    The Eritrean youth in France as anywhere else allergic to the tyranny destroying their country of origin where there is no constitution, no justice and no respect for basic human and democratic rights. The youths abroad are forced to attend government organized meetings in Western capital because if they didn't their relatives back home will be harmed or the youths will be denied visas if they want to visit aging grandparents or other relatives. History is never on the side of tyranny. But Eritrean youths ought to begin making personal sacrifices and act and speakout against the Eritrea's primitive tyinnical rule which observers describe as the worst in today's Africa.
