well, I havent heard him of talking about the OPDO and other parties of the EPRDF. He was pretty much in to TPLF and wish he was more collaborative and diplomate on some issues...you can not be sure and certain to say behalf of the country that the people are not any more after change ..not after any political party that is a littile bit aggravating for some individuals...but most of all He was very polite andunderstanding, in particular very knowldgable of the TPLF. We owe him of his life time struggle and achievement for the better of our country.

I thought he was an outstanding politician from listening to his interview. He was very careful, even in choosing his appropiate words to explain ideas. What suprised me more is the similarity with the PM in how he tried not to be bugged down into little nitty gritty of questions ask from the audiences.

As experienced politician, he was never direct with his answers as well.

He is very smart, of course my opionion.

I love the way he handled the issue of Eritrea including the access to the sea port.

He answered in a realist mannter in contrast to the diaspora barking about access to the sea port without found knowledge of the past.

Thanks AIGA

sorry aiga, the first one was posted by mistake. please ignore it. thanks

I have heard his interview and his description of the messed up Eritrean society is the most interesting thing he said. no one could have said it better. had eritreans known their true self, they wouldn't have fought 30 years to get NOTHING. when i say nothing I mean nothing cos it is the law of gravity that Eritrea can't sustain their current position towards Ethiopia. fair enough that they rightly or wrongly wanted to be independent, for 5 million mostly illiterate war mongers to try and intimidate 80 million people is a dream to far.

I was one of the Eritrean from Sweden attending Aboy Sibhat’s interview he said ‘...the innocent hard working Eritrean people and separate from regime by pretending that Ethiopia takes care about the Eritrean more than one state of man...’ this is implies from Aboy we are humble families and Eritreans and Ethiopians are brothers and sisters And Both countries will remain sisterly and peacefully 4-ever.
I thanks once again Aboy Sibhat bringing the people together!

I know Gashey Wolde Sellassie {aboy sebhat} since he was in service back when he was AA university student , known for talking the truth. I have a pleasure and lucky enough to be his student and knowing him for long. He is known as a person of principle and dignity. I wish he comes to the Bay area. What he said about eritrean and issais is right on the money, the rest is history forget the Gimm butts [Gimbot] and other puppets of shabia. Please invite this great person to the bay area. Thank you. By the way he taught me at Gohatsion elememtary school and he is like a father to me.

Hey never trust rebel leaders....miskin hizbi metsaweti kilte seleste sebat koynu...

Meles, Esayass, Sebhat ...all same

He sounds a good diplomat, but at times, he looks more interested about the Eritreans that the affairs at home.

As a Tigrian from Adwa, I totaly disagree with Aboy Wolde Selassie - Aboy Sebhat- .He is telling us to go to war to recover Asab. He was the designer and main person to admit Eritrea seperate from the motherland. We can not always tell lies. We have to goforewards not backwords. The only problem is the Eritrean Regime not the country and the people. Aboy Sebaht can tot be The Mesaya to save the Eritrean people. The Eritreans have to decide by themselves what to do.
OH GOT SAVE US FROM THE WAR PLANED BY ABOY SEBHAT AND EPRDF.

Aboy Sebhat need to be recognized as one of the vanguard TPLF leaders. He spent his whole life for a cause that he believes on.

On the other hand, Aboy Sebhat will be remembered for his reluctant stand on Ethiopia and Ethiopians. This is particularly true when it comes to the relation with Eritrea. I heard him criticizing Isayas and Shaebia. But he was the one who suggested to surrender ZALAAMBESSA in order to please Shaebia. Even now, he is trying to justify TPLF's plan to Eritreans without saying a word for the property and life of Ethiopians. He said, "there is no democratic government in Eritrea and we will not expect any improvement to Ethiopians and their property in Eritrea. But we will return Eritrean property and will allow them to work like any Ethiopians in Ethiopia." Is it foriegn policy or regional policy?
Sorry, Aboy Sebhat, this will be part of your history.

I'm absolutely certain that Isayas will find what Sebehat said about him will be the major reaon for his downfall sooner or later when our brother and sister Eritreans wake up to the reality.

