Tyrant’s Interview Failed to Meet the Audience Expectation for Lack of Focus on the People’s Problems

  People always expect and think that it is a perfect occasion as well a perfect way their leader raises, discusses and explains his top priorities for the year, issues of concern and the biggest problems

 

People always expect and think that it is a perfect occasion as well a perfect way their leader raises, discusses and explains his top priorities for the year, issues of concern and the biggest problems of the country in his interview on the national TV.  But, as usual, the tyrant ignored discussing those issues and, as a result, the people felt their dignity was not respected.  It means that once again the tyrant failed to face the reality and recognize that the people have the right to know whether their living conditions would improve ever or the UN’s sanctions would be lifted ever or when the intimidation or mass/arbitrary arrest campaigns will end.

At the time every Eritrean family is in a dire condition and suffering under the heavy hands of the tyrant’s generals, the tyrant’s promise of helps were on the way would have reinforced the people’s mental and emotional preparedness to conquer their faced problems.  Even though the tyrant does not want the people to be fierce in facing the fears imposed on them by his generals, a promise to improve their lots would have given them comfort and strength.  Putting all doubts aside, the tyrant appears to be in disconnection with the people and the absence of his showing any care must have compelled the people to take a new direction.

The new direction could be led by underground board of wake up for “your rights” and should focus on resuscitating all the dying public services on which their dignified life depends on.  Under the new direction the people should be guided how and when to resort to loud cries by staging mini-protests.

The protests could be staged against the government-owned stores, governmental departments and ministers.  Should there be no positive responses; the staged protests could be up scaled to refusing to submit to the commands of the tyrant’s generals, followed by taking their concerns with the tyrant himself.  That is a way how people wake up to their rights, as seen all over the world, and cannot be considered as a revolt.  In many other countries military officers with moral standing are seen to be instrumental in urging the accused stores and departments to admit that the problems exist and that the people in dire need are rushed with the assistance they need immediately while their concerns are reviewed by the concerned/accused departments.  Such military officers would also push for a stated time of when the helps would arrive for otherwise the affected people would change their perception of “patience till death in the name of dignity” or “patience is power” to “patience needs lightning action if immediate help is to arrive on time” thereby resorting to popular uprising considering that their patience was responsible for the deteriorating living conditions.  Many agree with the people’s impression confirming that the people’s patience ended up in helping the tyrant turn Eritrea into a land of human toys (his subjects).

Indeed, responsible governments understand that inadequate or absence of basic services could be causes for public to rise up in indignation for the government’s failure to deliver immediately.  When it comes to basic needs of life or basic services, even the irresponsible governments know that they have to act and not promise before the starved people start waves of rioting over scarcity/expensive bread and the disappearing basic services.

Restoring the Eritrean Dignity is a must for the People to Fight Back for the Rights

Life in Eritrea of today under the rule of the tyrant is agreed by the whole world to be not short of hellish life.  The tyrannical rule in Eritrea proved to be crook and hollow, not capable of protecting/maintaining the existing services or delivering replacements.  The demand for restoring Eritrean dignity and saving the people is so urgent.

Many people believe that Arbi-Harinet could be used as a quick link between the opposition and the people to boost the dignity of the people.  Yes, the members of Arbi-Harinet are in a better position to start the job of playing a role in restoring the Eritrean dignity.  Arbi-Harinet’s infrastructure could be instrumental in helping the Eritrean opposition to play an immediate role in empowering the Eritrean people inside Eritrea and restoring their dignity.

No doubt, there are out there some Eritreans who believe that change in Eritrea only comes from inside.  But many do not share the same view because the tyrant already crushed their spirit to fight for their rights and left them with either accept his dominance or go to prison.

The absolute control of the people by the tyrant has resulted in the people’s total fatigue to fight on all fronts.  Yes, the brutality of the tyranny has weakened the people to fight back and, as a consequence, the people are experiencing a total fatigue from emotional run back and forth to meet ends, struggling only to feed their starved children and trying to cope with the daily demands of their family members.

