Who wants to come to the two Arab slaves/Abeeds of Africa: Issaias and al Beshir. Both have sold young Eritreans into the despicable Arab slave markets. Both are vile and disgusting creatures. Look the destruction they unleashed to both Eritrea and Sudan.
Mr. Obama and Ms Susan Rice made a good decision to relegate the two scabby idiots Ms. Rice once called openly “fools” in Addis Meskel Square.

If President Issaias is not invited to this important submitt, he will start a war against USA. He will do his best to win the war. Eritreans be ready for another round of war. Sawa Tigers be ready to fight against the super power.

Saho: It looks like a joke inviting Eritreans for another war. Look at the effects of the Badme war and the conflict still has remained festering as a bad wound. In the warmth of our home, it feels easy to contemplate about distant places and with very little connection to what goes on on the ground. Conflict has brought bankruptcy to us as all as a nation.

Now who they want to kill America
Concerned Eritrawi February 22, 2014
It is time that the American are paying attention to the poor Africa continent. As important as it is, Africa has been disregarded because of its weak and unorganized unity. Once it cleans its mess Africa should stand on its feet. However the leader should have respect for their citizens first and the rule of law shall prevail all over the continent and then other countries will take the continent seriously. If anyone come to Africa these days only to take advantage of its resources never for mutual respect.

isaias has allready invited its country to Russia. he may be is the worrest in leading a country but using opportunity in the difference between the international poltical, economical, strategical of which ever super Power no one can compare to him regardless how many People he sacrifices.
Russia is shwoing mussel and his right hands are already displaying what can Eritrea give for russia. Russia single handedly stopped the west from occupying Syria. They are fighting to Death not to loose Ukrine. The problem is the idiot president put the nation under boycott and it is not easy for russia to jump in.

Woo wooo Aye junta PFDJ where is the winter euphoria about Eritrea will be out of cold? What is the outcome of HGDEF zombies such as Sophia Tesfamariam flirting with x-diplomats who are paid lobbies of HGDEF. They could not even secure invitation as any other states what chance do they have to help Eritrea from isolation. None! A mad man at the helm whatever they try to achieve will destroy by another wrong move of the dictator. The only way out from international isolation to get Eritrea its right place is by eradicating HGDEF from its root. Until than Eritrea will be a laughing stock of the world and a land of miseries and it may probably freeze to death rather than out from cold. All the fact shows HGDEF won’t learn and now he is asking Russia to lent him hand on international acts. Russia could not even manage to safe its next door ally Ukrainian from turmoil. But PFDJ choose temporary without analysis its consequences. What a curse to Eritrea!
