THE ERITREAN PEOPLE DESERVES TO KNOW ABOUT THE AMERICAN MILITARY INVOLVEMENT IN THE WAR BETWEEN ERITREA  AND WOYANE OF THE YEAR 2000
 
The World may wonder why the Eritrean Government  and people are unhappy or bitter toward the American Government,Yes all we read and hear from mass media and officials is, America has not pressured Ethiopia to accept the border demarcation and politically is favoring Ethiopia,But is it  that all?is there any thing ells the world at large and particularly the Eritrean people need to know about the planers  and executors of those battles and war.Most if not all Eritreans wary lately about the American government threat and  lies. People wonder if it may help Woyane militarily against Eritrea if Woyane attack Eritrea.Well didn't  it happened already in the year 2000?wasn't it Woyane and American invasion of Eritrea?Let me share a disheartening information I heard from an Eritrean-American a friend of min some six month a go. My friend works in a research center in America and a lot of scientists,government officials and military commanders come to his work place for information or different reason and one day came an interesting man and started a conversation with my friend,The man asked my Eritrean American friend where he came from originally,my fried answered him that he was from Eritrea and the man said from that bad country. My friend asked the man why make him say that.well the American government say so said the man,And the man start to tell my friend that he was serving in the American navy in 2000 at the red sea area and he knows from first hand about the war between Eritrea and Ethiopia in 2000. He told him that his navy ship had received all information and an order to fire against Eritrean troops position on Asab and Badme front. He told him the U.S Navy fired many cruse missals in to the two fronts Asab and Badme at the Eritrean defense line. But with out not to mach success at the intent target.He told him in the Badme front they managed to break the Eritrean defense line according to the satellite pictures but they kill more livestock(animals) than Eritrean forces. On the Asab front the out come was total disaster for the Ethiopian forces because the Eritrean forces with drew from their First defense line and the Ethiopians moved in to that defense line with out communicating with the American navy comanders.the communication was bad because there was no direct communication from the U.S Navy ship Command to the Ethiopian front line Command,The communication was between the Navy ship and American officials in Addis Ababa, and then between  American officials in Addis and the Ethiopian leaders in Addis,so the American bombs reined on the Ethiopian forces by miscommunications, after that the battle became very close hand to hand between the two force and the cruse missals can not use any longer and the tough Eritrean forces slaughtered the Ethiopian forces badly and won the war with relatively less causality than the Ethiopians did. He told him Eritrean forces are very smart,organized and  very fast. If Ethiopia did not got all the help from big powers she would not be a mach to Eritreans.I am sure the Eritrean leadership knows these,but what evidence do they have to talk in the open other than saying we do not want to talk about it like president Isaias Afwerk said when asked by the National media.Even if the Chins or the Russians prove  to Eritrea with satellite evidence  that of American participation on behave of Woyane or even  if the Americans Admit their crime on our face then to what court of justice are the Eritrean Government going to take them. In any event if the Eritrean government want my friend Name and phone number I will be more than happy to provide them  with that. The Eritrean people are born like lions and should die like lions in pride .there is no fair justice in this crazy world at all besides greed and lie. The struggle shall go on and the Eritrean leaders are blessed  with wisdom and strength against all odds and evils.Now I am going to talk a little bit about president Isaias Afwerki message of advice(Ageb beluwom)to the American government  from Eritreans in America.Yes we all ways try to do so even during the struggle for independence years ,we Eritreans said  to the Americans and the special interest group you are died wrong about the Eritrean peoples struggle and identity matter. Case in point when I was in college in Boston my English and political science professor became very fascinated with me,Because every time she asked us to write about  any thing politics,culture,identity,religion,weather,natural geography,and so on I would write only about Eritrea. At first she did not like it,but after few days she beg me and encouraged me to write more to write about Eritrea. She was a part of a Jews group loping for the interest of the state of Israel. She introduced me to her organization and she was well traveled and very well knowledgeable about the world politics and social life. It was in the1990 soon after massawa liberation,which is at the highest stage of the Eritrean struggle for independence (srihit Fenqil) and here group was busy lobbing the Bush.Sr administration and Congress  to aid the Derg in Ethiopia,and she became in love with the Eritrean people cause and she ask me to write to her group about Eritrea under the EpLF leadership and Ethiopia under EPRDF administration will not be a threat to Israel but friendly countries.I told her I can direct her to the EPLF representative here in Boston or Washington DC to talk with them,i am just regular person from the Eritrean Masses.But she insisted that her organization want to her from the regular Eritreans like you not from the Political leadership of EPLF.and I said okay if that is what your organization  inters and will want to hear.
After the  Sadam Hussein invasion of Kuwait she quite teaching and became a full time lobster for her organization in Washington DC.But we still had contact and even she invited me to speak at her group conference in DC and I accepted their invitation and told them at the meeting no one can stopped the Eritrean independent and the change in Ethiopia even if America and Israel helps the Derg except to cause more civilian causality and bloodshed there,At the end the groups majority  opposed for the lobbing to help the Derg,they sent me all the letters copy the group sent to Congress and president Bush.Sr They also told me that they sent a copy to the EPLF leadership through the Washington DC office(Mr.Hagos Ghebrehiwot)I am not Sure if General secretary Isaias Afwerki at the time received the letters. But some of the group members tried  to lobby for the Derg help un till the last minute of our independence,special during the build up for Kuwait liberation and after the math they tried to lobbies Bush to send some of the forces stationed in Kuwait to Ethiopia to help the Derg  was with out any success for the die hard Derg lobists.Then came the Derg fall and Eritrea became free, most of the Group/lobbies members congratulate me for our independence,Even one person who was against Eritrean independence offer me a congraglation.But he said to me that  he promises that Eritrea and Ethiopia will go to war within the next ten years and I felt sick to my stomach and  I told him  naively you will never see that in your life time.But he was right the Woyane invasion came exactly seven years later and he prove to me I was wrong and the rest is history.To all Eritreans inside and Abroad  the fight for the defense of Eritrea from Woyane invasion became a must just like the struggle for independence in all aspect  for that matter.We started to say to the American government be neutral and fair(Ageb)by petitioning and Demonstrating to express our desmay. So our President we Eritreans in Diaspora  we always say Ageb to whom ever is against our beloved country Eritrea.I guarantee you it is all about our beloved country Eritrea period.I am caring two Bullets in my body from 1978 ELF and EPLF joint battle for the attempt to liberate the town of Barentu. It is almost 30 years a go time fly,that battle was a disaster because most of our ELF commanders deserted us in the middle of the battles to the Sabbe group and  we lost a lot of ELFand EPLF fighters and that is another topic and I leave it to the history books. About the bullets in my body the Best Swedish and American Doctors advised  me that the bullets should remain were they are because they are siting between the nerve,and any attempt to take them out will cause a nerve damage,But folks don't feel bad for me,I am not sitting in a Wheelchair or in that nature.I am running Marathons and with no pain at all. Let's go back to the discussion at hand  and subject of my writing straggle and protest(Ageb).To the whole world and all over the world.I think the most contribution I made to the Eritrea cause is when I joined the EPLF masse organization(Student and youth association)in Sweden in the 1980 ,better than the field service I made in the Eritrean field with the ELF  at the front when I  camper both in effectivenece.Eritreans in Diaspora have had stood with Eritrea in good and Bad time except for the few traitors.We collected signatures,fund for the Eritrean Relief Association,Demonstrated  against occupation and for the Border demarcation in the Frigate ice cold weather of the Scandinavian countries street and brutal  heat and cold wind  of America other place. Infact a few weeks ago we collected thousand signatures in the inferno heat of Atlanta Georgia and  we sent it to Washington DC to protest(Ageb) to the wrong doing and saying of the Bush Administration Accusation and denigrating  of Eritrea  in the 21st century.So Mr.president when you said if you  see your leader made mistake and keep quiet you are not helping him but doing deserves to him and your country. You are absolutely right on the money. But it is not one way street it is two way street,and as such I have a couple of observations  to make in my meager capacity about our country Eritrea and your present and past leadership our honorary president Isaias Afwerki of Eritrea.
 
