What a sad tragedy! Young Eritreans perishing everywhere in the big sea, the Arab desert … and still the regime in Eritrea or its representatives in Libya, Italy or Egypt do not open their stinking mouth.
What is the meaning of being “Eritrean” if it is a badge of shame, humiliation and slavery where everywhere no one gives it any respect?
Seeing these tragedy everyday and worse gulags inside Eritrea, the worst human rights violation, forced national slavery, no water, no food and no hope, how would these ignoramus dare to tell me that I was “liberated in 1991”? Or, as some stupid would say, we fought to free you since 1961? Are you kidding me my parents and town were better off then.
The right term is that I was enslaved! The only thing these idiots brought is misery and chain to sell their own to slavery.

This agony and pain of our people will continue unless our church leaders condemn the regime in Asmara loud and clear. God is watching how these leaders react to such tragedy. Most Eritrean church leaders (pastors, priests …) in Diaspora must in one voice condemn the evil regime in Eritrea.
Nehemiah!
