Coup Attempt Is Said to Fail in Eritrea

Coup Attempt Is Said to Fail in Eritrea

By JEFFREY GETTLEMAN

New York Times

GARSEN, Kenya — Eritrea, a sliver of a nation in the Horn of Africa that is one of the most secretive and repressive countries in the world, was cast into confusion on Monday after mutinous soldiers stormed the Ministry of Information and took over the state-run television service, apparently in a coup attempt.

According to several people with close contacts inside Eritrea, the coup attempt failed, with government troops quelling the would-be rebellion and no one rising up in the streets. But many analysts said it was only a matter of time before President Isaias Afwerki, Eritrea’s brash and steely leader for the past 20 years, is overthrown — and most likely from within.

“There’s a lot of dissatisfaction within the armed forces,” said Dan Connell, a professor at Simmons College in Boston and the author of several books on Eritrea. “If this is suppressed, it won’t be the end.”

Eritrea is often called the North Korea of Africa because it is so isolated and authoritarian, with few friends and thousands of defectors in recent years as Mr. Isaias tightens his grip and the economy teeters on the brink of ruin.

addis zemen,
When I saw the topic on Nazret I was dead sure that you will be the first person to post and here you are again as usual. It seems to me Nazret website is a lot to you. It's your own world, life, living style and way of communication. I don't think you actually reveal yourself in the real world.
Back to the topic, it's a matter of time and it starts to fall within. It won't take too long to see the bloodsucker Isaias vanished once and for all. We had enough. Ohh GOD GOD GOD... please don't let him stay any longer. Get rid off him!!!

Woe for those mutineers who may be taken prisoners alive! Isaias is going to boil them in hot oil alive. I hope they had committed suicide before they were over-powered. This demon does not know leniency, fairness and amnesty. If these mutineers are only in their one hundred, it seems to me that the regime had a wind of it and let it unfold just to squash the uprising. It is the only way he knows: Quell any dissent without any mercy!!! Woe again for those who may be in jail being subjected to inquisition style tortures and enduring unheard of agony. Woe! Woe!! Woe!!!!!!

I think most of us think shabia is the problem.

And we were about to celebrate to days breaking news.

However i believe shabia is PART of the problem but not the MAIN ONE!

So i was relived once i found out that, the coup was failed.

why?

I strongly believe the fake bihere tigrigna are our sworn foe and shabia is the one driving them back to the stone age, so why should i be happy on such breaking news?

Instead i wish them (shabia and the driver , Isayas) to live long long long.... till those bastards learn how to coexist!

I was betting you would be the first, hence from now on you are AZ nomero uno. Do you just wait for new articles so you can be #1? Do you have a life AZ? Well, ok then enough about you.

Anyhow, just a few minutes before I saw this article I was on the topic how a dude I have known many years, born and raised in Addis, says he is Ethiopian.. but his action speaks otherwise. A picture speaks a thousand words of his true self, which is a Eritrean, may even be a shabian. I have nothing against these people but hey.. they wanted this and they still feed off of us. Why should I or any other Ethiopian care what Isayass does to them? They voted for this. As the saying goes, "you rip what you saw." I just wish we can break away for good with the Eritrean race because they hate Ethiopia, Ethiopians.. that is our country and you &me, people. Hell with them.

I think the agony, and the wordless cry of their soul has reached its max.The people got punished enough for all the sin they did when they were in Ethiopia. Some still have arogant behavior... and pretend as if they were the best nation in the world. you see, God watch your heart. Good luck!! if you really love Ethiopians and bow with respect, God would give you peace and the best leader for your country.

Nation building is a no jock business, the day this central government collapses it might not be easy to re-centralize power, there is no conducive situation like Eritrea to usher a protracted failed state. There is no guaranty there will be a central power in Asmara ones this power is removed unwilling.

Let alone a fake state like Eritrea, we know it was not easy even with better countries in history and nationhood like Sierra Leone, Liberia or Somalia ... a coup d'etat in Mali brought the nation to a break down till France sacrificed.

The man at the center of the fake state already knows there will be turmoil and he will be accountable the day he left power unless he goes to KSA. It is bleak in all sides because building a nation sate is not easy, it takes time and human sacrifice. I don't think Eritrea as a state have paid 0.1% of what is needed to build a nation state that can stand up by itself even after a violent change of government.

Many Eritreans thought nation building was an easy thing, they are now just slightly waking up to the realities, but there are more harder times to come. I am not saying this as a wish but as realities.

In your comment about being happy that the coup failed you said "However i believe shabia is PART of the problem but not the MAIN ONE!"
Who are Bihere Tigrigna and how they are different from Shabiya? Sworn enemy of who?
Your argument is interesting but I don't think I understand it. Care to elaborate on it?
Thank you.

HagreEthiopia,

I agree with you.But it's easier said than done. How are we going to get rid off them or break off any ties with them when the gov't in Addis Ababa is run by their sympathisers? They are coming back like hordes of cattle and, much to the outrage & indignation of Ethiopians, are getting better treatments in every way.

The very people who had allowed them to become independent later expelled them when they (EPLF &TPLF) disagreed on how to plunder the country- let's forget about that border and Badme crap.Few years later those very people let them in. I do recall vivdly a couple of guys I knew saying "We would be back". I laughed at their foolishness then. Now they have the last laugh.

One of the architects of its independence & the true son of Eritrea, our late visionary despot, is gone for good but his vision continues to be realized.

See, Ethiopians have no say whatsoever in any of these things.

Whatever is happeneing in that entity called "Eritrea" has more impact on Ethiopia than any other country. So I would say it is a big news.

Most Eritreans are fed up with the government of ER. It is true. But the truth of the matter is that Eritreans are not aggressive nor prone to kill each other. To my best knowledge what happened is a request to ratify the constitution. If the military wants, it can take anyone in power in a mater of hours. I was there and I know what is at stake. But as I said we will not see blood shed in Eritrea. It will take time and things will change. That is the civilized way.

