Unfortunately, to some, Eritrea is made up of three groups: people who share their values, people who can be compelled to share their values, and people who have to be marginalized, and de-citizinized. Oh, there will always be some fine-sounding reasons to de-citinize the people but in spirit and content, there is no difference between yesterdays Fifth columnist and todays sovereignty-compromiser. Even the people making the accusations and the people being accused are the same. In fact, even some of the tools being used are the same: stalling. |

A long time ago, the PFDJ became a "Wushuma", a faithful mistress of the Weyane. Now that it has been dumped, it doesnt want its former Wushuma to deal with anyone else....The forces that are victimizing strugglers by stressing on the "Ethiopian connection" are the same forces that victimized the strugglers of the sixties and seventies by stressing on the "Arab connection." |

In the early nineties, people in Eritrea were pointing at many bureaucrats who smoothly transitioned from serving the Derg to serving the EPLF. They told me how bad they were. When I asked why they were being left to continue harassing the people, after independence, the answer I got was that they were members of the "wushTawi Serreet" underground collaborators) of the EPLF! I never found out why it took that long to liberate Eritrea when the EPLF had that chunk of the Derg bureaucracy collaborating with it! |

The Downeys were part of Keren. Their charitable deeds were commended in places far from the besieged town of Keren. Lalmba sculpted smiles in the faces of many children who ate, slept, played and went to school in the compound of red brick buildings. The Neem trees, as if in appreciation, quickly grew to huge sizes and gave the compound a cool breeze and much needed shade. The dusty field was full of noisy children running around and playing football. |

I cant hide my rejection of violence. I simply abhor it. Yet, I am a strong fan of Aya Hammurabi. I cant explain my views any better than to admit they are identical to Mesfin Hagos stand as he eloquently described it in his interview with Russom Mesfin a few weeks ago. Peaceful struggle is always preferred but I dont have any moral authority to tell people not to fight back when they are being attacked and their rights are being violated. I condemn the empire of terror, the perpetrator of violence, the PFDJ. The cause for any present and future violence lies squarely on the PFDJ system. |
