals to take responsibility, and a few who do, can’t do anything without taking sides. Despite that, we should start looking for people who can serve their country and future generations, to lay ground for peaceful transfer to democracy. I mentioned Dr. Berekhet because he could initiate such a process and transfer his experience to our young constitutional lawyers.
Blaming the opposition while we wait for the unknown won’t help much. The solution is for every one of us to do his/her part. Even a lone dissenter will contribute to the overall effort to remove dictatorship. Dictators live in the psyche of the people they rule. We need to look inward to see how much of our deeds, consciously or not, are helping him to remain in power.
Said August 15, 2013
Mr. kalighe why can’t you be the leader, come on man take me home, 80 years old is 80 years old I’m not going to chase him through the hospitals, so if you reallyEritrean teak us home. we need somebody who cleans stairs, and play football in early morning, those people you talking about they can be a good teachers, but not leaders you see what dr. yosuf, she took us back hundred years. we need somebody who’s active like you could would should. not working.and how cares how they feel, and what happened to the negotiation table, I don’t think we need to dig, how feel about us our country, there is so cold reality, and interest or a mutual interest, if its the price is right will take it, and ther is so cold by one the second one is free. the tables the table my brother.
Kalighe August 16, 2013
Dear Said, thanks for your vote and confidence, Honestly, I don’t think I have leadership qualities. The next Eritrean leaders should be experts in diversity management. May be experts in six sigma. So, let’s look for the right people.
Best regards
Zaul August 15, 2013
Kalighe,
You are tireless and well-informed as always. I think EPRDF will probably get “re-elected” in 2015, if they manage to have a “smooth” election, the new prime minister might have some legitimacy to charter a new road to peace in the region. gn btesfa trai’ye zzareb zelekhu, hade fezaz iyu zmesl, Des Aibelenin :-).

Zaul,
It seem the EPRDF will continue to be “re-elected” for years to come. I don’t think they will ever allow any other party to take power in the country. PM DesAleign (from Welaita) was a careful choice of Weyane who wanted to show that the coalition is real, and that it’s not a facade behind which a small ethnic group is actually ruling the country. For how long this smart game will continue is difficult to predict.
Said August 15, 2013
sorry I miss read it.
Zaul August 15, 2013
Alright Kalighe,
You’ve got 2 votes now, mine and Said’s. That’s more than what some political parties have. You know you care about your people, you’ve been Tegdalay (am I right?) you know your history and politics. What are you waiting for? Haye nkhid beqa.
Kalighe August 16, 2013
Zaul, you must be kidding .. I thought you will lead us !! -:)
you’ve been Tegdalay (am I right?)
Zaul August 16, 2013
Kalighe,
You are too humble bro, I actually share most of your views. The only thing I can lead is a life in Diaspora. I’m an atheist socialist from a “kushet”, the only constituents that would support me, would be goats (they’re easy to bribe).
Kalighe August 17, 2013
” I actually share most of your views.”
Zaul
One big source of our problems is that we try to agree on everything, which is good but not always possible and unrealistic. To have different prespectines is just natural and many times a necessity that otherwise would make life dull.
So, let’s accept differences in opinion as a fact of life, and work for our common interest despite that.
Zaul August 17, 2013
I have no problem accepting that other people have different beliefs or views, as long as I get to express mine. That’s a basic tenet of democracy everyone has to agree on. Individual liberty is sacred, no one person or institution has the right to speak on my behalf or force me to believe in what they believe.
