Just a comment to everyone who served during independent war and post independent time:
I am beginning to sense that anyone and everyone just points at Mr Isayas. Of course Mr Isayas is a leader and has to own it up but everyone of these people, (let me say this first – thank you for your other services), did just bailed out rather than eliminating the issue or working the issue. If these many people have left Eritrea for the situation was getting difficult then why not exercise their “military” options. Now, we are getting exhausted listening to the same iTune sounds.
Also, everyone keeps repeating this…”after all the time person X gave his/her time for Eritrea and supported Mr Isayas but not get a fair legal system in Eritrea.” It is a military system and you all know that if you cross the leader then the outcome would be deadly. I think this is a universal path within any military junta. My point is – why do these people bail out and not handle the issue using similar tool?
These kind of story telling needs to be written in books. What Eritrea needs now is what can be done and plan for tomorrow.
‘..why do these people bail out and not handle the issue using similar tool?’.. Mike, you said you are a late comer to the game in your previous post as I recall, indeed you are, no offence. Historically, there was only one organization who called him early for what he is- anti- revolutionary (dida sewra) and took a shot at him militarily but succumbed to him and his cousins along the brothers and sisters who you are calling ‘story tellers’, or ‘iTune sounds’ today. The is a deeper and more sinister reason for this protracted complicity and inaction by those who served the ‘El Duce’, until these skeletons is exhumed, sorted out and reconciled, ‘abu sheneb’ will continue to own the gavel. Since that day innocent blood was spilled among brothers, the Eritrean landscape was permanently altered and brother Mike I don’t blame you for not being there. The grim scenario you witness today along the strange posturing of those who were wronged has its roots in the nation’s belly, you don’t continue living your life while your father, mother, your beloved daughter, sister, brother… are literally decaying alive..
Gotcha Sir! Understood and it is deep. Late comer indeed! If I could borrow someone’s saying….it hurts like a “bastard”. Growing up in a society, if I might add, shaped by what is fair and square system, and + longing for peace to all Eritreans makes some of us search for that elusive “star” or “aha moment” or like the one written for the ages in the Golden Book as in ” the road to Damascus moment” for this crumbling nation. The fact is that for some of us the Eritrea that was told and heard from a distance with stories after stories seems to have never……but hope never dies and result is always in the shadow 🙂
Well, ‘time’ is simply defined by the arms within a clock and seems something we cannot sense but I encourage you to use the time you may have at hand in changing the hearts and minds of those near and dear to you. Let me sail to my serenity for now with my rusty Italian and something I remember that could work in this case using El Duce’s own words….. ‘Alora, meglio vivere come un leaone che 100 anni come una pecora’, El Duce.
