I see many brilliant brains are come together to justify and validate the action of the mad man of Eritrea. That is a huge waste of brains and resources. Eritrea is simply a reflection of one arrogant, chauvinist, mentally unstable and hateful dictator. That is all it is. From the beginning Eritrea remains the reflection and the fiefdom of the Essays. Before the independence it was Essays and after independence the same person who single handedly set the agenda of the nation and the issues of peace and war. All other issues are derivatives emanating from the action of a single despotic leader. Turn off Essays and the whole power configurations in the horn will be transformed.   

 

Your refusal and denial to see the wholesale destructions of this man on the people of Eritrea and greater horn is one of the contributing factors that allow the flourishing of dictatorial rule in Eritrea. Your blind and unjustified support to the Eritrean dictator deprived the whole horn region peace, stability and development. Excusing the dictator is the denial of justice and is nothing but collaboration with crimes committed against the people of Eritrea and regional countries. So far your understanding of the region lacks accuracy, facts and totally biased and designed to inflame and polarize the people of the horn more than ever before. To blame Ethiopia for the ills and misdeed of the Eritrean dictator is utterly nonsense.

 

Human rights violations, lack of democracy, justice, and elections in Eritrea has nothing do with Ethiopia. This is purely the actions and the decisions of   the Eritrean dictator. The demarcation of the border or lack of it would not change the behaviors of the rouge regime. The boarder has never been and will never be an issue which make and break the relations of the two and regional countries. It is and is the actions and the behavior of a single man and his mad groups responsible for all these. Do you remember what Hitler and Mussolini did to their society?  Individuals can make and break their society.  You chose and deliberately avoided to tackle the issues of Eritrean leadership and rather provided support and comfort for their heinous crimes committee by the dictatorial regime in Eritrea on its people and others.   The sad thing is you taken the side of the Eritrean dictator and used Ethiopia as scapegoat for the failures of Eritrean regimes. Hence, your actions cover the real issues and continue to exasperate the problems more than ever before. Your brilliant collections of brains could not answer a simple answer which posed again and again. How you deal with arrogant person who refused to discuss with any one, real and legitimate issues dear and near to the millions of people?  

 

Whether you like it or not, whether the dictators like it or not, civil dialogue, discussions and rapprochements with its people and adversaries are the only way out.  The problems of demarcation and all other issues require honest and deliberate dialogue among the countries in order to have a lasting and sustainable peace. Your stand no demarcation no peace is flawed and is the recipe for disaster. It seems all these brilliant brains came together to embolden the dictator and justify his brutal actions on his people. In short you are saying Ethiopia is responsible for the emergence of the dictator in Eritrea. The fact of the matter is that, this dictator is there long before the independence.   Before and after the independence your contributions for this rouge and undemocratic forces indeed negatively contributed for the emergence and the entrenchment of dictators in Eritrea. Do you know those individuals, none governmental organizations, church groups and shadowy groups who deal and wheal on behave of the Eritrean regimes? All of you collectively created a myth and unruly groups who bend to bring their society to abyss.

 

You and your likes are responsible for the emergence of these negative forces in the past and again and again come to defend it. You see yourself and your images in the Eritrean regimes and you find it very difficult to accept any kind of responsibility except blaming Ethiopia for everything. Honestly, you are part of the problem and should stay away and leave the issues of peace and war to the people of the region.
