Salam Erireans
It seems that some people repeating an abstracted words which make =
nonsense out of objective context, like ID card, duty, law, election, =
constitution and democracy.
The fundamental fact is that no duties without rights and no laws =
without constitution and no constitution without fair representation of =
the population. =20
The problem is that some Eritreans believe that EPLF represents whole =
Eritreans which is not true, because in general a single Organazation =
or party can not represent the whole population, if population didn't =
represented then we can't talk about democracy, constitution and law, =
because the ruling based on (whether you like it or not). I hope that is =
not the case in our country in future. =20
So being ruling the country doesn't mean representation of the =
population and opposing non elected government doesn't mean you are not =
citizen, based on this I want to clarify this points:
1- There is no National ID card, the ID card people talking about is =
EPLF ID card (read carefully what is written on it) that is why some =
Eritrean refuse to hold it.
2- Most Eritrean accepted to hold The EPLF ID card to come around the =
referendum trap despite the believe that the referendum contradict 30 =
years of national straggle (that's show how much Eritrean cares about =
their country)
3-Eritrean people gave every thing for their country since 1947 =
including their lives, I don't believe that they have problem with =
paying (2%), they are aware that mach more to be paid in various forms, =
the problem is with EPLF behaviour towards national principles .
4-The EPLF government has right to make rules and enforce that rules to =
manage the country until the constitution is introduced, but these rules =
doesn't stand against the basic rights in any way.=20
5-EPLF by introducing ID and 2% they simply excluding non supporting =
Eritreans from constitution process, that's ensure the suspicions toward =
EPLF's intentions which is not in best interest of Eritrean future.=20