By any stretch, measure or means Eritrea will not fall in the hands of its enemies. People are angry doesn't mean (equate to)that they are angry with their country and they would go back to ET.That is not how things run. Twenty two years is not far. I know some of you have wishful thinking such opportunities will happen. No way is the answer.
Djibouti is not far; it was part of Ethiopia (documented) unlike Eritrea. Sadly Teferi Benti went and saluted their flag when they declared independence. Why don't you bring it back? If you think size matters why don't you go take back Djibouti and even take back Eritrea for that matter.But we all know that is not the way and it won't work.
I haven't seen any one writing about peace and settling differences round the table. Why do we need aggression? I know many of us live in the West; is it what we are going to teach our children? What is going to make us different from the dictators either from ER or ET?

I came back to this forum after long time. As I have several times written before; I do not have any hard feeling toward Ethiopians or Ethiopia. I was born and raised there. So don't try to tell me anything. We are all poor let's grow up and forget sentimentalizing and romanticizing isolated incidents.

Eritrea to Eritreans.

You are not much different from the ones who come to insult us but for sure a bit better approach, you like Ethiopia and want peace with Ethiopia while Eritrea remain intact with the stolen port. Isn't that what you are saying?

The comparative with Djibouti vs Eritrea was interesting but Djibouti didn't took away what is not belongs to them. Djibouti is not thuggish who think to prosper at our cost. Their people don't work day and night to destroy Ethiopia, move around every website trashing Ethiopia, harboring, supporting and financing Ethiopian enemies.

The Djibouti people they know who they are, they don't claim to be what they are not, you even think Eritrea is a world super power leveled yourself with America, then you thought you are super power in Africa, then to East Africa, then to the horn of Africa only to find out you are not even powerful to your own starving people, now they are raising up to disintegrate.

Good will beget good will, they respect us but you assholes ...

It is your empty, illusioned and fake assumption and self deception that is failing you to see that ones this central government collapses Eritrea will be a battle field of multiple fronts.

I bet 100% Eritrea don't have what it needs to be a nation state.

I can tell you how you can live in the easiest and prosperous way in that region if you ask me.

We are not asking you people nothing, Eritreans do things with Eritreans.

Hateful jealous folks we know who you are keep on dreaming as if you all are enjoying economic boom, Ethiopia is still one of the poorest country in the world, worry about your own plight.

Eritrea will always remain Eritrea!! Mark my world we have bright future ahead than what some of you crooks trying to paint up, as we are not worried about ours, what is surprising to me is the degree of jealousy of you Tigrians ? Wow

look at extra lemagne's wrote about:
1st you try to come get Assab and you'll turn to skeleton,--refer on Bure. (Woyane + Ethiopia army)

2nd Eritrea don't want nothing from Ethiopia (period)
The economy of Ethiopia can't even host or feed her own population that's why you all get hand out from oxfam and usaid, But Eritrea don't beg no one, take this to the bank.

Overall, you are all evils, crooks and dreaming Eritrea to fall under, believe me you won't see that keep on fooling yourself.
And please our new generation don't even know you (old farts) except your bad wish, jealousy and evilness.

Worry about how long Woyane (tigrai libration front) can hang around under disguise of Ethiopianes. Yeah one day the Ogadenia ,Oromos and the Amharas will chase your azz into your mother womb! Lol.

No peace no war, no dialogue all is good for the coming 100 s of years, coexist my azz ! I know the massawa beach is in your eye lol.. Remember Sudans are our true neghibors.

When one creats a New country, it is atural to experience all ups and Downs as the other countries have done before. One can have a democratic government or a dictator, takes part of the neighboorings countries or loose its part (God doesnt creat Eritrea), there would be wealth or poverity, faile by one sport or succssful by other sport, so there is no special about Eritrea.

But as an Ethiopian i wish those islamists wont take Power. Those elf! The moment elf takes Power, the mess in Eritrea would follows by catastrophy in Ethiopia. elf Works more for arab controll of the rea sea than the People. But before it attcaks ethiopia it attacks the tigringya People. Any way Ethiopians must be ready for the worst.

Dear True Ethiopians, becareful what you wish for might become reality. I happened to agree with Agamino for different reason. Some of you just follow your emotion without thinking the consequences, don't listen to woyanie boochiloch they benefit from awonabaj system., Issayas regime has been carrying all the dirt of horn Africa, where will you dump your dirt if you get rid of Issayas shabiya?? at the moment when you catch a flu you blame it on Issayas, when taxi fare rise up you blame it on shabiya, Djibuti also happy to dump her dirt on Asmara regime, Issayas united Igad countries. I warn Oromos and amharas when shabiya off the scene you will be the target. woyanie can not loot peacefully without making people's mind busy else where.

Yesterday a possible backing Eritrean opposition for coup.where dose it stop.

Amiche!

You answered Your own quesion.

Eritrea was part of Ethiopia and rejoined Ethiopia by Choice. Before Italia Ethiopia had sea Access.

As to Djibouti, Teferi was in no condition to negotiate With the strong france while shabia(elf) is only 100km away from Asmara using the advantage caused by the greate revolution. Teferi Bante saw the eritreans as his own People and must protect them and Ethiopia araba messengers elf.

It doesnt mean there were no eritreans who want to separate but the majority were uniounist. The People at that time are not like you and me.

How can you explain to me that the musicians, the footballers, the military officers, etc were from Eritrea. But that time People dont say you from Eritrea, they Call you tigre, afar, kunama, etc.

But that time has gone. Now it is a Waste of time to og back and think like them. Our New thinking allready consumed more People than we can tolerate one another. Now you and me must think how can we stop this killing. That is to sit and negotiate how can we go forward With out killing and offering Our interest for outsiders. We have to think of the People who live on the border like real People, not like a Chase piece which fits Yours and mine political advantage. There is kunam, and afar befroe ethio- or ERi- kunama and afar if you know what i mean.

