My name is Samuel Peteros I am 14 years old and I currently live in the United Kingdom. Ever since I was a child I wondered how beautiful Eritrea is? After seeing Eritrea on a family vacation I realized how terrible dictatorship was in Eritrea, when I heard dreadful stories about families and citizens of Eritrea trying to run away in order to forge a good future. I always wondered if, If only Issaias had resigned as president would they stay. If democracy, equality and liberty were introduced would they stay? and for many people the answer would be yes. However in today’s world, Eritrea is unnoticed and forgotten, due to Issaias’ denial of the actual reality in the country. Eritrea’s record with regard to democracy, equality and liberty is appalling.  From given statistics, 2/3 of Eritrea is facing malnourishment this statistics gives a good indication that Eritrean are desperately suffering without anyone realizing the effect Issaias has brought?

When I toured the villages of Eritrea I saw civilians face torture (the darker side of the world) I regretted I couldn’t do anything as nobody would take notice of me because of my age but through this message I want people to take notice open their eyes and read what I have to say as enough is enough all you patriotic Eritreans please listen to this message “if you want a better country with a brighter future stand up for your own peoples right and together we shall destroy all evil hopes and desires Issaias has for our own people”.  Since he was elected all he had done was bring change for the worst whether it was arresting opposition members to journalists, who only wanted to do their job. What do you call this? Where’s the hero we asked for?  None of us wanted dictatorship instead everyone wanted freedom, equality, liberty and democracy on the other hand we get opposite.

Three dictators have died or resigned now its time for Issaias to face his crime and deal with the consequences, for he is the one who is killing innocent civilians for speaking the truth. Iis this what freedom is, where is the democracy and the liberty? Every single person in Eritrea shouldn’t have to carry on living this way but this can only happen with everybody’s support to overthrow the world’s cruellest dictator for the sake of millions.

Thank you for reading my article.

    It sadness me ,when we feel pain for the suffering of our people, to observe someone to laugh and entertain on their misery.
    This not political issue , it is about morality and humanity . Defending PIA put you as guilty as he is , and those victims would
    consider you not different than him. If you are true Eritrean you will regret for your stupid and irresponsible behavior.

      Haben, Haben, Haben:

      Your statement does not make sense what so ever. Forget character assasination and comeback to your senses. Be realistic. I advise you to take advantage of the lessons from the Gadafi loyalist. What is happening to them?

    • Samuel Peteros October 26, 2011

      I wrote the article myself without assena contribution accept for posting it on their site and i dont mind hearing your point of view however denying the truth is like lying to your own brothers and sister that have passed away due to the herendous dictatorship.

      Gaddafi is dead Isayas is next!

      Yes we can DISTROY the dictator ISAYAS and his terrorist organization the PFDJ where ever they are.
      Yes we will DISTROY the dictator ISAYAS and his terrorist organization the PFDJ where ever they are.
      Eritrea will be free soon!

      – The international community’s talking peace and carrying big stick [sanctions] is having an effect.
      – The Eritrean people are beginning to realize that there is no point in waiting for the regime to reform itself — that it needs to be overthrow.
      This is the moment we must come together to save our land and our people.

      Let freedom ring in Akeleguzay!
      Let freedom ring in Barka!
      Let freedom ring in Denkel!
      Let freedom ring in Hamasien!
      Let freedom ring in Sahil!
      Let freedom ring in Semhar!
      Let freedom ring in Senhit!
      Let freedom ring in Seraye!

      Let freedom ring in ERITREA!

      Let freedom ring allover Eritrea!
      Let’s LIVE FREE OR DIE with dignity.
      Our martyrs did not die to crown the tyrant.
      We must reclaim our flag, our constitution, Highi Indaba, our land (our original provinces), our people, and our culture.
      DISTROY the dictator ISAYAS and his terrorist organization the PFDJ where ever they are.
      Eritrea will be free soon!

    Your idea about the petition is very good but no one atleast the oppostions in this web site support it guess what let us say your idea became successful and the government reduce the service to two years then that will be something good for warsay and the govt will get a credit and because of that the oppostion will not support your idea they dont want the govt to get a credit and they prefer the youth to stay in service forever.

    • Semhar October 26, 2011

      A massage to all Eritreans.

      LIVE FREE OR DIE with dignity.

      DISTROY the PFDJ the terrorist organization where ever they are.

    • sol October 26, 2011

      U guys are joking!!

      Why u need to collect petition.They are not some kind of criminal who need your petition, the youth already took the matter into its own hand because no solution will come from criminal PFDJ and their blind welfare collector diasporas,who never raise the issue of the youth except their house in Asmara(they are more concerned about the price of brick,cement and Ferro.
      Having no hope they is leaving in mass and Eritrean defense force is becoming thinner and thinner,Woyane is waiting appropriate time where the defence force become weak and the moral of the rest is the maximum to run away or give hand. I will see those lier diaspora and Ypfdj will come and fight to save your country.

      If there is no moral being truthful, and supportive of the Eritrean cause you guys just dance and praise DIA, and that time u gone regret by your inaction and denial of the horror the youth experienced in the hands of PFDJ.

      • Abdi October 26, 2011

        @sol
        what the petition has to do with crime?
        Mind you those youngsters whom you abusing their case are the pfjd’s brothers and sisters too.your last lines shows howcaword and opportunist you are for waiting (praying)the Agames to get the appropriate time to fight for you and hand you the lead without any sacrifices you make,what’s the price? death of our soilders and waiving of assab or may be more.isnt it?
        you are such a caword, blind and harguaf, infact we don’t expect ur signature as it concerns eritreans only.

