Eritrea has been one of a number of African nations to benefit from a recent mining boom, but with new economic horizons have come staggering levels of corruption. According to some reports, the Eritrean government has brought in revenues of over $1 billion through the Bisha gold mine in 2011, yet this huge sum of money has not been accounted for. Horrific human rights abuses of mine workers also gained media attention in December 2014.
Hand-in-hand with this has come the involvement of high-ranking military figures in various types of illegal activity. Goods smuggling and even human trafficking connected to torture and organ removal are among the accusations levelled at the military, which the government apparently has little control over. The impact for the Eritrean people? Shortages of drinking water, lack of fuel resulting in frequent electricity blackouts, and many other daily hardships.

Solomir,
You are correct, he and his followers is destroying Eritrean and Eritrea. We will need to wake up and fight these dirty people. We all have relatives, who support the current leader and system. However, we will need to challenge them. As he is preparing to introduce the new ID card and Dehmit as his body/Security guard. We will go back to the old day 60s, where the Ethiopia had opportunities to control Eritrean and Eritrea.
>>> Birhane <<<, it is clear for any child from the age of 2. If you dont understood the situation of Eritrean and Eritrea by now. you are not on this planet. A country without a young people, it would be a country. We will need to fight and stop all these old problems and current issues. Further, we will need to clean all the dirty work from Tegadlity, who brought the “Hegdef” and now, they are cancer of Eritrean people and Eritrea.

It shouldn’t surprise us he has done it many times.
He divided the ELF in 1970 and formed his own front EPLF.
He completely dissolved ELF in 1980.
He dissolved EPLF in 2003 and replaced it by HIGDEF.
He put down our liberation flag 2003 and replaced it by his own flag.
He dissolves our eight provinces in 2003 and replaced it with his own zobas.
He disposed our Patriarch Antonios in 2007 and replaced him by his own Patriarch Abune Dioskoros.
He trashed our constitution in 1997 and he replaces it with his kangaroo laws.
He is dissolving Eritrean ID card and replacing it by his own fake ID card.
This reminds me of Jim Jones in Jonestown Guyana in South America where over 300 children and adults died.
It also reminds me of Stockholm syndrome, psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors.
It doesn’t surprise me what’s going on in Eritrea, it surprises me that people of Eritrea blindly follow the mad dog Isayas’ rules and regulations.

This is the time for all Eritreans unite and save our land and our people before it’s to late!
The referendum ID cards are historical. They cannot be renewed or changed.
They are the proof, evidence, and testimony of the people that voted on referendum. They are part of Eritrean history. The mad dog is trying to destroy the evidence. Those who vote they should never surrender their referendum ID.
The mad dog Isayas is in a process of destroying the historical ID and replacing it by his own fake ID card.
This is the time for all Eritreans unite and save our land and our people before it’s to late!
Diablos Isayas dissolved ELF , EPLF, our provinces, our flag, our religion, our culture, our freedom, justice, liberty and equality. He is in the process of dissolving the whole nation.
Remember, the well-known statement the mad dog Isayas’s wedi Medhin Berad said in one of our independence celebration in Asmara – ከም ዝቘሰልኩምን ከም ዝተበደልኩምን ንፈልጥ ኢና፡ ህጂ ግን ቃንዛኹም ያክል፡ ተወዲኡ’ዩ።ቁስልኩም ኣይትሕከኩ፡ ቁስልና ኣይንሓክኽን… Then he turned around and launched an unnecessary war to destroy our land and our people.
Now he is in the process of dissolving HIGDEF and replacing them with DEMHIT. TPDM, DEMHIT is the army of Tigray, Ethiopia.
This is the time for all Eritreans unite and save our land and our people before it’s to late!

Before it is too late. You mean 30 years, 40 years, the presidant becomes too old and syk. Pick one.

One billion dollars sounds good news to his
blind supporters . He promised them to own
couple houses inside the country . Now smile,
Papa Issayas is getting rich .
Wealth under corrupted officials will never
benefit the interest of the country except
to create negative atmosphere . Take Nigeria
as an example . Eritrean government has same
issues in concern of high rank military officials
greed . To uproot this destructive culture will require very challenging tasks in the future .

I love Papa isias he always telling us what he is going to do and he did exactly what he told us he said after independence that they came with their own culture from Sahle and he destroy our beautiful culture he said I am going to kill or jail you all and he did exactly that he said let them go they are going for picnic and he sold the poor Eritreans to Rashida for profit and the people with money paid $5000.00 US and left the county with out walking even one km again he told us not to expect anything from the GOLD guess what he deposit it for himself so why are we surprise.
Papa isias told us our constitution is dead and he took all the farmers for training so they can starve them for the next coupe of years maybe he is planning a war so he can fish us lets not expect anything until hid son Abrham comes to power maybe he can give us a piece of GOLD.

Assai is a Liar, corrupted, deceptive, narrow minded, blinded heart human being, had a BIG DREAM for so many years to destroy our beloved mother land Eritrea, the land of HERORES and BRAVE, and future Eritrean generations.
What are waiting for?

The word Corruption is a human quality we use to describe leaders who, unlike Monster Isias, have some redeeming features or qualities or aspects that make up for other drawbacks or weaknesses. Here we are talking about someone who lacks any quality to share with human beings, but is a total disgrace to humanity and a very big black stain on it. Here they have wasted their time comparing and contrasting a monster or one of the irreparably and uniquely deformed species (no human index could measure) with human beings, an act I consider a futile effort.

Oh, I remember this piture of Rumsfeld and isaias immediately after the war. Both isaias and Meles were partners in war against derg. But soon they were engaged in power struggle. By pure logic Meles got the 90 million power while isaias with big ego the smallest power around 5million.
But usa wanted both to work together. That ship sank for good 1998.
Both of them downplayed usa help in fight against derg. Both fought neck in neck to join usa in fighting terro. Usa made it clear work together otherwise we coose the powefull and the smart one. isaias lost. He couldnt fight usa so he took it on ethiopia. The result isvwhat wevsee now.
He said eritrea is a very poor nstion but can do any thing to help usa. And now he is telling us usa is number one enemy for eritreans since 1950. Liar. Where are eritreans free in usa or eritrea? Liar.
