In this final phase of Eritrean phenomenon, we see a re-visit of the
early 50's, where the episode [the journey for nation hood originated ].
The 50's; being the foundation where the Eritrean battle for
independence took shape, The political awareness; through mass
organization; international activism; political and diplomatic struggle
in the international arena, mainly [the UN].
At the time the major powers mainly Great Britain, Who took Eritrea in
1941, from Italy. In it's campaign to dissolve Eritrea's existence as a
state, destroyed and looted most of the infrastructure and industries.
such as: the US built airport; dismantled rail roads and the
floating dry dock at Massawa and sold it to the Sudan and Pakistan ;
some boats to Italians and Arabs. Exterminate the coffee, cotton, and tobacco
plantation destroying the gold mine, etc… To bring Eritrea below Ethiopia
economically and to force skilled labor to immigrate to Ethiopia.
Nevertheless, all this couldn't put a dent on Eritreas determination
for independence.
Troubled by the political awareness and nationalism of
Eritreans, England dispatched a liaison officer commissioner on
January 27, 1950 by the name of Stafford. With a mission to form Angelo
Ethiopian front to coordinate a propaganda campaign inside the UN and to
encourage split discretely among the nationalists. Mainly The "LPP"
[liberal progressive party] and the independent block, inside Eritrea. To
join the fraudulent organization made up of few Ethiopian sponsored
Bandits so called "unionist party" in support of
"union" with Ethiopia.
Besides concern of feudal Ethiopia's incompetence of absorbing Eritrea. Great
Britain was worried by the Apparent Eritrea's sustained cohesive unity and
exhibited might to liberate itself.
Alarmed by the secretary of the UN commission in Eritrea, Schmidt's
genuine believe, " That nothing could stop Eritreans nationalism from
accomplishing a complete independence." And The tremendous support of
Eritrean's independent in the UN and the split among big powers,
England was about to be forced to put off the Eritrean agenda from the
UN and to continue administrating for another ten years.
Eventually they were able to pull the rug from underneath our feet. By
terminating the formal consultation with Eritrean political parties and
people, on October 8,1951. And allow Ethiopia with the help of the Italian
government and others to progressively abolish and annex Eritrea.
Nevertheless, showing great endurance to the international community, in the
face of England's repressive maneuver to weaken and abolish Eritrea as a
State, and, Ethiopia's harassment and killing Eritreans by organizing a
little band of Shifta in the shadow of the British.
We begin our journey going it alone in pursuit of our independence, to save
the country that is looted and stolen from us, unjustly.
Disappointed by Eritrea's triumph despite the web of difficulty that
blanketed its endeavor to achieve independence, the militia breeding pan
handling, Tigray dominated expansionist Ethiopia not learning from the
mistakes of it's predecessors for the last half a century, is now reading
from the old 50's trick.
Exhausted all the avenue to break our unity and diversity through his
mercenaries, [the G-gondars] including, encouraging and sponsoring these
white collar international bandits, [most of the G-13]. Who eat their cake
with Hailesselasse and Mengestu respectively, are now in its door steps to
eat Ertiea's cake.
Through perpetuating cliché to circumvent the objective reality. By attacking
our slogan; symbol of freedom; our pride; flag and leader.
Above all, Our enemy is this militia breeding expansionist Ethiopia that is
siting on our land and threatening our sovereignty. Besides
disease, hunger, illiteracy and corruption. Not our flag, unity or leader.
Running out of time and space, frustrated Ethiopia is in a row with the UN to
take the issue back to OAU, Where it easily can manipulate and intimidate to
get its way and buy time to start another war. [The recent visit to
deal arm by the Premier to Russia affirms just that].
This Expansionist Ethiopia's desperate move, to enter upon a failed 50 years
scheme at the end of the line, with this remote notion of Regional power,
with "NGO" based economy, would be a recipe for disaster.
