    Thank you ato Kibrom Dafla for putting some light into the dark banking and financial dealings of Hgdef’s hard currency and monetary resources.
    I was not surprised Issaias has stashed and hidden away this amount of money while Eritreans are starving to death, sold to Arab slavery, dying in the sea, with hospitals run out with basic medicine and schools run out of school supplies, no electric power, with all the factories closed down because lack of import supplies … what surprises me is the amount of money $US 700 million in one bank alone at HSBC because there are many other international and Swiss banks and millions of money hidden away, including in the Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, …
    As young Eritreans are sold to slavery in Egypt, Libya and Sudan, many others drawn to the sea in hundreds, Issaias is running all the way laughing to the sea.

    If Issaias can accumulate and hide more than a Billion dollars in foreign banks, why are we Eritreans afraid to support Radio Assenna with few hundreds each?
    How can we fight Issaias armed in Billions while Assenna can not afford hundreds

    I wish our brother Tesfamariam Wedi Vacaro was here today, he would have rescued the 700 million easily, we need Eritreans like Tesfamariam Wedi Vacaro, Elsa Chirum, Dr. Alganash, Meron Stifanos that will do their best to snatch and rescue the stolen money from the number one thief of Eritrea Isayas Wedi Medhin Beard.

    I don’t think the profit made from Bisha project include in this accounts . In fact the
    whole aspects of national wealth accountability raise many questions . If different bank
    accounts at other places revealed , obviously every open minded person won’t react in
    surprise .
    Most western manufacturing companies succeed to gain huge capital by exploiting cheap
    labor in poor countries . Imagine the millions earned using same method in Eritrea .
    Our people have a right to be rewarded for their life time hard work under HGDF’S
    oppressed environment .
    FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE HAVE SAME PATTERN IN LIFE WHICH WE CAN’T DIFFERENTIATE .

      guba, Ahhh…. I wish you have the necessary facility to use the Ge’ez alphabet. You have something of a gem in your commentary.

    It is very troubling to hear the treasure of the country is being stashed By Isaias, especially when people are dying in the shores of Italy and across the deserts, when people in Eritrea are in living in Dark and under shackles of slavery of so called National Service. All of us Eritrean has the moral obligation to disseminate this news so that those who are still fooled by the the Isaias and his cronies could wake up. It is time to claim back our country from this monster and his cronies. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING AND ANYTHING WITHIN OUR CAPACITY AND REACH. It is our historical obligation. As they “Bad things happen because Good people stay quite”. We have been silent for long time, it is time to speak out for the sake of our future generation and our legacy. Starting from exposing the crimes of this regime to Eritrean people.

    Subject: The Secret HSBC Account Linked to Eritrea in the Swiss Leaks, 16 Feb 2015

    Commentary: 19 Feb 2015

    So far, nearly ninety (90) commentaries have surfaced on the subject! Are we heading to reach the highest record level?
    But the most important question is: WHY? Why is the question of money laundering, grafting of a wealth of a country by indigenous smart-alecks is so shocking and new phenomenon? After all, Swiss Bank has been around in the consciousness of the world for a quite a while. Hoarding money in secrete fortresses [including under mattresses!!!] is as old as human nature. So, why are good and sensible Eritreans so shocked about the behviour of yesterday’s beloved, selfless, tireless, and heroic leader, Issayas Afewerki Abraha, and his enablers transferring the wealth of Eritrea to other SAFE country for their own prosperity and tranquillity? At one time, not long time ago, it was ‘rumored’ >>> it is always “rumour” in Eritrea !!! Ok, Ok, Ok if it makes us feel better it is really universal, not restricted to Eritrea. Still, Eritreans like to compare themselves with the lowest denominator rather than to aspire to excellence! I am definitely digressing dangerously.

    So, going back to the rumour, Issayas apparently “ሓንቲ ዓባይ ናይ ንግዲ መርከብ ኣላቶ።”. As the Internet technology was not well developed [for Eritreans, that is!] the rumour didn’t get enough space that it deserved! And so, the Issayas merchant ship was sailing smoothly around the Globe, doing its business quietly, without making waves! No wonder Issayas is the richest person in the world, worth about 800 million US Dollar. And this is just in the Bank account. Keep on reading.

    Now, let us go back to the reaction of the Internet Lovers ( i.e. Eritreans ) who are excited and amazed about the Swiss Bank account in the name of their beloved heroic figure who brought them Liberty, Independence and Freedom in his singular struggle [Issayas never trusts anyone, but uses them] for a period of twenty nine (29) years in a 30-year war – one of the greatest deception in the annals of world history. After twenty four years of Issayas’ iron-glove rule, with complete “self-independence” to be absolute ruler and master of the entire spectrum of Eritrean population of about three to five or to six million (it doesn’t matter). Eritreans are still debating whether Issayas is a Saint or a Devil! Never underestimate the goodness of the Eritrean Heart! How else can one explain the bizarre reaction of Eritreans on the Swiss Bank peanut-account when the entire country called Eritrea – much, much more worth than the Swiss Bank account — is a private real state property of Issayas Afewerki Abraha, the ultimate self-made dictator. May we have sensible concentrated debate on this particular issue, please?

    As to the Swiss Bank account, we should leave it to the solid organization of the modern educated scholars (Eritreans) in appropriate profession (e.g. International Commercial Law, Finance, Banking,…) to sort out the web of international swindling for the return of the money (including the merchant ship!) to its true owners >>> THE ERITREAN PEOPLE. How does the insightful proverb goes??? እንተዘይሞትክን ……… Please complete it. THANK YOU & have a peaceful, healthy, prosperous Diaspora Life.
    THE END

    I have no idea about money, but i a little bit surprised Ato kibrom Dafla because diddn´t mentioned a single word about the PFDJ that got money from Diaspora community. I don´t mean about 2% tax, but i believe the exile Eritreans just to support their family inside home as they sending at least a billion dollar yearly. Everybody knows the Eritrean backbone economy as it is the income from Diaspora community, so how is for Ato Kibrom Dafla difficult to know about this money? Even in the name of Mekete in the name of helping the orphan family, just in the name of to built houses Isyas that stolen money from Meek Eritreans it would be alone a billion dollar. Finally Eritrea as nation from port and other resources activity it is not hard to guess as it will have another income without forgetting more or less from the international community that comes aid. When i all this mentioned, i didn´t include from mine resources income.

  • Truly Truly i say to you February 22, 2015

    In my view 10 times more than that mentioned money from Swiss, may already stolen and could transferred to different countries, but i still surprised about Ato Kibrom Dafla´s very limited assertion about . By giving a 5 million dollars Loan example from Libya, Ato Kibrom indirectly makes the Mafia regime honest, which i couldn´t expect from i highly respected former Bank and Airlines manager.
    Despite all this for me what it pains me more is not the stolen money, but in 25 years lost opportunity that we lost money for instance from port income, from international community aid, if citizens will be got chance chance to invest in home land, i believe least mote than 50 billions dollar because of the regime ignorance we lost it is. There is no crime more than ignorance that created poverty.
    The bible says, “Better to have wisdom than weapons of war, but one sinner (Ignorant and fool like Isyas) can destroy much that is good. (Ecclesiastes 9, 18)
    as well, in other part the bible says,
    “A stone is heavy and sand is weighty, but the resentment caused by fool is even heavier. (Proverbs 27, 3)
