    The guy in Norway who is behind smuggling of the military trucks to Eritrea should be deported to Eritrea after cancelling his citizenship right in Norway.

    All Eritreans around the world must say to Eseyas regime “Enough is Enough” and all of us have to be well organized and start the revolution even outside Eritrea by influencing the world politicians. But we need start today not tomorrow. Without any prompt action this regime cannot be changed.

    Those people who support the regime have to open their eyes and of course be realistic on current Eritrea’s situation, therefore I also asked you to join the revolution to change the regime so that the Eritrean people can live in their own country rather than run away from their home land.
