"SPEAKING TRUTH TO EMPOWER"
Eritrea Tyrant's Weekly Embarrassment: Lampedusa renders Asmara Mining Conference Nonevent!  
13 October 2014

 


As much as Eritrea tyrant wants and wishes it, Lampedusa is not going away no matter what. Yet, Eritrea tyrant has not left and will not leave any stone unturned in a futile attempt to blunt, obliterate or even make Lampedusa disappear! History persists, events and facts are stubborn; they just don't go away or can be rescheduled because some tyrant wishes or wants!

Yet, last week, first week of October, for example, while Eritreans all over the world and Italian activists have been getting ready to commemorate 1st Anniversay of the 3 Oct 2013 Lampedusa Massacre of 369 Eritrean Refugees 1- 4 Oct 2014, Eritrea tyrant has been busy advertising and promoting a competing event for the same period, 1-5 October International Asmara Mining Conference comprising of no less than 50 international Mining Companies from the entire world. But lo and behold: Eritrea tyrant lost the comptetion embarrassingly: While
Lampedusa, rightly so, turned out to be a world event for it enjoyed international media coverage, Eritrea tyrant's Mining conference turned out to be utter non-event for not one single media reported it let alone cover it!

That said and just for the record,
LAMPEDUSA IS NOT ANONYMOUS, IT THE MASSACRE OF HUNDREDS OF ERITREAN REFUGEES. Hence, it must be commemorated as such. This sacrifice of Eritrean refugees helped, rightly so, the international to focus on the plight of Refugees from Africa and the Middle East  in their attempts to reach Europe and triggered actions to prevent such shocking human tragedy.

As for Eritrea tyrant, unless he reschedules it, his Mining Conference will always remain nonevent should he decide to hold it at same time as the Commemoration of Lampedusa Massacre of Eritrean Refugees.
