A political Tsunami
A Tsunami of popular upheavals has hit the region and on its way it has swept two of the most brutal and deeply entrenched dictatorial regimes: Bin Ali of Tunisia and Mubarak of Egypt. Others will hopefully follow them soon, Inshaa Allah. The unabated waves are still spreading over, shaking the foundations of many regimes…

Peaceful Resistance: A Window To Progress And Tranquility Is That The Whole Truth?
I read an interesting article, PEACEFUL RESISTANCE: A WINDOW TO PROGRESS AND TRANQUILITY (NHARNET.COM – 5.11.2010) a couple of months ago. It grandly pronounced EPDP’s art of struggle in a nutshell – Peaceful Resistance. A tactic which is also the strategy. The article further boasts EPDP is the first Eritrean party to officially endorse such…

Alem was not even ten when he joined the Tzebah (meaning dawn—a name given to the young of the ELF). Tzebah was a project set up to indoctrinate the young generation with Marxist ideology and was administered by the Union of Eritrean Youth under the Eritrean Liberation Front (ELF); and Marxism is an atheist ideology…

The Work That Men Do
“Why do people work?” once asked a friend of mine known for his aversion to anything that distantly demanded physical or mental exertion such as lifting one’s fingers to move a chair, having to walk from one pub to the next on foot on a boozing spree, having to guess the days of the month…

A Nation ready To Explode!

Dissipation Of Social And Political Energy
Entropy, a scientific term, is described as disorder and a dispersal of energy, a dispersal of particles which are themselves laden with energy. What is happening at present within the Eritrean opposition forces can aptly be described as entropy, a waste of energy that could have been used to topple the dictator. Entropy is disorder.…

The Struggle Ahead: A Matter of Perspective
It is amazing that Ghadafi is still in power. There can only be two explanations for this. The firs is either his children are still loyal to him—remember when he told the World. ‘My Beable love me, all my Beable they love me”, nobody believed him. Even the hapless Susan Rice said he was then…

Eritrean Spring: Oqbe Abraha Edition
This being ten years after 2001, I have been thinking a great deal about what happened in Eritrea ten years ago. Ten years ago, there was a conflict: on the one side, you had journalists, reformers, students, the elderly, ordinary citizens all politely and peacefully requesting modest changes; and on the other side you had…

When You Wield Your Sword
Following the collapse of the Eritrean Liberation Front (ELF) in the early eighties, I came across an Arabic poem, written by a Saudi poet whose name I can’t recall right now.

The Fall Of Gazafi & The Eritrean-Libyan Relations (Part II)
If one were to re-compose an old Eritrean Tigrinya song to describe how many times the Eritrean President has visited Libya in the last decade, one of the verses would read like this: ‘Tezewery nefarit tezewereyeTribolin-Asmaran kuynu mezawereye’ (Fly Airplane, fly, the Asmara Tripoli journey has become an entertainment). Part I focused on the pre-liberation…

Eritrean Strongman Isaias Afwerki: Still The Regional Spoiler
The recent North African revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya may have temporarily put a pause on Isaias Afwerki’s preternaturally spoiler role in the region, but the strongman has not entirely curtailed his adventures. In February 2011, Ethiopian prime minister Meles Zenawi accused Eritrea of sending militants from the port of Asseb to Ethiopia and…

Close Encounters With Superstition
Adey Lettu loved to drink coffee early in the morning after attending church mass. She trusted St. Michael but distrusted her neighbors very much. She loved a God whom she could not see and hated people whom she saw and felt and touched and drank coffee with. She was, to put it mildly, a hypocrite.…
