By Mohammed Barkay

The people of Tigray and Eritrea are the most related people on earth. We share almost everything except the secrets. Behaviorally speaking, we Eritreans are more direct and aggressive in nature but the Tigreans are known as polite and  with ill-intention. Our people talk many stereotypes about the Tigreans such as, betrayal, inferiority complex, boot lickers, untrustworthy, and so on. The zig-zag road from Keren to Asmara named “Libi Tigray” was derived from such stereotypes. Although all those characteristics are not right but they indicate the mistrust among the two peoples. Here I don’t want go into deep about historical frictions because a lot have been said about that subject matter. Let me come to the main points.

Many Eritreans including some of the opposition members believe that the Weyanes do not want any change in Eritrea. While others including myself believed that the Weyanes are our comrades and brothers and our people’s suffering concerns them too. Unfortunately, the later have been diminished due to different covert and overt reasons. As neighbors and comrades we expected a positive role from the Weyanes, but unfortunately they played a very dirty role in our politics. We are not blaming Weyane for not helping us but they should have abstained at least from not destroying us internally. The Eritrean opposition groups in Ethiopia are divided along ethnic, religious and regional lines with full blessing of Weyane. In contrast, the Ethiopian opposition in Eritrea are united and progressive far better than the Eritrean opposition. If this indicates anything, it indicates that either Weyane lacks a vision towards peaceful coexistence with its neighbors or there is a hidden agenda to destroy Eritrea. I hope I am wrong. In connection to Weyane’s agenda, nowadays we experience a very disappointing event that demhit was not an opposition but Weyanes intelligence force working under their enemy (Eritrea) for years.

We thought we are friends and neighbors who shared all the good and the bad during the difficult times. However, Weyanes are calling us now enemy. Many Eritreans including myself are perplexed by the mission of demhit and its role inside Eritrea. If  Weyane and demhit think that they hit their goal, then what is that goal? If I am correct, Weyane hosted the Eritrean  opposition groups in order to change the dictatorial regime of Isyas Afwerki. If that is what they wanted, then why that change was not done through demhit since it operated under the nose of Isyas? Why they did not kill Isyas from within? Why there was no coordination between delayti fithi and the Weyane? Why the Eritrean opposition did not know all that? In fact many questions can be raised regarding the intention of Weyane.

According to tigraionline.com that “Following the news of TPDM forces mass defection, fear and confusion among the Eritrean population is spreading like a wild fire. The largest and the strongest armed group was working with the Ethiopian intelligence and security agencies for years collecting and passing sensitive military information is devastating to the Eritrean regime” the same website continued saying “TPDM/DMHIT, Mola Asgedom.  What he didn’t know was Mola was using him to gain extremely valuable information which will be handy to demolish his brutal regime when the time is right.” Never, it was not intended for regime change at all but it was an ill-intention against the Eritrean people. If Weyanes were serious about the regime change, they would have done it within since demhit were already there. But it is clear that Weyane and Isyas are working together to destroy Eritrea and Eritrean.

What was the role of demhit in Eritrea? Demhit guarded Isyas Afwerki and worked as an intelligence unit for him against the Eritrean defense force. Demhit and Isyas drained our economy when our hospitals lack medicines and facilities. Isyas Afwerki and Weyane and Demhit achieved the following:

  • Forced Eritreans to leave their country
  • Imprisoned, raped, persecuted , and killed our people
  • Arrested and killed many of our heroes
  • Closed our schools and educational institutions
  • Cleansed our country from its human capital
  • Stolen our money and funded the Weyane forces
  • Bankrupted our financial institutions
  • Left our cities in complete darkness
  • Confined our people from movements
  • Killed our trade connections and…etc.

Now the secrets of Weyane and Isyas have been revealed. Molla Asgedom reported to Tigraionline.com that“The Eritrean president’s background is 75% from Tigrai, Ethiopia in both his mother and father’s side. For that reason he always surrounds himself with people who have similar background.” It is true that Isyas has been surrounded by the likes of Mr.Molla Asgedom and Isyas wanted to produce many children of Tigrean origin probably 75% like himself.

