Circa 2010 before sanctions isolated, I ask an Eritrean acquaintance about life in the country and development. He said , the train from Massawa to Asmara was built and maintained by the people and the biggest transformation is the countryside.

He said electricity , roads and water has reached the rural people, but those in the coffeeshops in Asmara were unhappy about freedom.

Even the Maxakamado members who were staying there in 2008 were shocked how clean the city and streets were.

Compare that to the " Jamuuriyada Faalsada Ah"

Ololaha Nadaafadu ma dhamaado tan iyo sideetankii.

 

I am afraid your acquentance has a house there and is member of the party, since there is no medesty in his description let alone truth.

1. Asmara and the part Eritreans brag about is exactly the same as the Italians left it and was their houses, cinemas and shops. Xabeshi were not allowed after 6pm in that Asmara. Some buildings not even paint changed from old pictures and paint chicped windows not closing properly...all that Italian built. The current govt only built one big one and other smaller units named Korea as the builders.

2. Just try calling telephone there. Half the time is not working

3. The whole country has only 100MW at best of times

4. Has 300,000 free labor any time, but are used building homes of colonels and diaspora supporters.

5. There is no religious freedom. Just recently people were gunned down for preventing government taking over school they established themselves.

Dictators have always way of making believe that its all quiet, all orderly, no corruption...etc

 

Until suddenly the bottom falls off and then one wonders how did this happen?

3 years in a row Eritrea per capita was most refugee generating country in the world.

 

Its always good to speak/write modestly even the best of things.

Eritrea  a country that had so much potential destroyed by one man afowerqi this paranoia dictator needs to step down since 1972 he is been abusing the Eritrean people he hijacked the jebha struggle of  elf launched by xamid idris awate i brahiem sultan the Muslim league. His xamasien people were bending over for xayle sellassie like all the xabashi orthodox Christians the union party the tigray tigrinya party of the aqeke quzay folks eastern xabashis of Eritrea who landgtabbed all the cushite saho people. There is not much diferenr between a  xabashi from area shire adrigat . And a xabashi from asmara mandheerra. Their division is based on a lie iyo been ay iska dhaadhiciyeen.  Allah says never take jews and Christians as your frienda.awliyaa  cuduwallahu wa  caduwakum. Nimanan dagaal baa inaga dhexeyaa. Xabashi qudhunle 1964 1977 1982 1911 16 century 12 13 century.  Intaaso oo dhan Somalis and xabashis fought lamana ilaaawi karo. Marka safafka inoo dhadheereye  dhexdana hala xidho the world.and the region is changing and we need to adapt...

Now their Arab masters told them to unite or make peace and they did. We in Somaliland and Djibouti.  Should stand together  I know one thing.  Abysinians are the enemies of Allah  and Somalis  ilaa yawmadiin may Allah protect the Somali peninsula from gaala madow gaala cadcad yo xabashi masiiixi

Afowerqi is not a man of reason he only knows the way of the gun and trenches. That's why all his people are fleeing biggest tahriib epedemic is in Eritrea eastern Sudan.

The country has allot of resources bisha mine  and man power to be a strong country .but this tigrayan mad man knows only how to kill jail Eritrea has no written constitution no parliament no free press  nothing.  It's an absolute Marxist totalitarian state.

Folks, the man was invaded just five years after the independence of 1993. He fought back and defeated Meles and the Ethiopian army. He has survived a twenty years crippling sanctions and isolation. 

The other option was to surrender to Ethiopia and give up the hard fought independence. THe guy never had a chance to develop and prosper. The Eritrean by far are most ingenious in the Ethiopian region. Before the war , the speed of the development was was strong. They even established truck assembly plants. 

With the sanctions and isolation, the country barely survived through hard work and the taxation of the diaspora.

That is what nations do in tough times..In Eritrea, you work hard or you will not survive. It is not like Somali where 80% are unemployed , yet chew QAt and enjoy  life. Life is tough, but they are free unlike us.

I had once employed a couple of Somalis who spent time in Eritrea and by far they were the most hard working people compared to those who transited in Kenya ,and the gulf. They were given work permit and must unload ships to live or else.

galbeedi,

modesty, modesty...that anti-ethiopia is pushing you to loose all perspective.

What do you think awaits any society after such dictatorship? What is in common with Eritrea, Somalia, Albania and Libya?

If Eritrea had won the war, why would he call 2:00AM to clinton to tell Ethiopia to stop.? Why would he agree 25km deep in his country he cannot move army and heavy weapons? Why would he agree UN peacekeepers to be only on his side and not Ethiopian side?

Propaganda when one dictator has full control and what is brewing inside are always different.

BTW why are you repeating that he was invaded when he is the one who started the war and accepted the border commission decision that Eritrea has to compensate Ethiopia. You are making the guy more than he makes himself.

He is a dictator from freedom fighter. Eritreans are as tribal as Somalis. That tribal oppression of some like the Afar and Tigre will explode then you will be shocked.

He just got lucky that UAE and Saudi wanted him/his country for war in Yemen, that is all there is to it. And as bonus he got twice lucky and UAE and Djibouti quarrel.

OO,

you should know better. You do not send 150,000 soldiers to defend a small village " Badame" at the border. No Ethiopian army  would allow 80,000 causality to defend a border post. The idea was to overwhelm the Eritrean defense line and take back Eritrea and the ports. It is clear to us.

Furthermore, you keep talking about dictatorship. The dictators of the horn were not that much different than Afwork.  Djibouti, Sudan Uganda and Ethiopia have and had dictators including Meles who ruled for 21 years with iron fist. Without the war on terror and over 10 billion dollars of aid Ethiopia under Meles could have exploded earlier than many believe.

My point is we have a deep connection with Eritrea since  we both struggled against a colonial project of Ethiopia, Italy and others. 

In fact the people of Eritrea know this. You are probably learned recent history in Wikipedia , but the Eritrean war on independence would not have been possible without weapons, training and logistical help  from the Somali state of seventies and eighties.

That is why the people have lined up in the streets.

This not done for  FArmaajo but for the Somali people. It is people to people relationship 

That is very true, but one sided. We only pick from past history what is good for facebook age. You even forgot what happened in the exchange between Puntland president and Eritrean President. Yes the quarrel was related to ICU, but what they exchanged through media was how it was Eritrean soldiers that did atrocities after the Italians had defeated the Boqor.

The Puntland president happens to be grandson and Isayas happened to be ICU supporter.

But generally since the latest happens to be the Somali support to Eritrea, I agree with you that is in most people mind.

 

But there is no benefit Somalia can gain from Eritrea's activity now. The Best Somalis can hope is that Eritrea will not be active in Somali affairs one way or another unless UAE changes its direction.
