<<< Shoans still refuse to recognize the liberation of Eritrea
and still find it non-palatable to accept that they are no more
the ruling class with Amhara supremacy although the power now is
in the hands of the Oromo/Tigrai coalition. In the same manner,
our brother Ismail finds it unpalatable that ELF did not succeed
to establish itself as the power with Arab backing for muslims. >>
<< They feel now they are lowered to lesser position in Eritrea and,
like Shoans, he has found it unpalatable that EPLF has achieved
what was needed - independence of Eritrea. >>>
Mr. Fisseha, the analogy you made above, between Shoans and muslims
(Eritreans) is inappropriate, to say the least.
The independence of Eritrea, has been a victory for muslims as well.
Successive colonial rulers in Eritra, have tried to keep the people
devided along religious and ethnical lines, creating different levels
of development and cultural gaps. However, the referendum results
clearly show that these colonial policies did not succeed.
The ELF, that now some people talk about it as an "islamic"
organization, was also a secular organization.