Aboy Sebhat made numerous points on his short interviews just to name ome of these.....
. He left the Eritrean regime naked infort of his people. He helped brain washed Eritreans by their reigme to know that are the most back ward in Africa. "If they do not know where they are they can not move an inch."
. The Assab Card for mischevious political gain aborted it as usual.
. The Ethiopian Fedral Union is strong and can even accomodiate Sudan and Somalia leave alone Eritrea under the will of the people.
. He proved EPRDF's Principles are un bentable even during bad times, like ignoring the orders of super powers not to march to Addis in 1991.
. The disgranted Oppents in Ethiopia manuplated by Shaibia stationed in asmera can convince only few mad Ethiopians.
. The "militay might" of shabia was proved none existant and is clear to all now.
Now I know how the talent of aboy Sebhat, PM Meles and others has contibuted towards the success of the vangard fronts T.P.L.F and E.P.R.D.F

the ananaymous

By saying that his front is revsiing the fate of Assab in public...he officialy declared war on Eritrea! In his watch , thausands of tigrayns died while he never set his foot in the battle..As Aregawi and others , they will tell you about this snake like man...Now who is going to die for his new advenbture to Assab?

Sebhat never participated in any war..infact he never even puleld a trigger. As soon as he joined the struggle, given his education , he was directed to his offcie...never led a war..

Sebhat Nega is often mentioned as the father of TPLF. It was because of this claim that I decided to listen to his interview. To be honest I expected to hear an interview with substance. However what I heard from him was not only discouraging but also hopeless. It forced me to ask my self, is this the person who claimed to defend Eritreans from any outside attack? Why is he calling them now economically and politically backward? When I started comparing the previous and the new interviews it made me more confused. It made me remember what the head of the state of Eritrea once said. He said even from its inception Woyane did not have any vision. I am afraid that his claims might be very true. However Sibhat Naga’s insult of the Eritrean people may have come from hopelessness. Now Sibhat Naga knows he can not dictate Eritrea. As a matter of fact this shows Eritrea emerged as a winner. I am almost sure that Eritrea’s friendship with the other Ethiopian organizations is going to be a big head ache to woyane. On the other hand Woyane knows the so called Eritrean opposition groups in Addis will not deliver what woyane wants to get, new government in Eritrea. Through time Woyane Madness could aggravate and may lead to provoking Eritrea into another war. Yet that is also another disaster as it will facilitate woyane downfall. I am very hopeful those woyane days in power maybe dwindling. However it is very important to be cautious and remain on guard

I have got a feeling that despite all the positives economic and political progresses made in Ethiopia, the handling of Eritrean issues is what is going to bring EPRDF down. They just don't seem to have a clear agenda when it comes to Eritrea. In one hand, they preach Eritrea's independence, in the other hand they babysit them by giving them the same lollipop as an ethiopian. Isn't that why prior to the so called independence over 150 thousand Ethiopinans died? to convince Eritreans to be part of us? why allow people who left no stone unturned to destroy Ethiopia to have their cake and eat it? they are neiter ethiopian or they are not. they can't have it both ways.

I agree with Alemayehu, No need of WAR please !!!!!!!!

well i have heard of him saying about eritrean.He is pro eritrean. he is very diplomate and exceptional.These leaders created generation who is ready to die let me say this word again ready to die.but pro eritrean.nothing is without side effect so they taker of eritrean.

I have heard the interviews Given by PIA and aboy sebhat.Absolutely different.the one of president Issayas Afework was very harsh and undiplomatic.His words looked as if comes from ashifta(bandit),Rather than aPresident of the state of Eritrea.To the contrary the interview of Aboy sebhat was very smooth ,diplomatic and realstic,and very responsible. thank you sebhat you tried to minimize non sense conflicts in your interview.

As one of the few founders of TPLF from it's inception to the day "Aboy Sebhat need to be recognized as one of the vanguard TPLF leaders. He spent his whole life for a cause that he believes on."

Aboy Sibhat is the hero of all times. He will remain an Ethiopian Hero for his contribution to save the nation.
Regarding his interviews, he responded in a very diplomatic, philosophic and responsible manner for all the issues raised from all directions. In most cases, I love his honest independent and crystal clear statements. He dares to say what most of our leaders would not say. Alas!!! I always have a very important question to him, only to him but did not get a chance to meet him even for seconds. I am sure he has the right answer for me.

