    THANKS ALOT FOR THOSE WHO ORGANIZED AND VOICED OUR FEELINGS.
    NO MORE HONEY MOON FOR THE DICTATOR AND HIS PUSSYCATS.
    LETS FIGHT FROM EVERY CORNER.
    ONE DAY WE WILL TALK ABOUT THIS IN FREE ERITREA!

  • Maazza September 27, 2011

    When I saw the pics from the Manhattan Center and saw all that crowd in a festive mood, eager to give the dictator and his delegation a rock star type welcome, my heart sunk!! In this day and age, when information hits the globe instantly, are all those people, who live in the West, truly unaware of what is going on in contemporary Eritrea under the rule of this gang? Have they not heard of those perishing in the Mediterranean and in the Sinai, not to mention the attrocities faced by Eritrea’ s youth in the inhuman prisons of Egypt, Libya, North Sudan, etc?

    What happens inside our country is clear to everybody! Those who advocate/advocated for power to be handed-over to the right owners, the people, are either dead in jail from neglect and malnourishment or are languishing there deprived of the most basic human considerations, attended by nurses for their health situation, some of them after giving the prime of their lives – around 30 years – for a just cause (please refer to Elsa Churum’s recent interview of a prison guard).

    As I said, the Manhattan Center’ s crowd and the seeming enthusiasm saddened me because I could not associate myself with that crowd, It scared me to see a big crowd cheering a leader of the most repressive and backward system in Africa, if not the whole world (save N.Korea). With a ‘shoot to kill’ policy, we are told by humanitarian organizations that every month, an average of 3000 youth attempt to cross the borders to Sudan and Ethiopia. Even when against all odds they make it alive, apart from what the Government and people of Ethiopia are doing, for which they will hold a front seat of respect in the anals of History for generations to come, the plight of the youth is a steep and uphill endeavour, with death lurking its ugly head at every turn!!!!! Eritrean Youth has become a very cheap commodity as regards the value of life, thanks to a power hungry and mercilessly inhuman leadership.

    It is under this sad mood, that I came accross the video clip of a few young Eris chasing Monkey. I do not know how many times I played it!! I was filled with hope! The Eritrean spirit of indignation and ‘mfinfan’ is hot and alive! It felt like a great consolation and compensation. Monkey was walking briskly ‘with his tail between his legs’ like someone said earlier. He was shamed! These young men do not know him personally, so there was nothing personal there. This clip is a godsend: it is proof for everyone to witness that there are very angry Eritreans whose anger has overridden their fear. The fear instilled by the system (demonstrated by the crowed in the Center) is being overcome (examples are the recent incidents with the Ambassadors to Israel and the UK). Truth is rearing its powerful head and once the boiling point is reached, those who are committing the crimes will have nowhere to hide – not even behind a condescending and hypocritical crowd, who seem to know only how to cheer without a shred of conscience.

    Regarding the Agame bit: Someone once told us, when Isayas gets real drunk, he would say ‘agame ilenani’ with great indignation. It seems to hurt that he is considered as an outsider, an imigrant. For a megalomanic person who mistakes his persona with Eritrea itself, it must hurt that a slice of Eritreans consider him not the real stuff but an alien. Personally, much as I abhore ethnic denigration of any kind, I always hopped that this labeling wounds this cruel and insensitive man deep in his bones and marrows! Yemane Monkey also, being of the same stalk, should be wounded by this, if he has any feelings that is! I think this is why our young friends while chasing him repeatedly called him Agame, as our friend Temesghen Medhanie ably explained it. It is to distinguish that the men at the helm of present Eritrea (DIA, Monkey, Kisha and some others) are sons of imigrants. Instead of being immensly kind to a country where they were born and brought up and were allowed to reach these high levels of trust and integration by being clement and selflessly service-oriented, they have plunged it into complete darkness.

    Eritrea has a mature discerning people who are not guided by ethnic or religious considerations. Two Icons, Abona Ato WoldeAb Woldemariam and the hero Idris Awate are cases in point. It is a country conscious of values and principles with a high sense of fairness and justice, notwithstanding its present sense of loss and confusion due to the trust it lavished on its present oppressors.