Dont be brain washed by propaganda.

If only all the Diaspora Eritreans had balls enough to say no! to sending 10% of their income to Esayas it would have over long time ago.
This 10% really is 'Taxation without Representation'. Eritreans unite! and stop paying your Embassy for 6 months 10% of your income and see the results.

If we dont do that every time Your leader and ous do not agree there would be always some freedom fighters. Now isayas has afar Liberation front which says it wants to make the ehtio-afar free and tplf vsv.

Good News Issayas is still in Charge.


Since decades ago, Eritrea doesn't have any higher Education institution. The Asmera University that was the second biggest in Ethiopia doesn't exist in the illegal and dictatorial Tigrigna ownership Eritrea.


That means Eritrean youth between ages 15-60 is compulsory to attend only Military training and being solders and being perfect anything has to do with Guns. That means the only ability Eritreans has, has to be only using guns.

Yet, the rubbish Sawa herds(animals) are not even in the position to topple an old and life time criminal Dictator issayas that is isolated internationally and regional meaning a very weak and endured to death so called leader despite he never been elected but took power by force.

How come these bunch of insects(Tigrigna so called solders) from sawa even manage to think in order to face the Ethiopian solder in the battle field while we are witnessing their rubbish ability which is not enough to topple Issayas who is isolated including in Eritrea, defenseless, old, criminal and at the final stage of destroying Eritrea forever? This is the empty and silly Tigrigna Eritrean behavior.

They think they are not only something but also everything while we know they living beyond reality within themselves and the surrounding. They are living an imagination life and as a result they are affected anyone they are coming around, of course Little Eritrea is the on the first place with migration. Living in others country with others cost while they still are thinking about Eritrea seems the only way of life this Tigrigan has.

However, we want Issayas remain at least till all rubbish Eritreans suffers beyond recovery and the hostility against Tigrignas reach to the level never ever in the future be accepted by other Eritrean Ethnic groups that are suffering by Tigrigna lead Shabias the worst and for long time.

Keep in mind; anything happening between Ethiopia and in the name of Eritrea including the war they supported by Arabs and latter on Ethiopia illegally and wrongly(Against UN 1945 Charter about big nations having the sea coast right)became land locked by English lead conspiracy in UN is done by Tigrigna Eritreans. Others are victims to the Tigrigna Eritreans. If it is about the Red Sea afar, Kunama, Saho and the likes, Eritrea would remain part of Ethiopia. But the Tigrigna dogs that are biting their own mother breast including while they are sucking it, are the only criminals in the region against Ethiopia and particularly against other Eritrean Ethnic groups.

We hope, Issayas would remain few more years to destroy particularly the dog and pig Tigrigna Eritreans that are affecting the whole region as far as in Israel raping an 83 years old woman who managed to survive the Nazis but not the Tigrigna Eritreans. Ethiopia will suffer again if the Tigrigna Eritreans with Eritrean feeling and passport coming in the country and start to have making a living while affecting her as they did before they expelled from Ethiopia by a hero Ethiopian son, Siye and his colleagues. Meles is no longer there, to work for them. The day Meles died, is also died Issayas era and Tigrigna Eritrea getting more favor against the rest of Eritrean Ethnic groups. Ethiopians know, Tigrigna Eritreans are the core and only problems between Ethiopia and Eritrea. Therefore, Ethiopians after meles will work with any Eritrean particularly Red Sea afar, Kunama, Saho and so on.


We, Ethiopians are welcome to other Eritrean Ethnic groups, but not the Tigrignas. We wish them because of issayas to suffer the rest of their existence one day they would disappear from the surface of the earth. Because they are causing so many troubles not only in Eritrea, Ethiopia and the region but all over the world.

Viva Issayas. We want him to stay few years more to worsen the Eritrean situation particularly to destroy the Tigrigan Eritrean future in Eritrea as well as Ethiopia. We don't trust them anymore. They are sick people coming to Ethiopian blogs, youtube and so on insulting Ethiopia. 99.9% all bad comment on youtube Ethiopian music, news and so on and blogs are from Tigrigna Eritreans. We know that.


It is good to hate, isolate and reject them. They are not good people. Just witness their behavior in Israel. Israel is allowing the dogs to stay in the backyard when the time comes to bite and affect them in many ways including being servants to the Arabs as they did against Ethiopia.

Bad news the Dictator has got another day but for sure he will be eliminated. Think an his masters such as Gadaffi, Mubarak, Sadam and other Ethiopian enemies used him as a good slave against Ethiopia.

Ameche Warsay –
I think you are comparing apple to orange just to support your case. The reality is Djibouti was under France’s control when it regained its independence. Ethiopia never had been part of the play except being a third party observant. In fact I’d argue, Djibouti never been annexed to Ethiopia or never been part of it. The French was there since 1829 to benefit from Djibouti’s strategic location. You are simply failed to see the fact or deliberately twisting the truth. Ethiopia never put a dime to build Djibouti. The Rail road was designed to meet Ethiopia’s trade expansion and still under Ethiopia’s soul control. In contrast Ethiopia spent billions to build many of Eritrea’s infrastructures particularly the Assab and Massawa ports.

As you can understand for many Ethiopians, the most exasperating part from the whole deal was not the independence of Eritrea. In fact I say it was a blessing in disguise for not only to bring peace but for betterment of both people. The essential issue here is when Eritrea’s independence happened; Ethiopia never had the right representation. If there was, it never had to lose its rightful port, specially the port it built from the ground. That by itself is a 6 billion USD economic disadvantage every year. Don’t take my word but go ahead and see independent studies from UN, the Brooking Institution and EU. At the time, it was a premeditated move orchestrated by Woyane and Shabea to disintegrate Ethiopia and benefit from its demise. Any government with right mind and intention would voluntarily turn its sovereign nation in to land locked and argued in front of the world. I believe these two people can live peacefully side by side. The only obstacles are the two hyenas [woyane & Shabea]. I also believe Ethiopians would never have to lose sight from the legitimate issue of not only questioning but getting their access to sea back at any cost. It is never too late to do the right thing.