I am very proud of him. Had it been possible to do, I would have given him 10 years from mine to extend his life for he is by far more important than many of us. Sorry to say it but it is true.

Long live to you Tegadalay Aboy Sibhat)))))))

I personaly admire Aboy sibhat,he stated every thing about Eritrea,carefully,as Meles did. The most which I impress me is that the statement the Shabia war mongers they don't know who they are,thanks to Aboy and Meles!!
Love and peace for the people of Ethiopia and people of Eritrea.

If this guy is really the leading figure and the founding father of TPLF/EPRDF, can anyone tell me where he had been in the last 18 years? Why he remained behind the scene for such a long period and all of a sudden started to talk about Ethiopia-Eritrea? What is his motive (to divert attention, to respond to Essayas or to tell us he is ready to replace Meles)? Can we take his statements as official positions of the Ethiopian government, EPRDF, TPLF or just as personal opinions, wishes or dreams?

i went to say a good begining for the TPLF leaders to share their ideas not only in public meetings and some parties meetings but also to answer questions raised by any idividual who have interested what the party doing in tigray,ethiopia as well as their view regarding eritria.
to the point i appreciate the way how he answerd the questions raised by individuals.
but for me this not an end but the beginning for evrey higher officials and the party leadrs specailly from TPLF to give short and prcise information in timely and responsble manner.

Many of his family members are very dynamic individuals.Love him or hate him the man is a legend.

the thing I liked what ato SebHat Nega said about erireans is that they were hypotnized by shaebian poletics till they forget that they were people from east africa like everybody else but some special people endowed with european civilization because of italian colenization. To us ethiopians as we know they were under slavery.They even were not allowed to walk along "CAMPO STATO" street in their own country.They were not allowed to contineue education beyond grade six. Thanx to Atse haileslassie a univercity was open in asmara for them.That was how eritreans got their higher education.Now thanx to dictator isayas the only univercity in eritrea closed and non existance.

Though Sebhat has contributed a lot to the organization during hard time in the past, he is now a liability to the organization. I heard all the interviews he did for the last three years and none of them hold water. It is contradictory with each others, un-integrated, full of lies, too much sympathy for Eritreans, very narrow minded, etc. Generally, if some one weigh the present interview of Isaias Afeworki and Sebhat's interview in the same ballance, I would give 98% for Isaias while 11 % for Sebhat.

The old philosophy of Ethiopian colonizers, that defeated through indomitable struggle of Eritreans, is coming again under the cover of people like Aboy Sebhat.

This great person have said it again! He is still on his stand! I can't believe the difference between him & us! the number one thing that I learned from aboy Sibhat is: the secret that made TPLF a winner over all kind of rebels , egoistic elites & military profesionals,which is telling the truth! He said that the reason of their success is: realizing the reality at hand & learning from it... some of our was trying to learn from Donald payne,Feingold ... instead of from their own people!

When the Tigrian struggle started, the people of Tigrai had waited for so long thinking things might be better!some families had waited until their house is empty & I have witnessed families with their children leaving their house for good & they dod't know if where they are going is better but they left...

He said Ethiopians were all angry! he is right! the twenty first century was there but Ethiopia alone was in the dark! until its people died of hunger...

Some of our opposition politicians used to cry about the coalition of TPLF & Eritrean liberators against Derg but they themselves have changed their mind & be friended with shaebia itself while there is a wide range of political space in our country...atleast one can oppose & can still live in Ethiopia! they can't see this simple development!

anyway, In conclusion Aboy Sibhat is a great politician,statesman & a person who reach us here ! thanksto our Martyrs,veteran Tegadeltis & for all your deeds Aboy Sibhat! we have a great deal of respect for you & with out you we don't know if we could reach here!

I was one of the participant @ geza and I admire his straight forward and honest speech.

And I do blieve we can do miracles because we have a already conducive environment and nowdays our people are getting equpid with education in a free and fair environment inorder to make poverty is out of quesition.

so all in all the current gov. doing in all fields of development is encouraging enough.

