    Dejen is one of our heroes, i can’t wait to hear how he escape from prison from his words.

    Mike,

    Good point about how we won independence with such dysfunctional leadership. The truth of the matter is even though the leadership was rotten to the core, our martyrs were dedicated and they sacrificed themselves. If we had a functional leadership we would have won our independence in the 80’s without shedding as much blood. The power struggle between the dysfunctional leaders from both side EPLF/ELF lead to the destruction of our brave solders and the delayed victory.

      Do you Know that Osman Salih Sabe gave advice to both ELF and EPLF to declare independence in 1978 with our capital as Keren. Had they accepted this, we would have saveed 95% of our heros and 13 years of additional suffering. I was young at that time but I supported the idea. Isayas hates to hear this.

        Be realistic,if it was not for the outstanding nature of the E.P.L.F leadership who created Ethiopian oppositions, Eritrean independence would be impossible in 1991 leave alone in 1978.

        • waEro May 21, 2014

          We wouldn’t have needed that.

          • MightyEmbasoyra May 22, 2014

            WaEro,
            I am kind of curious to hear from you on this: what would have happened to those Not yet liberated cities by 1978?

  • waEro May 22, 2014

    Mighty
    Sabe’s explanation was that we have border issue like that of badme now. Besides EPLF & ELF were strong enough to get rid of the Ethiopian soldiers at that time. Isayas hated to hear this.

    • MightyEmbasoyra May 22, 2014

      WaEro,
      So, where did Sabe marked the borders, at that time? I am trying to see his point of view.

      • waEro May 22, 2014

        The same border that we have now.

        • MightyEmbasoyra May 22, 2014

          I am not sure why he chose Keren as a capital. Why not the other freed cities?
          However, isayas was never interested on that for a simple reason. He was not satisfied with the number of martyrs – he wanted more Eritreans to be killed. This was the main enemy of the state and he still is. Only those ignorant people think he works for Eritrea.

          • belay nega May 22, 2014

            Dear Mighty,

            “He was not satisfied with the number of martyrs – he wanted more Eritreans to be killed.”

            Is very unfair to look at the relationship of Esayas and tegadelti,from the butcher and cattle point of view.

        Hi, Mr Nega
        There is no other way to see Isayas, but as the butcher of Eritreans. One has to review the past 23 years of his deed, to come to this matter of fact. You can twist all you want about what happened in the 1960s or 1970s, but the past 23 years have been a live show of horror in Eritrea. Isayas is literally a butcher. When a mad man like Isayas put people in prison for no good reason, for years robbing their mental ability and those unlucky once losing their lives, Isayas is a mad man and a butcher. Mr Nega, isn’t a hard prove how Dejen and others who became innocent victims of butcher Isayas? Isayas became a butcher of Eritreans on day one of his adventure in the 1960. He didn’t only killed our people, he corrupted them and he divided them. It is normal to have division across religion, ethnicity, regions and even gender. Never among immediate family, such us between father and son, mother and daughter, brother and sister as Isayas had orchestrated. To make it clear, listen to what Dejen is saying in his interview, how he was told by EPLF/Isayas he and other young EPLF are going to be the leader of the independent Eritrea; not the other Eritrean who are not there physically. Isayas never had a good intention for our people. He systemically orchestrated division between two brothers; one who is in the front line anther one who is taking care of the family. He crated two Eritreas, one EPLF-Eritrea and anther one, the country Eritrea and its people. Isayas waged war against the country Eritrea and its people. He spit on the grave of our martyrs; he spit in the face of martyrs’ fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters. He denied martyrs’ fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters from participating in their own country’s development. Mr Nega, Isayas is a butcher like no other, he is a mass murderer. Look, this Hero pilot, Dejen, he has done nothing except serving his country. Even if he is an EPLF/Eritrean, he couldn’t skip the butcher. The hero pilot, Dejen case is the testimonial of Isayas’s characteristic–a butcher like no other.
        Mr Nega, you can slice it how ever you want, but Isayas never been good for Eritrea and he will never be any good, as long he continues to breath.

          Genet original,

          Let me take easy your unintended insult to the people of Eritrea. However, whatever you said undermines more the people than reveals the president.
          Unlike the Genet I know, you labeled the 5,000,000 as hornless cattle ready to be slaughtered.