If any one believes the detriment of Eritrea is an advantage to Ethiopia, he or she may not using their best judgment. It is not simply the case. However, peace and harmony can only be achieved through equal and mutual compromise. Eating my lunch every day and asking me to be conciliatory is a joke if not an insult.

Let me just say this to you and others, whether it was for right cause or not, Eritreans fought for their independence and won. They won because, Ethiopia was under a brutal dictatorship which never commanded the true support of the people [Derg], and following to that it is under the deceitful tyranny of the Woyane junta which has never possess the interest of Ethiopia to begin with. Your victory for independence was circumstantial but never the less it was attained and congrats! Now, Ethiopians I mean real Ethiopians including the converted woyanes have to use your weakness to regain what was taken away from us illegally. Then, the healing will have to begin in a full course and we can be friends again!!

I dont think this is the typical coup de tout we all have been acustomed to but rather a confused and perhaps disgrantled army sholdiers who are on socidal mission in an attempt to create confusion within in the militery.

I dont see the reason behind over throwing a leader who fought for over thirty years to librate the eritrean from the jaw of anarcy,absolute totaliterian regime of the ethiopian government that had besaged his tiny nation for half a century.

The only best outcome for the eritrean people if they are not satisfied with their current leader is to wait untill he expires that is or he cease to exist on earth. then the chance will present it self to establish a transitional government that is fair and just for all eritrean people.

In my view attempting coup de taut on isayas is the wrong way to go about venting their frastrution on his leadership and the lack of freedom in the country.

It is big news for sure as any African coup attempt will be. But that's it. Ethiopia needs nothing from Eritrea, their refugees should be treated same as Somalis refugees. The fall of IsayASS or any Eritrean event will have no economic or political impact other than more refugees.

By the way the Asab issue, is independent of Eritrean issues, Extra. Get it right.

Ethiopians must know the fact that we MUST end our thinking that it is IsayASS who is the enemy of Ethiopia and not the Eritrean. Unfortunate but true, we knew them as Ethiopians when they new themselves as Eritrean separate from Ethiopia. We grew up together, we got married to them, we had children with them and they were still Eritrean separate from Ethiopia. They even have the audacity to go as far as registering our half Ethiopian kids born in the West, as Eritrean. Hence my venting in such a manner. I hate no one, really. But facts are facts and I do understand agree with part of what you are saying, Nenewe. It is correct in part. That is why I always lay the blame of the Eritrean PROBLEM, yes it is a never ending problem for Ethiopia, on the door steps of the TPLF.

Furthermore, it is my belief that no Eritrean even the half casts, harbor good will for Ethiopia. If we are to face facts, all Eritreans living in Ethiopia must be handled as hostile to Ethiopia because they are. I also agree with you so long as the "asdefari" tplf is around, Ethiopian pride will be as it was in the time of their banda ancestors. And here we are today, the tplf and eplf at odds, Ethiopia still at a point of war with Eritrea over our own territory which the Derg tried to clear.. back to where we started because of Tplf. That to me, is the impact. It is a relationship that must be brought to an end bearing in mind that IsayASS or not, the Eritrean's view of Ethiopia will always be based on their inferiority complex that will lead to aggression on their part. Always.

I am very well aware that the impact of Eritrea on Ethiopia is only prevalent so long as Tplf is around. How long does tyranny last.. right? Once a true Ethiopian is in place, Eritrea will cease to be a problem and become impactless upon Ethiopia because they will be just like Kenya or the Sudan or...

I look forward to that day.

AZ,

This problem has been going on for many decades. Why is it our problem anymore? I thought once your leaders declared Eritrea as Independent, we will have no more to do with them. Why and in what way are we involved? Eritrea is just like the Sudan to us.. we have no problem with both Sudan because of their break up, which by the way is worse than a coup. You people put Ethiopia through a horrible war in 1998 and still no solution? Your Tplf allowed for shabia to be where it is today. And for your information, they want nothing to do with us, its only right we return the favor. We must not involve in their affairs and we should send back all Eritreans to the independence they voted for. Whatever the outcome, it is their problem.

51 years ago yeasterday Our self declared Brothers played football as one of us and we won the cup together, 30 years ago we made it togehter to participate the cup. But their families chose to destroy for all of us. Forgett playing football even Food was luxery. Now the only thing they have is the good memory they had when we were together or listen to their families how they are doing good in the contry called Ethiopia. Did Ethiopia servive the plane they did. Yes it did.

Yeasterday while the world watching african football, eritreans were hijacking their tv and radio station which was broadcasting war songs as usuall. eritreans can not watch football. Ethiopians, they are not only watching but participating. The30 years self destruction war turing it face to the crators of the war.

I wish this is a lesson for tigrayans also. Otherwise this is the last time you watch african cup leave alone participating.

Our forefathers sacrificed in millions to give us, their childern such a Resource full and beautifull country. We dont have to be greedy. Let's live in Peace and share what we have. It is enough for all of us.

Those of you who are With the leading party must be the one who have to tolerate and participate actively to chage the government to a democratic and modern one. You dont have to defecive all the time.

You accept it or not, whether you like it or not, Ethiopia is the stablizing force in the region. The only powerful, strong and stable country, whom anybody can depend on.
Ertrea in the other side is a place on the verge of disintigration.
When all said and done, the UN or all of world powers will depend on Ethiopia to stabilize the situation, and ofcourse when humaniterian crisis take place, where would the people run to. It is already started, and we cannot chase those poor souls away.

