A good Leadership is a facilitator and provider of a better living and
better future. Good leaders promote new directions such as better
products and services and they open doors to everyone who is able to
show a good leadership and this means that leaders manage as much as
lead. At present, many nations in the world are suffering under a very
bad leadership. The most ‘powerful’ nation in the world in USA has
suffered a very embarrassing and damaging eight years under the
leadership of George W Bush and Americans have a very long way to change
this negative image they have inherited. Is Obama the right person to
lead American achieve this mountainous task? We will have to wait and
see. The UK leadership has suffered embarrassing corruption issues in
the last few months. These corrupted UK government members were exposed,
but how about those who were not exposed? How much corruption did go
under the bridge?
Last week I followed the interview of President Isaias Afewerki with the
financial times with great interest. President Isaias and his colleagues
in the Eritrean Government have one mission and this mission is to
prepare a strong Eritrea for the coming generations. The clear and
transparent vision of this leadership is being put into practice.
Staying independent physically and mentally is the only way forward and
I thought the President did well as usual. The question about Somalia
took half of the time during the interview. The turbulent poor country
is being terrorised and since Clinton administration was chased out of
the country during early 1990s, Eritrea’s stand was consistent. Somalis
can only solve their own problems. External interference should only
help bringing all factions to one table. How can one support a
nonexistent Government? How can USA and UK accuse Eritrea of fuelling
the situation in Somalia while they are actually arming war lords in
Somalia and the invading soldiers of Ethiopia?
These questions should be raised by those who are ‘representing’ Africa.
The mute organisation by the name of ‘African Union’ has sadly become a
servant of those who have geopolitical agenda and therefore it is partly
weakening Africa. This ‘Organisation’ does speak when it’s told to do so
and keeps quiet when it is ordered to do so. Is it really capable of
leading Africa in progressing to a better future? Clearly not. A bunch
of clueless fainthearted corrupted lames get together and take orders.
When they are told to jump, without any hesitance they ask how high.
Why are most African nations tapped in a very narrow hole and it has
become impossible for them to free themselves? It is only because they
failed to prepare. One leadership goes and another one follows, but the
same story of war, poverty, destruction, disease etc. If mistakes are
made then it should be only right to rectify them. The question comes to
all the failed leaders in Africa that, why is this simple logic not
clear to them. For instance, if you spent 17 years fighting to bring
‘Democracy’ in Ethiopia, then being a tool or a puppet should be the
very last thing in your mind. You become progressive as you don’t want
to be trapped in the narrow hole of destruction. The sleazy prime
minister of Ethiopia and his gangs would change their story everyday
only to please those masters who are paying their pocket money. In this
case, there is no leadership in Ethiopia, because the Weyane thugs are
not leading Ethiopia, but facilitating for those who are weakening the
country. The same story in Djibouti, Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria etc.
The satisfactory truth about Shaebia or the Eritrean leadership is that
it has learned and assessed the situations in the world and particularly
in Africa and has decided to follow the right path to development i.e.
starting from scratch and building the way up. For example Grass roots
democracy, installing basic necessities such as clean water, clinics,
schools, roads etc in every corner of the country. Without being swayed
by short-lived fantasies and concentrating on the reality, the
leadership has proven to stabilise Eritrea in many ways. When the third
offensive on Eritrea by the thugs in Ethiopia (backed by those who have
geopolitical agenda) was foiled 9 years ago, another conspiracy to
divide and dismantle the strong and united Eritrean identity was
orchestrated. Unfortunately some Eritreans including some leaders were
corrupted into becoming tools. Had that evil attempt succeeded, we would
now have Eritrea which is similar to Kenya, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Uganda,
Nigeria and the rest. The diligence of this leadership has managed to
quash this evil and deadly virus (before it infected many others) and
carried on rebuilding Eritrea.
No other nation and certainly not USA and UK have right neither are they
qualified to lecture Eritrea about democracy, freedom of press,
corruption, social justice etc. Without saying much, if we look at the
track records of those nations that are being lectured by USA and UK;
then Eritrea gladly says thank you but NO thank you. We don’t want your
hypocritical lectures.
A very few power thirsty Eritreans who are stubbornly blinded by
personal hatred, greed, sick and narrow regionalist dividing ideologies
do scream every now and then. Scream of failure. Those failures such as
Huriy Tedla Bairu, Bereket Habteslasie, Adhanom Gebremariam, Abdela Adem,
Mesfun Hagos and their tools Saleh Gedi, Tesfaldet Meharena, the mad man
Amanuel Iyassu, the regionalist imbecile Isseyas Asfeha, the frustrated
and attention seeking Elsa Chrum and some others (not even worth
mentioning their names) self proclaimed puppets who satisfy their sick
mentalities by writing laughable jokes on websites, have accepted their
failure and are already contemplating their lonely lives ahead.
Eritrea is represented by over 4.5 million Eritreans. Except those
(around fifty in number) failures, Eritreans inside and abroad are
working for the good of their country. They assured the existence of
their nation and now they are continuing to build it. Hundreds of
thousands of young men and women are defending, rebuilding and
representing by keeping their promise to those who were martyred before
them. Every little from everyone is making a very huge positive
difference. With the forward thinking, visionary and diligent
leadership, the future is bright.
More rain and everlasting peace in Eritrea.
Wisdom and Strength to the Eritrean Leadership.
Glory to the Eritrean Martyrs.
