Eritrea Tyrant Insecure, Abolishes Tripartite Meet!

Eritrea tyrant Isias Afewarki left with profound insecurity about his life following recent attempt to liquidate him

Last month's (13 Aug) attempt to liquidate Eritrea tyrant Isias Afewarki that he escaped by a hair's breadth has left the tyrant with profound insecurity about his life. Ever since, Afewarki does not trust any more even his own shadow that existed in the form of a cohesive unit for years and is known as the 'Tripartite body'. Accordingly, Afewarki has abolished and replaced it with a certified tyrannical modus operandi of fracturing the body into its constituent elements and controlling each party separately ('Divide and Control'. In line with that, , for the first time, Afewarki conducted separate meetings first with the party of 'Cabinet ministers' only 2-3 September in Asmara, then with 'Zonal administrators' only 8-9 September in Mendefera.

So far, the remaining party to the 'Tripartite Gang', that of the Generals, has been shut out from any meetings and if and when tyrant Afewarki will conduct a separate meeting with the party of Generals only is up in the air! Even then what would the purpose of separate meeting with military generals be except for military issues like war or to use tyrant Afewarki's term for war or when his personal security is in danger, 'national security'? Is there any reason for that?

This situation was foreseeable following the mayhem during the last meeting of the 'tripartite gang' in December of last year when it ended up being a one-party meeting after the other two parities were barred from the meeting due to persistent wide rift among the participants over many issues.

Recap

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, he divided the country into six control regions that he dubbed 'administrative zones' to each of which he single-handedly picked and assigned zonal administrators and military commanders that he for sure knew were loyal enough to him to be trusted with defending, protecting and perpetuating tyrannical reign.

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!
