Maximize focus during the upcoming Independence Day Festivals internationally
by Fetsum Abraham
Stadium for guaila: As usual, the soccer stadium in Asmara will be colorful during the Independence Day with the expired Communistic style uniformed kids dancing on guaila and the president and his slaves watching from the podium. The stadium that once produced few of the best African soccer players had been deserted by three consecutive national soccer team defections in favor of dancing teenagers indoctrinated to warship Afwerki. With so many challenges and problems on the ground, Afwerki will deliver his monotonous speech of denial that has not change in substance since the Badme war. The poor uneducated kids will then be herded to SAWA in rout to their refugee life leaving behind a broken society with irreparable family destruction.
The current situation of our people inside Eritrea is not only sad but also dangerous for generations to come. We will need a cultural revolution to revive the society’s disparaged moral integrity in the last 20 years by the regime. Our urban population comprising the old, fathers and mothers, and children is economically and psychologically hurt. This hard beaten member of the society cannot fight back even with a gun at hand; it cannot do anything against the regime in its current situation.
The Warsai generation has been a victim of IGNORANCE and EXODUS. It is not educated and is also a victim of double dislodgment. SAWA serves as the first step of its dislodgment from the towns and cities and then follows the eventual refugee life by deliberate government policy. In other words, it was first disconnected from its family and then conditioned to run away and disappear. This group is intentionally driven out of the country after rendered ignorant and yet being used as source of income through illegal smugglers stationed in Eritrea and beyond. Take maximum advantage of this youth in the process of pushing it away forever (squeezing their families abroad as much as possible) and then condition it to indefinitely pay 2% tax from outside and support its loved ones at home in foreign currency that will end in the hands of the regime. This is intentionally making the society and the country dependent on the Diaspora forever. The peasant then fills the void and the regime stays without any challenge inside Eritrea; says the country’s demonic national policy. Eritrea has become a prison to its citizens in the country and impossible for the Diaspora to return and settle.
The government has indeed succeeded in all this but could not help peripherally suffering the consequence of its actions. Here are cases in point.
The Eritrean government is stretched to the limit with challenges all over the place. The excuses to stay in power are vanishing faster than the regime’s capacity to fabricate another fake excuse for survival, leaving it confused about what to do next. The best excuses of deception (Weyane and US) have at least been disqualified in the recent development of the region.
Everybody knows that there is no more Weyane in the political picture of the region. The Weyanes have nothing to do with the recent Ethiopian proposed dialogue that the regime must respond one way or another and better the sooner. “Addis Ababa — The Ethiopian government on Monday has reiterated its readiness to hold peace talks with Eritrea to resolve their decades-long border dispute. Ethiopian Minister of foreign Affairs Tedros Adhanom said his country is ready to sit down for direct negotiations with Eritrea without any preconditions regarding to level, time or venue.”
It is clear by now that the Ethiopians are ready to give back Badme and Afwerki does not want to see it in Eritrea for this will open the door for other pending issues to come out on the open. The question is how long the regime will continue to ignore any initiative that would bring Badme home and how much more of this the Eritreans will take without action.
Then comes the US excuse that the Obama administration handled very well. There was nothing to say to challenge Afwerki’s nonsense; thus cold shoulder (ignoring) was the answer. What can the US do beyond recognizing the Eritrean sovereignty including its ownership of Badme? Eritrea denied an entry VISA to Mr. Carson (America’s top diplomat on East African issues) and the US moved on. There is now a rumor that Eritrea will allow a US Ambassador in Asmara. The question is why now if the US was an enemy? The answer is because it has no choice and it could not continue without. Humiliation was the language Afwerki understood during the Badme war and cold shoulder was American reaction to nullify his craving for attention and to normalize relationship with. By accepting a US Ambassador in Asmara, Afwerki conditions himself to shut-up for the rest of his political life about anything that may concern the Americans.
To make it difficult for him, “On World Press Freedom Day, Reporters Without Borders declared 39 leaders, groups named as Predators of Freedom of Information in 2013”: The champion of them all being Isaias Afwerki of Eritrea. What do you do when some prisoners in this category have died in custody, others lost without trace and the world keeps on asking for answer? You do not want to be in this situation.
Another upper cut comes from the best search engine, the GOOGLE. “Life in authoritarian states is likely to get tougher before it gets better as their citizens gain more access to the Internet, Google’s executive chairman Eric Schmidt said. “But their governments are not like our governments… In that context, (autocratic) governments are going to work really, really hard to stop this, because the way to really get a dictator going is to threaten his authority. They’re going to do things like restrict speech and restrict assembly — but they are going to find it impossible to do as comprehensively as they can. This “mobile revolution” will become “the defining story” for the 57 percent of the world’s population that lives in autocratic countries over the next five to 10 years, he predicted.” And while he once thought North Korea to be “the absolutely worst place” on Earth, Schmidt extended that dubious honor to Eritrea, scene of an apparent coup in January that went largely unreported for weeks.” Poor Afwerki of course cannot do better than being the worst president in silencing the people; neither can he avoid the cyber-heat from all of us in his confinement in Asmara.
It was a terrible season for the dictator considering how many things happened in the last few weeks alone. ”April 29, 2013 (KHARTOUM) – The United Nations special rapporteur on the human rights situation in Eritrea, Sheila B. Keetharuth, is due to begin an official visit to Ethiopia and Djibouti on Tuesday to collect first-hand information from Eritrean refugees on the situation inside their country. The visit comes as the government of the reclusive Red Sea nation blocked her from entering the country.
“Due to lack of access to Eritrea, I will engage with all others concerned by human rights in Eritrea, including those who consider themselves to be victims of alleged human rights violations, human rights defenders and other civil society actors,” Keetharuth said in a statement issued by The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). “I will gather first-hand information from Eritrean refugees who have fled to neighboring countries,” she said, adding that her investigations will be strictly limited to the situation inside Eritrea. Authorities in both Ethiopia and Djibouti have agreed to provide access to Eritrean refugee populations residing within their borders for the purposes of Keetharuth’s 10-day fact-finding mission.” Simply speaking, every organization is after him like the Police having a neighborhood on surveillance to put a thief in custody.

