"Shimelba
Camp" another new attack on Eritrea. If "media lies" were bullets being
fired, then the Nation of Eritrea is in constant fire may be even a worse
wildfire than that of California that did not stop burning, however the
Government and people of Eritrea are fully aware of the deception and the
unskilled armature journalists that keep shooting their ammunition at this
strong nation. Eritrean Americans should not be ashamed to speak up and stand
up for their rights as Eritrean Americans just like all other immigrant
American communities. That is why it has become imperative to expose the
dirty deeds of policy makers who are bought by money on the biggest shopping
plaza in Washington D.C otherwise known as Capitol Hill. Stealing large
chunks of the Ethiopian people's money as well as money coming from large
NGOs that supply the regime in Addis with endless financial gains, the
stories being fabricated and told are not what real facts are on the ground. Just a week ago before the young armature writer
for News week Jason McLure, who by the way has never been to Eritrea like
most other writers, decided to submit his article "Waiting for war"
to one of the biggest news magazines in the world (Newsweek), I met with
an Eritrean who came from that very same camp after several years of misery
and false hope given by those who lured him away from his family and nation.
He had served in the Eritrean Military and was physically and mentally
damaged from the war and especially his long stay at this hell known as
Shimelba camp. After getting information about this camp and also discussing
it with others who know a lot about this makeshift camp I learned that it was
created at the expense of millions of dollars, of which most of the
money would be pocketed by the brutal regime in Addis. There are stories
of a few Eritreans that have committed suicide as a result of regret for
living their country and living under a tyranny by uneducated TPLF soldiers
who would force them to revolt against the Eritrean nation. Even the religion
card was played here where most of the refugees thought they would benefit by
changing their religion to dodge military service. The failure of the highest
institution in Eritrea the Orthodox Synods that was recruiting and
masterminding an overthrow of the Eritrean govt. under the leadership of
Abune Antonios. It gave the many brainwashed youngsters fake hope to
flee military service and go to this living hell known as Shimelba. Add to it
the fact that UNMEE soldiers were human trafficking youths, as well as the
undeniable fact that some soldiers were tired of being in the trenches for a
long time and were easily deceived, you have the making of a makeshift camp
not too far away from the Eritrean border. The Addis regime plotted this
terrible act with the help of British made Eritrean NGOs such as
"Release Eritrea" and others funded by Paulos Tesfaghiorghis
who has been seen roaming around the streets of Addis Abeba while
manipulative & ambitious young wannabe Eritreans like Selam
kidane who are salivating like a thirsty dog that the GOE will be
overthrown sometime soon and their masters will be in power. The use of propaganda to make it seem like there
are 15,000 Eritreans at this camp is a failed attempt at confusing the large
majority of Eritreans. As a matter of fact more than 75% of the population is
from Tigrai. It made more sense for them to settle in the camp and get the
small rations of food for free than work and get the same amount in their
little villages. The small numbers of Kunama who are pastoralists were also used
for numbers. By the way the Kunama population of Eritrea is over 200,000 and
with small refugee numbers in Sudan & Ethiopia that lived near the border
area of Eritrea, Shimelba was an easy place to settle for free food
rations. The fact remains that Eritrea is a nation that
will develop at it's own pace and as a result of many successful
results and also standing up for it's belief, it has been targeted by
the west with the regime in Addis as well as Eritrean sellouts in the
forefront to destabilize and psychologically disrupt it. The complex covert
operations and the behind-the-scenes manipulation of Eritrean events are
not going to bear fruit and the United States needs to change it's
policies. As Eritrean American It is my duty and the duty of every other
Eritrean American to speak up and help stop the madness that our
very State department lead by Condi Rice and Jandai Frazer are cooking
up against a nation that is just trying to come out of dependency unlike the
regime in Addis that will do anything at the expense of people's lives in the
whole horn of Africa, to cling on to power. Eritrean American.