(1) Every one knows that you and other leaders lead the struggle against Ethiopian occupation of Eritrea from the mountains of Sahl, the plane of Barka,the desert of Denkalia and  the high land of Kebesa not from the five star hotels of Mogadishu or other city.you were always with our people witnessing on first hand the barbaric atrocity of the Ethiopian arm on the Eritrean  civilian population.
My question is why can't do the same the so called Somalian leadership against Woyane occupation of Somalia?
the Somali people are suffering and dying in the hands of the brutal Woyane invader and occupyer. Mr. president you need to tell the so called Somali leaders to stop giving press conference(statement)from the hotels of Asmara every week and the same time attracting all evil eyes in the process,they need to be amongst their people if the are a leaders.i know Somalia is no Sahl,but still they can not lead their people from far away. You know better than any one ells about this matter. In the 1960s the Eritrean Struggle leaders try to lead from far Arab hotels,but did not work either.what make's  now will work for Somalis this time?
They need to know that the Eritreans fought from Sahl all the way to Addis Ababa to Liberate Eritrea from Ethiopian occupation.
They need to know that the Eritrean leadership in the straggle sacrifice and paid with their life.and they need to know about martyrs like Idris Awate,Omar Izaz,Abraham Tewolde.Abraham Tekle,Ibrahim Affa and my own brother  martyr Semere/Aron Gebreab few to mention among the many Eritrean leaders who paid with their life for the Eritrean independence at the front.I some time wonder if they are the true Somalia leaders as they claim to be,People like Hussein Aided may still be in the pay roll of the C.I.A.in any event they need to be with their people  liberate their country from Woyane occupation period.
 
(2)my second observation is about appointing people for higher duty service like ministers, Administrator,Ambassadorships,Directors and so on.I know most  of our people are very patriot,dedicate and honest,but there are few bad apple who are traitors and thief and pass through your filter with out detect them and get appointed for higher duty and responsibility......Honorey President Isaias be aware of the few bad apples who are getting through your good filter when you appoint higher duty.ezy wodhanka.
