Neguse Ghebreab April 12, 2016
Who is Dr. Mihreatab? What does he do? I never heard of him. Is he one of those medical doctors who was kicked out of the medical school?
I have heard about the other doctor who confronted the president about Asmara university.
Can somebody elaborate on this doctor?
Semharr April 11, 2016
Dear Miriam,
I admire you for your effort to convince Dr. Mihretab to side with our people. Unfortunately Dr. Mihretab is a blind follower of the tyrant Isayas. In the late 70’s when Eritreans for liberation in North America condone the EPLF leadership, Dr. Mihretab was so upset that he ended up at the Georgetown hospital. With the exception of one person Lilo, who up stained the whole organization who condoned the EPLF leadership. Dr. Mihretab and his blind followers are the ones that are still blindly following the tyrant dictator Isayas. The courageous chairman of Eritrean of Liberation in North America Mengistab Issac was mysteriously was found dead. The organization of Eritreans for liberation in North America was dissolved.
As for Dr. Araya he was smart enough to continue his education and at a time where the Eritrean for liberation in North America was against those that pursue their education. The leaders of Eritreans for liberation in North America were discouraging the Eritreans in the universities from continuing their education and were recruiting all educated Eritreans to work full time for the organization. Dr. Araya and Dr. Mihretab were too smart and both accomplished their studies and they both helped their relatives and kids. They both tried to work with Isayas till 2001. At the end Dr. Araya was kicked out with G13 by Isayas. Since then Dr. Araya has been in all movements in all demonstrations against Isayas while Dr. Mihretab is still blindly following the tyrant Isayas.
Semharr April 11, 2016
Miriam,
Mark my words Dr. Mihretab is going to be kicked put by the tryant Isayas just like Dr. Araya Debesay soon and then only then he will join the opposition.
G13, G15 and all the blind followers of Isayas fortunately at the end they are all kicked by the tyrant Isayas. In the early 70’s the revolutionary of 1973 opposed Isayas and he dissolved them, in the 80’s he dissolved the ELF and in 1993 he dissolved EPLF and replaced them with PFDJ. In 2006 he machine gunned the disabled veterans Isayas has always uses and trashes his blind followers and Dr. Mihretab is on the waiting list.
Kahsay Mekonnen April 11, 2016
Semharr…get your facts straight. Dr Araya Debessay never tried to work with Issaias. In fact, he challenged him openly as back as 1992 at the Washington public meeting. His G13 work is simply a continuation of his commitment to a just and open Eritrea.
You guys, please educate yourself on the history of the people you wrongly write about before passing judgement.

Those who initiated the movement for Eritrean independence (slavery) were enlisted in a proxy fight by Ethiopia’s traditional enemies: Arabs and Islamists; and those who followed them were Ethiopia-hating highlanders with confused identity. What is new today with the same old bandits?
After witnessing ELF and EPLF/PFDJ leadership’s utter contempt and disregard to Eritrea and Eritreans, you can’t flag yes to all former shefatu tegadelti criminal ghedli. My kind of struggle for a better world and Eritrea would start now, not yesterday that is big no to yesterday’s men of failed shefatus.

The Eritrean struggle for independence is a just struggle. The problem is the leadership. Isayas and his leadership are bandits, shefatu.

