DICTATORIAL
SYSTEM DOES NOT COME OUT OF THE BLUE, BUT RUN BY DICTATORS
BY EAIM
Eritreans through out our history recognized the need for our
own system of government for the people by the people and to the
people. Our struggle enabled us to get rid of colonialism with the
heavy lose of life and property not taking into account how
colonialism hampered our economic and social development. To the
surprise of ourselves, the world community and peace living nations we
ended up with brutal dictatorship. After all those sacrifices in our
armed struggle how could such thing happen? Most Eritreans believed in
bright future and fought side by side irrespective of nationality for
the common question first and for most which is colonialism. Eritrean
liberation heroes do remember now the tricks of these dictators used
to play military slogans like “ pack up and walk until your legs fail
you, where you never ask –tebges yebluka tebeges , kid kesab egrka
tegurest, naby aytehateten, ”. It is unfair for some if we generalize
because some who went to a battle with Ibrahim Affa say he told them
where they were going, the strength of the enemy at that battle and
how they should withdraw if things did not go the way they planed.
Some also went to a battle with other leaders in which the pack up
slogan was sang and ended up our martyrs being over ran by Ethiopian
tanks with no directives of withdrawal.
For those fighters who envisioned
dictatorship was brewing their nick names was petty bureau, educated
opportunist, anarchists, “menka” extreme leftists, etc and the people
who were propagating such malicious insults to our visionary fighters
were these pseudo- revolutionaries who used to write the editorials of
the fronts.
Nearly all Eritreans now realized
that the only way to achieve our dream of democratic government is to
stay in the course of struggle against dictatorship, by all means
possible.
Fellow Eritreans, as we lurch from
crises to crises, we have to stand on our feet, on our move. We
entered the heart of Eritrea in 1991 through the rubbles of war,
ruined cities, parched fields, shrinking forests, dying rivers,
craters left by F5 bombs. After all those sacrifices of our gallant
fighter brothers and sisters, now our country, almost cease to be
merely a country and became the prison of its citizens. Ladies and
gentle men and fellow Eritreans the scale of operation or the
governance system should change dramatically once and for all.
The other day I talked to a young
Eritrean who came to the US who is fortunate enough to escape EPDJ
prison. I asked him how life was in Eritrea. He said “, it would be an
utter lie if I say to you it was fine. I read about slavery in my
history lessons, but I don’t think you will believe me if I say to you
slavery is the Eritrean experience of every day life”.
Eritrea faces very serious challenge
in the task of nation building and growth of the political culture,
which accepts that all the citizens and every citizen should be free
to participate in framing the destiny of the country in accordance
with his or her conscience.
EPDJ
DICTATORSHIP WORKS FOR ITS DOWNFALL
Dictators always work for their downfall, because any thing
they do is not for the benefit of the people they are supposed to
serve, but for themselves and in away oppress the citizenry. Any thing
beneficial to the people is beyond the scope of their political
understanding. Here is how the EPDJ dictatorial regime works for its
downfall:
·
Enslave Eritrans in the
name of national service and defense of the mother- land.
·
Massacres people.
·
Herd Eritreans in prisons
of unknown locations.
·
Open accounts and invests
in places like China while Eritrea is deprived of hard currency.
·
Practice corruption and
bribery in governance.
·
Dived and rule.
·
Cause human suffering of
mal-nutrition, hunger, illness, and ignorance.
·
Cause economic destruction
by governing the country with no economic plan.
·
Cause severe bodily and
mental pains on the people who govern.
·
Creates flood of refugees.
·
Violet political rights,
human and individual rights, religious rights, nationality rights and
personal property rights.
HOW
DICTATORS PERISH:
·
Mass violence. People reach
the point of intolerable situation and burst in to violence with what
they have at hand and subdue the dictators.
·
Commit suicide after being
paranoid.
·
Sudden death of ill health
developed of immature and anti–social behavior.
·
Kill one another of being
suspicious to each other.
·
Run away from grip of power
as a last resort to save their lives.
·
Go to prison after, a
successful opposition struggle get rid of the dictatorial system.
DEMOCRATS DONOT GLORIFY DICTTORS:
EPDJ dictatorial regime is made up of Eritreans who came to
power by committing crimes during the armed struggle. The EPDJ power
elite has caused irreversible harm to the country and the people of
our country that we love the most. In our opinion their negative
contribution does far out weigh their positive contribution and that
is why we are waging struggle by all means possible to get rid of
dictatorship and erect democracy. The squade of the dictatorial
leadership until and unless they severe relations with the dictatorial
system they serve, get no sympathy, recognition or glorification, from
the people they oppress and dehumanize.
A member of the EPDJ dictatorial
regime top leadership, whether he/she is from Adi keih, Mendefera,
Keren, Kombushtato, Nakfa, Hirgigo, Asab or Barentu deserves the sword
of the Eritrean people. As for Ali Said Abdella, Germai Kidane ( wedi
Flippo) said it well. No crocodile tears for a dictator not alone
obituary or glory. The only positive thing is, Eritrea is minus one
dictator of the many to be captured and pay the time for their crime.
