PRESIDENT ISAYAS’S NEW TARGET
Ezana Sehay Sep 13, 2013
President Isayas is mad at the Eritrean people. According to him they are not up to his standards. He is disappointed by the constant demand for better living standard, and freedom. He is not at all pleased about the things they read, listen to, or watch in the internet.
He offered his critique of the Eritrean people last week, in his customary long and nonsensical lecture aka interview. As usual, it was mostly monotonous, elementary, and gibberish. But there were also some surprises.
Surprise one: for the first time Isayas explicitly acknowledged what the world has known; the economy is in tatters and the future is as bleak as ever. He is reduced to saying that the economic success story being told by his cronies is actually a hoax. He admitted, he doesn’t see the country getting out of the sink hole anytime soon. And He doesn’t seem cheery about the social environment either.
Surprise two: and it is not Weyane’s or CIA’s fault. That right. This time none of Eritrea’s problems is apportioned to his favorite nemesis.
Unfortunately, Isayas failed to take responsibility for the sorry state of the country or offered a concrete plan to deal with all the problems the country is facing. Instead he sounded resigned and cynical.
In addition to the aforementioned economic and political problems, his foreign policy is shaky at best, calamitous at worst. Evidently the people blame Isayas for adhering to policies that have ruined the country – just as he implied they would. In the old days, he used to blame foreigners for his inadequacies, but as that excuse wears thin he has now found a new target: the people. That right. The Eritrean people are now his object of scold.
Their crime: after so many years of resilience they are tired of waiting. Consequently, have started to demand the bare minimum necessities; such as sufficient water supply, electricity, transportation and basic goods. Nothing more.
When he assumed power, Isayas made it plain that he would make Eritrea prosperous, democratic and all strong. He boosted he knew how to bring that about. He put himself in a position to take credit for a better Eritrea, however it comes about. Now all the people are asking is “Mr. President, where is the beef”?
That is not going well with the president. He blames the people for their impatience and their failure to understand what he has been trying hard to teach them for the last decade … just listen to me. There is no one else in Eritrea who knows things as well as I do. So if I am unable to fix the problems, then they are not fixable. So stop whining!
Perhaps one can understand, a man of his age and mental capacity to turn in to a codger. He has become both physically and mentally one of those geezers who sit on the porch and reminisce about the days when folks were much more sensible. The days when he and his cohorts were regarded as heroes. When the people knew how to do with out and weren’t demanding.
In his way, he is trying to set the people straight. We are doing what we can without many resources, but at least we are secure and stable, and we have cars too, not fancy ones, but they get us around. Are there things that all of us would like to have? Sure.
Play it again, Isu!
In advertently, he is dreaming the dream of every Eritrean. A fantasy that now day ends as a hymn of praise to the good old days, when ever that was.
Isayas also recognizes the overwhelming negative public opinion of him. But, he blames it on the shift in the attitude of the people. Like a classic dictator, he attributes the fall of his popularity to the decline of the people’s psyche, which in his view is suffering from a malaise.
Like a typical dictator, Isayas is dealing with unworthy citizens. Like Berthold Brecht, the German play right wrote. In East Germany in 1953, anti-government riots spread and were finally put down by Russian tanks. Shortly, the communist government issued a bitter statement saying that the people had forfeited the confidence of the government and would have to work harder to win it back.
Brecht suggested that the government simply dissolve the people and elect another.
Reading the fore going statement; Isayas uttered “what a concept – too bad it involves election”

Brother Berhane,
C’mon people, he is at least very good at coining tigrigna words ! !
Oh ya! Awateists call it Tinglish (Tigrina+ English) or may be this time
TinglishA( Tigrina + English + Arabic) Why? because at times he used some Arabic words too.
I hope you didn’t mean it. Because, not for some of us, but for majority of us, IA and an onion are the same.
An onion, no matter how many times you peel its layers, it has the same layers.
An onion, no matter how many times you peel its layers, still it smells the same.
But, since you’re just kidding, I chose not to go fuhrer.

Brother Suluman,
Why are you mad? Just because I hate the dictator or else?
