ERITREA: COMPLETE MAYHEM IN “TRIPARTITE MEETING”

14 December 2008, Massawa, Eritrea.-- Informed sources on site are reporting complete mayhem in the second day of the ongoing extraordinary meeting, aka “Tripartite Meeting”, that is taking place in the port city of Massawa, which meeting Eritrea ruler Afawarki was compelled to summon on Friday in light of the mounting mutiny in the military.

The “tripartite meeting”

After trashing the national constitution as only a piece of paper and dismissing any elections, Eritrea ruler Iseyas Afawarki assumed tyrannical grip on our country Eritrea by the barrel of the gun. Then, ruler Afawarki turned the country's six 'administrative zones' into his control regions to each of which he single-handedly picked and assigned zonal administrators and military commanders that he for sure knew were loyal enough to to trust them with perpetuating tyranny. This tyrannical scheme was then complemented by yet another control group that Afawarki again single-handedly picked and dubbed 'cabinet ministers', about 31 of them. That completes the make up and nature of the 'tripartite assembly' and with it also that of the ruling tyrannical oligarchy :1) Zonal administrators, 2) zonal commanders, and 3)cabinet ministers. That is the face of the brutal rule of the utter minority (40+) over the absolute majority(Millions) that the people of Eritrea have been subjected to.

Obviously, the function of the so established 'tripartite group' is not to offer advice and consent. No, Afawarki does not need neither their advice nor their consent but their unequivocal approval and endorsement of his tyrannical agenda. Remember, the “tripartite group” serves at the pleasure of tyrant Afawarki!

Now back to the issue at hand. Reliable sources on site reported that the cause of the mayhem in the “tripartite meeting' was the rift among the gathered over the demands of the mutinying army units that surfaced the day before and persisted yesterday. Since this rift could not be bridged, all but one of the zonal administrators and commanders were bounced out of the room. One, the administrator of South Red Sea zone, Osman Suleiman Omer, was kept in the room upon demand of some cabinet members that sympathized with the demands of the mutinying army units for further questioning.

Yet, at the end of the day, there persisted a wide rift among the remaining participants of the meeting over the issues of the day and the gathering was adjourned without reaching any consensus. asena-online.com
