The Fear Of The Other Side
Things are going downhill and it seems as if we are going to walk on steep cliffs. I wish this will not happen. Opposition movements are multiple with a range of political formulas. Yet we have witnessed the emergence of new ones and perhaps more will be coming in the future. One cluster here and…

Internal factors in the issue of land, equity and Language
Recently there have been a number of articles written about the problems of land, equity and Arabic in Eritrea. Most of the writers have blamed Eritrea’s dictator for the problems, thus referring only to an external factor. However, I believe that there are also internal factors involved, and if we want to solve…

On The Eve Of The National Conference
What do a Holocaust survivor, one who bore witness to human savagery at its worst and a Neo-Nazi skinhead who could hardly spell the name on his welfare cheque have in common? What could there possibly be to even suggest an inkling of commonality between such two individuals with the most contrasting set of values…

EraEro Guards: Files Awaiting Extermination
The most shocking feature, in the interview with Eyob Bahta Habtemariam, EraEro prison guard, is the story of his colleagues and himself being open air detainees. This double sided situation is not created from void; it is the offspring of the regime’s relation with its cohorts. The EraEro issue, beside its portrayal of how zealots…

My Understanding Of A National Conference
A national conference that measures up to its name should reflect the compatibility of that with the composition of its participants, the goals and tasks set, the results achieved and the mechanism and means adopted. Reality is so complex to squeeze and fit into a rigid pattern or criteria set ahead. Thus allowance should be…

Timar, the Rebel (Part 3)
Kafil was another suitor who was destined to have the same fate. He had fought alongside the ELF before the latter disbanded and dispersed. Fortunately, he changed sides on time and was pardoned and brought into the EPLF’s fold. But it seemed that the EPLF never trusted such converts completely. Such proselytes or apostates had…

Addis 2010: NCDC Participation And Issues (II)
After one of the group sessions, a Tigre speaking colleague who attended the conference remarked, “I do not like the Tigrinya word ግና ‘gnna’ (but). Some Tigrinya speakers express excellent views and suddenly everything they had stated is spoiled after they utter the word ‘gnna.” We had an outspoken Tigrinya speaker in our group who…

Of Kings And Bandits: A Book Review
“Of Kings And Bandits” is described by its author as the story of Jemal, a young Eritrean boy who grows up in the “garrison town” of Keren, in the heart of Eritrea, in the crossfire between governmental and rebel forces. The title of the book harkens to Steinbeck’s Of Mice And Men, which is a…

Is Giving The Kebessa Eritrean Population A Black Eye A Solution?
Commentary on Aklilu Zere’s series of articles By G. Ande Aklilu Zere is no doubt a dubiously “clever” writer with a stinging pen but readers may still learn something from his narratives. The major problem I have with his works is that he makes a lot of insidious and insensitive remarks that suggest that he…

Timar, The Rebel (Part 2)
Many love letters were torn to shreds. Many would-be poets saw their poems ridiculed. Many would-be singers crooned in vain. As she stayed late selling hard boiled eggs to drunkards and barflies making the rounds of the various alehouses in the village, Timar would remember Tesfai whom she loved so much in the past.…

إرتريا والسودان وإثيوبيا – وقضايا السلام والديمقراطية
إن الإخفاق في بسط العدالة والمساواة وحرية التنظيم والتعبير وكل ما يرتبط بالحقوق الديمقراطية والحريات العامة في دول القرن الأفريقي، هو الذي يعوق شعوبها بصفة عامة وشعبنا الإرتري على وجه الخصوص عن أخذ طريق التقدم. فمع وجود هذه المعوقات يستحيل عليها جميعًا أن تتحرر من الفقر والتخلف اللذين ترزح تحتهما وتحقق نموًّا اقتصاديًّا يجعلها تعتمد…

Educating (Not Amusing) A Sensitive Reader
G. Ande is uncivilized because he stole information that was not freely given to him by me. He might have understood my articles the wrong way (none of my business) but when he went public with his erroneous, vulgar and divisive interpretation (my business) I have no choice but to reply. I would not let…
