Mr Obama does not want invite Eritrea but Russia did so who really give a dumn whether Eritrea gets invited or not. USA was never our friend anyway so wants new, nothing really let’s forget it

EYENSN,

Eyensn: You said that the US was never a friend of Eritrea. Right there you are mistaken and go back to check facts from the history books. Please, stop repeating by echoing what the regime in Eritrea tells you. Now, Russia wants to have influence in Eritrea. Arms sale and the fishing activities in the Red Sea is what interests them. The environmental degradation of the Red Sea’s sensitive Coastal water due to such traffic impacting the eco-system must be Eritrea’s big concern.
It is evident, the regime has hidden agenda’s for this new relationship between Russia and Eritrea. As we delay and lag behind with our struggle for a democratic and free Eritrea the regime won’t be seating idle. Instead, it explores avenues with which the opposition movements are frustrated to the point of giving up. It is a deliberate move when Russia comes to the picture.

Luna,
Please disregard the low lifes like Eyensn. This individual knows how to repeat like a parot. The Eritrean people will not forget what the Russians have done during the struggle time. Didn’t we have proof that senior Russians were captured during the struggle? DIA is known to brake relations — the goes somewhere — then comes back to beg. What else is new?
Remember 1994 – 1995 when he wanted to declare war with sudan? Remember when he was saying “DO not play with fire” .. then he went back to befreinded with them. Remember when he went to war with Yemen? Then he started calling the our friend. Do you know that he talks to much garbage about US, but then he buys lobbiests and he kept getting rejected.
He is trying to befriended with Russia. God forbid if he stays in power longer, we will see him picking a fight with them and he will go back begging.
Eyensn: get a life you bustard. If you fee that good about DIA, go to Sawa.

