Since winning its de facto independence in May 1991, Eritrea has come to represent a tragedy, laments Selam Kidane.

yes you are right isayas has entered history by and genius book of records by dowing things never done before by any one like : - creating the biggest prison in the world having about four million prisoners, making the first country with out constutition,law ,budjet.univerisity and highcourts .AND BY THE WAY DONTS SAY (OUR HERO)SAY MY HERO.
nOTE : I AM ERITREAN , MAY BE NATIVE ERITRAN THAN YOU BECAUSE I THINK YOU ARE (TIGRINYA) ETHNIC GROUP AND AS WE ALL kNOW THE TIGRINYA PEOPLE ARE ORIGINALLY from (tigray) in ethiopia so dont insult you grandfathers.
As a Pan-aficanist (Ghanian) who has travelled all over the continent...I have seen many different political regimes and spoken to many different people. I was in Asmara and 2005 and can report that true indeed...the people are suffering. The Goverment controls everything and has taken control over every part of the economy and now wants 100% control of the people. The continual face-off against Ethiopia is just a convenient ruse to press-gang the population into subservience and control every lever of production. The Youth do not want to spend their life at a war-front like their elders. Young Eritreans flee Sarwa and pass into Sudan, Algeria, Kenya, Djibouti. The spirit of Freedom can never be controlled. The Eritrean govt and their secret service personnel cannot control the Internet. Afwerki, you have killed the spirit and joy achieved through independence.
SelamAgame, You know nothing,but this article. You always keep writing this article in different websites why? If you don't like Eritreans go in Eritrea and kill them like your father and other agame did and stll doing. By saying that i am not the supporter of your master Issayas or his followers, but you just nothing but shelle "dog" of Adisopian(Ethiopian), so all of you g to h*ll you and Issays. Cuz i know that you Selam work wth ssayas and meles just like your father. So stop acing as Eritrean here. Why you don't write about agame and what they doing to Eritrea right now? I know you will not write about that cuz you happy about what is going on in Eri. We know you guys. Tenkolgna!!
BTW How is your husband ex Ethiopian solider doing?
well done (queen eri) you see selam (or what ever ,g\kirstos or letemriam is your real name)that is the feeling which the real eritreans are having and that is the true ok we know your plan about sucking eritrea's economy the same issayas is doing , and going back to your home land (tigray).but thats only your dream ,because all the (netsuhat)eritreans together will not let do that and one day will come an we will take tyrant issayas to the high court and will be asked about thousands of young eritreans who are killed in all the wars which was created by him for nothing,we will not forget their blood and those thousands who are taken at knight from their lovers,homes and disspeared up to now..and at last he will be HUNGED publically for hi crimed.
Our president is our hero as wel as our histry.He made histry! anyway. Isaias did his homework. Do u ? i dont think so, b/s i knouw that u are stil lives in dreaming. I think it would be beter, if u only give any commets about your president, Meles zenawi b/s i am sure that u are an ethiopian. So u dont have any right to talk about Isaias or Eritrea.
