Eritrea:
Many Africans of slave mentality, worship foreign powers

In
an editorial
posted yesterday, 20 Aug 08, on his tyranny-perpetuating propaganda
website, Eritrea ruler Isaias Afawarki bluntly charged many Africans
with “deep-rooted slave mentality and worship of foreign
powers”.
“The
Eritrean people and government’s earnest efforts to promote
peace and stability in the region and foster regional harmony and
cooperation can be attested to by all peace-loving quarters.
Unfortunately due to the continuous plots to reduce regional and
international organizations to mere tools at the hands of super
powers and the deep-rooted slave mentality and worship of foreign
powers among many Africans, the afore-mentioned objectives have made
no progress. The regional organization of IGAD had for instance
abandoned its founding objectives and finally became a tool at the
disposal of foreign powers,” said second paragraph from
last of the editorial.
That
is right. If other Africans don’t bow in deference to Afewerk’s
tyrannical ‘My way or the highway’ modus operandi it is
because of ‘deep-rooted slave mentality of many Africans’.
And when Eritrea ruler can’t get it his way in foreign
relations, it is because ‘many Africans worship foreign powers’
not because of his counterclockwise ticking cerebral neuronal units.
In that same editorial, tyrant Afawerki once again
underlined his ‘IGAD my way or the highway’ stance:
“Hence,
if IGAD is to effectively realize its founding objectives as per the
wishes and desires of the people and Government of Eritrea and that
of the people of the Horn region as a whole, it will have to
reorganize and restructure its programs and priorities according to
the present needs of the region. And developing a sense of self-worth
and discarding the existing slave mentality and worship of external
powers are the first steps to this end”, yes you read it
right. Afewarki has reinforced his prior preconditions with the
warning for IGAD to discard “the existing slave mentality and
worship of external powers” and develop “a sense of
self-worth”, which in Afewarki’s perverted mind Africans
lack, as one of “the first steps”. Poor IGAD, how much
more of this tyrannical insanity of Almighty Eritrea ruler Afewarki
could it yet take?
Of
course there is always a little some thing for domestic public
consumption that helps boost the tyranny-perpetuating machine. For
that, ruler Afewarki brings back memories of the glorious past of
independence struggle. “The EPLF which had led the Eritrean
people’s struggle for independence to a victorious culmination
understood from the beginning that peace and stability as well as
economic and cultural development cannot be bound to the borders of
one country and has since been making whatever contribution it can to
regional peace and stability”, boasted the editorial.
Just
for the record, the EPLF as such does not exist neither as a party,
front, or any kind of political organization in Eritrea any more. The
tyrant himself dissolved the EPLF in its last congress already in April
of 1994 over 14 years ago now and replaced it with yet another
non-existent political organization dubbed PFDJ then that has
never met again since- >14 years.
Further,
the EPLF did not lead but assumed that role by default after
liquidating the rivaling mother front, the Eritrean Liberation Front
(ELF), militarily in 1981, 11 years after being part of it, with the
armed adjutancy of the then friend now foe Tigrai Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF),
the dominant ruling party of Ethiopia’s Meles Zenawi. For its
services, the TPLF was then awarded the town Badme, casus belli of
the border war, only to turn around and call it invasion then and occupation now. Ruler Afawerki himself said emphatically that the border war over Badme was unnecessary, yet he didn't care to sacrifice unnecessarily the lives of 29,000 young Eritreans over unnecessary war!
Via the said editorial, Eritrea ruler Afawerki invokes and demands of IGAD respect for “the wishes and desires of the people and Government of Eritrea”. It sounds good but that is tyrannical hypocrisy unedited and at its utmost best. Here you got a man that has obliterated the wishes and desires of the people of Eritrea without an iota of shame and even boasts about now demanding of others the respect of? Oh please!
Talk about “the Government of Eritrea”. What “Government”? Yes, “as per the wishes and desires of the people”, the people of Eritrea have not only the inalienable right but are also unequivocally entitled to exercise this their right to elect and establish their government, government of Eritrea, as they so wish. But you, tyrant Afewerki, have single-handedly denied the people of Eritrea this right. So, let me turn the favor to you and demand that you, ruler Afewarki, first and foremost respect the desires and wishes of the people of Eritrea before demanding same from others. Makes sense, wouldn't it?
Again what 'Government'? Tyrant Afawerki, you are not governing for you don't have the expressed consent of the governed-the entire people of Eritrea- but ruling by the barrel of the gun. Therer is no “Government” but Reign of The Barrel of The Gun, sir.
The
editorial concludes by equating Afawerki’s ‘My way or the
highway’ tyrannical modus operandi to ‘Self-Confidence’
implying some thing that other Africans should emulate. Good luck!
Well, take a breather America and the UN; brace for the worst Africa for Eritrea tyrant Afewarki is coming at you!
Oh Heavens, save the people and country of Eritrea from this tyrannical madness!
People of the world and passive Eritreans, woe upon you, for thou shallt be held responsible for thy inactions!
