The Eritrean Syllogism

Syllogism: A formal deductive argument made up
of a major premise (1), a minor
premise (2), and a conclusion (3). Accordingly: 1) Almost all African countries were created by Colonialism and as a
result possess well-documented colonial boundaries that delimit and demarcate
their respective sovereignty and territorial integrity. 2) ERITREA is one such African country. 3) Therefore, ERITREA was created by Colonialism and as a result
possesses well-documented colonial boundaries that delimit and demarcate its
sovereignty and territorial integrity. Eritrea was a unique colony because the end of
Colonialism did not, like its sister colonies, yield its immediate national
independence but Eritrea was subjected to over 9 decades of successive,
various and varying British and Ethiopian colonial occupation. But despite
and in spite of that and the nature and duration of colonial administration,
its colonial borders remained and still remain unchanged to this hour,
minute, and second. The Eritrean syllogism is real and is based on
solid facts not on anecdotal hearsay and fairy tales, as is the recently
quoted bogus and nonexistent “Ethiopian syllogism”. Eritrea will prevail |