Dear RSVP, In my view this is very very sad day to me and Eritrean people. You should have mix your guest speakers. You should have brought young and hunger for change full democracy. Additionally, you will need Senior sisters and mum as good guest speakers.
Unfortunately, you are still in the old days lifestyle (i.e., Men and Tegadleti).
Mesfin, Abdela, Adhanom, Suleiman, Dawit were the right hand of the PFDJ regime or they were decision makers, when they PFDJ killed our Hero disabled war veterans tegadleti in 1993.
In 2016, our history is repeating again. PFDJ is still killing all young Eritrean in everywhere and anytime. PFDJ supports are still enjoying their life in side and out side of the country. Eritrea is emptying.
I would greatly appreciate it, if you could ask the following question to your guest speakers:
1. What do you expect to learn from Mesfin, Abdela, Adhanom, Suleiman, Dawit?
2. Are they capable to unite the Eritrean people, and how?
3. Can Eritrean people trust them?
4. Are they still a double agent of the PFDJ regime?
5. Why PFDJ leader allowed them to leave the country in the 2000s, when their war veterans followers (G15) end up in prison for life?
6. Are they a double agent who betrayed G15?
7. Have they achieved any thing in the last 10 years?
In addition to the above, these leaders are whom to blame for the Collapse of the Democratic Dream of Eritrean people in 1993, when they killed their own disabled war veterans.
Myself, I wont trust your speakers, until they are 150% clean from PFDJ or 03.
Anyway, I wish all the best for you and your guest speakers.
Yebio April 11, 2016
Criminal Ghedli is the wrong medicine given to the wrong patient (rather to a healthy person); and what we see today in poor Eritrea is its side effects. It is unfortunate that some Eritrean elites don’t want to cure the patient with some other medicine, and they (the opportunist elites) insist that the fault doesn’t lie with the medicine or doctor, but with the patient.
The current authoritarian system we have in Eritrea is the inevitable outcome of the decision to wage armed struggle against mother Ethiopia….and the way it was justified, and the way it was led, and the way it was nurtured and implanted, mystified in the mindset of our people, and the way elitists were cheering it in the name of an Eritrean spirit, etc and the way it was transitioned and transferred to our current governance (shefatus governance) system, all this was done by the same old mafia ghedli bandits/shefatu of our time.

Yebio ,
You are very brilliant ,on my way ,allow me to thank Assenna website,that have laxeed their policy of including the not so silent majority ,that have found out that gedli was the curse ,It was like giving a heart transplant to a perfectly healthy young man ,the donor being an 80 years old Arab, with congerstive heart failure. Well ,better late than never ,I hope there is enough time to save our people.

Amanuel,
You, or any other moderator for that matter, might want to take a look at this forum, especially the new “Yebio”, as they are trying to seed the dangerous division between folks here in the forum participants. I am sure you can read between the lines. Thanks

Assenna may face financial problems not to afford for pesticide spray
price that could use in killing these bugs . We observed how warmer climate made them pop out from every corner to infest this forum .
Poor deki kebessa had been exploited for generations by such people
with same feature and language regardless their origins starting
from architects of evil tendencies that rule present Eritrea .
Lately they succeed to bring us down at unhealthy narratives that
hurt the feelings of both sides good people in general .
Myself , I like to say the good Tigrawot stay out of this stupidity
and hate mongers among us will perish soon for good .
Semharr April 13, 2016
Semere Gaim,
Are you telling Assena foundation to deny freedom of speech.
If you don’t agree with Yebio’s comment why don’t you challenge him. What is dangerous about Yebio’s comment? Since the inception of the EPLF, the EPLF leadership (Isayas) had betrayed our people. That’s why Yebio is calling them Shifta or Shefatu that means they kill, exterminated all the genuine EPLF fighters along with all Eritrean freedom fighters. Isayas’ track record is concrete evidence itself. That’s what he did and that’s what he doing now. Isayas dissolved the 1973 movement, he dissolved the 1979 movement (EFLINA) Eritrean for Liberation in North America, the ELF in the 80’s and in 1993 the Epld, and so on….

Bravo respected dark fantasy, another enlightening comment from you once again and thank you brother/sister.
The so-called fathers of Eritrean revolution, Ato W.W/mariam, A.Kebire, were indeed driven by “extreme hate” towards Amara and christian Ethiopia respectively. They were also backed by Egypt and moslem Arabs the all time enemies of christian Habesha (Ethiopia & Eritrea).
Few ghedli romantics would try to have us believe that we are not Habesha. The Ghedli era old men and woman had been duped by the ghedli ideology into thinking that poor Eritrea is ‘filiyiti hager’ and Eritreans as ‘fuluyat fitret’ consequently fuluyat fitret needed to surgically separate anything that Eritreans share with Ethiopia. Well, they say ‘be careful what you wish for’! Indeed but sadly.
