SINGAPORE OR SINGLE AND POOR?

posted 16 Aug 2005

The aim of the Eritrean struggle was not only the liberation of the Eritrean land but its object was to establish a constitutional democratic state. Eritrea’s were dreaming Eritrea to be the Singapore of Africa in the form of political stability and economic growth and to be the leading country especially in the horn of Africa in business and tourism.

Singapore of Africa (Eritrea) since the arrival of the dictator and his regime become single (isolated) and poor [...]

Indeed we made it through

But, still a good way to go

Eritrean Congress Party

July 30, 2005

It has been already announced that the UNITY OF SEVEN, the Eritrean Democratic Front has developed into a solid party namely Eritrean Congress Party.  If information is power, then this declaration, a success first of its kind is part of it.

Under our thoroughly digested slogan that in our situation power can only be gained through relative unity, we made it through.  But, when we say there is a good way [...]

Authorship: a quest for relevance

By Abdul Rahim Ibrahim 28 July 2005

   

This brief, un-researched and (on-the-go) article is designed to critically consider some of the issues which might be entailed in pursuing the “craft of writing”. Also, in connection with the topic and, if only, for the purpose of illustration, a special mention of Saleh AA Younis as author is made.

Whilst, there are many aspects – on its own right, each no less significant – to be conscious of when writing in any [...]

THE EXPERT HAS SPOKEN – SO LET US LISTEN TO THE EXPERT

This article is a reflection on Mr. Ibrahim Haj’s recent interview on VoE & articles on various websites. Mr. Beshir Nur, 1st secretary & Consul General also conducted an interview on VoE regarding the same subject “situation of Eritrean migrants in Australia”. While I admire both men as persons and brothers, I can’t hide my repeated disappointment in Ibrahim’s style and responses. From my observation, Mr. Beshir has been more reasonable in his responses, leaving aside the typical spin that [...]

Root causes of Africa’s Plight: Totalitarianism and Corruption

By Salah Ibrahim, 5 July 2005

People who witnessed last weekend’s “Live 8 Concert” in the big cities of the eight most industrialised nations, commonly known as G8, must have been deeply moved by the global event that attracted over a million people to the different venues. “More than 26 million people worldwide sent text messages on Saturday to support Live 8, setting a world record for a single event”, organisers said. The theme of the event was “make poverty history”, [...]

Eritreans in Faraway Australia

By Woldeyesus Ammar

Posted :  July 1, 2005

In the old good days when Eritreans were not yet  afflicted by the virus of exile, Oceania or Downunder or Australia, as it is commonly known, was considered as a faraway fairy-tale land beyond the reach of any Eritrean. The only compatriot I knew who went that far by 1971 was Mensura Abdalla Baho from my hometown, Keren, who settled there with her husband of Australian nationality. I thought that would be about it [...]

Call for Civil disobedience.

 “Yes, our dreams for a free nation kept growing in line with our sacrifices and so were the promises till the pledged day was attained, the day when the enemy was defeated and irrevocably vacated. But the policies of the regime (Eritrean) allowed its (enemy’s) come back and smear the soil while reviving the dreams of some Ethiopians for an access to the sea to the extent Assab became the aspiration”

No disrespect, but the “ELF” is IRRELAVANT!

By: Ibrahim Hajj

22 June 2005

No one in his right frame of mind could deny the historical role that the mighty ELF (1961-1981) had played in the context of our long and arduous struggle for freedom, nor could any anyone with the slightest sense of fairness and  commonsense could fail to credit “Jabha Abbai” with preparing our people in the 60s and 70s for the armed struggle against  the occupation. To deny that is an absolute folly.
