Selam Dehai community

Once Wedi Tukul, the best revolutionary songs singer, said " Na'y Zom
Kal'e Zikone Mukone Na'y Zom Hademti Gerimuni Ane" (please help Hard to
transilate)

And the President of Eritrea, concerning to the widely perceived
notion that ALL EPLF Fighters were heros, said " Wala Ab Meda wn Kndey
ZurZur MeAnta Alo". If I could transilate this... " Even At the field,
there are many whimps ".

Having said this, one should not be surprised or discoureged by the
recent call for " Vow to Silence" or defect from Dehai community. In our
long struggle, we have wittnessed countless defections to the enemy side,
to Sudan, to EPLF/ELF and so on.

Why do people defect or run away from such a thing? I do not have to go
into detail as the reasons can be too many, but I have to tell this to
those persons who feared that they may lose some of the Dehai members....
Let them go.... It is a good decision for them. " If you can't resist the
heat, get the X of the Kichen". Kndey ZurZurat Manta Meyeda Gedifom Keidom
Eyom. They coudn't resist Hunger, long walk on foot, excessive heat and
cold. And It is not surprising to see people run from such an issue.