In a typical Eritrean world, where truth is blurted out and injustice is promptly rejected, the people are not expected to turn blind eyes to the injustices and oppression by the tyrant and his generals.  According to the Eritrean opposition tyranny in Eritrea, where fear and poverty are enforced, the people’s condemnation of the tyrant and rage against his cruel rule are of every second and minute occurrence but quietly as shown on facial and body expressions.  To the people inside Eritrea, moral support from the two Eritrean Diasporas will empower them to speak out and take action to restore the guts they lost to the cruel tyranny.

Many high ranking personnel are fleeing.  The secrets of the tyrant are no more protected.  The Eritrean Diasporas believe that the tyrant has no support inside Eritrea but the pro-tyrant Diasporas dispute the opposition’s claim.  The ground for the opposition’s claim is that the tyrant is only supported by those blackmailed inside Eritrea and outside Eritrea by those who are favored or bribed.  The opposition’s claim emphasizes the fact that the tyrant has totally failed to respect the dignity of the people by ignoring to listen to their concerns let alone to address the problems faced by the people.  The people are in open air prison.  They don’t have any to turn to for help other than the Eritrean Diasporas.  Yes, the people as victims of long and cruel tyranny, they must understand how they were mocked into submission so that they know how to hold on to their restored dignity.

The pro-tyrant Diasporas counter-claim that the opposition or the pro-justice Eritreans have failed to validate their claim.  The pro-tyrant Diasporas say that so long the people are not showing any outrage, it is evident there is no any brutality to complain from.  Their response to the opposition’s argument is based on their belief that Mengistu of Ethiopia who governed by terror and oppression was hated and people complained against his brutalities.  The pro-tyrant’s Diasporas circular explanations, here, suggest that there is no likeness between Isayas and Mengistu, and that gives a political score to those who claim that Isayas is worse than Mengistu in every form and shape of crimes and violations.

When the country won its independence after long and hard struggle, the people believed and looked forward to living with dignity and respect.  Although justice and human dignity go together, all of the Eritrean cultures consider human dignity as a component of basic rights (living one day like a lion) that outweighs living longer like a dog.  A political system that believes in human dignity protects its people from unjustified sufferings (in jail, slavery, and forced labor), human rights violations, and denial of burial rights to Eritrean refugees, exiled and migrants after death, if so wished by the deceased or the family of the deceased.  It looks like the tyrant didn’t leave any shred of dignity to fight back to reverse the tyrant’s decisions.

The very day Eritreans stopped or failed to say a big “NO” to injustice, the tyrant started to assault on their dignity.  Only when the tyrant’s subjects stand up for themselves and for the rights of others, they are said to be chasing away their fears.  Only then the people can surely start to hold on to their dignity, as human beings who are created equally with equal rights.

The tyrant’s policies that daily drown people into deep sufferings and pains should be stopped through restoring the Eritrean dignity and empowering the people to speak up and condemn injustice. Many caring and people-oriented businessmen with wait and see positions already could not absorb the tyrant’s policies of coercion and interferences anymore and had to move to other countries for their own safety.  Only after empowering the people, the Eritrean businesses will be protected because, as beneficiaries of the businesses, the people should know when to say “yes” or “no” enabling their sense of dignity to grow, if the tyrant is going to respect them.

Building Hopes are Basis for Restoring Dignity

There are some seasoned politicians within the Eritrean opposition who subscribe to a different angle of characterization of Isayas.  The differing characterization of the tyrant by his subjects (Eritreans inside Eritrea) and his pros-Diasporas is the cause for the relationship row between the two Eritrean-Diasporas (the opposition and the pro-tyrant).  The opposition seeing and feeling the sufferings of the people inside Eritrea chose to differ with the pro-Tyrant Diasporas’ characterization and support that of the people inside Eritrea or the victims of the tyrant and his rule of the jungle.