Good point. It is better to be friends with the People one leads, then the immidiate neighbours etc etc. If ethiopia choose or is choosen by the usa and Eritrea by russia then back to square one. More killings, starvation, etc. To all Our surpirse this kind of tragedy comes as the last Choice.
By the way while russia was helping mengistu russia was number one country in accepting eritrean studnets as NOT ETHIOPIAN students, even the one who got scholarship from derg. Going shcolarship to russia is just like military service at that time. My unckle said ‘military service and russian scholarship is the same. one day you had to do it.’ The ethiopians who felt betraid by russians diplomats asked why russians issue for poeple who in the first Place came to russia by ethiopian Passport. The answer was very simple and to the point: ‘Russia can not choose one Group of People over the other as long as both are communists’. Now it can be translated like this. As long as russia get its Money for the weapons it is selling NO PROBLEMO some low life niggers like eri-ethio wiped one another. They can use the Money to build Schools and hospitals in russia.
Michael mebrahtu February 24, 2014
You have to have a constitution to be consider as government and invited as country. Your president is dictator/killer, shame on you your statement shows you are not qualified
Zufana February 23, 2014
Eritrea should open its door to the benefits of regional
development integration. It’s by far cost-effective and also
beneficial. That is the “international cooperation framework”.
EYENSN February 23, 2014
Not to agame
Lilay February 23, 2014
EYENSN
The hybrid eritrean like you that is (Tygray + Eritrea) use the Word AGAME so this Word belongs to you and othere like you.
ahmed omer February 24, 2014
Shabia’s supporters repeating agame and Weyane a lot look all these indicate that you are idiot racist that why you are damaging Eritrea and it’s people Weyane are going a head and you and your regime are barking like dogs and you do not know your value .
Jose February 25, 2014
Man, We Agames are far gone. Keep on saying the word “Agame” and selling human organs in Sinai while we do all the development work with our Neighbors. People from as far as Yemen and Uganda are doing their homework to integrate with us and you “the CURSE people” are stabbing us from very close.
I hope the Bedewins fry you all!!!!
Semhar February 23, 2014
Thanks to president Obama for not welcoming the mad dog from Eritrea. The US knows that
Eritrea is a place where incarceration without due process, torture, disappearances, summery execution, slavery and rape has become the order of the day. As if the NEVER ENDING Slavery and Rape is not enough, the brutal dictator implemented “shoot to kill policy” against its own citizens that flee repression. Thousand have been shot at the border area.
Semhar February 23, 2014
Zufan,
Eritrea is a place where incarceration without due process, torture, disappearances, summery execution, slavery and rape has become the order of the day.
We must liberate our land and our people from the tyrant Isayas and his blind followers HIGDEF!We must get reed the tyrant Isayas and his blind followers HIGDEF.
Yerhiwo February 23, 2014
Wedi Berad’s, Monkey’s and Kisha’s Eritrea is a failed state! A country with no constitution, no parliament, no elected president, no rule of law and a country where rape, torture, arbitrary detention, arrest with out charge, shoot-to-kill policy, a military rule the high school colleges etc. is adapted as if it is the best!
Wake up Eritreans….do what Ukranian people doing to get our freedom back!
tef February 24, 2014
This kind advise need Ethiopians not Eritreans.
Eritreawit February 23, 2014
HEELO, UNTIL WE GETRID OFF THE STOOGES RULING OUR COUNTRY, OUR COUNTRY WILL BE ISOLETED GOING BACKWARDS.
LET DO OUR HOME WORK PEOPLE!. PFDJ LEADERS AND THIRE SUPPORTS DON’T CARE IF OUR ERITREA IS ISOLETED THEY ARE
DONING IT ON PURPOSE. LET FIGHT THEM; LET US FREE OUR COUNTRY FOR THE MARTYRS SAKE.
luna February 23, 2014
Look what has just happened in Ukraine, an abandoned presidential palace is a powerful symbol for protesters. President Yanukovych’s where about is not known for now. Dictators have very short memories and never suspect what had happened to other dictators will happen to them as well.
selamawit2 February 24, 2014
luna, you are very right!
President Yanukovyc was not Ukraine (as we can see) and pdfj is not Eritrea (as we all know).
the pdfj regime that is suspended from the summit – not the people of Eritrea.
Please brothers and sisters, let’s collect creative ideas, how we can show the world more than ever, that the regime is not representing us, the eritrean people.
AND that we should be invited to the summit – represented e.g. by Wedi Vaccaro!
Concerned Eritrawi February 25, 2014
Yes,
I agree with you, we need to let the whole world that Eritrean and Eritreans are not evil, it is the samall group of people that are and their action un-Eritrean. The Eritrean people should not be responsible for their misdeed and crimes. We should work along with our neighbors and build mutual releationship with others as well
Abraha Measho February 23, 2014
I hope this is a good lesson for the supporters of the Isaias regime. My beloved country has been thrown away from every international avenue. Isaias switches side to Russia when more than 65 thousand Eritrean lives killed by Russian tanks and bombs. This shows Isaias has/had never had a tiny moral value. “Forget the martyrs kill new ones policy” What a shame!
Bloko February 23, 2014
When Ethiopia and Egypt go to war, who do we support? Neutral? Yeah right! Neutral does not exist in PFDJ dictionary.
abe February 24, 2014
If Egypt chooses to have another humiliation,the state of Eritrea will ceased to exist.
EYENSN February 24, 2014
Bloko
Off course we will support our brother Egypt , I hope they go to war so we can see the new Ethiopia after the war. Don’t take it the wrong way, I don’t hate Ethiopia or Ethiopian people but I want this agame people to go back where they were 23 years ago. Eritrean people will never sleep til the day woyane is gone for ever then we can work with Ethiopian people not with agame
selamawit2 February 24, 2014
EYENSIN, that won’t save you from being charged for your criminal labor!
to escape this you (including the other 20 – 70 core-members of the iseyas gang) can go to any war you want and never come again. don’t worry about us – nobody will cry for you!
and the rest of us (about 5 millions people) will live peacefully with our nearest neighbor Ethiopia like Austria and Germany do!
Zufana February 24, 2014
EYENSN
Why don’t you go and kiss Egyptian asses! Don’t also claim to be a friend of Ethiopia.
Tigreans(agame) are the one giving the Eritrean refugees a chance to go to Universities,
not the Amharas or the Oromos. You are very small and you will die small too.
abe February 24, 2014
Does any one in his right mind think the great nation USA will have a sleepless night because a bankrupt pseudo nation Eritrea said this or does that.A GDP of one mid sized co.Perhaps still suffering from a little man Syndrome? I will tell you Eritrean equals and that’s what you should compare with countries such us,Nauru,Tuvalu,Solomon Island,San Marino,Liechtenstein,Marshal Island ,Monaco,Vatican,Djibouti..etc
Never compare and contrast with relevant countries such us,Ethiopia,Kenya,USA,etc.
selamawit2 February 24, 2014
abe, every country and every single human being in this world is “relevant”!
please differentiate political point of views which make differences between equal creatures real value of human beings.
selamawit2 February 24, 2014
please read “differences between equal creatures FROM the real value of human beings.”
selamawit2 February 24, 2014
here is my suggestion:
Let’s write a huge amount of letters to the office of President Obama
in which we ask him to invite e.g. Wedi Vaccaro as a real representative of our people, our culture, our will.
