A DISGRACE DICTATOR AND HIS DISGRACFULL SUPPORTERS IN DIASPORA

The past weeks were like repeating and living the history of 50’s all over again – being pro or against. This time, there was Kinijit, Meskerem.net, Alenalki, Dehai, Shabait.org and others on the side of demonstration, advertising and agitating people to participate and to make it a success. Meskerem.net went even further by telling its readers that it’s their constitutional right and that anyone who dares to stand against them is like going against the US constitution. What a mockery! As if our people back at the homeland are living under constitutional rule of law. And then there was the silence of those “united under Ali Salim”, taking neither side on the issue of demonstration, but who, in earlier months, invested their resources bashing and trashing the democratic parties of the oppositions and were so good in polarizing the country in lowland vs. highland division, both geographically and religiously, tearing down the long standing tradition and fabric of our culture of unity and tolerance from their comfort zones, behind their key boards, simply to satisfy their egos.

On the other side there were the people’s web-sites like Harnnet.org, Asmarino.com, Assenna.com and Togoruba.org, objectively analyzing that no one will benefit from this demonstration except the dictator to elongate his stay on power to strangle our people, and so politely and kindly asked the Diaspora people to refrain from attending this misguided demonstration and to stand alongside their oppressed people. At any rate, the demonstration has come and gone. At a time when the Eritrean people are in dire need of support from their kin abroad to free themselves from the tyranny breathing down their neck, those soulless, heartless Diasporas, from their warm comfort of their homes in the United States, have been ranting to save the Dictator from his shameful outlook and failure to deliver prosperity, liberty and freedom that the people yearned for since independence. It’s sad to witness these self-centered opportunist Eritreans in Diaspora out there in the streets of the western cities telling the world their stupid, ignorant and insane leader, as was just heard in Al Jazeera with Jane Dutton, was not to be blamed and that the Eritrean problem doesn’t deserve UN sanction. There is no doubt that these PFDJ supporters in Diaspora, who devoted their time, energy and money to attend the demonstration to serve this dictator and save him from shame, will be remembered as traitors in the annals of the Eritrean history.

Their desperate attempts and moves were failure. The world communities are more than aware of this most secretive mafia government in the world. The UN and AU have ample documented evidences related to its various evil activities and interferences in Somalia and Djibouti, thus destabilizing the entire region. The dictator is also aware of the fact that the democratic struggle is taking foothold around the world and his days are numbered; and herby is trying to divert the attention to buy some breathing time to recalculate his next moves and to solicit few hard currency from the poor souls. Majority of Eritrean people living abroad are organizing themselves to expose the atrocities taking place in their country; as a result, panic has taken hold of the dictator and his clique and thus has started to beg and intimidate his blind followers in Diaspora to come out against the UN sanction which he earlier has denied of its relevance and its effectiveness on him and his henchmen. He will soon be a virtual prisoner within that big prison he has created. Soon, neither him nor his viceroy messengers would be able to travel anywhere for any reason anymore.

The oppressed Eritrean people back home understand these steps as being in their favor to hasten their freedom from tyranny. What is mindboggling is why those Eritrean Diaspora living in the free world do not understand the dismal condition of the very society they came from; a condition imposed on them by the tyrant Isaias!? How much does it take to understand the absence of rule of law and accountability? How much does it take to see the mass exodus of young generation crossing the Eritrean border seeking refugee elsewhere? To give deaf ear to such matters of high importance and not be ready to answer the desperate call of the Eritrean people and, to the contrary, to heed to the dictator’s call is a deliberate act of treason and contempt of the wellbeing of Eritreans.

We will prevail!!