Despite the world’s condemnation of the tyrant for isolating and sealing Eritrea off from the outside world and subjecting the Eritrean people to starvation and forced labor as well as stripping the people of their children, properties and monies, the pro-tyrant Eritrean Diasporas are still showering the dictator with money, support and praise.  Choosing to err on the side of truth and to clear the cloud between the two Diasporas, the seasoned Eritrean politicians are resorting to bringing the best out of the tyrant as perceived by his pros-Diasporas.

The question is why the tyrant glitters before the eyes of his pros-Diasporas?  To his pros, the tyrant is the most loved and respected.  Because they see the unnoticed good by others, the pros-Diasporas’ ears must have failed to convince them by what is being said about the tyrant.

In acknowledging the unnoticed good in the tyrant, the seasoned Eritrean politicians are assuming there to be two Isayases: the cloned-Isayas who was previously stationed in Massawa and currently in Adi Halo, and the real Isayas who was previously head-officed in Qatar and currently in the UAE.  The seasoned politicians appropriate the unnoticed good to be practiced by the Diaspora-Isayas who is head-officed in UAE, while that the noticed crimes and cruelties to the cloned-Isayas now stationed at Adi Halo.

To the opposition, the political fact is that a face cannot be put on what cannot be seen.  Nor the bad can be turned into good and lovable when there are crucial evidences that the tyrant failed to recognize that fire (war) burns and kills.  Yes, the unwanted wars that have burned and ditched the Eritrean youth in trenches for life have become grounds for accusing the cloned-Isayas of gross human rights violations and crimes against humanity.

By exerting best endeavors, the seasoned politicians believe that Eritreans will come together once they stop spitefulness and seeking revenges against each other.  Only then, Eritreans will be able to create a climate of cooperation.  The pros-Diasporas of the good-Isayas in UAE will be convinced to influence a change in Eritrean by pressurizing the cloned-Isayas who is stationed in Adi Halo to step down.  The people should know that it is time to stop subjecting themselves to subservience.

There is nothing that is impossible and that is why Eritreans have to keep hoping against all hope.  To see some respect for those abused, all Eritrean Diaspora should demand for restoration of dignity and building hope in Eritrea.  The Eritrean situation being unusual to set goals, the options must be focused on committing all to building hopes so as the people restore their dignity and respect.

Since the despair is on all fronts of the Eritrean life in Eritrea, the fight for restoration of dignity and building hopes should take a multipronged approach.  For the Eritrean Diasporas, defending human dignity in Eritrea starts with confronting on all fronts those who damage the names of the Eritrean refugees.

After all, the cloned-Isayas has shamed the Eritrean people by causing steep decline in the living standard of the Eritrean people and compelling the people to cross the border for their survival.  The devastated Eritrean economy along with the self-imposed border blockade has squeezed the country into submission of becoming backstage for launching war attacks against neighboring and brotherly people.  Yes, the cloned-Isayas betrayed his supporters when he confiscated their wealth in Eritrea and, as a consequence, the economy of the country was hurt because some of his supporters stopped funding his (the tyrant’s) rule.

The worst is the cloned-Isayas’s failure to put an end to his invitations for the UN’s intervention by refusing to come clean.  He could have come clean by diverting his tyranny into a political gain, freeing his political prisoners for money and allowing the self-exiled students to obtain their diplomas and school transcripts for money.  The money generated could be spent on enhancing the basic service of the country, while at the same time cutting down the running cost of the prisons by free all the political prisoners. But instead the tyrant’s dirty politics of surprising turns to biting the hand that feeds him is not letting anyone to trust him.

Only when dignity restored and hope built, the people can have confidence to say “NO” to tyranny.

    Dear rezen,
    Couple typographical errors
    1. I think Isaias joined ELF 4- 5 years later ( late 1965-1966)
    2. The catastrophe attack was in ….. September 11, 2001

    • rezen January 21, 2018

      Thanks Meretse

      1) Re: Issyas’ date of joining the liberation movement
      Yes, it was in 1966. Issyas went to the Bus Station for the last time. Two of his University friends bid him well at the Bus Station. One of them, Woldeyesus Amar, narrates a story of conversation the two friends had on the way back. The friend (whose name escapes me now) made an extraordinary prediction: QUOTE “Issayas will split the liberation movement into two; failing that, he will be back to Addis Ababa,” UNQUOTE

      2) Re: Issayas’ daring action
      I thought it was one week after the September 11 horror, when the World’s attention was still at its peak.