Eritrea’s lost opportunities because of Afwerki

In the mean time, Afwerki’s economic sabotage continues full-fledged ahead. “..the world’s most populous landlocked country, Ethiopia, home to a fast-growing economy that needs access to the sea. Most of the food, oil and consumer goods imported for Ethiopia’s 83m-plus people passes through Djibouti. Instability in Ethiopia’s eastern neighbour, Somalia, and bad blood with Ethiopia’s other old enemy, Eritrea, mean that Djibouti is the only main transit option. Hence a new railway line to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital, is being built. At the same time, freighters chugging between Europe and Asia have been seeking an alternative to their traditional halfway stop in Dubai, which involves a detour into the Gulf. Djibouti is more directly en route. In 2009 it spent $400m on a state-of-the-art container terminal, the only one in the region. In the five previous years, trade volume had already doubled and is set to do so again. To expand still more, Djibouti’s port authority is close to securing $4.4 billion from abroad for another five terminals which, it is hoped, will be ready in the next four years.” This was easy cash on the pocket for Eritreans.
DESPERATION
Contradictory Afwerki is trying his best to deal with the Ethiopians on using Assab through a third party (Quatar). He will sign anything in this account in order to benefit from our port the hard way while pretending to “ not doing it with Ethiopians”. To the naïve this act is consistent with his refusal to deal with the Ethiopians because of Badme. To the curious observer, however, this move tells the opposite: that he is dealing with Ethiopians indirectly on Assab without Badme; meaning that he is contemplating to indirectly normalize the relationship with the Ethiopians while Badme is still under their control. What the Ethiopians want is access to the sea and the reason he denied them their right for this long was because of “Badme”, which now it is taking another direction against his own policy.
In the mean time, he is asking for trouble with our neighbor on issues that do not concern Eritrea. “ADDIS ABABA: Anger is fomenting in Ethiopia following last month’s statements from the Eritrean government over who has a right to Nile River water, which has become a contentious issue in recent years between Ethiopia and Egypt, who claims the lion’s share of water from the world’s largest waterway. The Eritrean government said in April that it supported Egypt’s position over a controversial colonial-era treaty that grants Egypt a right a majority of the Nile’s water resources.”
Clearly, this is none of Eritrea’s business and the act should further antagonize the Afwerki regime with all East African communities affected by the issue. He is doing all this to provoke war between Eritrea and Ethiopia in the midst of Ethiopia’s recent request for dialogue. Nothing can better clarify the desperate and confused mind of the president
than this.
With all these problems simultaneously coming against him, I believe we can deliver our punch effectively if we concentrate on few things in the coming few weeks ahead. What can the Diaspora accomplish for the resistance during the Independence Day festivals worldwide?
a)     Full pressure against the mining industries in our country internationally
b)    Unanimous demand for a united front to all opposition forces including the youth by making it clear that the immediate priority is to form a TRANSITIONAL GOVERNMENT, not A FULLFLEDGED GOVERNMEN T.
c)     Unanimous pressure against the forces to initiate intellectual debates everywhere FOCUSED ON FORMING A TRANSISTIONAL GOVERNMENT
d)    Unanimous pressure against the silent Eritrean intellectuals in Diaspora to actively involve in the struggle for freedom and democracy and to take the responsibility of managing the diplomatic efforts of the resistance in professionally organized groups.
e)     Pressurize the websites to collectively push this effort without competition.
f)     Pressurize the international community to continue the SANCTION