I don't understand talking of Assab day and night when we got illegitimate regime in Addis who signed of the entire country for sale, first you need to have legitimate governments in both countries elected freely. and then create peace and stability between both countries before any attempt of port issue. people now days well informed not like old days zeraf zeraf without concrete evidence historical facts challenge through UN legally, if that fails nothing wrong renting Assab cheaper than all other potential ports for our use. All these hatred created by woyanie itself, no difference between shabia and woyanie both tplf/eplf fought for separation, suddenly woyanie becomes holy and shabia becomes evil. infact i remember when woyanie and olf had internal problems it was Isayas who used to be Astaraki peace maker. During revolution movement in 1960's and 70's Eritra question used to be backed by Ihapa, meison, olf, etc. later Meison went to bed with dergue and now professor Andereas ex meison special advisor for meles. Even if we have three ports still doesn't make difference when we got unelected corrupt regime in power. woyanie accountable only for ak47 the only language they understand, nowadays they are shiiting themselves because they lost their brain meles, secondly G7, tpdm burning adigrant, muslims demand, orthodox question, etc This is why woyanie desperate to make peace with shabiya.

You have no shame about yourself by being so dump.

Djibouti was part of Ethiopia. France that was a rival to the English was looking to have a present in the eastern part of Africa as all eastern part was occupied by the English, Italy, Portugal and Germany (Tanganyika). Back then France and Ethiopia had the best relationship. Minilik was getting weapons as well as some technological assistance from France and a little from Germany.

Then in 1894 France and Ethiopia agreed to build a train line through Djibouti and in return France was allowed to have base in Djibouti for 99 years and then return back to Ethiopia. Building the train took 17 years(1911) some said they took long time intentionally in the process to loot and play dirty games against Ethiopia. However, France is by far the better nation and people doing business with them. The train line they built 100 years ago is still functioning. Dou you have anything to mention what little England (1/4 of France territory) have done for Ethiopia except limitless and long time misery (since atse Theodros) and till today is going on with many kinds of secretive approaches using aid (weakness) as privilege and power to do anything they want as usual against any poor and weak nation mainly black nations including Australia. To cheat..

As we know the west European evil behavior, without the Ethiopian knowledge declared Djibouti independent and the three undemocratic and self appointed dictators for 70 years UN permanent Members (England, France and USA) recognized her as a nation right after dergue took power and declared socialism and became against these evil west Europeans mainly the two evils (English and USA) where USA is right now becoming a better nation while England remains as evil as ever.

The scramble of Africa was 1884. Yet, you little head vomiting something you have no idea. Hong Kong is returned to China after 150 years English rule. That was the agreement. But, they gave an illegal independent to Djibouti in order to hurt Ethiopia the same way they did with Eritrea.
Yet, they are refusing giving back Falkland to the argentine (mother land) and declaring as their own despite it is 10s of thousands km away. It is the same think with Gibraltar and other places. When it comes with them, they are always right. But others are always wrong and becomes victims to them using the dictatorial UN permanent membership they have taken 70 years ago to rule the world under their ownership despite 1945 world is tooooo different than what is today where more than 5 top 10 rich countries are beyond USA and west Europe while back them was not the case.

Ethiopia working with France is the good thing as it is with Germany. Ethiopia having good relation with USA is the best thing to do especially in the Future USA will be the place to all human being regardless race, Ethnicity or religion. But having the English establishment subjects around is the biggest mistake today and the nation suicide for tomorrow. Keep it in mind. Still is lots of questions but not a single right answer why Ethiopia is having the kind of relation with little England with history and behavior we know being against other nations including Ethiopia while there are honest, hard and good working, friendly, trustworthy and with so many good quality nations such as China, Russia, Japan, Korea, Brazil, India, France, Germany and many more are here, there and everywhere ready to work together with very little risk or no risk at all.

If England wasn't there, Eritrea and Djibouti would be part of Ethiopia for always. But, there are still around Ethiopia pretending to do the right thing while we know they are cocking poison secretly to affect our county using Ethnicity, religion and so on as a reason while in Little England white, black, Asian, Arab, and all human races and Ethnic with different religion including Muslims and Jewish are living together whole speaking one language which is English. Yet, In Africa they are trying to create differences in the name of Ethnicity and religion and backs are still stupid allowing them to do so in the 21- century they way it happened to them including slavery and colonization.

We would treat the best way and we could become the best friends and allies if they stop their evil behavior against Ethiopia. We will see how will be their future behavior during the time their past is over and their future will not be easy and their way as it was the case the last 500 years. Their era is over hoping their bad behavior against us also will be over and instead they will be the best ally, friend, trust worthy and honest knowing Ethiopia is the only African nation still they have many things in common and can related with in many ways. The pain and destruction they have made against us including with the Eritrean Issue while serving the Arabs is one of the many they have done against Ethiopia. But the Arabs are on them right now including against their interest all over the Middle East and North Africa.

@all robot woyanes cadres and haters on cheap propangada

Breaking news:
meles zanawi dead@ 57 years old by the voice of abebe galow elelelelelelelele skskskskskskksks.....

Now that the tempest in a teacup, the imaginary coup d’état, that was perpetrated over the internet by crackpot “journalist” with little respect for facts or context, is over, we as Eritreans have to reflect, yet once again, over the fact that we are being held hostage by western propaganda machines that masquerade as news agencies.

As Eritreans we have to recognize the fact that our media delivery system has for all practical intents and purposes failed. This fact was effectively once again demonstrably clear today. None of what are called “our” media outlet, or websites with sufficient reach, had anything to say on the events unfolding back home or the lies spread through the internet. All the narrative was set for us by the enemy propaganda machine. All we had left was to react to it. It is time to fix this dangerous situation. And no one has more responsibility to fix this situation more than the Government of Eritrea.