      Meretse, I will consider it a favour if you always straighten me out whenever I stumble or make a fool of myself. I mean it. For some reason, I have this inherent attitude in my nature that being corrected never bothered me. On the contrary, I appreciate it and consider it as an education. Thank you.

      P.S. Now, I will address (separately) your comment on my commentary: Re: Pharos of Egypt

  • meretse January 20, 2018

    Dear brother, you dumb right when you say – “I still don’t know the mystery of Eritrea. It is complicated.” Let me join you with a humming tune >> “Hummm Bele“Taf Z’Hankote”.
    Since the article speak volumes, I will put aside its first and the last part of historical facts and would rather focus on one part: – the invasion of the Pharos of Egypt, in October 1875. The Egyptians commanded by out-of-work officers from the American civil war were soundly defeated by the armies of …………. in November. I left the armies of_____ blank because I do not want to have some readers a heart-attack, although the done history speaks for itself. I may be wrong though BUT, physically Egypt is located in north Africa, but it never lived there. Again, most part of Egypt is located in north Africa and a part of it in the middle East with only life support of the Nile Basin In other words Egypt is a barren land without the river. Egypt is one of the luckiest countries on this planet because it always milks a cow which was/is never owned by her.
    ላም ኣለችኝ በሰማይ- በኣይነ የማላይ >> ወተትዋን ግን…
    To make it short visible or invisible, 10 years ago, hundred years ago, 1000 years ago Egypt or whatever years ago Egypt had been living among us since ever it existed. The problem, it seems Egypt had never had an open heart. Egypt is always “paradoxical”.

    • rezen January 21, 2018

      Hi Meretse, It is me again.
      Your historical input about the Pharos of Egypt and your choice of proverbs is deep and elegant. And you touched upon my favorite subject: education in general and history in particular. Conclusion: The history of Egypt that you narrated is way above me.

      My knowledge of Egypt is limited to knowing its capital city Cairo to which I made a couple of trips and joined the multitude of tourists to see the concrete wonder of Pyramid. Like any tourist, I also pretended to understand its background. That is all – other than the usual observation of the negative attitude of the people towards Black Africans (‘Abeeds’). In saying so, perhaps I appear to be a sensitive person. I am — I will not hide it.

      But let me go back to my pet complaint about our education system. My friends and close relatives are kind enough to be tolerant with my constant narratives about the crimes that have been perpetrated by colonial forces. I firmly believe that we were never EDUCATED in the true sense of the word. In totality, the African Child was never taught to develop his/her analytical mind, but only to memorize and mimic what had been thrown at him/her – always concentrating on GRADE MARKS. In fact, let me stretch it: the education that is being taught nowadays in Eritrea would be a comedy for laughter had it not been a serious matter affecting the future of the nation.

      A person I know went to Asmara and met a fellow who was constantly being addressed as DOCTOR by people who were desperately seeking for medical treatment. Probing delicately, the person found out that the “Doctor” went to some school at Asha Golgol, in the outskirt of Asmara, for TWO YEARS!!! It is unbelievable. STOP

      Brother Tesfit, don’t worry about these bunch of left overs remnants of criminal ELF murderers. You just keep contributing your positive inputs and contributions.
      Ignore the rest opportunist losers as hopeless and as still stuck in their dark murderer 60s era.
      Well said in your response to the so called fake “Almaz”! Poor assenna is infested with ELF fakes.

      • Tesfit January 21, 2018

        Thank you brother Tsehaye for your uplifting and very kind comments. You are one in a million. I agree few old x- ELF Remnants are trying to divert our focus.