  • Zola May 8, 2013

    Very well articulated article, of course, as usual. Thank you for that, sir.

    On a single of interest to my country, Ethiopia, some reflection is in order- about Badme. In your writing, you opined that Ethiopia is ready to hand Badme over and Isayas don’t want this happening. I suspect while the second prong of the assertion is tenable, regarding Ethiopia’s readiness to trade Badme, I really doubt it. Here is why:

    As you know, the Commission’s decision awarded some places that Ethiopia has been administering –prior to the war-to Eritrea and vise versa. This simply tells us that Ethiopia’s resistance to honour the decision, as it stands, goes far from Badme being useful than the other areas that we lost or unduly gained, as per the decision. Badme is an emblem of the conflict, the first name reported as ‘occupied’ on the media, boldly singled out as if the entire 2 years war was all about it. Here in Ethiopia we believe that the bloody war was invoked by Eritrea for selfish and sinister reasons. So, Badme incarnates injustice, blood, destruction and at the end heroism as we secured it, at least physically. Needless to say, we in Ethiopia, I can say fully, know and believe that before the decision, Badme belonged to Ethiopia. As such, in the mind of the people, Badme is a town, which was unduly invaded and demanded dear lives to come back. So, loosing Badme, again, tantamount to loosing it all, for us.

    This feeling is stronger in the public much more than the government and is one of the few issues, where you can find consensus in Ethiopia. To me therefore, whatever legal issues there may be involved or what prudence might dictate I believe this time the government in Ethiopia cannot just afford to play with Badme, of course for its own sake. This is so despite the fact that the government we have is not known for listening to its people on many issues. Couple of things to add. Remember we are talking about international law, with no really enforcement mechanism and, where diplomacy plays the real game. Besides, the tendency to believe that we won the battle (on the field) and that we are doing relatively okay without Eritrea gives the government a better bargaining power. Lastly, psychological war with Isayas is also an issue. Even in an ensuing dialogue, it is believed that Isayas will insist in getting Badme, more than anything, as much as Ethiopia will. For what we know, Eritrea has no the support of truth and justice beside her, as far as Badme is concerned and hence insistence on Badme would clearly show that even with Badme parting lasting peace is not forthcoming. So, the solution is to deny beforehand. I believe justice goes beyond a court decision, which clearly is in your side. Lasting peace and mutual trust, among other things, will require a pre-May 1998 settlement. Short of that I don’t think your assumption is correct, nor should it be. Thank you

      • Zeray May 8, 2013

        A.A.Yassin

        You said, “anta Hawna ab Hangol Woyane diKa tQmeT” and then you continued to say, “FITSUM ABRAHAM thinks that he is more Woyane than Bereket Simon.”. Anta Hawna ab Hangol Fitsum diKa TQmet?

