Eritrea Ruler: Tyranny Is There To Stay!

(Adopted from Eritrea Daily)

Speaking via his personal emissary in Israel, Mr. Tesfamariam Tekeste, Eritrea ruler, Isias Afewarki, reiterated that the Status Quo in Eritrea, out-and-out tyranny is there to stay and that he is not ready for democracy! Afewarki made the statement in a special interview with the Israeli media outlet Ynetnews posted to the web today.

"One mustn't force democracy on those who are not ready," "We are building ourselves now. We want to rely on our own resources and become independent."

"We are being blamed for not being a democratic country and having no free press. But one must work on education, clean water and employment to be ready for democracy, and that's what we're working on now." the ambassador told Ynetnew.com.

Eritrea tyrant and his foot soldiers consider declaring Eritrea as 'not ready for democracy' as bravado when such declaration is only testimony to the oppressive and suppressive nature of tyrant Afawarki's stronghold on our country!

Moreover, Mr. Tesfamarian told Ynetnews that Eritrea tyrant will not accept Eritrean citizens who are deported against their will from Israel!

“Eritrean Ambassador to Israel Debbas Tessamariam Tereste told Ynet that Israel should have turned away the first infiltrator as early as 2006, adding that his country will not accept citizens who were deported from Israel against their will.”

"if someone is forced to return from Israel against their will we shall refuse."

"These are people with different dreams and expectations, they will undermine national morale and bring back with them frustration and bitterness resulting from the great cultural differences" Mr. Tesfamaiam added.

Eritrea tyrant's refusal to accept Eritrean refugees to their own homeland is equally not a bravado either but fortifies and validates Eritrean refugees political asylum claims against the tyrannical reign of Afewarki. Only in Eritrea is that possible. How do you deny people of their own Homeland? No one applies for political asylum against his own Homeland but against the government? And if refugees are deported to their country of origin willingly or against their will, there are laws that regulate their behaviour and activities? Bad behaviour, moral cultural differences cannot be grounds to deny refugees of their own homeland!

  2. These are not leaders just a bunch of uneducated, semi-literate, ex-guerrilla fighters who spent their best years(30 years) in mountain and who after been in power 20 years haven't realized that they don't have the genuine skills required run a civil society in domestic or international stage.
    They haven't left the mountains and they never will because that all they know...

    Majority of Eritreans at home and in diaspora are just waiting for them to die- or should I say praying for them to die.
