I believe sanctions will hurt more to the leadership in Eritrea, than to the people at large. The reason for the movements of the GOE leadership to and fro, and the reason for announcing world-wide call to condemn the sanctions is because they know these sanctions are coming to haunt them and can see the potential of hurting them personally. They don’t care about all the religious men and women who are suffering in jail within Eritrea; they don’t count the freedom of worship they have taken away from the people. They have not given a day in court to those who are in jail, expressed themselves freely in their own country. The merchants at large who want to trade and earn their livelihood don’t count in the country, they are restricted so much they can’t even conduct normal businesses. In general the GOE leadership does not care about the people, otherwise it would have installed the constitution and let the rule of law govern the country. Therefore, sanctions came as a direct hit to the GOE and they will do everything to convince us it is all for the country. I don’t believe it. Know your real enemy. Your real enemy is the government who is ruing Eritrea by the “Iron fist”, and by “shoot to kill policy”. Now that the world is showing up to help we should welcome them. How often does this kind of help happen?

Mr/ms bee
i suggest to switch off Radio ass ena and follow what the int’l Media wrote about the efforts the govt doing to improve the living standards,to mention some,
the govt has built many schools,hospitals, clinic,infrastruction, dams,airports,as result of this its literacy has risen to 67%,reduced mortality infants 80%,malaria-75%,HIV reduced to 8%,introduced irrigation system and food security etc,and these all are concrete evidences that the govt DO CARE VERY WELL ABOUT THE PEOPLE,unlessotherwise you prove me wrong,can you?
and also if you can show me any nation which had been sanctioned and left with a good impact on its people?”weys wela teneferet Tel eya, eu negeru?”

Abdi Ibud,
You did not want to hear the truth. These achievement you speak was at it’s hightest ya Ibud….and the reason you are so proud of this is because you did not follow what was achieved in the underground factories of Eritrea during our struggle.
1. Brain surgery
2. Pharmaceutical factory self sustaining the strugle needs.
3. Bet timhirti Sewta( Bitweded now in jail is an inspiration to many of them)
4. Civilized manner and discipline of our fighters including educating our rurual Eritrea on first aid including how to protect dehydraiton(child killer when in fever and infection).
I can go on….without shifting the topi….Those that worked for this achievement and that liberated the land were set not only for this bolooney you trumpet they had set a vision by a decade to be like SINGAPORE you remember…..now it has become Warehouse for SINAIIIIIIIIgaffor desert. Ibud!! I know you are going to blame Woyane again…for this…!!
The Bee November 15, 2011
Abdi,
I appreciate your reasoning and bringing some data. You seem to be sincere and reasonable. However, I want to tell you I don’t need internet media to know what is going on with my brothers and sisters in Eritrea. I am connected with them daily and know what they are going through. If I was a foreigner you could have said I am misinformed. My knowledge goes beyond your statistics.
The conditions of those I know inside Eritrea, should influence Eritreans in Diaspora. If Eritreans inside have a right and are being treated with respect and dignity, then our foreign affairs could be said it is for the best interest of the people and for the protection of Eritreans inside. But Eritreans are oppressed and enslaved inside their own country. Because of the unbearable conditions inside, thousands of people are fleeing the country each year. Therefore, accountability should be the first order of the day, and Eritreans in Diaspora should use the democratic rights to demonstrate on behalf of the victims of the GOE; and not to protect and to ease the lives of the very people who are inflicting sufferings on Eritreans. One way to do it is support the UN as they try to sanction the very people who made Eritrea a giant jail.
Abdi November 15, 2011
The bee,
of course we are all influenced by the midea especially when it comes to Eritrea ,Im not denying that the youths are fleeing the country,away of the midea i have spoken to some newly arrived eritreans most of them confirmed that they had no problems other than the unlimited national service,and some even elaborated, after the war the national service became unlimited because of the no peace no war situation”gn kea newihu ” they added.
comparing to the problems they are facing now however,most of them regreted what they did especially those who their asylum claim has been rejected,here is the right time for the opportunists to appear from nowhere and offer some help and later convince them to join them. And believe me,they wouldn’t have joined them if their asylum was granted.
Mind you,every single word they say is documented and recorded as a concrete evidence against Eritrea(PIA)which most of the int’l Orgs rely on to blackmail the gov’t.
Moreover,no families had fled the country and if the situations you
explained are the truth inside Eritrea,why can’t we witness flood
of families fleeing the country?
The govt didint have enough budget to change everything within
20 yrs,nevertheless they achieved alot, and we should appreciate
the jobs they ‘ve done.
Always remember the more sanction the more suffer on the ppl.