Isyas Afwerki and the Weyanes went to the war in order to destroy us and it was not a border issue at all. This indicates that there is a hidden common agenda against us. Eritreans must be conscious enough, must be aware that a deep conspiracy have been played against us.  Weyanes and Isyas Afwerki have been proven that they are the opposite sides of the same coin. We have to act today not tomorrow to restore our dignity and revive our pride. We have nothing left to wait for, we have to depend on ourselves and quickly destroy that monster from our beloved home. Isyas Afwerki is working as an intelligence officer for his home country and this cannot be clearer than today. One man should not elude us by playing on our weaknesses, let’s act now and save the remaining.

Peace to our country!

Wedi Barkay

    We ask for it and we got it in a big way. Emperor Haile Selassie is probably smiling down from his grave for what we are going through after we accused him and his good Amhara people falsely of oppressing and abusing us when the fact was we were the best treated people in his kingdom.Sadly the unpredictable and immeasurable atrocities that are committed against us by the people we call ours.

  • Haqi September 21, 2015

    Eritreans need to stop just living in empty bravado. Woyane simply said out outmaneuvered, outplayed and outsmarted Shabia/Higdef big time. This is a fact nobody can deny it except the blind shabia followers and

    Well done brother.
    To your excellent question, “Which one is our enemy- Isayas Afwerki or Weyane”?
    My answer is BOTH. Isayas Afwerki is a sick man. He is a psychopath we know that well. He surround himself with people of Tigrai origin and betrayed the people who loved him the most. Eritrean who loves Eritrea and their people couldn’t get the chance to help their people. Now, What we thought about the Tigrai Gov in Ethiopia is hundred percent wrong. With the latest DEMHT situation, The “brotherly” Tigrai gov has been happy about the suffering of Eritrean people for the past 24 years. This is betrayal like no other. We thought the “brotherly” gov was on our side in the struggle for our survival, The struggle for opportunity for young Eritrean to live a normal life in their own country; Instead the Tigrai gov, participated in the crime of driving young Eritrean to their death. It is a surreal situation. This is a sign for us, Eritrean to wake up and smell the betrayal. This goes to all Eritrean including PFDJ members. This astronomical betrayal by our “brotherly” Tigraian gov can’t bee seen lightly. They need to stay away from our people and we need to care of our main problem at home.
    God Bless our people. Let be true what they say. God punishes the one he loves.
    We shall overcome.

    Wedi Barkay,
    “….revive our pride” your article’s content tells all (you conscience Level). For some reason, the Eritrean political issue became the issue of ethnicity and religious affiliation. It’s sad!

  • Genet-orginal September 21, 2015

    Wedi Barkay, Wedi ERI. Don’t be sorry for anything. What you stated is just the obvious. Did Mola said he was sent to Eritrea by the Tigrai Gov in Ethiopia? TRUE he said that.. Did Mola said he was a trusted Isayas’s helper? TURE he said that. All of the Woyana defenders, you can’t get out of this. Get it to your head your culture of betrayal is going to come back to hunt you. You are making too much noise. Yes, You have been working with your brother Isaya to destroy Eritrea. The game is over. Inferiority complex is a disease like no other. No amount of money, education or counseling will cure it. All the people who are making too much noise are infected with the disease. If they were normal people, they could have been remorseful about the action of Mola and their gov. They are sick and it is sad we have to deal with their culture of betrayal.
    God bless the Eritrean people.
    We shall overcome!

    Shame, shame, Shame on all the Tigrai people. I have no respect what so ever for you. You are the most despicable creatures. So far not even one person came to Assenna to say what happened was wrong. Not one person so far. OMG! God safe the world from this kind of creatures without conscience.
    God bless the Eritrean people.
    We shall overcome!

      Genet-O, staying stuck in frustration and hatred is not part of the solution. Wake up and smell the beautiful Ethiopian coffee. Get to the real world of love and forgiveness, and get a life as well.