          • Genet-orginal May 26, 2014

            Mr Nega
            I thought, you have a good understanding of my simple English message.
            Dear Mr Nega, You said “let me take easy your unintended insult to the people of Eritrea” You know, Some times I forget how out of touch you are about the reality of the Eritrean people. Who insults the Eritrean peoples’ intelligence? #1, You Mr Nega. You have been telling the Eritrean people, how Isayas is a good Guy. That is an insult like no other; Mr Nega, Isayas hunted down the Eritrean people for 53 years. He is a power hungry, control freak and evil genius. He worked on our emotions for 35 years; he poisoned the water we drink and the food we eat. Isayas has his filthy claw on the Eritreans’ faces and throats since the 1960s. Our crimes, trusting the UNTRUSTWORTHY mad man. Mr Nega, you don’t need to help Isayas. He is just alright, alright, alright; he got it all covered, because he is an evil genius. He planed it well. He gave himself a head start of 35 years to humiliate the Eritrean people. Why? You tell me Mr Nega.
            However, time is running out for him and his fake persona. Nothing is for ever, good or bad.

    Why Eritrea is tied With ethiopia after 23 years?

    1) The fmaily relation between the colonized tigre (tigrinya) and the non-colonized tigre (ethio-tigriyans). The main deference between these same ethnic gruops is the italian colonization.

    2) The kunamas and afars divided of eri and ethio divided since 1998. These families’ relation was not affected by italian colonization and they used to live With out separation untill 1998. They still have strong bond across the border than the other ethnic Groups in their New border.

    3) Many pfdj believes YG is marchning to unite Ethipia. But what YG is saying separating these People were wrong. Removing Italia is correct. And wheterh elf or eplf they could have worked With their counterparts in Ethipia for Democracy and freedom. What is good for Eritrea could have been good for ethiopia too. You dont have to abondone the rest of Your Family because you have left With a beautifull city.

    4) Eplf used two political strategy one a united eritrea and two the exact opposite that is dividing Ethiopia into smaller nations based on Ethnic lines get a secured Eritrea from any possible aggression. Tplf led the ethnic divison in ethiopia but soon found out there was nothing for it. What do you do With 4million People and Tigray With almost nothing (23 years ago, thanks for avoiding eplf devilish way)? Instead of living ethiopia for ethiopians eplf was engaged in Ethiopian afair immidiately after the referendum till it declared war. Result, United ethiopian.

    5) The oppressed ethnic eritreans wanted what ethiopian ethnic Groups have which in the first Place desginged by shabia and after 1998 though it is eplf who United ethiopians by declaring war. Now eritrean ethnic Groups want federal system to develop themselves and their ethnic Groups. This is strong in kunama and afar who are harrased by pfdj and isaias.

    6) elf wants to unite the non tigrinya People by forcing them to have arabic Language for muslim ignoirng their Language. And this inturn firhgtens the christians and the chrstians are looking for their christians in ethiopia incase the eplf falls Down. In Ethiopia there is no special Language to unite the muslim or the christian.

    All the above almost all created by eritreans make Eritrea and eritreans stick together even after 23 years when we are expected to be far away in anyways by war and propaganda.

    Inshort we were supposed to be stuck together in good ways than what we have gone through the last 50-60 years.

    I felt realy sorry for the eritreans andenet mahber and supporter. The will be pissed off by these wired combination.

    sorry for all my spelling mistakes. i am writting this my work Place and i have no spell checker.

  • WaEro May 22, 2014

    Mighty,
    Sabe chose Keren just because it is the 2nd largest city in Eritrea. By the way I was a strong supporter of EPLF but I still believe ELF together with EPLF was strong enough to defeat the Ethiopian army in the remaining of the cities. If ELF can take care of only Barentu and Adi qeyih which were already encircled, EPLF could have removed Derge from Asmara easily. But Isayas wanted to make sure ELF is first removed before derge.

      How did eplf win elf, and why the fight in the first Place?

      Was tplf eritrean before 1991 or were all eplf, elf and eplf were ethiopian before 1991?

      Or did eplf prefer ethiopians than elf?

      Why war among elf, eplf and tplf in the first Place?

      Do you think a Peace between eplf and tplf now makes the relation between elf and eplf sympathizers wors?

      Must pfdj goo for no-peace-no-war With tplf for not loosing the elf sympathizers?

      The size of tigrinya is Natural, why elf does the unatural that is to unite the non-tigrinya by a forgien Language based on religion?

      When you answer these quetsion try not to contradict yourself in every two sentences. After you have finished read YG the circular Journey.

      • Tamrat Tamrat May 22, 2014

        tplf has made a huge political change from calling ‘Ethiopians’ donkies and now member of donkies, why dont both elf and eplf make a policy change at least to be a good neighbour With the donkies?