I think the eritreans should appreciate the ethiopian gov.returning their property without reciprocity whatever the esayas's...

I thanks for Aboy Sibhat for his blunt and hoest assesement.

Thanks so much ayo sibhat nega.
Long live Ethiopa

Dear Editor
I know that you don't publish comments that criticize the woyane xxx. You like to publish what your bosses want to hear, that is why your bosses have become out of touch for Ethiopians. They listen only what they want to listen. I tell you that Sibehat is, to say the least a political xxxx. He is just good for nothing, the only thing that disappointed me is that my country is led by such xxxx who don't even know the abc of politics. How can this man be a figure to the nation? Does he know politics at all? I doubt. How can I compare this man with the genius Berhanu?(smiling!) Unthinkeable. xxxxxxxxx before he spoils more than he has already done. Please wake up and say a spade a spade. It is time to disgarce this xxxxxxx who doesn't know what he talks.

[With moderator edit...word removed is what is causing us to drop your comments Fukuyama, not your honest opinions you deserve to have.]

Neither Ato Sibhat's nor Ato Meles's interview would make any difference in the lives of Ethiopians. It has never in the last 18 years so why should we think it will this time. These people need to see the writing on the wall. Their time is up. Mark my word they have less than a year.

Hi there,
What's going on in Aigaland nowadays that all the talk and articles are about Eritrea? God knows what you're up to......Lol
I could not understand the recent blabberings of Weyane officials.
Did somebody send them a shiver down their spines???????
As to Sebhat Nega, his interviews do not hold water as he's contradicting himself every time he opens his mouth and this may be attributed to his senility().
As to the Tigray people living much prosperous life than Eritreans all I can say is good for them(as jealousy is not in Eritreans' character).
Sibhat has been engaged in forming different Eritrean opposition groups for the past 10 years and all of them failed in delivering what he wanted. And hence he's hallucinating and in a state of frustration. As to his insult of the people of Eritrea, it just shows how low the so called intellectuals of the weyane junta are.
Let me borrow a phrase from a TV commercial and conclude by saying that "Eritrea is in good hands" and Sibhat is kind of "Yeazagn kbie anguach".
Viva PIA and Eritrea

Ben,you will never understand what Aboy sibhat said because you are all the way 18 years behind the progress of TPLF. You have put the used to be civilized Eritrea in to a place of nightmare. For us it is good if you think that we are low so you will stay at bay away from the reality of our success. TPLF have turned itself into a fine deplomates all over the world but your PIA is there crazy like a mad dog contaminated with rabi.

Ben you are doing ok! stay uninformed & it will keep you at bay.

Actually it is life time exxperience to directly hear from a person who left for Dedebit only with principle! empty handed,the motto at the begining was that the struggle of the Tigrai people will emerge victorious.at that time the derg military janta was armed with all kind of sophisticated military hard wares and the struggle Led by aboy Sibhat emerged with another motto & lyric song that said "all the military hard wares will be in our hands at the end" All the way from Dedebit! right there sitting under the ሳግላ፤ ዐየ...and other Dedebitawiyan trees,right there in the Hills,Valleys & corrugated land of western Tigrai...

I think It will be our biggest opportunity if we can get a chance to listen to the truth that he is talking about live & closely. when I hear his voice I thought I know this person closely eventhough I have never seen him closely.not even in a video,only a few times.

thanks aiga,your struggle is amounted the armed struggle of Tigrai! without you,I don't know what we could have done here in the diaspora. we are proud of you!