        Yassin, Fitsum is expressing his opinions and I seem to agree with a lot of what he writes, and believe me if you know something worth telling or you want to contradict him please do it with facts and logic. But disrespectful comments and labeling an individual is only speaking volumes about yourself and not the other person.

        If used constructively the internet can be an excellent tool for information and idea sharing. But if you are going to be defensive about things that you don’t agree with and start tit-for-tat you only end up hurting yourself emotionally. Let’s be civil in our communication.

        • A.A Yassin May 8, 2013

          Zeray,

          Visit MESKEREM.NET to hear for yourself what Bereket Simon is saying about the border. Then read below what brother Fistum Abraham has written on the same subject.

          “It is clear by now that the Ethiopians are ready to give back Badme and Afwerki does not want to see it in Eritrea for this will open the door for other pending issues to come out on the open.”

          Make your conclusion and tell me who is being disrespectful.

          • MightyEmbasoyra May 8, 2013

            Meskerem.net? I am not sure what to call that website, except hatemonger’s website. And he claims an opposition’s website. Yeah right.

          • A.A Yassin May 8, 2013

            The topic is Bereket Simon and what he said about the border.

          • Genet May 9, 2013

            Again. MESKEREM.NET IS A PFDJ’S OPERATIVES WEBSITE. IT IS A SET UP TO CONFUSE AND MISLEAD OUR PEOPLE. ONCE I STUMBLED TO THIS SO COLLED OPPOSITION SITE. AND MY POSTING (ALL GOOD QUESTIONS) WERE DELEATED RIGHT AFTER I WRITE THEM. OR THE POSITING WERE SET UP AS IF YOU CLIK ON IT, IT WILL TAKE YOU TO OFFICAL PFDJ SITE. IT IS FUNNY FOR THIS WEBSITE TO SAY THAT IT IS AN OPPOSITION SITE.

            Genet,

            ” MESKEREM.NET IS A PFDJ’S OPERATIVES WEBSITE. ”

            Why do you think so? Is anyone who loves his country ” a PFDJ OPERATIVE ” ?

          • A.A Yassin May 9, 2013

            Mighty,

            It appears that you have a strange understanding of opposition.No, MESKEREM is not Hawasa.

  • kemal,Ali May 8, 2013

    Thank you Mr. Fitsum for the articulated and classical educational materials you are posting as usual brother. I personally believe and witness barely like many. Cos what you are doing so far really start to produce some fruits, which many of us start to use it as reference for discussions and debates. So I just want to remind you brother that you already become one of the few visionary citizen and many still need expecting more aspirations.

  • Genet May 8, 2013

    Zola
    In the past you expressed grievances about a presumed Eritrean hatred toward Tigran. You said,”What did we do to deserve…” Do you have any idea how much hatred is coming from any ordinary Ethiopian toward Eritrean. One main issue I see is a routine culture war against Eritrean. Now you are contradicting yourself about Badme. You said, “We in Ethiopia, I can fully know and believe that…Badme belonged to Ethiopia” Then you said, “We are doing relatively okay without Eritrea gives the GOV a better bargaining power” If you truly believe that Badme belong to Ethiopia, you don’t bargain with it, you defend it.

    We Eritrean know that Badme belong to Eritrea. NO IF, NO BUT. We Eritrea lost the brights and braves Eritrean for our independent(all of Eritrea not part of Eritrea). Our people suffered a great deal of misery under Ethiopian including Tigran. Just check what happened to Eritrean under the communist Derg. I agree with your point, the Badme case has been used as a bargaining tool to get access to the red sea. It is not that complected what you are doing here. One just need to pay attention, to the words that you are using.. “bargaining power”, “doing okay without Eritrea” I don’t think any Eritrean wants to see Ethiopian suffer in any way; we just want what is rightfully ours.

    Mr Fetsum’s article, I will say is 99.9% about us Eritrean and our independent day. You should restraint yourself from commenting on Eritrean issues. It is because the undeniable Eritrean confident that you are allowed to participate. Do you know what happen if I go to Tigran form? I would be blocked on the first entry of my disrespectful opinion.

    FYI, I don’t expect your response. I just want you to stay off. It is a very sensitive time for us.
    Genet

    • A.A Yassin May 8, 2013

      Genet,

      Thanks!!

