***image1:left***In African government circles, anti-terrorism has replaced anti-communism as the quickest route to gain American sympathy and milk the American cash cow.  The revolutionary language of “freedom fighter”, “insurgent”, “rebel” is now a useless relic: “terrorism”—targeting civilians into submission by random acts of cruelty—is not so much dependent on the act itself, but on who is committing it.  There is the government and there are terrorists.  That’s it.

***image1:left***HTB read something he didn't like and he responded to this the way most Eritrean politicians do: he saw a conspiracy engineered by his political enemies, in this case, Isaias Afwerki....And, of course, we are part of a big conspiracy, but he is on to us...