When I heard Aboi Sebhat saying his government is revising its stand on Assab I was very confused. Aboi Sebhat is widely believed to be the right hand of the prime Minister of Ethiopia. Actually there are credible stories that Aboi Sebhat single handedly helped the current prime minister in his carrier through the TPLF echelons. Now as far as I know the prime minister has a strong stand on Assab. He believes Assab belongs to Eritrea. Moreover he openly argued port service is a commodity. Actually recently the president of Eritrea said the same thing. He said for Ethiopia port service is a commodity that can be bought from multiple countries. Moreover he made it clear that his country does not negotiate on sovereignty. From the above analysis I tend to believe that the prime Minster has more common ground with the president of Eritrea than Aboi Sebhat. However it is important to see Aboi Sebhat’s change of stand from another corner. Recently the president of Eritrea raised very important points. First, he said his government will not normalize it relations with the current government of Ethiopia even if the boarder is demarcated. Second his government will continue searching for new allies in the Ethiopian opposition groups. Third, his government does not believe any party representing a certain region or ethnic group should govern Ethiopia. The last three points in summation tell us one thing. The Eritrean government has already concluded that TPLF is not a good friend any more. I am afraid that this kind of decision might have been reached not due to the war but mainly by TPLF’s mistake to deport Eritreans from Ethiopia. That was very humiliating to the Eritrean government and Eritreans in general. Thus I believe it created a big wound among the two governments and people. Now what? Aboy Sebhat’s assertion that his government is revising its stand on Assab is “Jib k hede Wusha chohe”. Now Eritrea is a sovereign country and everyone one knows Assab belongs to Eritrea. The EEBC asserted Assab belongs to Eritrea and the Ethiopian government never contested that. If Ethiopia is going to Claim Assab then it is going to pure aggression. However I believe the change of stand has to do more with politics. First to gain the support of die hard Amhara who still believe on the old Ethiopia story and second to tell EPLF that if you are not willing to work with US we are going to do the unthinkable. Over all despite its mistakes in the 1998-2000 war I believe EPLF was smarter than TPLF. First, even if it is not demarcated it was able to settle the boarder problem. Second, it has been thinking and working to see Ethiopia without TPLF. The later could have been avoided if TPLF had accepted the EEBC decision. Actually that was the smartest decision TPLF should have made. Finally I strongly believe that prosperity in Eritrea and Ethiopia and Eritrea and Tigrai in particular could only be materialized through cooperation. Igniting another war in the name of Assab will be opening another chapter 10 to 20 years of destruction and Mayhem between the two countries. The Eritrean and Ethiopian people are smarter and I do not think they will allow this again. Never again.
Peace Plan.
Avoid hate and war mongering propaganda.
Allow the boarder to be demarcated by professionals from the UN.
Open dialogue on port service and other bilateral relations. This would be possible after the prime minister leaves office. Despite its hard position the Eritrean government will come to the table.

Isayas must be dismissed and WEYANE has to adjust itself and try to be part of the people. I do know, that it is almost impossible to be part of the people after the habit of over 30 years of evilness. But since we are afraid of more evilness, we can only say "KeMayawqut Mel'Ak Yemiyawqut Se'itan." So with the help of TSION please adjust yourself and stop the ever ending "culture" of empty propaganda !!

Yasin,
If bending backwards, selling your soul to the highest bidder,running a country with subsidy, and 90% of your budget coming from aid and loans is being considered as "turning yourselves into fine diplomats and 18 years of progress", it's good gor you guys and you're right here that I can't understand it......Lol.

Aboy Sebhat is a great Man. He led TPLF and handed us a victory. However I have some problems with the way the Ethiopian government is handling the issue in Somalia and the relationship between Eritrea and Ethiopia. I think the Ethiopian government needs to have a clear and comprehensive policy based on legality and respect for human dignity. The Somalia issue needs to be reevaluated carefully. Our relationship with other foreign countries should not dictate our relationship with our neighbors. Sudan’s president was saved from being arrested by the ICC because of its neighbors. So a neighbor has to be treated differently from west or East. As to Eritrea it is time to forget the nonsense and accept that Eritrea is an independent country. Unless Ethiopia accepts the boarder decision it cannot make any point against the Eritrean government at all. Because every Eritrean, the US, the EU and other countries believe Ethiopia is at fault for not accepting the boarder decision. No matter what happened before that makes sense to me. Even if we don’t like it the law is a law. It is after removing this obstacle that we can say the Eritrean government is interfering in our internal affairs. We cannot say that right now while our army is in a land given to Eritrea. A truth is a truth. Let’s not full ourselves. Force never ever became a solution to a problem. If that was true Israel could have solved its conflict with the Palestine long time ago. If that was true Derg could have disseminated TPLF long time ago. We struggle against injustice and we won. Lets fight injustice with justice. Not injustice through injustice.

