These "humanitarians" who hear one sell out Eritrean speak of some unfortunate situation (that was probably self inflicted) have no clue what is really going on in Eritrea. They are doing what has been attempted in recent history by many foreign powers- maintain chaos by either war or internal strife. Where were the concerned human rights activists and humanitarians when Ethiopia issued a scorched policy in Eritrea and when our people were slaughtered by the Ethiopians for decades? How about when the poor peasant families were run over by tanks? And pregnant womens' bellies were knifed so as to not produce Eritrean children who will fight against Ethiopians? How about when innocent victims' families had to pay for the bullets used to execute their children? Can Eritrea be left alone for once to A) heal from our painful history and B) to build Eritrea as WE see fit, not as the rest of the world thinks is appropriate???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17639100.post-87265743960111919312009-10-10T08:44:37.834+10:002009-10-10T08:44:37.834+10:00Derek, some of what you say in your article is fac...Derek, some of what you say in your article is factual. However, sadly your sources were highly unreliable in the main. Eritrea and it's Government have tried to remain peaceful since it's independence in 1991. So when you title your article "Eritrea attacks Ethiopia" I find this distortion of the truth unacceptable. Eritrean people are meek yet intelligent and will not be colonised be Europeans or Africans with the support of the Western world. The agenda of the Russians, Italians, English and Americans has always been clear - occupy Eritrea to profit from import and export trade on our coastlines. When will the attack on African democracy stop and ligitamate and fair trade with the world begin? So that Africa may prosper off it's own merits. Where is the level playing field that your democracy harps on about??ephesianshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532711279780651841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17639100.post-48277881757432249372008-12-09T13:00:00.000+10:002008-12-09T13:00:00.000+10:00Who ever wrote this should consider themselves uni...Who ever wrote this should consider themselves uninformed and a true beleiver of propaganda!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00823145171102587756noreply@blogger.com
