Selam SGhirmai
Thank you for posting your feeling and emotion. Here is my full response.
For sure I am not interested in the security and narrow interests of the
ruling party of PFDJ, and handful bunches sorrounds it. But I am genuinly
concerned about the national interest of Eritrea and its peple as a whole. I
have never joked by suffering and sacrifice of any Eritrean as an individual
or as a group. You can not be more close and concerned than anybody, they
are equal distance for you and for me.
But, my friend the truth is hiding on the other side. When Issayas, Beshir
and Turabi alines (friendship) was on its Hey day, they were tracking and
hunting every footprint of the Eritrean opposition Elements and their member
bases . On January 2, 1992 The Sudanese Brigades from its border and EPLF
forces from its bases launched an attack on ELF/RC and other Eritrean
organizations bases and this fierce fighting took for 17 days. On April
26,1992 the sudanese security forces kidnapped two Executive Committee
members of the ELF and handed them in Tessenei. My dear friend where were you
at that time?? A lot of Eritreans have been fall victims for this
heinous action and they are languishing in undisclosed prison cells,
because the reason is simply that they raise the question of democracy, and
they have different political idea period. Why don't you raise your voice at
that time for their suffering ?? Aren't they your brothers and sisters??
or your judgement is since they don't belong to the party you support they
should be vanished from the world??

(misspelled) you better pay a visit to Asmara; sorry, I forgot the fact that
the ruling party would not give you a visa for you are an opposition
member:-) Let me tell you something, you don't have a tru (misspelled)
picture of the current Eritrea. It is long since the 70's and 80's were gone"
Ha! ...Ha!.. Ha!.. Funny!!! If you are dreaming that I am waiting for a visa
from a dictatorial master Headquarters in Asmara, or its agents trust me you
are thinking an Odd and fooling yourself.
For your surprise I was inside Eritrea after the Independence without
requiring me a visa or an ID. My visa to enter Eritrea is ready any time as
far as I need it. Thanks to the Eritrean revolution rich experience, Eritrea
is not a small purse like any one can put it in his pocket. When the Dergue
was in Asmara and in towns of the country it did not required us to have a
visa for movement my dear friend. I know your headache will flare, but I feel
sorry for you buddy!

"Hagherawi, be frank to yourself, isn't it true a treat to Eritrea if it is
attacked by mersenaries from Tunisia or whatever? You think over it."
Brother! may I add another information that you missed on your statement?
According to Mr. Issayas press release for the Eritrean public and the world
On January 1,1995 The mersenaries were not only from Tunisia, they were also
from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Morroco. So do you want me to believe this
fallacy blindly without analyse it??
History showed us that Mr. Issayas and his group who runs the propaganda
machinery are really tough and creative. They know how to manipulate
peoples' feeling and emotion. They should be credited for that and should be
known as peoples' emotion and backward sentments manipulators. They used it
and they have reached on the helm of a power by this form of tactics. They
used it to strength their diffence line fences and fortified their power
camp. So, do you want every citizen to be shaped or molded on their cult of
wrong character?? Genuine Eritrean patriotic minded heroes would not let them
have it forever. It doesn't mean that these Heroes are only members of ELF
and other political opposition groups, but it includes the Patriotic Heroes
within inside the EPLF who gave their precious life and youth to fulfill the
aspiration of the Eritrean people, and enjoy by the fruit of freedom and
democracy without exception as a whole society, which this holy mission is
deviated by the present regime leaders.
An answer regarding the foreign mersenaries invading Eritrea.
It is sad that the ears of the Eritrean people are hearing the same
historical cycle replica or resemblance of propaganda inherited from
Haileselassie and Mengstu again.
Haileselassie and Dergue were giving a falsified created propaganda for the
Ethiopian people that the Arab Moslems and the "Petro-Dollar mersenaries" are
invading Eritrea and its people " raise your hands and arms to save your
brothers in the north". But they did not give any substantial concrete clue.
We are witnessing the same replica message from Mr. Issayas and his iron grip
ruling party, which they couldn't produce any concrete evidence regarding the
mersenaries from Tunisia, Afghanistan, pakistan and bla bla bla.... It is
strange and causing laughter when our ears heard the same replica of fallacy
and reminds us the old days of the Occupation. This falsification can not
deceive any wise Eritrean person, except the diehard and ardent supporters
who commited to set up their minds as one channel frequency receivers.
The Eritean people are well aware of what is going on especially on the
country's political course. Building roads, 5 Star Hotels, palaces for sale,
could not be a cover up and camouflage for their gross violation of human
rights and their political ugly faces. My friend whether you like it or not
sooner or later the heat is coming up.

Amazing! this is not new for me from ordinary normal person like you, but
this message was conveyed on June 20,1991 when Issayas stepped his foot
first in Asmara at Negheste Saba Stadium. I don't think so that you are
updated and have been given another new message to say.
My friend, regardsless of your emotional anger I advise you not to be a
disaster messenger. In my opinion, again I think so it is better to reconcile
our differences for the best of the country. It is wise and prudent for
political compromise to meet on the half middle of the road for solution. If
you reject to reconcile with your own country men objectively, and want to
continue on denial and alienation their existence, well and fine, let's go on
parallel line, and we will see and wait what the future brings.
You wrote "The Eritrean people rather wants to see persecution ...."
First of all who is the Eritrean People?? could you define it ? Is it the
diehard ruling party PFDJ supporters and the one way cult molded ardent
followers only?? Oh! boy you better be back on your right sense brother,
otherwise you are repeating the same carbon copy of your counterpart "ESEPA"
followers to their country men, so you will pass in history to the similar
path. You should understand that the Eritrean opposition organizations
members are not created out of stone and woods, or they are not aliens
descended from the outer universe. They are born the same like you from the
Eitrean family. Whether you like it or not they have a social base, they have
a sympathy and support from the Eritrean people, and they have also ardent
diehard followers who can respond fire by fire, spear by spear if neccessary.
Your statement is clearly inviting for conflict and violence in the country.
Wodi Haweboy! let me tell you something. Democratic rights is not granted nor
given willingly by any ruling party or system in the world. It is taken by
any form of struggle by the people who wish and demand it.
That's why we want and wish the path process for democratic rights in Eritrea
should be through peaceful means of dialogue and reconciliation, but you and
your favorite ruling party are forcing people to get and take their rights on
the hardest way.
On the conclusion, might be you will wonder and say what a dream it is, but I
assure you that the dream of forming a Government of National Unity in
Eritrea will come true. Then I will pay a visit straight to Asmara on that
bright day. Hopefully I will met you at Godena Harnet and have a wonderful
and peaceful discussion concerning our country. Even though if you choose to
be an opposition at that time, your political stand is respected and
recognized to excercise your full rights. I want to see this type of Eritrea
and this is my dream. We need to each other we don't want any Eritrean to be
singled out and remain outside of his/her country. Our country needs shared
common ideas and efforts from all her sons and daughters, not a dictation and
imposed laws from a Specific circles.
I wish you the best my friend.
Hagherawi