It is disheartening to see the same forces that told us President Isaias was dying and was flown to Dubai and then died, the same forces that worked hand in glove with the Ethiopian regime to convince us that Meles was still alive, I could go on as the lies are endless, somehow manage to disturb plenty of good hearted Eritreans in diaspora and managed to have them glued to their computer screen today by claiming a coup d’état was taking place in Eritrea. Imagine their claim: that “1oo solders” taking control of the Ministry of Information, amounted to a coup d’état, ought to have been laughable. Leave alone the Government of Eritrea, where on earth will a government fall because 100 people stormed the information ministry? The irony is, there were no 100 soldiers that stormed the ministry. And yet, armed with such silly narrative, today for sometime , the enemy propaganda machine had control of information flow.

Whatever took place, I have it from a good source, the GoE will update us soon, maybe tomorrow. Regardless, it is high time that we as Eritreans must insist on having a PR mechanism that gives us timely and relevant information. We must insist that we no longer be victims of malicious propaganda. We must insist not to be abandoned to misinformation and psychological warfare campaign that is being waged against us. We have to have timely and relevant information to fend off the psychological warfare that is being waged against us. This is nothing but simply insisting on self-reliance in media.

yesterday in the websites of some news organisation across the internet.

The situation, on Monday the 21st 2013, in Asmara and all over Eritrea is no different from any other day. It has been peaceful and business as usual and there is no sign of mutiny, coup d’etat or any kind of uprising.

There was a small incident that has occurred in the offices of the Eritrean Television that was resolved peacefully. The details of the incident will be clear in the coming days, but there was no force involved in the incident. The Eritrean Television staff members have reassured their offices is peaceful.

However, a few western individuals such as Martin Plaut, Dan Connel and others like them who have been attempting to destabilise the Eritrean government for a long time are fueling a virtual coup d’etat in the internet to create confusion amongst Eritreans in the vain attempt to kick-start a real Coup d’etat.

The western media journalist Martin Plaut who works for the BBC as director for Africa has been tweeting furiously all day about an imaginary Coup d’etat in Eritrea even claiming that the Eritrean President is under arrest.

Dan Connell, a man who has developed an insatiable craving to see the unseating of President Isaias Afwerki at any cost wrote an article today and could not hide his real intentions of stopping the mining industry in Eritrea. He could not even pretend to appear to care about Eritrea or Eritreans.

Reports from AFP about the imagined coup has managed to link the story with the share prices of the main mining company with clear intention to affect negatively the share price and frighten any potential investment on the booming industry of Eritrea.

These same discredited sources of information have been claiming the President of Eritrea was dead of illness in order to divert attention from the fatal illness and eventual death Meles Zenawi only 5 months back in 2012.

Not satisfied with the lie, deceit and destruction caused by their reports on the imagined death of Eritrea’s President few months back; they are now back with even more imagined coup d’etat of a President who was supposed to be dead by their own accounts.

It is very clear this virtual coup d’etat is designed out of frustration by the detractors and destabilisers of Eritrean government who had recently started a major investment drive for its citizens in all aspects of the economic sectors.Eritrea had the highest rise of Economic Development in 2011 and this trend was continuing in the next few years fuelled by the heavy investment made in the country’s infrastructure over the last decade.

Everyone who is at the bottom is always looking for someone else to be below him, which is called the bottom complex. The poorest whites are the worst racist group of people because they cant accept they are lower than Negros so they have to put down Blacks to make them feel good.

Askari = Ascaris

I just don’t know what to call you, stupid bozo. If you have this much desire to proof your petit knowledge, I suggest you find something better or useful. If not stop making unnecessary noise and waste my time you fu****g dick head.

Yes, the French interest in the area took place against a backdrop of British activity in Egypt and the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869. In 1884-85, France expanded its territory to include the shores of the Gulf of Tadjoura and the Somaliland. Boundaries of the region marked out in 1897 by agreement between France, Briton and Emperor Menelik (and later affirmed further by agreements with Emperor Haile Selassie in 1945 and 1954). That’s the short history. Before the French took over, Djibouti was under the British control as part of the big Somaliland colony. The agreement was to establish border in this colony between the British, French and Ethiopia. Then, the Ogaden officially allocated to Ethiopia and Djibouti remained under the French & Briton kept the current Somalia. There is no historical fact to support Djibouti as part of Ethiopia. You don’t have to put such a lengthy rubbish to deny and twist facts and travel this length unless you are a psychopath which I suspect you are.

In 1896, Djibouti was named French Somaliland. Djibouti, which has a good natural harbor and ready access [main attraction to the French occupation] to the Ethiopian highlands, attracted trade caravans crossing East Africa as well as Somali settlers from the south. The Franco-Ethiopian railway, linking Djibouti to Ethiopia, was begun in 1897 and reached Addis Ababa in June 1917, further facilitating the increase of trade between the two nations. However that doesn’t mean Djibouti was part of Ethiopia. In fact, Ethiopia remained D’s major trade partner to this date. If yours dimwitted and ill-informed soul can’t figure out this obvious order go hang yourself instead of vomiting unfounded fabrication. I don’t think you need to be a rocket inventor to know this as you were trying to make it sound. It is a matter of reading history & understanding the element. But, as little as you are, you were running your tale up and down with your mini understanding only to embarrass yourself.

In a May 1977 referendum, the Republic of Djibouti was established. This was granted by France and France only. Ethiopia has remained as third party participant. We didn’t have any clout on this decision. This was part of history. I just don’t understand your exaggerated noise to make it sound like I fabricated this. Your thoughts were very erratic and disorganized. You were jumping out of your way to protest without articulating the raw fact. My previous remark was only, a response to another comment. The history of Djibouti wasn’t even the core issue until you made it. My response was to make a point in a bigger thread. If you can’t comprehend that get lost and do your ABC before running your stinky hole. That’s all bozo!!!

