Even the Ministry of Information (MoI) would agree that an Eritrean citizen has a right (1) not to be tortured and (2) not to be enslaved or sold off in an auction, even if he or she has not fulfilled a single obligation. Given that this is the case, it would seem that, even in Eritrea, certain rights are not privileges and they cannot be taken away by authorities. |

In the Eritrean future, sacrifice is a constant. But let us make sure that what we are sacrificing is our time, our energy, our goodwill, but never, ever again our people. Eritrea has paid more than its share in human life just for the honor of existing and future generations must be spared because past and present generations have already paid the price. |

In short, the PFDJ’s image in 2003 is worse than it was in any prior year and, unless it takes (or is forced to take) immediate measures to respect the human rights of Eritreans, 2004 will be even worse than 2003 and its self-inflicted isolation from world opinion will increase. Despite all its brave talk, the PFDJ, unlike the EPLF, always crumbles when its back is against the wall. We must push and push and push relentlessly until it is completely cornered. Those with qualms about this approach and those who question its wisdom must remember that the PFDJ is NOT a government but an outlaw agency that is in power only because it has weapons. |

...at some point, a critical mass of the oppressed people will see violence as not only legitimate but the only way to free themselves. If and when that date comes about, the long-suffering Eritreans will suffer some more for the sake of ending their suffering. And if and when that happens, the PFDJ and its leader will be solely responsible for the suffering of the people. |

The defenders and apologists for PFDJ like to delude and flatter themselves into thinking that all the transgressions of their government are defensive in nature and temporary in scope. They have given the government a permanent license to do whatever it wishes, for however long it wants to the citizens, because it would be doing it in “defense” of the nation. It is in “defense” of the nation that journalists must be muted; elderly arrested; youth enslaved; dissidents disappeared; mothers distraught; businesses monopolized, churches closed, elections postponed.... |