      • Zola May 9, 2013

        Genet,
        First, I only commented on an issue that also concerns us.
        Second, you are free to think that Badme belongs to Eritrea, as much as I believe it is an Ethiopian land. As you correctly argued, if it’s your land, you defend it. That’s what we did actually.
        Then, I don’t think my comment is disrespectful.
        Also the misery that we, including suffered under the Derge is unfortunate. Though a victim myself, I share the blame as an Ethiopian. Whereas as a Tigrian, I don’t understand why you guys blame us.
        Lastly, and most importantly, I believe there is no contradiction in my argument. The bottom line is: truth and time is with us not to bargain Badme, which is rightfully ours despite the wrongful Commission decision. Peace can only come if both parties are willing to pay proportional prices and in such a way that it will sustain. This said, I sincerely wish you well and wish you happy independence Day to you all!
        Zola

        • A.A Yassin May 9, 2013

          You are acting like a barbarian.

          • ahmed saleh May 10, 2013

            Truth to be told , for those who fantasize with Badme after 1977 events , I advise you to search
            it’s history before 1980 . When ELF was busy defending the liberated cities and strategic zones
            WEYANE tried to take over Badme by force then ELF forces wiped them out by force . I remember
            at that time the reaction of EPLF leadership was ” AMA ASFAHFAHIT ” an insult to those innocent
            tegadelti who sacrificed in that conflict . Well after their coordinated efforts to defeat ELF
            from Eritrean land , ISSAYAS reward them BADME and it had been under their control since then .
            Many of those habitants hail from Anseba region and what happened to them history will tell but
            I know some of the families fled to Sudan . Therefore , we can say Badme hold temporary Ethiopian
            identity but it’s origin is an Eritrean by birth .

    I say Amen to that ,so that we can have clean..transparent relations with our sister country Ethiopia.The main objective being the Eritrean mothers & youth to live in normalcy.

    Thank you

  • Genet May 8, 2013

    Mr Fetsum
    Again, thank you for the timely article. I always learn something from your article.
    You did excellent work listing the A-F points/message ways to have our voice heard in the up coming our independent day.
    Sadly, most of our people are dreading the day of our independent. For quite some times now, our independent day has been used by PFDJ operatives as money making scheme. We need to use this important day to make a different and bring Justice and freedom for our people.

    Reg. our port issue, I am actually sad and depressed by Mr Afewerki’s action to lease the port to a 3rd party and to be used by Ethiopia. We Eritrean have not being given the chance to say one way or anther. Now, my concern is that Mr Afewerki probably didn’t know how to negotiate about the right for Eritrean to participate in the process of building our port. I am not talking about the low skill service jobs. I am talking about jobs that are high paying, high-tech jobs. We have many educated Eritrean who are highly educated all over the world. Are they going to be given a chance to participate? Is any one knows about this issue?
    Genet

    • A.A Yassin May 8, 2013

      “I am talking about jobs that are high paying, high-tech jobs. ”

      If you have a good business plan the Eritrean government is always prepared to help you.

      • Genet May 9, 2013

        Can the Eritrean GOV. implement the Constitution, so we Eritrean can live in a normal life? GOD knows the Eritrean people are law abiding good people. What did we do so terrible that we are denied to have a rule of law? Yassin, You are a supporter of the PFDJ system and its action. Why is this system set up to deny us a right as people? What is that Mr Afewerki wants from us so badly that he is destroying our future? You know that Eritrean people are strong, hardworking with tenacious can do attitude. How do you tell us that our port Assab is given away for lease, GOD knows for how long? Because of one man’s decision, We Eritrean have to stand on the side and watch the fruit of our suffering, being enjoyed by foreigners who never lifted, a finger during our struggle. HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS TO THE FUTURE GENERATION?
        Genet

    • fetsum abraham May 9, 2013

      Dear Geni;
      There is no participation in absolute dictatorship and do not expect that from them. We will not even get an explanation from a regime where everything is decided in a very tight environment completely dictated by one man, of course we dont know what is happening because of absolute censorship of information. We are just speculating my dear, what else can we do. They just dont care about anything except their power at this point where everything is too late to revers. tnx

