The New World-order: Ethiopia’s nightmare, Eritrea’s resurrection

By Esayas Temesgen

 

 

Now at the eleventh hour few hired guns in the foreign media and the nostalgic Ahmaras, [The natural menace of Eritrea]. Are taking their last shot at Eritrea’s sovereignty lobbing and disseminating misinformation at The Hague.   These institution embarrassment and professional perjurers, who were talking about sixty million [militia breading theory] when it comes to war between Eritrea and Ethiopia,  to glamour killing and distraction. and yet they talk about population control: such as family planing ; contraception and abortion, when it comes to feeding African kids.

 

The truth of the matter is our country with its infrastructure intact was handed over illegally to a neighboring country which was less civilized and developed at the time.

 

Today, unlike the Old World order,[the cold war] we have a complete superstructure.  Our Army, Navy, Air Force the Court and Police, i.e. The government of Eritrea [GoE] lead by our President,  with Eritrean people behind him and our flag flying at the United Nations,  it is more difficult to the court at the Hague not to be faire-minded about our boarder.

 

The pride in our past achievement, that enabled us to face the present with its risk, to pave the way to our future, is what motivates and guide us to accomplish our task. Unlike these minute irrelevant; pseudo intellectuals;  Hailesselase’s foster kids, who mock our historical achievements and future ambition.  We have a present which is a by-product of our recorded past and a resource to our future.

 

The world took 50 years’ to allow Eritrea to exhibit the ability not only to govern itself, but, also to proof its position in the region, as equilibrium to the regions religion and ethnic antagonism. At the inception of  the Old World order, Eritrea didn’t lose its sovereignty without a fight and raising controversy, support and acknowledgment of its superior socioeconomic development than that of Ethiopia and Ethiopia’s lie and deception, at the foreign desk of the UK. and the U.S. 

 

On January 22, 1949, Lord Jowitt. [Lord Chancellor]argued that,  “ it was deplorable to cede any part of Eritrea to a more or less primitive savagery.” Instead of placing it under United Nations control, we were now proposing to hand over a further piece of territory to be mal-administered by barbarians.”

 

On the other side a diplomat  like Lascelles an Ambassador of Great Britain to Addis Ababa. Although he understood and argued about  Ethiopia’s corrupt and destabilized government to his boss Stafford, [British liaison  in Eritrea] ironically was coerced by Stafford to ignore the fact and follow a different course.

 

Accordingly, Lascelles argued that “Ethiopia’s acquisition of Eritrea is crucial for the economic development and political modernization of Ethiopia”.  A union of the two countries would serve to “accelerates this process by passing the inferior socioeconomic formation of Ethiopia. To satisfy the need of Ethiopia’s acute need for competently trained officials, to the contrary of Brigadier F.G [chief administrator of Eritrea], who argued against Ethiopia’s meddling in Eritrea. Disregarding that it is morally wrong and politically a mistake to impose economic and social regression on Eritrea.

 

The United States, in London, in September 1945  led by Secretary of State James F. Byrnes,  at the council of the foreign ministers of Great Britain, France and the Untied States. [CFM], for the disposition of the Italian Colonies: Eritrea, Libya and Italian Somalia. Before it was ill-fated. Submitted a Proposal for collective United Nations trusteeship, to set up an administration to individual colonies, “ A  UN  Trusteeship Council that would allow them to be independent after ten years time. To assist the colonies to develop their country and with assurance that the colonies will not be developed for any kind military advantage to  any one.”

 

It was apparent that Ethiopia at the time was prevaricating to the international community particularly to the United State. To undermine the determined strength of  Eritrea’s resistance movement and unity against Ethiopia’s interference in Eritrea’s internal affairs. Exaggerating his mercenaries insignificance, The so called “Unionist”. As it’s fabrication, about his present day mercenaries, these phony intellectuals and international bandits. The [G’s] ability to overthrow our government.

 

Paddock, at that time the US representative at the UN. in his report to State department exposed Negg’s, [the Ethiopian liaison Officer] lie about the Independent block, the active mass organization at the time.  Paddock understood well,  that Ibrahim Sultan Ali who was lobbing at the UN, is a dedicated leader of the independent block. As a champion of the serf movement against the Muslim aristocrats in western Eritrea. With a solid support from Eritrean masses at home, “is capable of convincing as many delegates as possible to obtain majority vote in favor of Eritrea’s right to independence”.

 

Paddock alarmed by the determination of Eritrean’s and their leaders, not to mention the increasing defection of traitors the so called “Unionist” to independent block, insisted that  “Negga to negotiate cabinet seats for the traitors to keep them from defection”. [this is similar to that of  the third offensive what Ethiopia’s premier was boasting to the west, “that he has set up a government to replace the present Eritrean government and that he will do it in seventy two hours”.

 

Unlike the Old World order in the New World order These self-deception of present Ethiopia’s leaders to fold our flag, to overthrow or kill our president, to destroy our army and soak up our country, has became noting but a nightmare.
