An Eritrea sent us an e-mail about a video on Eri-Tv and pointed out
1) The speech given doesn't seem to be focused for the audience...because the use of many English words, and not sure the people really can follow the speech, so I don't think the person is stupid enough to add English when he knows the knowledge of his audience. In my opinion, I think it is probably for people in University.
2) I don't think looking at the podium where the guys has sat down (lighting) compared to the audience lighting...I don't think they are taped in the same room. Also the back ground of the speaker appears to be modern building, where as the people look in an older location.
My opinion is the video is doctored by the Eri-TV stuff and I am wondering if you can find a way to actually show the actual video.

We agree.If you look down on the news section, you will find the link to TV Dejen's Aite Abadi Zemo speech. The speech was actually made in Addis Ababa, if not mistaken. He was speaking at a forum organized by Educated Tigrayans. The topic was development in Tigray. Eri-TV took it from TV Dejen program that was linked in Hmbasha under the Title: TV Dejen: Aite Abadi Zemo, Vice President of Tigray Region, describes the reality in Tigray.Check it for your self. www.hmbasha.net/Jan2007.htm

“Please do keep in mind, every time any video like this is shown in Eritrean, where eri-tv tries to make fun of the Ethiopian parliament or something like that, the joke in Eritrea is, at least ezom tigrawots ab akebaom eka yzarebu....natna dae gedede kem obusat zereba iseyas traH semiom zmeSu. In other words, the people are not as stupid as the PFDJ thinks...”

Yes Eritreans are voting with their feet and marching to Sudan and Ethiopia. It will not be long, we hope, that the more people will understand that the government of Ethiopia is not gainst them and say enough to the Isayas regime.

While the PFDJ is busy spending its meager resources on such ridicules videos, and hold the undoing of the government of Ethiopia as its obsession, Tigrai state government is busy building more schools, more roads and infrastructures to get its citizens out of impoverishment. It confers with the Diaspora and Educated Tigrayans as shown on the video, so that they will be part the development endeavor as it is currently being done by TDA. The Ethiopian government is negotiating for time (even at the expense of angering its citizen for not forcefully responding Isayas’s sabotage and not that we agree with such policy) from the destructive Higidef so the country will continue with promising development in all part of the country. And we will see who is going to have the last laugh.

Aigaforum is very pleased readers have decided to expose deceit and lies be it done by a fraud govt like Higdef or the inept and malicious vocal Diaspora. Thank you.

To our reader who recommended us to call the Eritrean government as Higdef instead of Shaebia, we promise we will from now on. !