  • hmmm May 22, 2014

    Let us not fool ourselves and blame Isayas for all the evils. Isayas didn’t have any contact with Dejen, the people responsible for Dejen’s 15 years of suffering are
    1.) the leader of airforce
    2.) the security apparatus of the airforce and the interior minister
    3.) the prison leaders who are the enforcers of the cruel punishments

    Eritrean case is similar to Nazi. Hitler wasn’t the only crime master who commited those crimes. It is time to put together a black list for crime heads of PFDJ. The list should be compiled now so the criminals don’t have any place to hide. The list should be open and victims should be encouraged to expose the criminal elements of PFDJ (those responsible for arresting, killing and abusing Eritreans).

    • Tamrat Tamrat May 22, 2014

      that list must include Your name too because of Your stand on the youths who run from the ‘nazi’ sytem of Yours.

    • Genet-orginal May 22, 2014

      hmmmm
      What is with you? Are you that stupid? There is no leadership, except one mad man, yes, Isayas at the top calling the freaking shot. There is nothing that is done, without Isayas giving the green light for everything. NO one needs to do research about this. It is a given. Dictators, dictate. The hard truth is Isayas at the top and all the zombies and secret party members through the filthy PFDJ’s networks. That is why we can’t reform the terror network of PFDJ. Believe it or not, we have thousands of Dejens suffering under ground cells. I can’t believe, there are Eritreans still supporting this criminal dictator and his zombies.

  • Genet-orginal May 23, 2014

    Dear Pilot Dejen
    You are a good Eritrean who became a victim of a dictator. I listened to your candid interview and I couldn’t help it, but to be overwhelmed with grief and sadness. 15 years of suffering without any substantiated crime is hard to understand for any human being. I think you are a miracle man. You are the lucky one. Thank You, for speaking out about your ordeal, because it helps to shade light to the darkness in our country. We have so many innocent bothers and sisters, mothers and fathers who are kept in dark prison cells for years. We don’t know how we got here. We don’t know who exactly came to our civil society in 1991. We didn’t know we were trusting the most untrustworthy and barbaric subhuman called Isayas. 23 years later we have noting to show, except horror live show, after horror live shows. However, always there is limit for everything. Even this horror live show, will end someday soon. Please take care of yourself. Justice seekers are prying for you. Take care brother. Assennna Amanuel, my hero. Thank You for your service. God bless You
    God bless our country.

    You are the idiot here. Isayas may have order the arrest but who do you think passed the information on Dejen and recommended action be taken?, do you think Isayas is God who knows about what 6 million Eritreans do or say on daily bases? Idiot like you don’t have the mental capacity to process this. My fear is the rest of the criminals can get away with the crime unless we hold them responsible. Isayas is the head of the sneak that swallow victims but it takes the entire body of the snake to squeeze its victims to death.

    • Genet-orginal May 23, 2014

      Dear hmmm
      I think, you have some kind of issue that preventing you from holding Isayas 100% accountable for the horror live show in Eritrea. There is something about you that is fishy. Have you heard the saying “the buck stops at the top”? It is OK to say Isayas is responsible first and most and the others are all secondary. If you are a real justice seeker Eritreans, you have to work and express your action plan by primarily isolating the head of the sneak. Once you isolate the head of the sneak, everything below him will collapse. Please understand, dictatorship has pyramid like frameworks with dictatorial orders coming from the top strictly one way. You think, Isayas doesn’t know what is going on in Eritrea. Right there hmmm’s mental capacity goes down the drain. Isayas knows who he puts in prison cells. You said, “who do you think passed the information on Dejen and recommended action be taken?” You are asking who rats him out. Since you think you have enough mental capacity, Let me ask you, who puts the idea of doing the right thing, asking the right questions is a crime that need to be addressed harshly? This didn’t come from the bottom of the pyramid or the middle, it came from the top. Let us get used to pick on the top first and the PFDJ structures will crumble like the house of card it is. Mr Einstein, hmmmm please, start to think wisely. God bless you

    Guenet-original:

    Let me explain this to you one last time. Unless you have a sinister motive to protect criminals inside PFDJ (just like Awate.com is trying to protect Ali Abdu) you should have gotten my point clearly. Isayas is the head of the snake but none of the crime would be possible without his crime network. We just have to differentiate who is criminal within PFDJ network and expose them now. Otherwise those criminals will blame it all on Isayas and get away with the crimes they committed. Besides, to bring down a pyramid, you don’t start out at the top you brake the frame it is carrying it and everything will collapse. I don’t think everyone in PFDJ is a criminal but it will be important to identify those with blood on their hand and start targeting them just as we target Isayas. The world has been chasing Nazi criminals after the death of Hitler because the victims documented it properly.

    • Genet-orginal May 26, 2014

      hmmm
      “…differentiate who is criminal within PFDJ network and expose them now” No need to explain. This action plan is a given. When you brake the frame supporting the PFDj system and the dictator, where are you going to start? Do you know that dictatorial control relies heavily on psychological aspect of control. Just FYI.