      • Bus=Zone January 21, 2018

        you guys still ; talking about ELF ? who is ruing the show ? who took us to war in Badema is it ELF ? who let the people flee the nation , to Sudan and Ethiopia and Cross the Sahara you must be some kind off trolls Plz Take your head out of your ass and think properly

  • Tsehaye January 21, 2018

    Brother Tesfit, I love reading your great comments and please keep it up.
    The remnants of criminal and corrupted ELF murderers were never satisfied that EPLF liberated Eritrea and continues therefore their armed/rhetoric struggle (from their crippled wheelchairs) to this day, because these murderer riffraffat still want to implement their Pan-Arabic agenda that Egypt started in the mid 1800s and reignited by supporting the foot soldiers mercenaries of evil ELF’s agenda. Egypt’s and the bastard Arabs agenda still being to be able to control the source of the Nile and control the entire Red seacoast and to make the Red sea an Arab sea. Their Arabic as official language program in poor Eritrea is key in this endeavor. Just watch out the Esubat sold outs!

    • k.tewolde January 23, 2018

      My smart friends T&T, can’t you see that scenario playing under your nose Egypt is fishing freely in our waters,a large chunk of the seacoast is under multiyear lease to UAE and others w/o the Eritrean people’s consent and more deals are underway to use our homeland as a war theater for the oil rich oligarchs,where do you see ELF in this picture or are you simply having flashbacks?

  • Betrihaki January 21, 2018

    It is really painfull to listen. to Presiden Isayas’ interview. His choice of words, his convoluted reasoning,his. presumptuous posturing as a major player in the horn of Africa , his unsolicited opinion about ethiopia, and his belligerent tone really defies and desicrates the office of the President.
    I wish he takes a deep breath and try to reflect on the dismal image he has created in the eyes of his people and the global community. I wish that he realizes that he is abusing the Eritrean people. I wish that he changes course and pave the way to democratic governance. I wish that he realizes that the Eritrean people are sick and tired of his nonsensical rumblings on state tv. I wish he realizes the end of the line is approaching for every tyrant in Africa and prepares to make a nice exit like Mugabe. The Eritrean people want to see him go. Let the good Lord instill him the wisdom to terminate his reign of terror in the interest of peace and normalcy in the beleaguered Nation that we all love and call Motherland Eritrea.

  • Z. Hagos January 21, 2018

    At a time even our silence hurts those Eritrean victims under the cloned-Isaias, please let’s grow up and don’t infest this great website with hatred and discouragements. Both the ELF and the EPLF are of the past, they are bygones. What we got and see are Eritreans kids, youth and mothers who are sufferings under Higdef and the cloned-Isaias.
    .
    The whole Eritrean young generation is at risk, only our observing good faith and watching our language will help us listen to each other so as our inputs be meaningful and productive. Our inputs should be on how to save those at risk. Let our inputs give hope to those at risk for they need support to endure the waves of problems they are facing. We should give hope and encouragement to those who are feeling so fearful and powerless to defend themselves.

  • Betrihaki January 21, 2018

    Every time that we expect him to come up with something that will heal the wounds of the Eritrean people, he comes out with more dismal and heartbreaking propositions that adds more woes and agonies to the people. He seems to be unable to go out of the dismal box he created for himself and learn to put some brighter light to his Presidency. He has failed to realize that he is occupying the highest office in Eritrea. He must stop talking and thinking like a thug and street urchin. He must start looking inwards and try to pull out the Eritrean people from the dismal economic and social tragedy. Instead of trying to draw attention unto himself by acting as a lineman in the power dynamic of Middle Eastern power houses, he should focus on what matters to the Eritrean people. He should try to make Eritrea an attractive investment and tourism destination. At thud point in time Eritrea, under his leadership has been relegated to the 189 out of 190 position in termss of being the least favored country for potential investors.. Eritrea has become one if the leading refugee producing countries surpassed by war beleaguered Syria. Gdp growth stand at a dismal 3 %. The Eritrean people are suffering from a coercive fiscal policy that has crippled economic activity. The coffers if the Eritrean treasury are near empty because much of the finances of the country has been diverted to party controlled businesses and conglomerates who are out of the state’s official venues and structure. Wouldn’t it be more prudent for the President to focus on these and other issues relevant to the people of Eritrea instead of acting like a small rancher with a big hat and depreciate his soul and mind by being obsessed with external politics and burden himself of becoming an apocalyptic prophet of global political trends. The Eritrean people are crying for prudent and benevolent leadership and they are getting the opposite. The Eritrean mothers and fathers who paid dearly for independence never crossed their minds that they will be victimized by a hero turned merciless tyrant in post independent Eritrea. Mr President what happened? Are you not the same Isayas that we revered and respected when you were leafing the armed struggle? How dud you morphed your self from a hero to a villain? Well that seems to be a millenea question that no body can answer except the President himself. And you guys who have chosen to be the enablers of the evil regime will be remembered in Eritrean history as the Radputins of Eritrea and as ones that took pleasure in the sufferings of your own people. Your complicity with the evil deeds and machinations of the convoluted regime will relegate you to the bottomless pit.. You need to reconsider your dismal predicaments and come to the side if the Eritrean people. You have some time left to live up to the hopes and aspirations of your people. It is not late.