there is nothing to reason with Abdid Ibud a dictator’s worshipper. First he must answer why the president of Eritrea has not protested for young men in Sinai? Why is DIA the coward not standing for his people in Egypt? If Abdi can not answer the question and ponder with us he will remain the sadist he is.
Abdi November 16, 2011
@hulul
i replied to this one but the answer was deleted,
listen you idiot hurur,to blame a gov’t for not taking care of its citizen abroad,you need first to ask if the citizens have acknowledged their embassy of their arrival or not,in our youth’s case not single person has reported to the embassy,however the embassy in Cairo has visited the detention centres and after a necessary screening the embassy offered to take them home,but i don’t know what was the outcome.
-i feel sorry for what they ended up to but we can’t blame the gov’t for not following them through,
-you can’t also ask the govt to check every hole in Sinai searching for missing blacks,because all eritreans are black but not all blacks are eritreans.

I am one of those who believes that the Eritrean people have been under some form of economic sanction, not to mention the oppressive and excessively controlling system, by the self-appointed DIA and Hgdef for the last two decades. Hgdef mercilessly lorded it over like there was no tomorrow, fearing nobody, immobilizing everybody and behaving eternal! Nowc they are fully aware that they, as they always do, got it wrong. The UN has 197? Member nations. You said yourself that our country is one of the four to receive such severe type sanctions. You have only Isayas to blame!! With his insatiable megalomanic behavior to meddle in the sub-region, inability to live in harmony with his neighbors, his craving to stay in power for ever and ferociously extinguish any dissent, he has brought upon us this ‘tragedy’. These sanctions will tie his hands and subseqduently modify his actions in the sub-region and affect his egocentric personality to a powerless one. We can then hope for change that is overdue by seeing the last of him! Inshallah!r

First thing, please make correction of your reading. The article said only 4 nations have been subjected to economic sanction, Eritrea is not one of them as yet and the intended draft resolution had fallen flat on its face as of Oct. 26. Your attempt to wriggle out of your culpability by blaming the GoE is in vain. The sadistic woyane bears the large part of the swindle to sneak this mischief but your (as in the sold out opposition in general) symbolic and regrettable part in it is also a sad eyesore in the minds of Eritrean’s. You keep hyping up the injustices you accuse the GoE of as justification for your unbecoming doubling up effort. However, that by no means excuses your desire to see Eritrean babies neatly packed in little body bags before celebrating their first year of life. The scale of evil you’ve wished your people, when you ‘prayed for sanction’ as you put it, is of malevolence of a greatest order. I hope your conscience would be of a bigger judge.
Kozami November 14, 2011

Looking at Iraq, the Security Council imposed mandatory sanctions prohibiting trade and contract relations with Iraq including restrictions on the trade of Iraq’s only source of foreign exchange, oil. Food and medical supplies were to be allowed only in “humanitarian circumstances”. As a result, thirty times more civilians died after the war from the effects of the sanctions than during the actual military conflict. Iraq, once a wealthy and successfully developing nation, was soon reduced to a country plagued with hunger, disease and desperation. The cumulative effects of the sustained deprivation of food, health care and the supplies required to rebuild Iraq’s infrastructure resulted in increased crime, begging, prostitution, extreme anxiety about the future and a total sense of isolation. It is estimated that (from UNICEF data) about half a million children died as the result of sanctions and the same statistics put the total death toll from sanctions including adults at a million. International humanitarian law is meant to protect civilian populations. The Geneva Protocol, Article 54, specifically states that starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is prohibited. Approximately 1.5 million people have died as a result of sanctions that severely limit access to the basic necessities of life.
The Bee November 15, 2011
Iraq’s case and Eritreans case is totally different. Iraq was occupied.
The issue is if GOE won’t hear the cry of their people, maybe sanctions will discipline them. Eritreans have been told by the leader of the GOE that democracy and votes may happen in 30 to 40 years. They have been told that GOE knows better and will decide matters of their daily lives. Eritreans are doomed to be ruled by military dictatorship, and there is no hope for change in sight, at least by the current GOE leadership. If the fate of Eritreans is as such, then outside pressure maybe necessary to the leadership to rethink their ways. If the people are cornered, they become desperate, and will do desperate things.

I also forgot to answer your nagging question of why the GoE hasn’t protested the evil meted out on its people.

DIA and his cohorts have configured as Eritrean infants in your delusional mind. Where you fear they will suffer the consequences of a tighter sanction, you see images of infants dying before they are one year old. You equate, so to speak, most concerned and courageous Eritreans, Huluf and Baree, to the Bedouins who are carving organs from live bodies; Eritreans are languishing in Egyptian and other North African jails and you excuse your lord and master in being unable to voice his indignation about the Eritrean lives being squandered at Sinai, an Egyptian territory, because he does not have an address of the Bedouin Embassy to mail the letter to!! God, some of the things you say (I believe without reflecting) are not only chilling but they reveal a very irrational person, bent to justify a glaringly inhuman gang at the helm of our beloved country.