    The question of Agame as a racist remark can not and does not hold simply because, ethincally, as a race, the majority of Eritreans and all of Tigreans are but the same. No racial difference there!

    Last but ver important, Amanuel Eyasu (and Team) your place in our hearts and the right side in History is SECURE. Your earnestness to serve and your anguish over the unbearable reality of our country is concrete and infectious. I salute you, thank you and bless you. Haftcka Maazza

    • Temesgen Medhanie September 27, 2011

      Maazza haftey,

      I read your otherwise beautifully written input with an ample interest. It would be understatement if I say, I couldn’t have put it any better. Well said haftey. Of course, I don’t pretend to be a psychologist, but can not escape the apprehensive face as one looks at the crowd who had come to see Isaias. These people who could have been otherwise productive and nation builders if Isaias was a great leader, came out to see him under duress as opposed to out of a sheer love for him. It is the writing on the wall for everybody to see when they all received a directive to send two or three members of their families when it was first announced that Isaias was coming to New York. Of course, extortion and intimidation have always been the modus operandi of the mafia curtail boss since he set his foot on the plains of Sahil circa forty years ago. As they say, old habits die hard.

      • Maazza September 27, 2011

        Temesgen Hawey,

        Thank you for the kind words. I do respect and envy you for your clement and inclusive spirit for a crowd that appears to be wallowing in the wrong side of history. They hold so much power and they seem not to be conscious of it. Their concerted absence from the Center would have, sybolically, sent HGDEF to where they belong, the beginning of their exit from absolute power and to the dustbin. The elation and joy some of them demonstrated does not reflect the reality on the ground. Our youth, our main wealth. is being batressed and humiliated beyond the acceptable norm.

        The young ERIs in NY chasing Monkey were so contained and controlled, it is a great astonishment. They deserve to be complimented in how they reacted to this situation from the beginning to the end. They were restrained but still communicated to him what they think of him in his role as a top brass in Eritrea’s present day politics, a lier, a traitor, etc, etc.

        Thank you again my brother. Maazza

        • selam September 29, 2011

          I would like to thank you both Maazza and Temesgen for the beautiful and valuable messages. I hope every Eritrean will learn from your knowledge and rich wisdom and start to stand for the rule of law politley but strongly.

          Thank you I am happy to see similar idaes.

          • Maazza September 29, 2011

            Selam

            Thank you for a beautiful message. Our togetherness in rejecting tyranny is vital! You said we should stand for the rule of law ‘politely and strongly’ and you are absolutely right. I need to present my argument to those like Kozami strongly but also politely and control the urge to lash out. It is so angering to see ‘educated’ persons defending unlawfulness and betraying the voiceless.

            Have a good day.

          • selam October 3, 2011

            You are absolutely right Maaza and I know how horrible and heart burning is specially this time to see and listen Eritreans not only with their very detrimental words but also standing against their rights and benefits and spending more time on trivial matters and exchanging awful words. Please Maaza I would like to remind you and the public that how PFDJ cadres are brilliant enough at creating quarrel and divergence among people. This is the way they distract people from talking the heart of the matter. This is an old tactic though but is using it for lengthening their life and power. But believe me it wouldn’t last long. The other point I want to make is about how powerful people convey their messages. Apparently it is not new and I am sure many people know that TRUE POWER lies not on being emotional or muscular but on how you control yourself against anger and being emotional and communicate vividly. This can be done by stating facts, unveiling secrets, supporting your ideas with theories and state it eloquently and in a very concise manner. On the other hand responding to the person you stated and others is really damaging and is not helpful to our long journey this is prejudicial to our long plan of nation building and restoring or valuable traditions. I believe ERITREA as a country should be eternal and we Eritreans should live permanently in harmony. Building solid foundation is very critical for our collective and unsurpassed vision. And the time is now.
            Let me say it again and as I have stated in my earlier reply you, Temesgen and others please don’t lower your self to those guys. You are very enlightened and have deep knowledge base. You have a lot of things to say and present to the public let us use this opportunity and our capacity to explore and teach people about rule of law, democracy, development let us remind the confused ones -the generation that we are losing, let us tell them our future as a nation is bleak and obscure if we continue supporting this regime let’s talk how our Eritrean Social Fabric which is politeness, respect, honesty, collaboration and cooperation and many more are fading. Moreover, let’s unveil the crimes and the dirty deeds of the current regime and their followers (both inside and abroad) with your brilliant English. I hope you will understand me positively.
            With high regard
            Selam