He and Meles have screwed up on Eritrea and Assab, nevertheless they have brought up unpresidented economic and political freedom to people who had never seen it before. Those who oppose them are desperate loosers who had lost the boat of progress. Go EPRDF, you are simply wonderful.

I totally agree with Angelina that the Meles and Sibhat group screwed up royally on the Eritrean issue. Sibhat and Meles continue to believe in the fabricated and bizarre “history” of Eritrea propagated by Shaebia that preaches that Eritrea was a colony of Ethiopia! However, Angelina is also correct to state that they have brought some economic and political progress to Ethiopia. These two facts are undeniable to objective Ethiopians. Thus, my hope is that the next generation of leaders would continue the economic and political policies of the EPRDF and completely revise the issue of Eritrea. Meles and Sibhat will never change and revise their opinion of Eritrea and Eritreans, but a new generation of EPRDF or non-EPRDF leaders, I believe will adopt a new policy on the issue of Eritrea and the port issue. So, I am hopeful of the future.

I think Abay made a great point. Despite it belligerent behavior it is becoming difficult to make a case against Eritrea. One example is with the support of US and France Djibouti could not secure its land. As we know the UNSC was fixed at the position that it is the responsibility of Ethiopia and Eritrea to solve their boarder problems. When Shaebia invaded Djibouti they tried to react promptly. Yet their previous policy might have been a problem in justifying sanctioning Eritrea. That is why although a victim Djibouti failed to make a point against Eritrea. That means I am afraid that implicitly Djibouti might have been unhappy at Ethiopia.

Ben
That's what our respected leader Sebhat said about narrow and short sighted vision of you and your likes. no one needs any political calculation to know how the Eritrean people became the victim of shaebia's empty propoganda. you are still demonstrating what exactly Sebhat said. the world knows Eritrea's and Eritreans horrible situation at this time(reality). or are you telling us about your dream Singapor? what Sebhat said is come to your terms and sense & touch the reality on the ground. you are out of touch from the real situation of your country(Eritrea). but as you couldn't understand your good self you couldn't understand what our brave leader said. I admire Sebhat as usuall for telling you your exact psychological makeup. no one on earth diagnosed your sickeness. you owe him a lot. he told you for free and finding your cure is your part.

Ato Tesfai,

Few words to you.
1. more than 125,000 Ethiopian were deported without a single coine between 1991 and 1995. This took place while the Eritreans were exploiting Ethiopia.
2. more than 150,000 Ethiopians were deported again by the brutal Shaebia in the 1998-2000 war. In this war, thousands have disappeared in shaebia's prison, which must be settled one way or the other in the future.
3. more than 250 young women were raped and diappeared during the war
4.our water wells were poisoned by your shabia soldiers.
5.zalambesa was destroyed by bull-dozor

In the other hand, your Eritreans were deported but in a very proper way. No one was confisicated in Ethiopia.

How the hell do you think Eritreans are humiliated more than the Ethiopians?

Asseb is a matter 6hrs if the Ethiopian government needs it. It was given to you and it can be taken again. I am very certain that the Ethiopian defense has the capacity to chase your Ferahat/Teretti and hungry soldiers.

Do not tell us that this is a problem between the 2 governments. I have to tell you that this is a problem between you guys and us. You and us.
Most important thing to remind you is however, the Ethiopian leaders, those who brought your leaders to asmera from the bunkers of Nakfa/sahl will never change their words. They are men of their words; and not like your asshole leaders who cannot repeat/remember what they say a minute a go. Go to hell, Ethiopia is in the right truck but you people are suffering in the lives of your choice- an idiotic choice. Please leave us alone. Do not come to any Ethiopian websites and forums. Think of your hungry people in the streets of eritrea.

Ben

Bending backward ,selling your soul..,90% of you subsidary... Listen Ben! you are an independent so why would you worry about Ethiopia? worry about your country! you have nothing to say about Eritrea & you keep coming to Ethiopia on foot running for your life,to its cyber spaces... If you listen to what Aboy Sebhat said & you understood you wouldn't open your incompetent mouth right here in our web sight, but I know you don't understand as I told you that you are 18 years behind. I don't know why you don't have any shame in you! You have put the hard working & civilized Eritrean people 18 years behind , therefore, please be a little bit shy to what you have done to the people who was already better & successful in their life. You don't have anything real to tell whatsoever. be a man & face the reality facing you. Over 10 years since there is no normal socioeconomical structure in Eritrea! do you have any answer for this? a great deal of burder for Eritrea.