      ‘ Mr President what happened? Are you not the same Isayas that we revered and respected when you were leafing the armed struggle? How dud you morphed your self from a hero to a villain? ‘…….I know some still have a soft spot for the tyrant even though they abhor the havoc he reeked on this nation, however when you speak on behalf of the Eritrean people there are so many who were always skeptics and never viewed him as a hero nor revered him, one of them is me since age 14 y/o.The demise of the nation lies there,it placed all its marbles on him, one perishable human being.

  • Betrihaki January 23, 2018

    K. Tewelde. You are right. The history of the liberation era is very contentious. And as you have rightly put it there are many Eritrean s who view Isayas with contempt. . And there are a lot of stories to be told and untold about him. But my contention is that much of the indignation and disappointment on Isayas were intensified after the Eritrean people saw first hand what kind of leader he became in post independent Eritrea. The true colors of Isayas came onto the spotlight after 1991 That is why I believe that he, like any African liberation fighter turned President, ,, has morphed into a dictator. Political scientists are in full agreement of the fact that former liberation movement leaders more often than not become vicious dictators. My phrase “hero turned villain” is based on the foregoing observations made by many scholars.

    • k.tewolde January 24, 2018

      I love your mature argument Betrihaki,however this one is different.From the get go he hacked his way to the top and the forensic trail goes way back to a little village called A”lla where he started putting together the vehicle he cruised Al Capone style all the way to the capital in 1991.This apocalyptic phenomena we are witnessing in our homeland today didn’t show up out of the blue,it is the sum total and climatic manifestation of what has been brewing for over half of a century. A serpents nest doesn’t hatch eagles,it hatches serpents and my home is infested with them.

    ” the forensic trail goes way back to a little village called A”lla where he started putting together the vehicle he cruised Al Capone style all the way to the capital in 1991.”

    k.tewolde

    Well said brother K. Tewelde.
    From day one he was a controversial and divisive person.
    All those who knew what he was doing and shared some of his projects at early stage, died in suspicious situations, except one who could not reached till 91..
    Tesfanchiel Giorgio was living in Addis away from Shabiya. But when Iseyas’ agents went there he also was killed.
    The cruelty he showed with G15 is not much different from previous cases. They knew too much and he felt its either him or them. A man who is business of killing for the last 40+ years cannot be expected to do die in peace.

  • Jigsa January 25, 2018

    For years I have been away from following news on Eritrea. The reason is, it hearts to realize that there are still people outside of Eritrea far from hellish life there still trying to preserve the hell. The forum discussion and the fall down of Eritrea is still the same after two years.

    Why would you want to see your country lagging behind. Why would you spend all your time wishing Ethiopias demise instead of fighting for real for your country’s development.

    Ethiopia is blooming and slowly developing while the government of Eritrea and its followers wait to see the fracturing of Ethiopia. Eritrea on the other hand is forgotten and is getting strongly behind.
