Beneath The “Emamet”
Not realizing beneath “Emamet” (traditional Eritrean Muslim’s turban), Ymma Zeineb was over excited to see Eritreans with “Emamet” in a meeting with the Ethiopian dictator, Mengistu Hailemariam, in Ethiopian TV. And, confided to her close friend “Adey Selas”, and said “N’mejemerya gz’ye nay add’na Emmamet ztekhednu ertrawyan r’eena” (this is my first time to see…

Hard Talk: Internal Conflict & Unvarnished Truth (Part-II)
As we plunge into another political season, it is essential for me to gather my picks to challenge the group packed with boobs of conspiracy nuts. What I mean by boobs, are people who think on “conspiracy theory” that is neither “a conspiracy” nor a “theory.” Those are elites who wave “false flag” of conspiracy…

Eritrea: Caught In A Trap
We are stuck in a rut, going nowhere fast, running on a treadmill. There is this crushing familiarity from the headlines of the Eritrean state media; the announcements of the opposition organizations; the polemic writings of the writers; the readers’ responses to the writers; and the non-response of those who have opted to disengage. I…

على نغمة – الشعب يريد تغييرا النظام
وليدق المدق على نغمة ” الشعب يريد تغييرا النظام”: خطابات صرف الأنظار عن أولويتنا الأولى . ما هي وكيف معالجتها؟ إضافة لوسيلة إنكار الحقائق التي يستخدمها النظام المُستبد في إريتريا في محاولته لصرف الأنظار نجده أيضا يستخدم وسيلتين تضليليتين هما وسيلة تقديم أخبار تنموية ووسيلة وضع أجندة. ويرى النظام أن كل هذه الوسائل مهمة مثل…

YPFDJ: Radicalization Of Eritrean Diaspora Youth (P- I)
An article titled “Exposing YPFDJ in Europe: Part IV” appeared at awate.com. It reveals an untamed and gratuitous physical attack committed by Senai Solomon Lemma, the head of YPFDJ Denmark, against an Eritrean man at a social gathering. Instead of averting the attack, PFDJ members were encouraging and cheering Senai Solomon who got 40 days…

Smoking Guns Everywhere: UN Busts The Eritrean Regime
The evidence that has been gathered by the Monitoring Group on Somalia and Eritrea to document the culpability of PFDJ, Eritrea’s ruling regime, is so massive that the only way one can dismiss the pieces of evidence is on the basis that it is too redundant and the point has already been proven beyond reasonable…

My Life Story In A Nutshell: A Matter Of Perspective
I was not born in Asmara, although I considered myself in that modern parlance an ‘Asmarino’. I came to Asmara when perhaps I was just may be over fiver years old from the next small town, next to the next small town. Living in Asmara was like living in a big village. Asmara, at least…

Eritrean Regime: 2% Dues Neither Mandatory, Nor An ‘Income’ Tax
In its report that was made public a couple of days ago, the Monitoring Group On Somalia And Eritrea, states: “…the Monitoring Group is able to conclude that covert financial activities [of the Eritrean regime] in support of armed embargo violations are financed principally through this extensive, offshore and largely illicit financial apparatus, controlled and…

Monitoring Group Finds The Smoking Gun On Eritrean Regime
A 400+ page report of the Monitoring Group on Somalia and Eritrea, which was made public today, states that the Eritrean regime, far from complying with UN Security Council Resolution 1907, is actually engaged in more brazen and reckless behavior that threatens to destabilize the entire Horn of Africa, and beyond. The report, which was finalized…

EPDP: Squandering A Legacy
The Eritrean People’s Democratic Party or EPDP (the one which is led by Mr. Woldeyesus Ammar) is having its organizational congress as we write this. Instead of sending the customary, the politically correct and mostly empty “congratulatory telegram”, we think it would be more meaningful to the party, to its members, to our readers and…

Discriminate barbarity and the era of Exodus: Part 3 of 3
(Discriminate barbarity: Part 1 and Part 2) As the strugglers grew in numbers their task also grew in quantity, quality and complexities, needing new approaches and new strategies. As a Gardner knows the plant he tends, those who started the struggle thought they knew the struggle no matter how the circumstances changed. Before, when they…

Elites, Isaias, EPLF, And The Eritrean people
It is always better to look ahead than to look back; better to propose solutions than to lament the past but the future is so inexorably linked to the present, the present so intimately intertwined to our past, that to ignore the past is to guarantee future failure. As George Santayana once put it “those…

Ethiopian Village Of Agarfa & The American Ambassador
It is not a coincidence to come across similarity of attitudes in all totalitarian regimes in the world. In their good days they assert that they are undivided part of their region rather part of the whole world. Though informally, many times they consider themselves as regional powers, and they tend to act accordingly. In…
