The Eritrean struggle is not about you or your stupid squabbles. It is not about your endless meetings and negotiations. It is not about preparing halls for you to come and repeat the same stale material and then to tell us bAwet tezazimu. It is not about your grudges, your jealousy, your envy and your lamentations. It is nothing about who among you becomes the queen-bee and who follows them. It is about the people who are calling for a salvation; it is about a country that needs to be salvaged. |

The announcement for the demobilization of females is meant to divert attention from the exposing of the crimes being committed against women in all parts of Eritrea; mainly in Sawa and in the military services. We would like to believe the demobilization is true. We don't believe a word this government says. Think of it: why is the PFDJ, which makes strong noises about the equality of men and women, demobilizing only the women and ALL the women? |

These were the new tools of terror, but the old tools were not abandoned. In 2002, just like in previous years, people were still frozen (Mr. Tekie Beyene, Director of Eritreas Bank and Brigadier General Habtesion Hadgu, Commander of its airforce); people were still arrested (Hamid Mohammed Said, Saidia, Saleh Aljezaeri, Suleiman Mussa Hajj, Tesfaldet Seyoum, Ali Mohammed Saleh Shum, Wedi Redi and countless of nameless others.) |

The Cotonou Partnership [joined by Eritrea in 2000]describes itself as an agreement based on respect for human rights, democratic principles, the rule of law and good governance. In 2000, after the end of the war, Eritrea was to receive almost 300 million Euros from the World Bank, in a project known as Emergency Reconstruction Programme, a development plan jointly financed by Italy, France, Denmark, and the European Union. We all know what happened in 2001 and 2002. We remember the expulsion of the Italian/EU ambassador to Eritrea (a major financier of the 300 million); the deteriorating relationship with Denmark (another backer.) We know about the refusal to implement the Eritrean constitution (then taken as a given by the EU); the postponement of the scheduled elections and arrest of journalists (rejection of democratic principles); the arrest without charge of scores of people (no rule of law or human rights) and the indefinite postponement of the demobilization program. No matter how often it is asserted, the opposition or any other "enemy" didnt do any of the above. The government of Eritrea is responsible for all these miscalculations. And as a result of its miscalculations, the Eritrean people are suffering. |

It is a common complaint of every female veteran freedom fighter that the PFDJ employs a use and dispose policy. It is common knowledge that all the egalitarian values that were developed in Sahel were quickly abandoned once they entered Asmara, with women tegadelti now expected to forget their we are equal teachings and accept the traditional role of a housewife. It is also common knowledge that some of the male tegadelti (the yekaalo), specially the officers, believe that having spent their youth in sacrifices, it is now their time to play and they have an entitlement to it. In fact, some of the officers own bars and canteens, which, realistically, makes them pimps. |