Anyways, I still respect your input.
sam September 14, 2013
if this asshole was not part of the liberation front we would have being 100 years a head, but we are not so lucky, lets fight back AHWAT.

Ghetto boy, the world would be a better place without creatures like you.
daniel September 14, 2013
what a disrespect to Ethiopians ,when he said “Ethiopia was created after the WW2 by the West to use it as a tool for their own interest” does he think people are Stupid ? may be he thinks his supporters would believe him and they are indeed stupid like him ,
hawika September 14, 2013
actually he is spot on right on that ! ethiopia is like the rest of africa founded by europeans. and pls don’t bring abyssinia as it is differnt nation from today ethiopia.
daniel September 14, 2013
No Ethiopian situation is different , Ethiopia wasn’t created after WW2 , what are you talking about , after WW2 means after 1945 , do you know history? and Ethiopia wasn’t colonized by Europeans , Italy captured it briefly during WW2 with the help of Conscripted Eritreans and Somalian soldiers , the current Ethiopia was founded by king Theodor who fought against the British , then Yohanes , then Mililik ok ,my point is Ethiopia existed before 1945! may be you are reading Shaebias Cariculum , Eritrea is created by Italians when they Invaded in 1891 , it is ITALIANS who created the borders of Eritrea ,that is how Eritrea was created after that you know what happened.
Suleiman Salim September 14, 2013
Present day Ethiopia was created in 1991. Look at the map to understand the truth behind my statement.
Suleiman Salim September 14, 2013
I should add Woyane tried to change the map by waging war against Eritrea and it failed miserabley. The so-called Eritrean oppostion mercenaries tried to help Woyane to achieve its goals but to no avail. ShaEbia under the leadership of Issaias Afeworki is very tough. Thanks to God/Allah.
hawika September 14, 2013
Suleiman
I think you refering to the boarder dispute, if that was managed good by both parties it was a minor issue but as you know they didn’t and you know the rest..
my point is a rational person wouldnt put the whole blame only into weyane. issaias is tough that is what we oppose here, we want someone gentle who can be sensetive to our suffering and someone who feels our pain.
may God tough yewerdelka!
Suleiman Salim September 14, 2013
hawika,
You are making claims which you can not support by facts. Who put THE WHOLE blame on Woyane? What makes you say that the Eritrean government is not sensitive to ” our suffering” and doesn’t feel ” our pain. ”
There is a country that has to be re-built and defended at the same time. So, what do you want the president to do? With very limited resources at the disposal of the nation President ISSAIAS AFEWORKI ABRAHAM is doing his best to improve the living standard of the Eritrean people. If you equate re-building and defending our country with imposing unnecessary SUFFERING and PAIN then you are totally wrong.

Mr Ezana I could not agree any more. This Dictator and aroggant in nature that he is a good lier. He outsmarted and he used so many of his comrades as any tools. And hee was always secure for his survival through his hidden cells. Aa we all know, that if anyone stand in his way even for good reason that he make them evoprate and disappear withen days or monthes. He doesn’t like to be challeged. He doesn’t like any higher edecated people and heroes around him. Those were his hidden agendas since joinnig to struggle. He use some good names and slogan to look like a good player. He put his power interested first. He Only gives a chance to people that who says yes SIR nothing else. Now, all his fabrication of lies are finished and his propoganda michine is broken. If he is honest enough and he if he wants to be come clean that he should blame himself,and admit his mistakes and give the power to the people. That is the best choice and option he has left at his hand. If not it will be Adios very soon.
Truly truly i say to you September 14, 2013
Dear Haqi, you remarked 7 excellent points from confused dictator speech. I really didn´t understand whom liked to blame or charge for the failed policy? Isn´t he the only totalitarian power in charge? If he believe all sectors are not functioned well, if not he who else could be then responsible for all unsuccessful? This guy when talking like that, either it is a prove of for his mental maddness, or whatever wrong i do against the socity they vever have anything ability to stand againstt me by saying because denounced the society could be my other guess. In deed dear Haqi, it is a good homework to Gedion Abay Asmerom, Sofia T/ Mariam, Girma Asmerom and the new PFDJ romanticizer Andeargachew Tsige. By the way have you listen Andargachew´s interview In ESAT TV “Yehud weg” program regarding Shabia´s support to Ethiopian oppositions what said?
