According to the PFDJ government’s mouthpiece –  shabait.com, Dictator Isaias Afewerki will conduct an ‘intensive interview’ on ERI-TV. Previous experience tells us the PFDJ propaganda TV station has failed time and again to put the right questions forward. The list of the semi-formulated questions already published on shabait also suggest that even on this round, it is doomed to failure. Therefore, given it is Christmas time, hopefully, the last one for the PFDJ regime, we are giving it a hand by offering some relevant questions. We hope ERI-TV won’t decline the massive 100% discount. It should never miss this opportunity as there will never be another chance – all predictions indicate this will be the last Christmas for the PFDJ.

Compare the PFDJ wish list of questions (in Italics) with our offer (in bold)

H.E. President Isaias Afwerki will conduct extensive interview with the national media outlets on the occasion of New Year 2012.
The interview to be conducted in the second week of December, the President would highlight in depth the following issues:
– Eritrea’s enduring choice and independent political line;

In your 20 odd years as unelected leader, Eritrea has become a messenger and mouthpiece of some Arab countries; – actually you have been insulting other countries on their behalf and sending troops under their command when they order you to; so how could we say that Eritrea, under your leadership, had an independent political line?

– Effective popular participation, strong rebuff, valuable the Eritrean society’s culture and values;

In your reign as self-imposed ‘president’ you have been working hard to replace Eritrean society’s culture and values with your own, how far have you succeeded on this project?

– The bright future and tenacious strive of the Eritrean people inside the country and abroad;

In the last few years Eritrea has become to be known in the world for producing refugees. Who is chasing Eritreans out; particularly the youth? If a brave young man abstains from voting with his feet and tells you on your face that you are the main hurdle to his bright future, what would be your answer?

– Reward and glory to the Development Forces and their social security;

Your political life is full of unfulfilled promises. You have never stopped promising to reward the Eritrean army; in 1993, you have even said that ex-fighters will be compensated for their service with 1 dollar a day. But many have already died. How do you expect the ‘national service’ recruits to believe you this time around?

– Progress assessment of the integrated national development strategy;

Is this ‘integrated national development strategy’ a new name for the failed WARSAY-YEKEA’LO project which you have been using for your own propaganda purposes? How many generals and colonels (modern day slave masters) have benefited by enslaving the youth, while leading your WARSAY-YEKEA’LO project?

– Implementation of vital projects of economic emancipation and related freedom and sovereignty reinforcements;

How can you speak about economic emancipation while people are queuing for bread? Whose economic emancipation are you talking about? That of the generals and colonels; the emerging new class, which has been created by the dirty money of illegal human trafficking that is done by your corrupt commanders in collaboration with the Rashaida smugglers?

– Detailed all round future national plans, implementation guide lines and macro-economic productivity and effectiveness;

Could you please tell us Eritrea’s annual budget from last year, before talking about future national plans and macro-economic productivity?

– Ensuring food security and its role as a decisive factor for a higher stage;

Despite talking about ensuring food security for the last 20 years you have never achieved a tiny percentage of that; is it because your priority has always been ‘regime security’ rather than food security? Why do you deny there is hunger and malnutrition in Eritrea? Why don’t you allow humanitarian organisations to help Eritreans when they needed it?

–  The existing regional, continental and international scenarios;

Why do you jump to international scenarios before even digesting the national scenarios? How many months do you have before you are paraded on the streets of Asmara like your close friend Gaddafi? aren’t you even ashamed of talking to the new leader of Libya in front of the Eritrean people, who only (according to your wish) know that ‘Brother Gaddafi’ is still in power? By the way, have you been to Adi Ya’kob and Barka to ask your superstitious old friends to help you predict your near future?

These are just a few questions around the issues the PFDJ itself wanted to focus on. Many, fur more relevant and important issues, such as human rights abuses; lack of democracy and justice: repression of the press and religions, discarding of the Eritrean constitution, suppression of the private sector and monopoly of the entire economy…; Isaias’s betrayal of his own ministers and generals who admitted failure and demanded democratic change; wastage of the Eritrean independence that was achieved with huge sacrifices; the collective dehumanisation of the Eritrean society, especially the youth; the total isolation of Eritrea in the entire region and internationally… are obviously buried deliberately. The list of denials is endless.

If Eri-TV shows some sign to accept the offer we already made, we have handy questions in store, and will deliver them soon with further discount.  

Please be generous to add some more questions; poor PFDJ and co, they are out of touch and in total denial of the Eritrean reality.
