I am still disturbed by images of mothers holding the pictures of PIA in gold frames akin to the manner in which their counter parts from the sane Eritrea would hold the images of sacred saints…in our pathocratic Eritrea priests approve of delirium worship of a man who saw over the incarceration of their fellow clergy and shut sister churches…

Dr. Bereket played his role until the independence of Eritrea and alongside millions of Eritreans, he celebrated the victory of liberation. When he was appointed to chair constitution-drafting commission, many people said that he was a good choice and that he was qualified and eligible for the task. He did his best: meetings, interviews, gathering proposals, listening to recommendations. At the end, he put the summary of his findings on the president’s table. However, the president said, ‘No official language,’ meaning no Arabic language and the constitution was frozen. The president threw away his mask and revealed the true face of a dictator.

What kind of a devilish mind would even entertain the probability that someone who was lined up to sacrifice his very soul to save the nation would turn into a cheap Land Grabber and a disgusting Exclusionist raping our dignity and destroying his own glory in the process for peanuts? Who has ever imagined that the legendary tegadalay would end into a thief, a thug and a tramp? Who has ever thought that the hero that led the offensive of hizbawi serawit (People’s Army) into Nadew in Afabet and Fenkil in Massawa would also lead the offensive of thieves and Land Grabbers into our ancestral land? None that I know of!
