The Sound That Men Produce
The music teacher told the choir consisting of boys and girls with good and bad voices alike to sing loud just the same. Let your voices rise to the heavens, he said. “Those with good voice, please sing louder, that way you will please the Lord; and those of you cursed with dreadful voice, you…

Abdella Idris: The Cause Is Bigger Than The Man
It was a long way from Barka, Eritrea to London, UK. An Eritrean born in the humble village of Shelab, Gerabit in Barka La’al, in March 1944, died in London on April 29, 2011, after he succumbed to an illness that had him bed-ridden for a decade, and he was buried in Kassala, Sudan on…

Discriminate Barbarity And The Era Of Exodus (1 of 3)
“A Glass house dweller” …Instead of not throwing stones, I try to throw stones in pairs. For every one I throw at someone else’s glass house, I try to throw one at the equivalent place on my house. . ..By throwing stones at my house, I discover the weaker windows, places where there is room…

Addis Ababa And Djibouti: Mannequin And Plastic
In the last edition of Negarit, I lamented the sad situation of Assab, and the sadder situation of the people of that region who are denied job opportunities in their own country by a reckless policy of the dictator and his enablers. I was going to leave it at that, but the events of the…

Myth Of PFDJ Demonstration In Oslo And NRK, TV2

They incited hatred and mobilized for a demonstration against Norwegian media particularly against NRK and few individuals who according to them tarnish Eritrean identity, history and…

Eritrean Traditional Fairies
They live in barren mountains and in woods, in creeks, in rivers and streams, in deep canyons and ravines and dark forests, (and after the coming of the Italians and the subsequent construction of railroads, they seem to have taken a liking to tunnels or galleria) and decide to visit inhabited dwellings once in a…

The “Pardoning” Of The Brits: Another Day Of Infamy For Eritreans
Add June 12, 2011 to the days of infamy that the Isaias Afwerki regime has presented as a gift to the Eritrean people. It should also be a day that should present dramatic lessons for the foes of the PFDJ, which is to say all Eritreans aspiring for a free, democratic, and just Eritrea. For on that…

The Past & The Future: Versions Of History
One of the most difficult political hurdles that blocks creating and shaping a common future is the failure to reconcile with the past. Eritreans are not only writing with different alphabets, but also reading different versions of their history – a case in the point is the chapter of the armed struggle? If you ask…

If The Camel Was To Speak
Unity, equality and social justice (which I will subsequently refer to them as “trio”) are some of the empty slogans of the deceptive regime in Asmara. They pronounce them everywhere. In their media and public meetings. Inside and outside Eritrea, particularly during festivals. As usual the “trio” had its lion’s share during the 20th independence…

The United Kingdom Should Prove Isaias Afwerki Right
There is a saying in the Eritrean highlands when one observes that the effort exerted is vastly disproportionate to the puny outcome: “nezi ktg’Eta trhtSa?”—all of your sweating is for this? We had the exact same reaction after we read the Eritrean Ministry of Foreign Affairs June 7th Press Release regarding the British nationals who…

How To Defeat Isaias Afwerki
Just like any dysfunctional relationship among humans, dictatorships don’t just occur overnight. They take years of bending, twisting and breaking the normal, healthy, rules of human bonding. Bullying gives way to submission and before we know it, acute problems turn into chronic ailments. A bride and a groom who vowed to love and hold each…

Unusual: Imagining Asseb Through Djibouti
As much as I try to stay focused on Eritrean issues, the spirit of the Horn Of Africa pulls me towards it; and the last two months have been phenomenally busy for me. Whenever I sit down to write about something, another thing comes up, and then another, and another. I have a lot of…

The Need For Historical Fairness
History will be kind to me for I intend to write it, once said Winston Churchill. Ever since writing was invented and kings and emperors climbed to their thrones to rule; scribes, chroniclers and later on historians began to document events for posterity. The majority of them scribbled the royal version on their clay tablets…