Your statement that reads “…most concerned and courageous Eritreans, Huluf and Baree,…” involve three highly dubious descriptors. But that is for you to decide. I say this due respect, you need to update your understanding of UN sponsored ‘comprehensive Economic Sanction’ as per sadistic woyane’s request Vs the economic and other political problems you state concerning Eritrea. Please, rest assured that I would be least affected by it personally. However, it is clearly established fact that the former type of sanction primarily target the citizens, and infant mortality numbers usually shoot through the roof under those times. The second paradox is also that it enhances the affected regimes grip on power, increases pro regime support as people clamor around their leaders in times of crisis, and creates an express excuse for the affected regime to blame the hardship on external factors. Such sanctions only work with regimes facing imminent collapse from domestic chaos. Else where, it hasn’t dent any regime’s grip on power what so ever. This is an attack on the PEOPLE proper, and the sold out has taken a stand against the Eritrean people true to their form. I know they are only a handful (most commentators here being woyane themselves) still, it is an eyesore to the Eritrean mind.
Kozami November 15, 2011

It is okay for you to oppose the GoE, it is okay to hold the view that reform is needed (or long over due) and others, however the logic of making out it is okay to slap a crying child because he/she is crying any way is untenable. Sanctions are meant to affect the target government through the people. Smart sanction is a think-tank oxymoron. No sanction has ever spared severely hurting the people. Your assertions of Eritreans are already hurting and supporting additional hurt can’t be any more callousness of ill reasoning. You have the prerogative to disparage us for your perceived failings you accuse us of, yet it would be prudent to focus on facts and figures that you have to prove there exist a sanction that hasn’t hurt and destroyed a nation people first.

“The second paradox is also that it enhances the affected regimes grip on power, …”. You have managed to worry me a lot with this statement. God forbid if we have to pass years with these same incompetent people pretending to be the smartest and know it all and then clamoring on hands and knees to remedy what they ‘spat’ on in the first place. I just hope you are dead wrong on that, although it made Fidel Castro last forever. But then Cuba had/has some institutions like health and education that were/are the envy of East and West. One thing is clear though, you seem to be terribly bowled out by additional sanctions. Tomorrow is the day, and inspite of your exhaustive explanations on why it should not take place, I am still firm in my belief that it will come to pass and it will be the darkest day for DIA and Hgdef and supporters like you if it were to materialize. I am convinced it would be a breakthrough for the Eritrean people. They are used to living lean and clean so nothing changes there! They have suffered lack of medicines for the last 20 years! You and I are poles apart in everything and we should learn to respect each other’s liberty to express ourselves freely.
Kozami November 15, 2011

In regard to your last comment, respecting your right to hold your views or express them goes without saying. The matter at hand is however the fact that you believe sanctions are ‘breakthrough for the Eritrean people’ and that you are ‘praying for them’ to state what you said. NO. and HELL NO. Sanctions are a reversal of fortunes to the Eritrean people and that is why (as you admitted to daniel in earlier posting) the GoE is getting solid poplar support of the people in that regard. In any case, your comparison with Cuba may be one scenario, consider Zimbabwe for example. Its economy had grown by 9% last year despite tough sanctions! Your assumption needs to factor in the fact that other countries are not as pliable when sanctions are implemented in practice. It sure would be atrocious on the poor and defenseless but in the said country’s case, more than 40% of the people still account for the top 10% income bracket. Let’s not blow what is at hand, sanction, out of proportions. But be reasonable and calculating in formulating your position so that it has meaningful context to persuade your readers.
Maazza November 15, 2011

I admitted to Daniel that GOE is getting solid popular support? This is the farthest thing from my thinking so I am unable to figure out how your mind works! I will use a favorite of DIA’s word and say this is pure ‘fabrication’. Having said that, the manouvering and worong interpretation of my posts is simply unacceptable and I have therefore opted to refrain and even give up debating with you. You’ve knocked me off several times by putting ‘words in my mouth’. There is lack of intellectual honesty on your part.

