The world population has
become accustomed to the daily headline news of war, terrorism and
destruction. Questions are not being asked as to why the bad news has
become our daily deafening noise. Many are being recruited to
orchestrate stories and wage wars between countries, groups and clans.
The world seems to be ‘ruled’ by one ‘superpower’ that is invading
countries, bending the rules and imposing sanctions on those nations
that “refuse to obey”. There is war in every corner of the world more
than any time since the Second World War and many seem to grow hatred
and animosity towards this so called ‘superpower’ nation and are looking
to take vengeance on behalf of their people who are being unfairly
treated.
Instead of looking for solutions some corrupt lobbyists and wanna be
politicians who barely know their geography are deteriorating the
situation. Human traffickers are taking advantage of vulnerable citizens
who are looking to cross to the western countries for a “better life” by
charging up to $12,000 per person. The third world and particularly many
African counties have been buried in a deep hole and their resources are
being emptied and people have become salves in their own countries that
they cannot decide their future and have no say about their present. Its
a vicious circle.
Eritrea has chosen the hard, but the right way and this is for a very
good reason. Eritreans went through so much of hardship looking for
everlasting freedom. Eritreans gave their life so that coming
generations would not be trapped in the vicious circle. When Eritreans
were fighting for their freedom, some of the servants so called
‘lobbyists’ and ‘ambassadors’ in the United Nations were perhaps
enjoying hip-hop in some ghetto corners of USA. These servants had no
brains to stand for the African Americans who were swept by tornado in
New Orleans when the administration of George W Bush left them for dead,
but they are front line warriors when it comes to bullying and
intimidating the weak and poor nations in Africa. I can confidently say
that, these ‘House Negros’ did not even know the existence of Eritrea
until the last few years.
It is a blessing to come out of a solution oriented people and
leadership. The realistic and cautious approach to the nation building
process has made Eritrea the stable country in one of the most turbulent
area of the world. Not bowing to the outside pressure has helped Eritrea
prevail in the last ten years. Every prediction by the leadership has
turned out to be the reality. And now the approach of cleaning up your
neighbourhood will only be productive for the future. By not getting
involved in the satanic conspiracy in Somalia, Eritrea has stood high
with pride as every operation by the invaders is failing. Earlier on,
Eritrea predicted that the invaders and their servants would only get
stuck in quagmire and that is exactly what is happening now.
Looking for solutions would still have been the best option today.
Eritrea would gladly forgive and move on taking the rest of Africa with
her to the right direction. As they say “Confidence is contagious, but
so is lack of confidence.” The confidence of Eritrea could only inspire
others to follow suit. But if Ethiopia or Uganda represent Africa, then
it’s all downhill.
Fixing the badly bent and nearly broken situations in the world and
particularly in the horn of Africa is the only option and that is by
leaving Africans to solve their own problems and helping them without
any hidden agendas. This would only mend the broken hearts and would
make the world a better place. But intimidation and bullying has been
chosen as a solution and Eritrea is picked on only because the failures
in the horn of Africa region were exposed and all their satanic work has
failed.
If the past mistakes are going to be rectified then acknowledging them
is the first step forward. Instead of admitting the lies about “weapons
of mass destruction” in Iraq more lies are being told. Those leaders
like George W Bush and Tony Blair who committed crimes against the world
had gotten away without being tried at the International Criminal Court
in the Hague.
The ludicrous part of all is accusing Eritrea of providing arms to the
Somali groups. Now as they say “fool me once shame on you fool me twice
shame on me”. The US administration has provided and is providing tones
of arms to Somali warlords and the servant Ethiopian soldiers to serve
its purpose. These arms remained in Somalia and are in the hands of
Somalis. A small and poor country like Eritrea has neither the
capability nor the need to provide arms to others. Eritrea tried to help
solve the situation in Somalia realistically by setting up a
comprehensive dialogue between Somalis as it is the only way to the
final solution. Sheik Sherif Ahmed the so called president of the
Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia was one of the
“blacklisted” Somalis by the US administration and was in Asmara
attending the Somali congress until he was bribed to become a servant.
The question then, what has the involvement of outsiders in the Somali
affairs achieved? The answer is, Somalia has become one of the most
dangerous place on earth. This is a very dangerous occurrence in the
horn of Africa and Eritrea has a big role to play in changing this grave
situation for the better. The USA and Barak Obama’s administration
should look at Eritrea as the only solution in the horn and they should
work in partnership with the Eritrean people and leadership.
Sanctioning Eritrea would not solve anything except empowering Eritrea.
During the 30 year freedom war, when Eritreans fought against the
Ethiopian colonisers who were armed by the then Soviet Union, the mental
strength was what they were equipped with. They knew their destination
and they knew how to get there. They never knelt down, but they faced
their enemy with intelligence and to the dismay of those who dismissed
them, they completely destroyed the biggest army Africa has ever seen.
They also helped the present minority leaders of Ethiopia to Addis Ababa.
The vision was to create a peaceful and prosperous horn of Africa region
that can work together. The minority servants in Ethiopia were blinded
by a few Dollars and turned on Eritrea and history repeated itself.
Eritreans repelled the attack inflicting heavy losses on the minority
Ethiopian junta.
Eritrea always chose peaceful solutions because eye for an eye will only
make the world blind.
“Those who declared death on Eritrea have died and Eritrea is still
there and those who are declaring death on
Eritrea will die and Eritrea will always be there.” Yemane Gebreab.
God/ Allah Bless Eritrea.
Glory to the Eritrean Martyrs.
