Rhuba is from Eritrea, a small, impoverished East African nation led by a man the American ambassador called an “unhinged dictator,” who was described as “cruel and defiant” in classified cables made public by Wikileaks.

In 2006, 1,348 Eritreans who fled their government crossed the border from Egypt’s Sinai into Israel. By 2011, that number had grown to 17,175, with nearly a thousand crossing the Sinai to Israel every month, according to the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Israeli government. Today, there are roughly 35,895 Eritreans living in Israel, as well as 15,210 Sudanese. Since 2006, some 60,000 African refugees from these countries and others have come to Israel in this way.

      You, ignorant Eritrean! First you don’t seem to understand how cruel politics can be, especially the existing twisted and conspired Eritrean real politics. second we Eritreans are ignorant enough to understand our ignorance. Fact is, we didn’t know what we are/were doing. The ship can not find the way to the target, as we had no clearly defined target. At last the ship sinks or land in the Nevada/NOWHERE. This means both are tragic ends. NO TARGET NO WAY !!

    So what happen to her eyes and her face who beat her ?eritreans get beaten where ever they go thats sad to my people been himulated and degraded , and we say that we have a government,i think firs of all eritreans need to understand what is mean to have a govenmet or a word governmet mean ,before they can expect what their government can do for them and viceversa,for me govenmet is who govern upon his people and the land for the benefit of its ncitizen no only for few induviduals ,and govenment is the people not only one man rull thats dictatorship, in eritrea the word government has been misuse ,unless our people understad what government mean they will always be a victim of individuals who claim to be government,self made government

    With all the racism Eritrean refugees in Israel face, still the Eritrean refugees testify that Israel is far better than the slavery, organ harvest, rape, deportation, shoot-to-kill, racism and the cold murder they face in Arab nations such as Libya, Yemen and Egypt.
    The evil crime that we saw recently on the young boy Merih who was kidnapped by Arab Rashaydas and sold to Arab Bedouins in Egypt Sinai with many other Eritreans is only the tip of an iceberg of the genocide that is taking place in Egypt against Eritreans. Hundreds of Eritreans and many Africans have perished and many others were deported and many are still languishing in Arab jails. Besides, thousands of Eritreans had perished without any chance to tell their story.

    The issue is that why are many Arab regimes in Egypt, Libya and Sudan silent about this African genocide? Why are the Egyptian media and political elites silent in addressing this crime taking place in their own sovereign territory under their stinking noses? Given the history of negligence of the Arab public to the crimes that took place in Darfur, Libya and South Sudan against millions of black Africans, there is little expectation the Arab world will care about Eritreans. So, what should Eritreans do? How should Eritreans in the opposition address these crimes? What is the next step, beside the ongoing fight against Hgdef?

    The most surprising about these crimes against innocent Eritreans is that it was only two weeks ago that the Egyptian politicians were mentioning Eritrea in their consultation with their president on the issue of the Nile dam in Ethiopia. The Egyptians are not ashamed to use Eritreans against Ethiopia but they do not care about the slavery of Eritreans, deportation and jailing of Eritreans in Egypt.

    The Arab politicians are saying this while they are raping and enslaving Eritreans in Egypt and jailing hundreds of Eritrean refugees in Egyptian jails.
    A bastard Arab can not give me any orders as they had done long ago to destabilize the horn of Africa.

    Hazhaz, kabbire
    The Rashaidas and Badawins are just criminals like the mafia regime of Eritrea. There are EEritreans, Ethiopians,Israelis,and other nationalities collaborating with them on collecting the ransom money and and harvesting the human organs

    • Yakob June 21, 2013

      Eritreans are not fools. The victims have been telling us who are evil and and who are kind? They know who is posting and exposing the crimonals and which web sites are silent and coward? Which radio stations are exposing the criminals in Sudan and Egypt and which are silent?
      Eritreans know the kindsness of the brave Assenna, Amanuel, Dr Alganesh, Meron, Aba Mussie, Elsa Chyrum and who are the cowards and silent.
      Eritreans know everything.

      • ahmed saleh June 22, 2013

        Nahom and Yakob
        You said it all as it clearly based on facts rather not for stupid political entertainment as some cowards .
        Let those poor victims talk based on their own first hand experience .

      • MightyEmbasoyra June 22, 2013

        Yakob,
        To answer your last question ” who are the cowards and silent.” – it us, you, me and alike – millions of us. I hate saying it but it is the unfortunate truth.

    Well said yakob,
    There are many groups, websites and organizations that are silent to the genocide of Eritreans in the Arab world such as Sudan, Yemen, Libya and Egypt.
    My question is that why are these heinous and evil crimes taking place against innocent Eritreans mainly in the Arab world but not in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan or Israel?
    Why are these crimes taking place only in the Arab world in this large scale against Eritreans and other Africans?
