From the four hour conducted sermon church services the only meaningful crux point i found it from whole text worthy, to at final described this statement is only;-
“This regime is headed toward the dark of night while we are marching toward morning dawn.”
The rest Dr, Rusum´s main intention it seems more to advertise and to magnify the pastor´s mission and his wife deed. Sorry Dr, Please do not understand me wrong, i do not mean if in the city the divorce rate is low, it is not an important issue. But what is for us such preaching in church in this special mourn time, while we hearing and seeing our citizens slaughtering and perishing elsewhere. If in case in regardings topic like last year by one Orthodox priest “ተደይትደፍኣኒ መን መጽደፈኒ” type something extraordinary preached the Pastor, wouldn´t it be better to share us the video clip if there, so that we learn and judge self. Sorry for my emotion. It is because i very frustrated and disappointed because of the very regime cruelty, our people none reaction, ignorance, and selfishness it is. Please you people stop this candle light ceremony. Form is this entertainment. If you serious lets do something practical.
what can you do against USA/EU ? DIA is just implementing, though cruely like his masters, the concepts design by these evil entities ! This can be followed by the developments of the ca. 33 so-called Eritrean political parties, that are de facto zero/NULL now. The bizarr events in the mediteranean see are pure evidences of the western arrogance with the newly won misplaced neo-liberalism. No solution againt conspiracies and irrationlities!
EU is now even ready to finance the eradication process running in our homeland, Eritrea, with ca. 120 Mio Euro shamelessly and this in an arrogant manner – a slap to Eritreans in the face !
I follow your comments and they are mostly fine. On this one you are dead wrong. When someone speaks positive and uplifting words don’t try to think over time how to negate them. Either support the writer or just leave him alone by keeping your fingers in your pockets.
Dear Truly,
If we take into consideration those long years in which our people were subjected to persecution and injustice in addition to the systematic divide and rule policy that was followed by the successive colonizers and in which the regime of DIA became very creative has made our people servile to unimaginable degree.
Truly
We became victims of fear and confusion to speak words without
action and to keep vigils after vigils anytime we hear death after
death of Eritreans which doesn’t bring ultimate solution .
We all are tired from crying like cowards when comes to our unfortunate issues where people inside the country refused to confront evil deeds accordingly for the sake of own safety .
Regardless the comfortable zone we live in , our soul and heart
stay connected with them in good and bad times because that is
the birth place origin where we belong in first place .
You are truly mistaken. For starters may be we should stop being dismissive about Eritreans like the pastor and his wife who are taking action. The man is comforting a grieving congregation and feeding them all after services. It is action to visit the sick at home and to say prayers and provide counselling. It is also action to make a clean break with the regime as it is to tell the PFDJ that they are headed toward darkness. And if he also makes time to bring couples to make peace with each other, more power to him. A healthy family is the foundation of community and nation.
Just as curious is why you also dismiss people who are getting together and lighting candles to mourn the death of so many. One can understand the frustrations but belittling the efforts of a pastor who is doing his job above and beyond is not constructive. This is not to say that the pastor needs praise or accolades. He does what he does because he cares and has conscience.
Please be appreciative of other people’s efforts and carve out your own path. Others might just follow you. Holier-than-thou statements will get us nowhere.
Doktere, it is not to belittle or dishonour someone´s honourable work, in the contrary. But, to be honest, when a church matter issue raises at this special very sad time, i was expected something extraordinary hard massage that could awake our dormant people. But the described Pastor Family´s good deed, if not by every but by most Pastors or Priests i considered it, it is usual duty could be i took it normal. This is why under Amanuel Iyasu wrote article, by our mass people silence and part of our society fruitless activity i so dissatisfied was, of course not to despise anybody´s good work, but to awake i criticized and commented like this:-will continue..
Only the Amanel Iyasu,s candle has worth and relevance, because in side the candle the written word and the sinking boat picture says everything. But the rest candle light memory(ዝኽሪ ሽምዓ) is fake and entertainment. To be honest like the word of God says,” ካብታ ጠላሚት ይሁዳስ፡ እታ ኸዳዕ እስራኤል ትጸድቕ” ( “The backsliding Israel has justified herself more than treacherous Judah, as Lord said. (Jeremiah 3, 11), this time while hearing their citizens slaughtering those making party (The PFDJ´s,) justified themselves how they dedicated to their motive more than the treacherous oppositions. ( We didn´t see by candle memory for victims, by wishing and say, be in the kingdom of heaven, Rest in peace (R.I.P) bla! bla! when regimes change. It needs serious practical action.”
So do not much surprise by my disappointment, even because God not pleases in similar scenario was says this:-
This is the Lord says you,
” I hate your religious festivals; i cannot stand them!
When you bring me burnt offerings, i will not accept them the animals you have fattened to bring me as offerings.
Stop your noisy songs; I do not want to listen to your harps.
Instead, let JUSTICE flow like a stream, and RIGHTEOUSNESS like a river that never goes dry. (Amos 5; 21-24)
Indeed Qeshi Ghebremichael has been and still is voice for the voiceless. I hope and pray other church leaders will learn from Qeshi Ghebremichael and stand for truth.
Note to Qeshi Ghebremichael, be strong and never be swayed by ‘Tobias’ of our time. You are the Nehemiah of our time. You are fighting a good fight. The people is behind you and we love you and your family.
Keshi Gebremichael is one of the few priests that stood up to HGDF. It is easy to fight with HGDF on the internet, but to state the truth infront of our people is challenging to say the least. He is a great priest and leader. May God bless him and his family. People are quick to insult the church, but listen to the below to hear another courageous priest.

Keshi Gebremichael is one of the few priests that stood up to HGDF. It is easy to fight with HGDF on the internet, but to state the truth infront of our people is challenging to say the least. He is a great priest and leader. May God bless him and his family. People are quick to insult the church, but listen to the below to hear another courageous priest.
