A musician from tiny Eritrea has caused a stir on YouTube, with a protest song that appears to criticise the government of President Isaias Afewerki.
Eritrea is the kind of a place where protest songs don’t go viral every day. It is one of Africa’s smallest and most tightly-controlled states. Yet a track named Hadnetna (or “Our Unity”) now has over 100,000 clicks. The artist behind the track is Yohannes “Wedi” Tikabo, and while his song sounds gentle and lilting, his words are not.

@nardos,
Higdefawyan’s power is only personal assassination [to Wedi Tikabo] instead of argumentation!
Come Higdefwyan, join the wind of change, this is the only optiion you have now!

The times indicate PFDJ is stripped of all its cover and is now left with its skeleton of what made it in the first place. The skeleton of PFDJ is total hoodlumizm, (Hiluf sidnet), absolute ignorance (Fixum dinkurna), extortion (srqi), bitter cruelty and inhumanity (zeskaHkiH chekanen isebawinetn). The above identity of PFDJ is practiced by The head of a corrupt mind (bilshiw) Isaias to the irrelevant and incoherent (seb Ajewjew) who comment here. What a bunch of history’s black chapter (nay TariK goHafat)!!!!!