I admire your courage to call it quits upon finding out that you had no legs to stand with your evidently self contradicting stance. I know many would have degenerated into raving madness when they run out of hiding corners. For that your actions are commendable. And sleep well, as there is no love lost. However, just to set the records straight, daniel said that the GoE is supported not only by the people in Eritrea (as he stated he has been back there 8 months ago) but also by those who have supposedly escaped to seek refuge. In may view, a ‘solid support’ accounts for support garnered inside Eritrea proper and a ‘super duper solid support’ for support garnered from people who have supposedly left your constituency. And YOU Maaza responded by stating “the points you raise are both FACTUAL and worrying” (emphasis mine). So now, what aspect of surmise as to “your admission to the GoE having solid support” equate to ‘intellectual dishonesty’? Backing out of a dying reasoning may warrant some face saving exit strategy somehow, however ‘good by’ would also do nicely. All is not lost, now that you have seen how the sadistic woyane has been playing you back to front, there is still ample time to renounce them and rejoin team truth.

Kozami,
Although Maaza has decided to call it quits eventually, the discussion between her and you was very interesting. You guys have taken the discussion to a great length while many of us had given up commenting on the topic. Even Zekhtam, the acclaimed and permanent resident of this website, had dropped out of the race very early for the first time. With the exception of a few fellows, the ” never kneel down” sorts… such as Baree who made sure the rage between you and Maaza did not run out fuel (kab isatu yedhnena fetari), Abdi trying his best to cut off Maaza’s supply line, the buzzing Bee spraying some spices (memaqrti) onto the simmering soup (tsebhi) and Huluf facing Abdi head on to deliver ammunition to the front-line so that Maaza could continue the fight. At the end, however, there is only one winner, and Maaza’s loss is truly due to her lack of personal honesty and intellectual integrity.
Kozami November 15, 2011
Tsahaye
I am glad that you found the exchanges interesting. Truth be told, Maaza appeared to have faltered in substance and not in demeanor. The issue discussed, however, is onlythe tip of the iceberg regarding the horrendous error of calculation made by the sold out opposition. It reminds me jock about a certain Asmarino by the name Ali. He happen to win a 1,000,000 nakfa in a lottery draw. So, Ali goes to his usual hang out cafe in Asmara by himself, sits down and thinks to him self as follows. Now that you have won 1,000,000 nakfa, and that you are getting old and are not likely to live more than 10 years, just enjoy the good things in life for the next 10 years by spending 100,000 nakfa per year. Sure enough you will die at the end of the 10 year, with out leaving a cent in debt or asset. So, Ali follows his plan and zooms through the 10 year period just as he planned. The problem, however, turned out to be he was nothing like close to dying at the end of the decade he spent in extravaganza. So, poor Ali, went back to the same cafe, sat down and after a long sigh, he said to himself “You see Ali, your plan was really perfect, except for some accounting errors!”
Tsahaye November 16, 2011
Kozami,
Account errors indeed. If Ali had invested some of the money he had won, he might have built great wealth that would outlast the part of his remaining lifespan. The rest could have been passed on to his family to continue expanding their wealth and benefit the nation in many ways: creating employing people is one of them. This is an excellent story, and I hope some people from the followers of the warlords would take Ali’s experience to heart and learn from the grave errors he had made. They need to think about tomorrow and reject the sanction against Eritrea without hesitation. After all, the sanction is based on a fraudulent accounting and its intended goal is nothing but cripple Eritrea and destroy the hopes and aspirations of its people. PERIOD.

Let me clarify by saying that I was referring to Iraqi Sanction effect post the first Gulf war (1991-1996). Iraq was not under occupation at the time. Similarly, we are discussing Economic Sanctions which is interpreted in the same way regardless of which country. It is a formula made up of Import sanctions, Export sanctions and arms embargo, commonly known as Comprehensive sanctions. The aim is in what you stated in blood curdling manner “If the people are cornered, they become desperate, and will do desperate things” Unfortunately, it doesn’t pan out like that at all. Far to the contrary, the hand of the government is strengthened (now that everything the government does is hailed as a ‘victory’), the people sensing obvious external threat clamor around the government, the weak and defenseless is routed and blamed on the aggressor and if opposing is impossible now, it becomes downright deadly then. All these have been corroborated by independent studies and facts show that no single government has ever been overthrown through sanctions.
Kozami November 15, 2011
The Bee pt2
However, the blood curdling way you’ve put it actually stops short of logic. To have a destitute mother who can not afford a pill for malaria to save her dying infant, can not give you the political freedom and democracy you crave for. She simply can not (not that she doesn’t want to!). How cruel, how heartless, how malevolent can you be to support something that would kill her physically and spiritually. In the cold and brute world of reason, it is the opposition who needs to reject the sanction and the government to care less for it would do it no harm. Yet, alas the sold out opposition had been played back and forth by the sadistic woyane for meager stipends, and here it is condemning the weak and fragile for the callous motto of “If the people are cornered, they become desperate, and will do desperate things”
