In its edition of 19 May 2008, the leading French newspaper, Le Monde, quoted President Isaias Afwerki as underscoring that Eritrea's political process has been impeded due to the TPLF regime's war of aggression and continued interference on the part of the US Administration and the CIA.
Stating that the process might be impeded as a result of external conspiracies and obstacles but could never be stopped, the President pointed out that political pluralism designed to foment division and conflict among the society on the basis of ethnicity, religion or other forms of sub-national sentiments has no acceptance in Eritrea. He further elaborated that for political pluralism in the yet undeveloped multi-tribal African society to reach the desired stage in a manner that serves the collective interest of these societies, it requires a long political, social, economic and cultural transformation process. "It is dangerous to directly copy and apply the experience that any country has gone through," President Isaias underlined.
Stressing that pretending to assume what you really are not simply to please others constitutes a strategic political error, the President explained that the US Administration's campaign and conspiracies aimed at tarnishing Eritrea's image is nothing but desperate attempts to cover up the failure of its policies.
Indicating that Eritrea would not compromise its sovereignty for the sake of a handful of aid, he stated that it is the US Administration which impeded the implementation of the final and binding ruling of the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission, and as such the Administration has become part of the conflict. President Isaias elaborated that after 6 years of appeal and expectation, the Commission reached virtual demarcation, thus marking the legal and technical conclusion of the border issue. In this respect, he reminded the United Nations including the Security Council to respect the rule of law and fulfill their obligation.

As regards the so-called border problem between Eritrea and Djibouti, the President pointed out that it is pure fabrication with an incitement from behind. He further indicated that Eritrea is investigating the motives, details and incitement lying behind. President Isaias underlined that Eritrea is not at all inclined to get involved in a new problem or regional crisis.
Eritrea: the Government vs. the People
It is time for the Eritrean leadership to stop blaming the US or Ethiopia or any other third party for the country’s political and economic hurdles. This stance is a sign of weakness of leadership. It only delays the social and democratic changes which the Eritrean people desperately need in order to begin to enjoy the benefits of their hard-won liberation almost two decades ago.
Eritrea will never be able to get out of its current dilemma if it allows its real or perceived enemies to determine its future. The best way for Eritrea... [Read Full Text]

Exiled Anuak prepare to confront Ethiopia official
By MARTIGA LOHN, Associated Press WriterSat May 31, 11:08 AM ET
Being in the same Minneapolis hotel building is about as close as Peter Omot wants to get to Omot Obang Olom, the Ethiopian official he holds responsible for the massacre of more than 400 of his ethnic kin.
Peter Omot, a 35-year-old member of the Anuak ethnic minority, says he won't enter the room where Omot, the governor of the country's western Gambella region, will speak to the local community-in-exile on Saturday.
Gov. Omot was in charge of security when, according to... [Read Full Text]
Dear Editor, Mr. Solomon, his TPLF & forgein masters, litteraly committing out right fraud & desperatly trying to mislead anyone who comes as close as to reading their half-baked "theories and articles", would like the world to believe, that 50 years of Ethiopian persistent suicidal military adventures against Eritrea, Somalia or it's own multi-ethnic "Ethiopian citizens" or the constant supply of American and Russian arms, the global conspiracy to force Eritrea to succumb and surrender it's independence to the American sponsored United Nations "federal" or boader resolutions, has nothing to do with half a century of...

Democracy can only be achieved by free elections. Seventeen years is plenty of time to squeeze an election. Power corrupts. How true.
Is that Woldu Solomon from Comboni
Yes, every political problem we have in Eritrea is because of the TPLF and indirectly, US. Had Ethiopia accepted the algeirs agreement, there would have been peace by now, relations restored, elections, and a lot of prosperity. But Isayas rightly said, elections cannot happen unless the 'war' between Ethiopia and us is over. And regarding the aids matter; actually, every country should follow Eritrea's way. Depending on foregin powers will ALWAYS make us dependents to them. US might want to have a base in Eritrea, as its a very excellent strategic area. And it will want A LOT in return...

You want to know why the Algiers agreement didnt go through. It's because none of the U.N. members take the Eritrean problem seriously. No country is going to put its neck on the table for a country that is not democratic, and acts like the bully of the neighborhood. Lets stop blaming everybody for our problems. Once we have democratic free elections which is the right thing to do other U.N. members will take us seriously. Do you realize that we are one earthquake, flood, or drought away from receiving foreign aid.