  • Very Eritrean September 27, 2011

    I suppose what happened to Yemane in NY has nothing to do with politics. This is degrading and humulating to every Eritrean watching. That is not the way to lead an opposition. I strongly abhore the action ! Those who were chasing Yemane are shear idiots and if it spirals down from the opposition leadership, then for sure it puts its identity and virtues as a political entity into a big question mark. This is not at all politics and what happened is putting a salt into own’s wound. Very much ashamed of those who did and sponsored it.

    • guest September 27, 2011

      This nothing to associate with opposition these are angry youth how showing their anger against the PFDJ. Many supporters and YPFDJ are in fear because things are not as old time , come on! He just caught out of the scenario, he is in the bar, it is bad day for him and the adulterer with him, but it is a celebration particularly for the eritrean people particularly the youth these are just human like us, and no more fear!!!

  • SAM September 27, 2011

  • Paradiso September 27, 2011

    Temesgen said it right below. I was glad to see Yemane Monkey, hibey-baynan, the coward running away like a dog with his tail beween his legs. I was surprised that the woman with him was more braver than him. Instead of the monkey protecting her, he was using her as his shield running infront of her. This coward is responsible for the death of thousands of Eritreans and he was caught by the camera running away in fear. My people say “a coward dies twice” ferah klete motu:
    The whole NY and UN speech will be remembered forever and ever as “the day yemane monkey shit in his pants”.
    Call him “yemane tsaHtsaHi”
    Shame to Eritreans who are led by the likes of Yemane tsaHtsaHi.

    Folks,

    If anything the otherwise brave act of the young Eritreans has eclipsed the much hyped Isaias’ “seminar” in New York. What the young Eritreans have done is extraordinary where it is unprecedented to come face to face and confront a PFDJ number two mafia where he strode away to get to his hotel before the scene could get blown out of proportion where Monkey finds himself on the most wanted people list. One thing that is prudent the rest of us should keep in mind that, as they called him “Agame” it was not meant to denigrate the otherwise proud people of Tigrai rather, as they called him “Agame” they were telling him that, Eritrea is being run by people who are not Eritreans by blood where the true Eritreans are either sidelined or rotting in prison. Secondly, the young brave Eritreans were caught off guard as they bumped into him in a bar where anybody could be at a loose as one finds himself overwhelmed with angry emotions. It is like you despise somebody so much that you haven’t seen him in a long while and as you meet him suddenly you kinda look for words to shower him with curses. With in the commotion however, the young brave Eritreans have managed to send their messages (messages of a substance that is) across as they told him that, he is a liar, killer and he licks Isaias butt as the great Eritrean heroes (Petros Solomon enter alia) are dying in prison cells.

    • Temesgen Medhanie September 27, 2011

      Paradiso,

      I am glad you agree hawey.

      • haile September 28, 2011

        haftety, hawey… mekmesmesi…haf abilu ab hawi ye’derbika anta denkoro. You insult tigrayan intelligence by plucking out a new meaning to the hate word “agame”….never heard of an amhara called that…

  • truly, Truly i say to you September 27, 2011

    Despite the matter is considering among the monkeys like someone attempting to choose the beautiful one, I will say this. In comparison of Yemane Monkey with Isayas (Afe),regarding humanity, intelligence, charisma and others qualifications for me Yemane monkey is by far more human, humble, intelligent, less Agame but more Eritrean than Isayas. So i wish those angry youngsters anger was directed towards the main evil Isayas. Anyway like it is written in scripture, “Mercy triumphs over judgement” ( James (Yakob) 2; 13)and like i strongly believe in mercy, in many points I want to see guys like Yemane monkey, Gedion and Sofia Tesfamariam,will desrve to get mercy, if from now even they to stop cooperate with devil Isayas and his few worshippers. Because their knowledge will help us for the future if they try to use it for good.
