Hi BENIAM

Most of Eritrean people has enough experience and education to judge the
situation not only in our country but also around the whole region, so
any attempt to underestimate Eritrean will be sort of ignorance .
Now you have listed what you called facts, and facts normally proved
by evidences, what evidence you have ? you gave us none, certainly your
word isn=92t enough or western interest generated policy which kept
describing us as separatists and our struggle as terrorism . So if you
have an evidence please enlighten us , if it is matter of opinion every
body has one , and it doesn=92t make any sense to push a country in the
war to satisfy your opinion and that=92s shows how mach you care about
Eritrean people.
