Was this to Eritrean govdrnment ?
selamawit2 May 28, 2014
Robiel, noway – he is speaking about
“a free, prosperous, and democratic Eritrea.”. It was to our people!
I think the democratic world is just waiting for us eritreans to show a clear position.
As from the distance it looks like there was no unity between the eritreans ’cause DIA supporters
are actively producing this wrong impression.

No to the message is eritrean people. If this was to the government, would have seen the message at shabait.com with Isias’ old picture:)

I am glad he did not wish good health to the dictator. It seems that the USA is on the Eritrean people side.

American people, European people and governments, all peace loving nations are on our side and Al shebab, Al bashir, Al Kahlif , Al Terrorist are on the dictator side. Thank you Kerry not wishing a long live and health for the man who day and night commit silent genocide against innocent Eritrean people. The longer he lives the more death , misery, poverty , torture, prison, pain, fear to our people. I have a dream ..the24th anniversary would be without higdef and the dictator. I have a dream even the slave of higdef in Europe and America will be free to speak their mind.

Thank you USA and other civilized nations. I am glad there is no mention of the so called junta but to the people that is what you call a friend. We knew long ago you are not our enemy as HGDEF tried hard to smear you with bad mouthing to cover its evil deeds and failure in all fronts be it socially, economically or politically. After 23 years HGDEF has nothing to show to the world except citizen suffering and flee out of the country in drove. Shame to HGDEF who go as far as 60years to blame other for its failures. What make Eritrean situation bad is there are people who still do have hope in the existing statuesque. They are congratulating each other because the mad man promised drafting constitution rather than asking what is wrong with existing. The sad reality is that there are many of them. God safe Eritrea and thanks USA
