In this language, you can�t even begin a joke with: �Why did the chicken cross the street?�   The chicken didn�t cross the street; the street was crossed by the chicken.   Well then, let�s ask the street. When the passive Anglicized Tigrigna is translated to English, we get the always-hilarious phrase �it is to be remembered�.� a standby of every Shabia media outlet.   It is to be remembered that the phrase �it is to be remembered� is used often to re-enforce manufactured or false memory.

What Eritrea is suffering from is not because of the �political prostitutes.�  Political prostitutes at least pay attention to what their customer wants and they want as many customers as they can get. ...What Eritrea is suffering from�and it has a National Assembly full of it�is that new Eritrean breed, one that was nurtured by past colonialists.   The one whose sole aim in life was to please The Boss; the one that kissed the ground Emperor Haile Selassie walked on and memorized two Amharic words: �ishi getaye.�   That toadying, always-scared, timid, apprehensive gentle soul.   The one that we had come to believe had been eliminated by our armed struggle. The breed is the Eritrean Political Eunuch.
