Sisi meets with Eritrean leader ‘to pressure Addis Ababa’

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi met with his Eritrean counterpart Isaias Afwerki in Cairo in a meeting that was a “deliberate move” against Ethiopia, political sources in Cairo told The New Arab.
The two leaders met on Tuesday to discuss enhancing bilateral relations across all levels and projects related to fishing and agriculture, local media reported.
Ethiopia is building a hydropower dam on the Nile close to its source in the Ethiopian highlands, raising fears in Egypt, which depends on controlling the flow of the Nile’s waters for its survival.
“Approachment with Ethiopia’s enemy and demonstrating the possibility of cooperation could pressure Addis Ababa to be more flexible in dealing with the Renaissance Dam or it could make the situation worse,” the source said, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
“The aim of this meeting is to send a message to Ethiopia. In the past there has been non-serious talk about Egypt striking Ethiopia, however, it could possibly supply Eritrea with arms,” he added.
Former Egyptian diplomat Maasoum Marzouq said that using Eritrea to intimidate Ethiopia was a tactic that must be used with “extreme caution”.
In October, Ethiopia accused Egypt and neighbouring Eritrea of supporting outlawed rebels and stoking an unprecedented wave of protests that has led the government to declare a six-month state of emergency.
An Ethiopian minister said there was “ample evidence” that Egypt had provided training and financing to the Oromo Liberation Front, a group labelled a terrorist organisation by Ethiopia.
He added that “elements in the Egyptian political establishment” were fomenting rebellion, seeking to promote “historical rights” over access to the River Nile.
Eritrea and Ethiopia fought a two-year border war between 1998 and 2000 which left 80,000 dead, and tensions between the neighbours flared again earlier this year.
Ethiopia’s government is facing the biggest challenge of its 25 years in power from protesters who have turned their anger against foreign-owned companies, torching several farms and factories in the past week.
Rights organisations have already criticised authorities for a harsh security crackdown on nearly a year of protests that has killed hundreds.

What do expect the Ghedli leaders who burned their own languages and identity to do? Excepting, submitting and bending for the Arab?
I don’t think that Eritreans fought and died to become the typical Arab Abeeds. A year ago, the savage Wahabi Muslims of Saudi Arabia asked their Eritrean Abeeds to ago after the poor and oppressed Shia Hoothi Muslims of Yemen, then the so called “Arab coalition” started to unravel, with Eritrea being the only slave Abeed and non-Arab nation. The Arab does not want to die but wants Eritreans to fight on his behalf in Yemen and against the Ethiopians.
Recently, the opportunist Arab Egyptians did everything to foment the uprising in Ethiopia against the Weyane led government to stop the Ethiopians from using the full potential of their God given land and water but the Arabs miserably failed again. Then, as usual the Arab Muslim nations of Egypt and Saudi Arabia started to fight against each other, as is the norm of the typical Arab dogs. Consequently, the Saudis duly invited the Ethiopian government for unprecedented bilateral cooperation to drive the Egyptians crazy. The Egyptians got so angry, they immediately called their Abeed from Eritrea to order him to keep on barking at Ethiopia from the north.
For those of you who have very short memory: we burned our own languages and history, to be close to the Arabs but we ended up literally and figuratively their Abeeds.
Here is how our Arab masters treat us at home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRRTDu2BCuk “

Stop blaming Gedli , it is the Tembenay dictator doing that , the puppet need to be stopped , he doesn’t care about the suffering of the Eritrean people.

He does not look very happy Esayas in fact he is looking very sad and very nervos. May be he failed the order that was given to Eritrea or Esayas from president Sisi of Egypt to make problems and destraction in Ethiopia.
Eritrea and Eritreans paid so much sacrifices and lives to become in the end just slaves and spare parts of Arabs.
If only Esayas had his good commrades on his side to advice and take some of the heavy load of responsblty.
But life is too short and will Esaya get the same respect and rememberense from world leaders and his own people like the president of Cuba Castro? I hope people get to line up and pay due respect like that of Meles & Castro.

Why didn’t our Africa become like South America with zero non-Muslim people? I am really sad that is not the case.
Can or is it possible for all Muslims in Africa to go with their religion and terrorism to their Muslim Arab countries?
South American countries just like European countries don’t have border controls or movement of people controls but in Africa with awful Muslim people like that of Somali & Libyan, you can’t have free borders and movements.