Where is the perennial Shabia defender ZXamchie these days? Did she also defected and abandoned the criminal gang in decaying asmera like the ex disinformation/propaganda minister ato ali abido? obviously, the cyber soldiers of shabia have already started feeling the absence of their former chief-of-lies ato ali and started complaining about the ineffectiveness of their illegitimate country's propaganda machine to keep the highly and severely brainwashed population in a delirious state of mind for the benefit of dictator isayas afeworki of Temben Ethiopia. Their absolute and unchallenged control of the propaganda machine within the illegal "country" seems no longer enough to maintain the down spiral progression of the renegade province. Hence Arteran[Visitor]'s desperate demand for more lies and control in the media. What is left for Shabia to do after effectively shutting the flow of information within the country? There comes a time even an absolute control of the media, army, economy and just about every facets of a fake or real country's institutions and the livelihood of the people can no longer be enough to keep dictatorship alive. For the dismay of the Shabian bandits, Artera seems to reach such a time and it means a lot to us Ethiopians in my opinion.

As you all know, there is no worse enemy to Ethiopia than shabia. Its peaceful or violent removal from power is something worth of celebration for the simple reason of its longstanding and unwavering enmity against our country Ethiopia. It is Shabia that has effectively brainwashed the people of our renegade province to renounce their historical allegiance and citizenship to Ethiopia. This is specially true amongst the highlanders of Artera who were favoring staying with Ethiopia before Shabia's creation has given a legitimacy to the rebellious movement of the lowlanders. Shabia therefore is the reason why almost the entire arteran generation today sees Ethiopia as enemy. Additionally, it is also Shabia that has fueled the cancerous and tribal ideology of cessation or separation in our country. Therefore, Shabia's death is as much or even more important for Ethiopia than it is for those who moronically and laughably consider themselves Arab instead of African, Arteran instead of Ethiopian, Ascari instead of Arbegna, and so on.

Shabia, the spiritual guidance and leader of all tribal groups, should not be allowed to succeed in its mission of creating a viable state with a strong army to advance its foreign policy of bleeding Ethiopia to death. We, Ethiopians, should not give recognition for the nationhood of Artera. Yes, we are no longer willing to have the renegade province back to the Ethiopian fold, but that does not mean we should accept the illegal as legal, the illegitimate as legitimate, the criminal gangs as government, and the renegade province as a country just because Shabia and treasonous Woyane said so. Our fight is with Shabia and its separatist ideology that was designed to disintegrate our country Ethiopia. Demanding the return of Aseb into its rightful owners, Ethiopians, is not enough to ensure and secure the existence and other long term interests of our country. Destroying Shabia, annihilating its defeatist achievements and fully discrediting its ideology should be taken as seriously as reinstating Aseb to the Ethiopian fold. For that reason, we celebrate Shabia's world famous failure to deliver what it has promised for the people and the prelude of its ultimate demise that was witnessed in decaying asmera yesterday.

I only wish we had a government that can see the immense opportunity this event brings to our country and help the philosophically and politically pro Ethiopia entities within our renegade province push shabia over the cliff to its ultimate demise.

51 years ago yeasterday Our self declared slaves played football as one of us and we won the cup together, 30 years ago we made it togehter to participate the cup. But their families chose to destroy for all of us. Forgett playing football even Food was luxery. Now the only thing they have is the good memory they had when we were together or listen to their families how they are doing good in the contry called Ethiopia. Did Ethiopia servive the plane they did. Yes it did.

Yeasterday while the world watching african football, eritreans were hijacking their tv and radio station which was broadcasting war songs as usuall. eritreans can not watch football. Ethiopians, they are not only watching but participating. The30 years self destruction war turing it face to the crators of the war.

I wish this is a lesson for tigrayans also. Otherwise this is the last time you watch african cup leave alone participating.

Our forefathers sacrificed in millions to give us, their childern such a Resource full and beautifull country. We dont have to be greedy. Let's live in Peace and share what we have. It is enough for all of us.

Those of you who are With the leading party must be the one who have to tolerate and participate actively to chage the government to a democratic and modern one. You dont have to defecive all the time.

Learn from Our mistakes.

AZ,

Is the Tplf govt involved in destabilizing IsayASS/Eritrea? If so, they are up the wrong tree. What they need to do is control the border, control the refugee situation and treat Eritreans as foreigners.. no no scratch that, treat them as they treat Ethiopians. Deport their ass, get back our territories and stop involving in neighboring nations affairs. Stop believing the West's BS about being a regional force. You are not. You are just being used, your tplf AZ, is a puppet.

All this BS about being a stablizing force only serves the interest of the West. Not Ethiopians. Tplf must stop swallowing this strong regional force BS of the West cause, boy they will drop your ass soon as they find a replacement for you.

I say let the Eritreans figure out their mess. Trust me, we are better off with having nothing to do with them because nothing they do will affect as other than an all out war, and that bro, will be the death of Eritrea's sham independence.. not even Sebhat Nega can say otherwise.

Also, it will serve you and your woyane buddies well to remember who is responsible for this mess called independent Eritrea to begin with.
here is a reminder for you as stated by that gematam Sebhat Nega...
“This is not a blunt admission but a proud assertion. Sebhat Nega says that all Eritrean groups put together would not match the sacrifice TPLF paid for the independence of Eritrea. When Shabia was considering sharing power with the Derg and betray the independence of Eritrea, it was TPLF that served as the beacon of freedom for the Eritrean people without giving any chance to the “enemy” to sabotage Eritrea’s quest for freedom from “colonial rule”. Sebhat Nega said, even if Eritrea comes under any attack by any invading force today, EPRDF would join the Eritrean people right now and fight off the enemy.."

I'm sure you have heard the interview.. right?