Once Mengistu said Tigrai’s revenue does not even cover it’s chalk expenses. He also said Tigrai does not have any institution except Tela bet. Most of us were very disappointed by his comments. Now when I hear the words thrown by Sebhat and some other writers against Eritrea it seems they have the same tone. Which takes me to the conclusion that whoever gets the upper hand in Ethiopia develops the same behavior. I do not think Sebhat could say that to Eritrea. Because Tigrai may have made gains but it has log to go to equate its self with Eritrea. Being embolden with short term gains without basis for sustainable development is not something we should Bragg about. Let’s keep our heads down and do our homework. Let’s not compare apple and orange.

Senait,
Instead of rushing to denigrate the Eritrean people and its leadership, why don't you come up with concrete evidence to rebut what I have stated above (about your budget and economy being run by aid and loans)? Is that us or you who are following our leaders blindly? Does this report coming from WFP, "......at a time when the numbers
of hungry people in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, northern Uganda and Djibouti
are expected to rise in the coming months..." ring a bell to you?
Is Eritrea mentioned there? As to aboy Sebhat diagnosing our sickness, it's just being a laughing stock. But if you believe that he has such kind of capability, he's using it on you guys in hypnotising you by blabbering and dwelling a lot in the affairs of Eritrea day in and out.
Guys, wake up and stop spewing hate and bigotry as at the end the people of Eritrea and Tigray will remain neighbors forever.
Again do not worry and shed crocodile tears for Eritrea and Eritreans as they are masters of their destiny.

Shalom.

Dear friends,

Leave these idotic mongols. Since they don't know who they are we should not expect them to understand us. We are busy on development and they are on the run to all directions of the glob including to the "enemy" (ethiopia). Well, it was their choice- a choice to live in a fictious world. Let us stop talking/writing about them and give them a chance to wake-up from their long sleep and realize the history they were taught was full of lies and fabrications.

I feel so sorry to lecture you about simple things that first grader could understand. yes as you said we are taking a loan and we will take a loan because we need a capital to build infrustructures, capacity building institutions(colleges, universities). but have you ever think that why the lenders gave us a loan? my answer is because they know that we have a capacity to pay them back. to be honest at this time you should hide yourself, but you are blinded by your chavinist ego(what exactly Sebhat said). at this time let alone about Ethiopia you don't have a moral ground even to talk about Somalia. you are talking with a people who have democratic instituitions, multiparty system, more than 30 universities, democratic government, peaceful nation, its people is bussy in eradicating poverty. and you are the person from one man dictatorship who turn his nation to the prison of its citizens, who couldn't have highschool, even one university, its people scattered in all corners, so please come to your sense try to find the true image of your self first inorder to talk about other people. you made me laugh when you said about the loan. you know that your master begged America to take asseb port as its military base years ago, but America refused to do so. you couldn't qualify to get support from the westerners and you failed.one more thing you are millions miles behind to compare yourself let alone with Ethiopia even with Somalia. don't take me wrong we wish peace and prosperity for the Eritrean people.

To make it clear the leadership of EPRDF never and will never be against any people be it Eritreans, Ethiopians etc. what Sebhat said was the Eritrean people is the victim of hollow propoganda from the colonial powers to Shaebia. the colonialists were telling the people that they are(Eritrean people) was special to be colonized by Italians, by comparing with the people of Tigray, but practically denied even to walk by "CAMPO STATO". and followed by Hailesslasie, Derg, worst Shaebia. lack of political program and vision forced shaebia to tell the Eritrean people that what the colonial powers did(you are special). this in turn made the people of Eritrea to be victimize and couldn't see the real situation. so what Sebhat tried to say to the people of Ethiopia was to stop blaming the people of Eritrea and the one to be blamed is Shaebia!!!blaming people and hasty generalization is your character not the far sighted leaders of EPRDF!!!