Fithi,
Because you are a Moran. Think you idiot , we did not have any problem with being Muslim or Christian, We are the most blessed to leave with peace for so long, but thanks to this evil dictator I am not sure if this is true now, look for example you are blaming the enter religion, you know nothing, wake up read books ask elderly people about religion .

Though he is mercenary, though he is a massanger, he cant even polish his shoe. look at it. he doesn’t polish his shoe and not even wash his face and brush his teeth. wey maeltie belet dibabo. lebamat do behalay yimirhu.

Mezgebe,
Please tell us what or who ‘dibabo’ is? Otherwise, thank you for a good laugh that you gave us.
And to answer your question or point, may be he came to Sisi’s Egypt on a camel! About the wash of his face and brush his teeth, it is sadly all due to shortage of water in Eritrea. Even the
Egyptians would not give him for drinking water and he only had his camel’s milk for drinking. The big question is how he has to go back to Eritrea as his camel asked to become a refugee in Egypt and it passed all the Egyptian tests and is being fed good rices, bread with lots of water.

mezgebe,

Any way don’t worry,Issu knows the dirty Arab more than anybody else ,and he is not going to sell us….Yes,if he were the president of Abyssinia he would be respected much better …but unfortunately he is not. ..the good news is ,he is the first and the last president of this forged country called Eritrea …After Issue’s departure ,the next day we are joining to our Brothers Tegaru and automatically we will regain our Abyssinia (Ethiopia ) =Full stop.
Our message to the Egyptians must be == 1,You,dirty Arabs!!your slaves ,the mad students of the 60s and 70s, are no more there ….2,,,We are the sons of Zeray Deres,,,Tedors,,or those you knew better Yohannes and Alula Aba Nega ,,,3,,Don’t forget the Battle of Gurai and Gundet .

From the beginning the game was to chase and catch everyone who stand in their path , And lately we are
witnessing the consequences of two antagonists behavior to succeed at NO WAR NO PEACE POLICY .
My enemy is your enemy had been part of their past history in resolving conflicts . At the end of the day ,
our region could engulf with fire because of failed leaderships to play with matches in Eritrean and Ethiopian
territories . By then only idiots might satisfy their arrogance for heroic achievements at the expense of destructions and lost of innocents .
We have seen it before and God forbid it will not surprise us if repeated again .

Every time Iseyas who actually happens to be a Tigreyan bandit like his forefather from Tembien, makes a visit to an Arab country, Tigrayonline thugs start bombarding Assenna with anti-Arab and anti-Muslim hate propaganda.
Anti-Amhara/Oromo propaganda has taken back stage for a while, when the Oromo started the challenging them seriously.
These cowards, cannot dare to insult Muslims in Addis … just imaging what can happen to them.

Wedi Halima savage Arab dog, if given any chance he would sneak the Afghan mujahadeed/taliban or the Egyptian savage evil mosalem brotherhood into Eritrea. But just like his savage moslem Arab dogs rootless nomads were treated or punished by our “the great courageous” Komandos and Haileslassie’s soldiers, we’ll carry on the superb job that they started for us to finish them (the savage illegal immigrant moslem Arab dogs) off and eliminate them all the way to their savage evil moslem hell to rot.

Tell me about it, the hate in that web site against Eritrea is unbelievable. We all should tell them to stop coming here and spread their cheap propaganda and lies about our Muslim brothers , we are tired of it .

Sister, these people are living in the past.
Ethiopia has finally started to respect its Muslim citizens.
The Oromo, the largest ethnic group are now, ready to let their voices heard.
Ethiopia is not anymore a “Christian Island” as it used to call itself.
All religions in that country are now treated equally.
Ethiopian Muslims are taking the highest offices in Federal government.
Teclay and many like him continuously, spread religious and racial hatred here in Assenna to push Eritreans against each other, but they will fail.
When they are in Addis they cannot insult Ethiopian Muslims because they know they will send them back to Mekele in coffins.
Only a coward insults an entire people.

Weyane (the minority government) is going down through the sink. The minority of minority government of shaebya is sinking deep into maybella. Infact shabya is not even a minority government, it is purely a mafia group.

We just have to eliminate the unappreciative ghetto jihadi/taliban savage evil moslem scumbags like you who hate and insult the Habesha people of Ethiopia & Eritrea for giving you refuge and protection in the first place when you were being chased away and savagely killed by your own evil savage moslems and swords. But once we are back together and united with our brothers and sisters of Tigray (with the super strong Weyane just like the Israeli), you will be chopped into pieces, burned your stinking corpses and fed to your savage Yemeni/Arab dogs.
