It has happened and it was real. Finally, the Eritrean
people’s dream came true. The amount of the priceless
blood, which they have shed for over thirty years, has
made history. Some called it miraculous. Some called it
God’s order. Some called it EPLF’s determination. Some
called it the Eritrean superior heroism. I called it all
of the above. It empowered me with pride for having
taken a tiny bite of it in the historic super journey.
On this day, I remember my past – all in my dear country
among all of my compatriots _ the proud people.

Border Issue:
·Please

Fare.

1. The government has been saying year after
year, life will get better, Eritrea is
heading in the right direction, we will be
able to become self-sufficient (in
particular in the food sector) in the near
future, despite these promises people are
suffering from lack of water, electricity
and other basic essentials in Eritrea
especially in Asmara, why?

.Constitution: Now that the border is
virtually demarcated, why cannot we
implement the Constitution we dearly paid
for—at the cost of 100,000 golden martyrs?
Implementing the Constitution means that all
Eritreans will abide by Law and all of us
will do our obligation so as to have our
rights respected.

question is about the future of the country
because we don't have a vice president. We
don't have a functioning parliament and we

party.

Why the Eritrean government does not
implement the constitution?
Saturday, May 18, 2013 4:19:50 PM .. The national service program has been
a safeguard to Eritrea’s sovereignty.
However, the indefinite national service is
pushing our brothers and sisters to leave
the country through illegal means, depriving
the country its productive youth. Why not
allow those who already served for many
years to lead a normal life and call them
when they are needed? What is the use of
giving them the choice of desert or at the
front? Don’t you think that is hurting the
country?

The Eritrean Youth Solidarity for Change (EYSC) has been
beset by acrimonious disputes among its board members
over some issues. This is regarded by all well-wishers
of the organization—indeed by most Eritreans–as
unfortunate and that a resolution must be found.
Consequently, some members of the board as well as
well-wishers of the organization requested the[...]

Sheila Keetharuth, the Special Rapporteur on the human

Sanctions are a favored means to exercise pressure on a state without

Has sanctions created the Wagenburg,
(circle the wagons)
mentality in Eritrea?
Sanctions
can also strengthen the targeted regime. In authoritarian states that have no
free media, the government can blame economic problems on sanctions and thereby
strengthen its support among the population.
"It's called the Wagenburg mentality," said Christian von Soest. "That means
that everyone comes together in the face of a common enemy. In this situation,
you get exactly the opposite of what you actually want to achieve - resistance
against the regime."