      • Genet-orginal September 22, 2015

        Semhal
        That is what I am talking about. The classic marker of pure Psychopath. “love and forgiveness”
        to whom? Do you see the diminished empathy and no remorse from you and others. I feel sorry for the rest of Ethiopian that they have to deal you.

      • Eritreawit September 23, 2015

        Semhal,

        Ya right , you are loving and forgiving? then why was your government sending a spy MOLA to Eritrea in 1991 and start demhit 1993, to love us more.The worst happend to our country and people between 1991 to now, some of us knew that there was a connection between hgdf and weyane but no one was expecting a back stabbing like this form weyane towards ERITREAN people. What a hipocrates.

  • Genet-orginal September 22, 2015

    It is official Tigrai people are shameful. Eritrean are here to stay. We are not going anywhere. You stay with Ethiopia. I went to Tigraonline just to check. All the commentators are all talking how they hate Eritrean and Amhara. How they want to destroy the Amharic language in order to destroy the Amhara people from Ethiopia. And some of those uninvited intruder here at Assenna are regular at Tigraionline. They just hate and hate everyone.

    Just know. We Eritrean not going anywhere.

    • Masawa September 22, 2015

      Gineta writes, “It is official Tigrai people are shameful.”

      The truth is that the people of Ethiopia and the Tigrai people in particular love their own identity, history and languages.
      The people of Tigrai respect their own ancestors and forefathers, be it the Axumites or Gonderites, Qohaitans, or Agaws of Lalibela, be it Bashay Awalom or Ras alula or Zerai Deres.
      The people of Tigrai love their languages. I had never seen Tigraians who burned their own languages and books to borrow a cheap second hand Arab identity across the sea. Can you ask why the Jebha leaders and their barking creaters burned the Tigre language of Eritrea, and why they hate their own ethnic and historical identity so much?
      The people of Tigrai and Ethiopia love their country. I had never seen a Tigraian or Ethiopian leader who took orders from the savage Arab Bedouins, Rashyadas or Arab leaders to destroy his own country and burn his own identity and languages, just to become an Abeed.
      Now, tell me who is shameful? Who is suffering of slavish and Abeedist mentality?

      • Genet-orginal September 22, 2015

        Masawa????
        Don’t try to change the topic. We are talking about betrayal.
        We are not talking about Ethiopian, we are taking about you Tigrai people. The fact that you think betraying other people is being smart. If you think Tigrai loves Ethiopia and Ethiopian, please go to Tigrai Online and see what is being said by ethnic Tigrai. About Ethiopia, the Eritrean people contributed to Ethiopian lives way before you. Yes, we built Ethiopia and made contribution to the Ethiopian people’s lives. Unlike your parasitic relationship with the real Ethiopians. If you were a decent human being, you could have said how wrong it is for mola and the Tigrai gov in Ethiopia to contribute to the suffering of the Eritrean people. I haven’t seen any posting with sympathy toward the Eritrean situation from Tigrai people. Not one so far. You tell me who is shameful?

      • merhaba September 23, 2015

        Why are you hear ? who invited you ? you are here as you are shameless like your leaders. If you respected your people, if you have any dignity, you would not come here and stay where you belong. I am ashamed as a proud eritrean, neskan kemzi kemakan Kitwurzuylna mebkakum.
        The proud patriotic revolutionary eritrea, your masters and teachers, who genuinely with revolutionary love lifted you from your misery ( not the above mentioned although historical and you are entitled to be proud of them) did not put you in the power, which you are now shamelessly abusing against the eritrean people and the ethiopian people.
        Any unjust baseless cynical politics of Faschist PFDJ + Faschist WOYANE+ DMHIT will be buried soon in the garbage of history, and the patriotic revolutionary eritrea will rise up one day as our fallen heros have not perished in vain

      No you go to your Tigrai Online, the home of the hate. Enough is Enough. We can’t tolerate any Tigrian to call our people name and insult our country. This time no tolerance for people who have no respect for our people.
      God Bless the Eritrean people.
      We shall overcome!

        hate toward Eritreans.