EPRDF alot of good works and there are mistakes but when we talk be posetive,rspect tomorow u will leed the country;haitret riac is enemy speech.Anyway think deep befor u speek.

i strongly support to what Sebhat said which is the voice of coragious.i know our leaders are responsible to what they say &to what they do ulike eritrean leaders.our government woried not only to Ethiopian but to also Eritreans &the whole African.any body can't compare these two leaders because the Eritrean leaders are engeged in a very trash activity they are sponsering tererist.they are acting as maphia group.they can't understad what they are saying. Isayas Afewrki &his cabinet have not a capacity to lead one zone let alone a country.the two brothely people of Ethiopia &Eritrea should understand th realty &they have to stregthen thier coopration.Eritrean should not fouled by shabias propaganda.they have to use the opportunities given by Ethiopian government.all eritrean don't go blindly you have to understand the realities. we Ethiopians have no any agenda to undermine your soverinity. we don't have a plan to occupay asseb b/c we know if we have money we can use any other port we need the service only not the land.also you know if we don't use asseb it remains idle then you lost your own.now Eritreans are sctering to all direction to scapt from Isayas we Ethiopian are helping them b/c they are our brothers.

Senait,
You seem like an insider of the weyane junta when you say that the leadership never, and will never in the future, be against Eritreans.
What can I say about this as it's crystal clear for everybody to see and judge what they said in the past no matter how you want to sugarcoat the words of the likes of aboy Sebhat.
On the other hand it's you and your likes (not the majority of the people of Tigray) who are hypnotized and fell victim to the hollow and hateful propaganda of your leaders towards the eritrean people.
Remember the following:
* "Hade flit nsh'h hamema"
* "yeaynachew kelem kalamaren...."
* "...bahrun gimelochachewn w'ha yatetubet"
* "...the people are sick to follow PIA"
So show me with concrete evidence where a single person from PFDJ leadership denigrated the people of Tigray in general?
You guys amaze me when day in and day out wish the demise of Eritrea and its people and just blabber left and right when challenged with facts(as I did not get any response to rebut my statements in regards to the economy, budget and your so called progress in the past 18 years).
Please refrain from adding fire to the already strained and damaged relationship, spew hate and bigotry and strive and beating the war drums as it's the poor neighborly people who shoulder the burdens (not the elites).
I rest my case here.

Shalom

one thing the tplf guys including aboy sebhat succeed in doing about their long held and declared stance on eritrea and related issues is not to listen to the precarious emotions at the capital.very fortunately,they did it by reasoning.now they can be sure that their stance on eritrea and related issues is alarmingly growig to be a majority view.may god protect such noble rasoning from disappaering from ethiopia.

You are talking about the hunger in Somalia,Kenya,Ethiopia...but not in Eritrea? I wish there is no hunger in Eritrea... the Eritrean people will pass through this though & the crimes that your gov't is doing will be told & then you will see a shame in yourself then!

Eritrean cannot sell their agricaltural products,even the colonialists didn't prohibit the selling of ones own products,the Eritrean people cannot go out & in their country freely,you have made the people who used to choose from different kind of fine FINO powder breads to only eat a dry " Meshela bread" shame on you!Eventhough Your gov't is holding every aspect of life tightly, we all still can hear the situation in Eritrea & we understand that the Eritrean people deserves better no less,atleast!

Do you know Ben? we all are different country now ! I shouldn't waste my time with you,but as long as your gov't is a problem for Eritrean themselves,a problem for Ethiopia,a problem for Somalia a problem everywhere... the truth has to be told! you don't have any excuse to hide the crimes of your gov't,therefore,be real & face the reality up front,right there! Before your independence we heard your cry against Ethiopia (our own country) & became part of the struggle against brutality but now your propagandas are clueless , nonsense & anti the two brotherly peole. whatever you are doing is in coordination with Ethiopia's enemies & this could cost you too much! you have better to do the right thing for your own sake.
TPLF has told the truth at the begining & TPLF is telling the truth now! this is not a joke! this is about a time for us to start to taste a time of peace & prosperity but because of your PFDJ you can see what is happening!