Truly truly i say to you September 14, 2013
I my self this time a little bit confused this mad dog wicked dictator´s positions to know. Because up to know i was considered him as Ethiopiawi working for Ethiopian agenda, but when i listened when despising Ethiopia, by saying “who are this people? Ethiopia is formed as nation after 2nd world war, why do we give this marionette people beyond their capacity? they never colonized Eritrea, it is their masters by instrumentalizing them who causing troubles against us” to what said, when i listened, and other side to what himself causing destruction by hijacking all members of the society groups, i really confused what to name him. Crazy? or by looking crazy and by denouncing the people who knowingly causing trouble?
Anyway to be honest, for the first time I, a little bit trust the mad dog about his Ertrawinet specially when i listened about regarding Ethiopian history to what talked. This time the mad dog didn´t mistaken! Both Ethiopia and Eritrea despite have a 3000 long history but as the nation they both are formed after 2nd´world war like others African countries equally possible to say.
Really if i be sure or approved this mad dog is really Ertrawi, believe me i 100% can give him apologize to whatever crime he committed, because i never believe, Ertrawi knowingly causing this kind of destruction and suffer against his own people and nation, unless the guy is mentally sick.
Truly truly i say to you September 14, 2013
Friends, “deed defines personality more than thousand words!” because of that Isayaas´s Ertrawinit shoud to be measured according his deed, not according his word.
I would say Isayas´s new tactic, it is not because targeted the people. This since when joined liberation time using it. But his knew tactic i believe is by cousing war and by exterminating the socity that he couldn´t achive his hidden mission to which is destroying the Eritrean nationalism and to reverse the independence, This time by inforcing real Eritreans to flee from their homeland while he filling the nation with Tigrian origins in the name of TPDM liberation fighter because liked through marriage and culture after mixed our society, finally to destroy the Etitrean nationalism and then to inforce people for unity with Ethiopia it is.
Truly truly i say to you September 14, 2013
Please you people ask for your self simple question. These tens of thousand TPDM fighters from which power to free themselves are gathering inside Eritrea? Isn´t their own Tigrai people are in power who ruling Ethiopia? Why is this time Isayas doesn´t like to see rich or high educated Eritreans while Tigrians both inside their own country even inside Eritrea it be while enjoying every kind of right be it by privileging high education, business and power? Why is he protected by TPDM soldiers? From this begin the Eritrean ignorance. Like it or not, this is Isayaas´s and co.the new tactic or mission to kneel down Eritranism they using. This is why also in oppositions we see seing divisions because also this is their mission too.
Suleiman Salim September 14, 2013
TO Truly Truly I say to you (unless you repent you will never enter the kingdom of God.)
We know that you are Pro-WOYANE. You are concerned about the military strength of TPDM. So, you want to protect your Woyane by making a false propoganda against the anti-Woyane forces. Try another trick. Your first attempt has utterly failed— nipped in the bud as they say it.
Meretse Asmelash September 15, 2013
Brother Sulman,
You know Hell and Heaven too.
When was your last visit?
MightyEmbasoyra September 14, 2013
If I were one of his supporters, I would stop listening to him after these series of interviews.
He claimed every sector failed. Well, did he forget that he is the boss of all these sectors?
By the way, when is he going to answer a question rather than to act as a professor?
Minia kolel ‘mber koynu – blash.
Suleiman Salim September 14, 2013
Believe me you will listen in the future and come here to us with your report. Don’t worry about patriotic Eritreans.
Truly Truly i say to you September 15, 2013
Suleiman, you mean unless you repent you will never enter in our animals kingdom? Thank you! keep it that place for yourself! I have my own one.
By the way you are a good satirist. Your massage have relevance or give sense, when someone be able to understand your massage reversely (to whom you consider or call Ertrawi, to whom Woyane ) it is. It is ridicules to consider Isayas and cliques as Eritrawi.
