    The Eritrean authorities keep talking about routine construction works whenever they are cornered and intensely denounced for their brutalities against the people. The world knows these construction projects are carried out with the slave labor of Eritrean youth. Youngsters spend their precious days fetching stones in primitive method of construction works. There is no benefit in this. The youth should be in schools instead or at least be paid for their sweat. A nation is built on principles of freedom and democracy, not on slave labor.

    is the grinder the problem of most of the poeple?, why is the GVT practicing such a project which is not necessary at the moment ? as such Money 20 M.NKF Equivalent to 667 000 euro (1=30) , and if the machine is from Italy most probably second hand in the market is 800000, then why is the real value lowered and show the public mini costs...? the building including design and construction costs in market of the country more than 20 milion nkf, is this price will be publicized... to the public ? No....the benefit of the generals and their followers is from the purchase of the construction material... indirect owners of building material shops and dealers.......ill projects will continue by sncking the blood of the youngsters.
