Unfiltered Notes: A demariw ABIY ALREADY SUBSCRIBED THE ERITREEN PEOPLE

Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed introduced an encouraging new tone that the region badly needed. The steps that he has taken to make peace with his own people – end the state of emergency, close prisons, allow "competing" political parties and private media to take action. operating in Ethiopia – are impressive. His apparent acceptance of the limit of this mandate at the beginning of his term vis-à-vis the history of Africa's wicked dictators, remains to be seen but refreshes no less. Given its multiethnic and multi-religious origins, Ethiopia is very fortunate to see it emerge at this critical juncture.
But we must also be careful because we have already seen this film. Musevini was also 42 when he came to power. By the time he said "the problem of Africa was the leaders who did not want to leave power" . Still in power more than three decades later, the transformation is over: "Some people think that being in government for a long time is a bad thing, but the longer you stay, the more you learn." I am now an expert in governance ". The arrogance is appalling. Conveniently, those who run against him are imprisoned and harbaded. He always wins the simulated elections.
Like many Eritreans, I am pleased that Prime Minister Abiy has made the bold decision to end the stalemate of the border. As a result, Ginbot7 was legitimized to operate in Ethiopia making its Eritrean presence obsolete. It's a good thing. Supposedly, Ginbot7 was fighting to bring democracy to Ethiopia. How he can claim democracy as his core value while turning a blind eye to the pain of millions of Eritreans enslaved by their mentor defies logic. God saves us from such "democrats".
THE FIRST FACE OF GINBOT7?
Unfortunately, when it comes to the Eritrean people, the "demari" does not seem much better than Ginbot7. It's one thing to offer Isaias the respect that requires diplomacy, but another to act as a stricken teenager idolizing one who embodies the diametrically opposed values that he himself (Abiy ) claims to defend (http://asmarino.com/articles/
Such a display of idolatry can only diminish the stature of Abiy and eventually tarnish his mark. If his brand is truly values-driven, he can not continue to be deaf to the suffering of the Eritrean people. The problem with the populists, is that they look good until they face a critical moment of truth. Yes, it is exciting and I am willing to give it several advantages of doubt. But he clearly failed his first test concerning the Eritrean people.
After all, as a former security officer in Ethiopia, Prime Minister Abiy is fully aware that Isaias is a murderer and that Eritrea is nothing of the kind. 39; other than a slave colony. It is admirable that he acknowledged that his government had committed terrorist acts against the Ethiopian people. After saying this, he can not be blind to the terrorist acts of Isaias for decades on the Eritrean people. And up to now, demariw glorifies the criminal and subtracts the innocent victims. It can not be good. Isaias is human and he will die soon. People live and they remember.
OH, THE HEART WITHOUT HEART
The insatiable narcissist that he is, Isaias is of course out of himself by blowing kisses and squeezing his heart without a heart – a cold heart that kills young and old. Even Haj Musa, 93, had to die in prison. Isaias directs Eritrea as his personal property. Unfortunately, he made it a prostitute nation in his own image, offering Eritrea and himself to the highest bidder. Eritrean pbadports were sold in Kuwait, Qatar and Libya had their day, he dipped in diamond smuggling in Zaire, Iran and the Houthis were his pals at one point, now he's killing them because the Saudis gave him more money. Lackey running to Cairo whenever Ethiopia has met other countries of the Nile water upstream (Egypt is probably already history), Assab is a base foreign military (who would have thought?). Of course, nobody knows the terms of one or the other of its transactions or the other cases to which Eritrea is committed. Some Eritrean islands would be Israeli listening posts, others nuclear dumps. Now, Abiy will bring him even more money to deepen the oppression of the Eritrean people.
There is no problem Isaias can not get worse. He began the 1998 war by claiming that Ethiopia had killed a dozen Eritreans – a manageable problem that he escalated into a devastating war. Does the dozen exist even? If so, who investigated the situation and badyzed the information to evaluate what really happened? Did he install the dozen or send his own killers to liquidate them? As usual, did he kill his former killers to empty the pool of witnesses? And yet, some 100,000 Eritreans and Ethiopians lost their lives, billions of dollars were wasted on Ukrainian and Russian weapons; everything to avenge the deaths of people whose names we do not even know. Does anyone know?
The love party with Abiy is a personal victory for Isaias (she is always personal with him). Although the atmosphere is full of peace, he is already busy cutting through the discord. His "jubilation" directed towards the TPLF is a clear indicator that another game is going on. Alarmingly, the mbad demonstrations supporting Prime Minister Abiy have underlying anti-Tiger bias; who will provide Isaias fuel for his fire. Isaias has committed far too many crimes to make peace with his own people. And any peace that does not include the people of Eritrea and Tigray will not last. Therefore, a lasting peace has no chance as long as Isaiah is there. His record on this subject is long and clear. Dr.Abiy must keep his eyes on the ball (people first) before Isaias trains him to his level.
IS THERE A PATH FOR ERITREA?
Without evidence, Isaias accused the G15 of treason and his supporters encouraged it. What would have been the reaction of his supporters, four months ago, they saw protesters Arbi Harnet chanting " tedrenrenal, and honenal "? As usual, the reaction would have been disgust and ridicule; that the traitors want Eritrea to be again the 14 province of Ethiopia. Now that Isaias is behind this new mantra, I hope his supporters are at least surprised.
The regime's maths become even more bizarre. Osman returned in 1991 to say that the 27 years of Eritrea were wasted ( kesirna ). Isaias did the same by going back to the referendum year of 1993 to say that 25 years were wasted. But the "waste" started in 1998 and should not have lasted more than 2000. Are they saying then that Eritrean independence was useless, especially vis-à-vis their new mantra of "19459023" tedemneral, honenal "Or do they refer to the years since the EPRDF was in power, in which case, when they say" we ", they will speak like Ethiopians. would be strange unless Isaias had already signed Eritrea.The statements of Osman and Isaias would make sense that if they meant "we have made the" Eritrea's independence insignificant by turning it into a slave colony where human life is the least expensive commodity of the country. "But that would be honest and Isaias can never be accused of that.
Is there a way to get out? Until now, supporters of the regime and the opposition have moved away from each other, leaving the field free for Isaias to do what he wants – taking singularly all decisions with harbaded and enslaved messengers rushing to execute his orders. He has become the worst enemy that Eritrea has ever known and getting rid of him is the only way to freedom.
What's missing, it's a "bridge of love" (to borrow the spirit of the day) that can help people think together. If the rotten summit is cast, the PFDJ can be reoriented to become an instrument of "democracy and justice". It is the only entity, inside or outside of Eritrea, endowed with usable organizational resources and experience. There is a good chance that this can be a stabilizing force because if it is completely eliminated as was done with the Baath party in Iraq, the resulting chaos in Iraq and Libya may also be the fate of # 39; Eritrea.
The reason for this suggestion is twofold. First, few people heard of Prime Minister Abiy six months ago. Yet here he is igniting. So, with a redirected focus and a bit of luck, some dynamic young men (men and women, I hope) in the deep belly of Higdef and the diaspora might arise to surprise us as the Prime Minister Abiy said.
Second, Arbi Harnet sought partners inside Eritrea. As a willing and able partner, he can create the necessary alliance with others who join quickly. The resulting big tent can be the inclusive transition team that many have asked for. In the long term, the reorientation higdef should not be a political party in itself, but it can be an incubator for viable party platforms and other ideas useful in the future of the # 39; Eritrea.
