On the occasion of Liberation/Independence Day……..What “Liberation/Independence”, for Heaven’s sake? Eritrea was never, and still not, liberated on any 24th day of May.
Should we not, instead, have A DAY OF MOURNING – solemn remembrance of our compatriots who gave their LIVES in the wilderness of nowhere; in the Seas and Oceans; in the Sahara desert; in the hands of savage, cruel Bedouin Arabs, and their indigenous facilitators — traders of human spare parts?
If the meaning of “Liberation/Independence” is to be FREE from “colonial” powers then we should celebrate the strings of days of liberations/independence from the Ottoman Empire; from the Pharos of Egypt; from the Facist Italy; from the British Administartion, from the ‘backward’ [%@#$& *+&?] Habesha Empire and, if/when it comes, from Issayas Afewerki Abraha — synonymous as saying HIGDEF/EPLF/ELF. Now, please hold your ‘horse’ and don’t gallop into tantrum mode – after all, the eating is on the pudding!
May the Good Lord have Mercy upon upon poor Eritrea and bless it with a little sanity, wisdom and far-sightedness. THE END
