But what can we do, people ask. On the one hand, there is the PFDJ, which has set and is setting Eritrea ablaze with it sadist indifference. On the other hand, there is the opposition, with its puny, leaky, disintegrating water hose, sprinkling and feeding the fire, while the self-appointed fire-fighters fight over the direction and control of the hose. |

This is one of those announcements that is so outrageous that when you read it you assume you are mistaken. You are ignorant of some key statement, you tell yourself, you are missing the context. Personally, what I thought was that Asmara Brewery has a division that sells soft drinks or bottled water and it is shares in this division that the government was offering its Muslim population.

The journalist concluded his report by saying that the fear is not what the war will do to Eritrea; the fear is that the aftermath of the war will change Eritrea “into another Ethiopia.” He meant another African basket case, unable to cope with the challenges of statehood and governance.

It turns out we are all wrong. Misinformed, in my case, although the information was publicly available and I could have verified it for myself. And I was wrong. But, you know the expression and question that follows the expression: does one walk by faith or walk by sight? Faith no more, when it comes to the PFDJ, and we must walk by sight. The PFDJ communication switch has an on and off button: when it is on, they are lying; when it is off, they are obstructing. |

And we dance, as a wound up toy does, aiming for a state of non-consciousness when the clock will go back to 1997 and all the state crimes of the last 6 years will be washed away. Happy self-determination day, my dizzy compatriots. We are all determined to be selfless… Drink like the Irish, eat like a monk, and sleep like a baby… |