  • Simon G. September 22, 2015

    We don’t have to get that low at all. We supposed to be civilized society. Hatred consumes to much energy. No need for that.
    Mola was working with Isayas. Why are you guys surprised? We have fought the ’98 war. To me it is personal, because I have lost direct family member, a dear brother, among many relatives and friends. My anger is more on Isayas, because he supposed to be taking care of them. We trusted him.
    I am ashamed that Mola and Isayas over played us. That make me look stupid, more than angry. If I have to get angry, I have to on those stupid Eritrean colonels/generals/ministers. What the heck are they doing?
    HGDF is directly equivalent to Woyane. However, no name calling to the whole Tigray people. Why should we? They are as clueless as we are.
    Wedi Barkay,
    Your analysis would have more weight, if you had to stick on the subject of Woyane and HGDF.
    We need to have peace oriented mind. Hatred hurts to the hater, way more than the other side.
    Come on guys, I am just high school graduate. You should think way better than me.

      you said you are only a high school graduate, but with compassion and love that is enough, even to lead a nation.

    • Genet-orginal September 22, 2015

      Dear Simon G.
      Civility, respect and understanding between two people was supposed to be a two way street. You and I have been on assenna, sharing our thought and concerns to the best of our ability, about our people and country for a long time. You never heard me use a derogatory term against anyone and I never heard you to use one. On the other side, Tigraian have been using the worst terms to belittle the entire Eritrean society. Even now, with the unbelievable event, not even one person says, this is wrong. No one so far. I am still waiting. But What I have seen so far is more insults toward Eritrean and Eritrea.

    • Genet-orginal September 22, 2015

      Cont.2 Dear Simon G
      Civility and respect is a two way street.
      I don’t expect for Tigraian to fight our fight. I expected for them to do the Eritrean people a favor, since they endangered our people’s life through the weakest link name Isayas, the least they could have done was put DIA under house arrest. To me, Tigrai people may not be our enemy, but certainly NOT our friends. Mola said he and his men were the most trusted by Isayas than the Eritrean force. Why were they the most trusted? Is that has to do with where they came from or is it because they were doing his dirty work?

    • Genet-orginal September 22, 2015

      Cont, 3 Dear Simon G.
      Civility and respect must be a two way street.
      I see some of the people who are known to insult the whole Eritrean people are upset about Wedi Barkay’s article stating the obvious. I am sorry, did the people who trashed the Eritrean people in general for as long as have felt offended? So, We Eritrean only have to take the high road? Isn’t civility and respect a two way street? Assenna has been very tolerance of these hateful people for a long time. We, Eritrean have been forced to ignore them as insignificant. Enough is Enough.
      God bless our people and our county!
      We shall overcome.

      • AHMED SALEH !!!. September 23, 2015

        Brother Simon
        You have been in this forum for a while . And We
        observed some suspicious commentators eager to
        offend Eritrean people unnecessarily with stupid
        remarks .
        I agree to show civility and respect among each
        other . But fair enough if we can express our
        objection at anyone including the anti Eritrean
        loud mouths in our forum . Their sinister efforts
        played to cause emotional confrontation .
        Haters are the shameless corrupted elements who
        keep insulting our nation and whole people . In
        fact majority of us in ASSENNA forum tried stay
        sensitive on issues related toward ordinary people.
        So let’s be honest to condemn any form of repulsive
        languages to protect dignity of this Eritrean site .
        Genet Original reaction speaks for many frustrated
        readers and I can blame her because they asked for
        it . Eventhough they aren’t different from HGDF supporters who care less about their people in need .

            I hear you sis Geneta and brother Ahmed. When we stick to the subject (with no derogatory words), our messages have more weight and meaning. I am sure this is out of frustration because, like brother Tes said, you are one of the most decent commentator at Assenna forum. Brother Ahmed is in that category as well. I also agree about those few commentators (with many nicknames), they constantly to discredit our independent country. The issue we have is temporary. We will get beyond that.