    • Abdi October 26, 2011

      Indeed these opportunists won’t support it, hence i added “concerned eritreans”as you said they prefer to see the young eritreans suffering more and more in exile. For them its how to get the opportunity of leading the country, regardless who pays the price or what the price be. Having understanding their goal,we should ignore their existence(they are few dozens including the Agames who hiding under eritrean skins)and go for it,Im sure it will get support from the real eritreans including HGDEF members.

Sadam hussien had few supporters but did they saved him? where are all his family? haben don’t be selfish learn from those dictators. remark my word sooner or later he(Isayas ) will get the samething. Trust me. failer is a success if you learn from it. but this guy he will never learn from his mistakes so a big gift is infront of him from the lovely ppl of eritrea.
    thanx. choose to be good and you will feel good.

  • zemen_14 October 26, 2011

    I admire Samuel’s analysis though he’s a 14 year old chap and I hope he will be an inspiration for others. In Tigre there’s a saying that goes ‘welka min abe ow gib ta ow heni kib), if a child has a good way of up bringing such as Samuel’s family, the family will reap what they have worked very hard for many years. I think Samuel is a good example for those children who are blindl supporters of HGDEF (YPFDJ).
    Individuals such as Adi, who have lost their conscience and obsessed with admiring one individual must realise that, the dictator is leaving our mother land before you realise.
    I encourage Samuel to write more articles and if need come there are many Eritreans who could inspire him.

  • tegadalay October 26, 2011

    this 14 years old kid must be idiot or have brain damege or he have afamilly from thos in ERAERO PRISON TO use this meat head stupid kid shows how the oppositon are going low desprate nice try ibet evry one the father of this kid is one of those going to ADISS ABEBA to kiss MELES SHOE to take them to eritrea you remember WAYANE was promise the oppositon REGIME CHANGE so meybe the father of this poor kid is one of those craying for power

    • sol October 26, 2011

      You are real Tegadaly

      U are such a moron to disparage this smart kid who have visualized what is going in side Eritrea, where is the development , people are still waiting in a queue for two pieces of bread and the prices are far more expensive than even the western country.Many common things become rare and extinct like milk, butter and others. Even the beer that is served for the diaspora and military officers imported from Ethiopia through Contraband while the label of Bedle beer replaced by Asmara beer.It is so funny you guys are dump and the generals of Eritrea drink Ethiopian beer but labeled in Asmara.

      • Haqqi Nezareb October 26, 2011

        So,

        This Tegadalay guy a really retarded one. Be easy on him because he doesn’t understand a bit of what you are trying to inform him.

        Just ignore him, he is another zombie.

        • Haqqi Nezareb October 26, 2011

          Sol,

          read as ” This tegadalay guy is a retarded one….

      • Abdi October 26, 2011

        @sol(surviving on lies)
        Who cares about the beer,but generally speaking if the country can import unexisting items to cover the shortages from wherever it means the gov’t is doing well on handling the responsibility of feeding the country.so this is not a weakness,most countries import to cover the shortages they might have. Asmara bira is still working and there is no need of import beer,unless for sake of variation.

    • The Bee October 27, 2011

      “Tegadalay” character is exactly what we are up with. Cruel to children and very insensitive. “Tegadalay” does not care if he damaged a young innocent child, who is still learning about the world around him. Tegadalay’s mind set is also corrupt. All these assumptions about “his family” background, “ERAAERO PRISON”, “ADDIS ABEBA” are all imaginary and have no basis. Shame

  • tegadalay October 26, 2011

    hi sol who is talking abaout beer you dam ass idiot are you reletead to this retarded 14 years old kid you talk abaout ethiopian beer yada yada thats way you opposition are not wining when some one comments some thing you idiots comment different

    • Shawel October 26, 2011

      I will just add one thing I bet you if you phone Asmara today, the Wheat flour for cake bread hmbash is tana flour which is Ethiopian product.
      even after abusing the youth for slavery and all the propaganda you cant even provide locally produce bread, at the end HGDEF relay on smuggled food aid from Ethiopia. where is the self reliance ” btsfrena ” HGDEF policy is west of time for the youth, by the-way if you have the money you can buy any HGDEF official’s today to drive you to Sudan. the only problem we have is with the youth with out money.

      • Shawel October 26, 2011

        So tegadalay a 14 years old teen expressing his opinion is good, you should encourage him to explore more so that he dose not end up like you, like a HGDEF camel towed by DIA.

      • Abdi October 26, 2011

        I’ve heard Agames parrots repeat that,and sometimes they say,ashimakewn hashawi, dahan bel tray

  • Samuel Peteros October 26, 2011

    Tegadalay, i dont mind if you want to express your opinions and i cant take the fact that you are an Eritrean but to use foul language and mentioning my father you must be having a joke, if you think Eritrea is heaven why dont you leave your current citizenship and live their for the rest of your life ? as always you will probably say no giving me excuses like all thy other pro Issaias loyalists, secondly if your a true Eritrean why would you use foul language towards your brothers and sister, i dont care who you are despite i am only a 14 year old child you shouldnt be disrespecting my family members and if you dont like my article what would you even bother reading. People like you are harei.
