Dictator I hope you are listening my friend John Kerry got f 15, and don’t let me borrow it. goodbye dictator.
Sara May 28, 2014
it great news for the Eritrean people, as he said we are searching the true freedom and stand against human right abuse; Issais is still planning to play his dirty game by the name of constitution to buy time and reduce pressure from both inside and outside eritrea.; his donkeys could swallow whatever they heard, they donot ask and think. Lets push forward we are nearly to the change.

It is a good press release. But it is too short and a bit ambiguous. I feel America has other priorities at the moment. We need more support to overthrow the dictator.
Freweini May 28, 2014
It is wonderful to hear that the American government and people stand beside the people of Eritrea. Equally wonderful is to hear the Secretary of State John Kerry’s recognition of the Eritrean people’s yearning for freedom. Eritreans need friends at this time more than ever.

Good press but, wasn’t strong.

We Eritreans are aware right from the beggining that the USA is our first enemy.And this a double standard press release is a simple evidence. AMERICAN POLETICIANS Want to see a powerful Ethiopia with a port and history told us they they dont accept eritrean freedom. HOW EVER history also proved true that even though there were a few cowards( like what we see now) eritrean freedom can be assured.Even now we can understand from j .k. speach that they are unhappy with theexistence of a free and self-supported ERITREA. we know every us policy is for their advantage.what they ever say about ethiopia or eritrea we know every thing well.Weyane is the most dectator regim.arresting many jornalists,killing oromo and others right on the streets.but we see a double standard speech from kerry. AND this speech do not represent eritrean people.At the as usual we will endure any they do, and we will win .weather they like or no they will accept the truth.Eritrea is for eritreans and will live for ever .awet nhafash.zikri niswatna.

You said, “we will win” who is “we”? Under dictator Isayas and PFDJ’s network, the Eritrean people (we) are losing every day. We, the Eritrean people are talking about our country Eritrea, NOT about Ethiopia. So, like those brain dead PFDJ’s zombies, you are diverting the main issue and making it about Weyane and the USA. Shame on you! You couldn’t even try to learn about the importance of internal strength, in order to defend a nation from outsiders. Isayas and the PFDJ network inflected more damage to the Eritrean people and the nation, than any outside forces could. No body wants to hear from you, how other countries are acting according to their interest. I say, DUH!!!. The main reason, we are where we are is Isayas didn’t put Eritrea and Eritrean people his priority. Isayas put his interest which is power and control his main priority for 53 years. If you have been alive the past 15 to 23 years, you could have understood, what it mean to take responsibility for own actions. For Example, Did the Weyane or the USA put innocent Pilot Dejen in prison for 15 years, until he did his heroic prison break? Who did that to him? You said, “weather they like or no they will accept the truth Eritrea is for Eritreans and will live for ever” OMG!! How are you planing to live for ever, when you are supporting a psychopath Isayas who is killing the Eritrean youth?
Unless you are a rotten PFDJ’s network operative or innocent stupid/naive, you need to focus and look at the issue of our people as exactly it is. Our issue is so clear and black and white, you don’t need to think hard. A ten years old boy or girl can tell you how wrong Isayas and PFDJ’s network are. We, the Eritrean people need to hold Isayas and the terror network of PFDJ for their bloody crimes. What we need to do is all to focus on the most important issue of the survival of Eritrean people. Since Secretary John Kerry started to speak up indicating the injustice in Eritrea, it is up to us to keep the issue current. We need to express our demands candidly. Pilot Dejen’s issue is one big gift for justice seeker Eritrean, to save the remain thousands of prisoners in Eritrea. We need to do candid testimonials about the reality of our country and people.
So, Yodit, if you are a justice seeker Eritrean or any justice seeker for humanity, please focus. Good luck.

Thanks Secretary of State, John Kerry for your warmest wishes to the people of Eritrea on the 23rd anniversary of our independence, which took place May 24. Know that the government and people of the United States stand beside us in our continued search for the promise of a free, prosperous, and democratic Eritrea.
The time is now to liberate our land and our people!
The time is now! The US, the UN, the OAU, and all our neighbor countries are on our side!
Let’s get rid the mad dog Isayas, his son, and the blind followers HIGDEF! Like the Libyans did to their mad dog Gadafi his sons and his blind followers.
We must get reed the mad dog Isayas wedi Demhit just like his friend the mad dog Gadafi.

An official press release in support of Eritrean people by Secretary of state
is a moral booster and sends positive sign of progress for justice seekers
political movements . The statement ” the government and people of United States
stand beside you in your continued search for the lost promise of democratic Eritrea ”
will hit hard to the heads of our current stupid political culture .
Having this kind support of solidarity the task depend on us (Eritreans ) to come-up
with trustworthy , strong , workable and organized influential leaders who can bring
down and construct this broken governmental system .
Semira May 28, 2014
Thanks to Secretary of State, John Kerry and to all the peace loving Americans for grating political asylum to all Eritreans in the USA. A friend in need is a real friend indeed. You stood against the mad dog tyrant dictator Isayas, his blind followers HIGDEF.
We will liberate our land and our people.
Let freedom ring in Senhit, Keren!
Let freedom ring in Akeleguzay, Adi Keyih!
Let freedom ring in Denkel, Asseb!
Let freedom ring in Barka, akurdet!
Let freedom ring in Sahil Nakfa!
Let freedom ring in Seraye, Adi Ugri!
Let freedom ring in Hamassien, Asmera!
Let freedom ring in Semhar, Massawa!
Eritrea will be free soon. Our original Eritrean Liberation Flag, Semayawit Banderana will be all over Eritrea!
May God bless Eritrea and USA!