Girmaye,you worte
" First and then later an Islamic state where Sheria law will be enforced and practiced much like in Somalia. Please read:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-11389426 "

Well that was written two years a go and not so scholarly.It is just journalism. I don't personally wish this to happen, but never the less here we go if you can read of course.

http://www.dni.gov/index.php/about/organization/national-intelligence-council-global-trends

Now see who is failing (hit 19 before the pages)and let's see if that makes you feel better. And search for "eritrea" and you will soon learn that it is the cause for what you read on page 19!! Sorry.

So, whats up neighbors? Whats eating your heart? Do you still believe that destruction in Eritrea would solve Ethiopia's uncountable problems? Oh, you are on the wrong path and ugly wishes. But keep in mind what you wish to others might hit back to you soon.
May I remind you that you guys were having fun with your self-made lies of -President Isayas Afeworki has died- and not long afterwards we came to learn that your Melese was suffering on his death bed somewhere (unknown adress) but woyane mouthpiece still insisted that Meles will be back to office soon and you know the rest of the story.
Thanks to all peaceloving Ethiopians but to all illwishers, no need to say your wishes to others will hit back to you soon like boomerang.
Keep screaming and enjoy listening your own echo and meditate your complex as if we care.

*Eritrean wanted its independence from Ethiopia! *Ethiopia shouldn't produce situation that creates negative noise on Eritrean affairs, for whatever reasons like seeking ports, showing of powers.
*It is time for Eritrea gov't to bring up discussion with opposition party, and release of political prisoners.

When Eritrea finally becomes the Islamic Republic of Eritrea (IRE) the highlanders will end up becoming the new Plestine people of the Horn. Unlike the Palestine people of the Holy land, they get little or no symaphty from others. The drama of the failed state is unravelling rapidly before our own eyes. It is quickening only few people can detect the event.

you are wrong the Muslim are not our enemies. It is the dictators. The Muslim population have as much right as you and me, to live in their countries that belongs to them, as it does to you and me.

PS:Stop the religious hate, tell your wife hi and to do the same ok?

Good luck with your music career, post your CD on youtube bro. Lets check it out.

EriPride,

You may need to focus a bit here. We, Ethiopian, do not really care what happens to the province. We are done with you. We do not care who does what in Eritrea.. you voted for it, we suggest you enjoy what you got. And keep in mind, we do not give a freezing hell what happens to the mad dog IsayASS either, he is welcome to do whatever hewants to you people.. you guys deserve each other.

We, Ethiopians, would also like for your government to control the border better so that we do not get so many Eritrean refugees flooding our nation. Soon enough, you should expect to receive deportees, Eris living in Ethiopia will be expelled, kicked out back to the province which some call the North Korea of Africa.

Ethiopians are peace loving people who have no need to prove Eritrea will be severely punished for her hand in training terrorists. However, we have, can and will at any time come in and spank your kit when necessary. Never forget that.

@ HagereEthiopia,
First of all you need to learn and accept that Eritrea is no longer your province, as Eritrean Flag is erected side by side of Ethiopia at the UN Headquarters in New York and allover the world (you like it or not). And for the people YES we chose our destiny 99.8% have signed for FREE Eritrea that ones been occupied by cruel opportunists who cannot even organise whatever they have at hand but always look for more.
You said you are going to come and spank my ass, why? why do you need to come and abuse me when I do not want anything to do with you? why are you always after me? why do you wide open your door for my young and welcome them to end up at your mercy, with the hope that you can manipulate their brains and antagonise Eritrea, why? Why not control your borders? Why all the threat? I am disgusted and tired fighting you. But you still salivate for more war and willing to cross the border with all your armaments agressively to kill me. Who is the terrorist here? God has the power to keep you away from Eritrea as he did to all others.
Peace is the ONLY solution for generations to come. Learn from your mistakes because you cannot even spank your wife day and night and still ask her to love you. Act wisely my neighbor.

Comment from: Sincerely yours [Visitor]
As usual some of fellow countrymen, the famous vocal minority, that belongs to the Isaias-sect comes here to scream. Sorry Ethiopians, but dont listen to them, these are being paid or something because as soon as an article appears on the internet, within 10min you will se braindead comments like "we are him, he is us", "best leader in africa" bla bla bla.

We the majority of Eritreans called them psychotic iditots. They have lost their braincapacity and have become Isaias robots with empty heads.

It seeem a 14 year conflict has created a situation where certain groups and individuals feeds of this conflict. We should all be aware of this when we read especially the comments here. No matter what Eritrea and Ethiopia are two brothernations that will regain their friendship.

What we are seeing in Eritrea is a reaction that will continue to grow and demand reform or there will be a gaddafi moment in Eritrea.

When that is succesfull i will welcome Ethiopians that wants to visit Eritrea and i hope the invitation is both way.

Peace and development for both Ethiopia and Eritrea!

@ Bethihu,
Eritreans been white slaves decades back. How about your woyane Masters enslaving the white on this modern age? Woyane supporters, you are not ashamed to call all others for slaves when you sell my country for coins to any passerby and still bow your head to beg on my people's name for more dollars. You are not only selling the people of Ethiopia but our resources and our dignity at one and same time too. Nothing is left to be proud of.

Comment from: Inferiority Complex [Visitor]
Woyane are jelouse and mad at Shabias because they failed to free tgray the cause they been fighting for decades as TPLF but unlikely shabias luckied to free themselves from the rest. Now the question is, does opposing shabias worsen tgray stand among both people? yes! because woyane confessed many times that they are the ones who supported shabia all the way. Even meles himself has said that they will be by their side if any war broke out. Woyane's crime upon Ethiopians is major and the people of tgray have to pay the price for many years to come. The reason of all evil but fake hate stories among the two. People of Ethiopia is no fool no more. Kick woyanes back to tgray.