      • Genet May 9, 2013

        Mr Fetsum
        Thanks.
        I feel it that six months to one year down the road, We will see our people being limited to the dead end low skill jobs. While forghners (Indians, Koreans, Chinese even Ethiopian) are going to be given the upper hands; the high paying, high-thech jobs. To EVERY ERITREAN, INCLUDING THE PFDJ OPERATIVES AND SUPPORTERS, IS THIS ACCEPTABLE TO US? THE VERY THING OUR MARTYERS DIED FOR IS FOR US TO BENEFIT FROM THEIR CONTRIBUTION. IT IS NOT FOR ONE MAN TO MAKE DECISIONS WILLY NILLY.

          Geni;
          Their policy is to eradicate all Eritreans that can read and write and u can clearly see it from the exodus of the SAWA community (urbanized) and its replacement by the peasantry. The army is changing fast to a peasant army by policy. Therefore, foreigners will benefit from such things and never us at all. U can forget the educated completely. We should then work harder to change the situation. Tnx

            Mr Fetsum
            I think you are right, on the policy of the PFDJ system and Mr Afewerkis scheme, to change the real Eritrean army to a peasant army. In reality, peasant army is not a professional army who can challenge PFDJ leaders. After our independent day, many, many Eritrean from the struggle wanted to say in the army, but they were let go against their will. Some of them actually had hope to be trained as a professional army to serve their country in a civil society. Every body remember the amount of Nkfa was given to our former freedom fighters to leave the army for good. How did we miss that clue? OH, Yes, we were dancing on the street of Eritrean cities and towns as well as around the world.

            DEAR AA;

  • TOGETHER May 8, 2013

    Good point Genet with respect to people’s participation on issues as important as the ports issues and others; however, asking for it has not worked for the last twenty years. We have to find ways to demanding it effectively.

    • Genet May 9, 2013

      Together
      I agree with your point that we have to demanding it effectively. We have to start with our own peopel to see the facts and the damages has been inflicted on our people and our future. I think the “Asab” port issue is a pefect fact that shows Mr Afewerki and the PFDJ systme leaders are wrong for our people. You don’t just lease as important as a port with out explanation to the people you claim to lead. It is a disrespectful act. Again, Mr Afewerki would not do this if he didn’t have blind supporters. I just want the Eritran people to wake up and see what is happing to them and their futuer.
      Genet

      • A.A Yassin May 9, 2013

        We do not know anything about the veracity of the Assab story. However I do appreciate your stance which reminds me of a real oppostion.

        • Genet May 9, 2013

          A.A Yassin
          “We do not know anything about the veracity of the Assab story” Exactly my point.

          Why is that the PFDJ leaders are so disrespectiful of the Eritrean people? WHY ARE THEY NOT AFRAID OF THE ERITREAN PEOPLE? WHY ARE THEY TAKING US FOR GRANTED? THIS IS NOT HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTED SO MUCH. Assab is not their own personal property. THE ERITREAN PEOPLE ARE NOT VULNERABLE ADULT, WHO NEEDS SOME ONE TO MAKE DECISION FOR THEM, WITHOUT THEIR CONCENT. THE ERITREAN PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPORTING THE PFDJ SYSTEM ARE KILLING THEIR OWN PEOPLE SLOWLY.

          YASSIN, YOU CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION, DO YOU THINK IT IS RIGHT FOR AN INDIVIDUAL LIKE MR AFEWERKI TO SACRIFICE OUR FUTURE FOR HIS OWN POWER ASPIRATION? NOW IT IS CLEAR WERE WE ARE HEADING. OUR PORT, THE ASSAB ISSUE IS JUST THE BEGINNING. I CAN’T BELIEVE ALL ERITREAN ARE NOT OUTRAGE ABOUT ASSAB. WHAT IS NEXT FOR US?

          PLEASE YASSIN, DON’T SAY THE DREADED STATEMENT “BUT HE, PIA FOUGHT IN OUR STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM” THERE ARE ERITREAN PEOPLE who NEVER CAME HOME. THERE FOR, IT IS NOT A MANDATE TO DO WHAT IS BEING DONE TO OUR PORT ASSAB.
