President Isaias Afwerki ends wild rumors of failing health
In yet another blow to their credibility, President Isaias Afwerki appears in the Sudan, ending a week-long rumor by the Ethiopian-backed Eritrean opposition sites that claimed the president is on life support.
The rumor, which was started by Asmarino.com, claimed the former guerrilla fighter was gravely ill and bedridden at an undisclosed hospital in the Middle East.
Long dismissed by the Eritrean diaspora as a mouthpiece of Ethiopia's administration, Asmarino.com is an opposition site that openly works with the Ethiopian regime to reverse the country's hard won independence.
Last August, the whistleblower site Wikeleaks leaked emails of US intelligence contractor describing Eritrean opposition sites as being Ethiopia TPLF friendly and Asmarino.com as being CIA backed.
#US intelligence contractor leaks suggest #Eritrea opposition sites are #CIA backed & #Ethiopia TPLF friendly. http://t.co/VYyAUeL1Ru

It is to be recalled, in 2004, Asmarino.com was caught plagiarizing a BBC South Africa rape story to deceive Western policy makers that rape of women is endemic in Eritrea and national service is a human rights abuse. Despite the story being completely fabricated, it's still cited by human rights organizations.

His poor health is apparent from the photo. If you don't see that you need an eyeglass.
ReplyDeleteThis is a stage photo...similar to North Korea tactics...All video of this event has been blacken out....on EriTv...just audio but very Black and dark video if their was no light----Their is NOT one outside source for a clear definite photo or even video..Hollywood Stuff in themaking.. 2 funny.
ReplyDeleteFirst he was dead now he is in poor health. Makes perfect sense.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand what Isaiyas is trying to prove. He is playing hide and sick like a child! He is the one that is creating the rumors. Eritrea and its people deserve a functioning government and leader. Eritreans both at home and in the diaspora are sick and tired of him and his cronies. We need change, period, now or tomorrow. Forget Ethiopia they have their problem and let them deal with it.
ReplyDeleteHitler said if a lie is repeated often enough and long enough, it would come to be perceived as truth. One such lie often repeated is the so called Eritrean opposition lies president Iseyas is this and that,why do not you go and lick your masters boot and clean their poo in Mekellino.
ReplyDeleteHey whats ur name is that you mihiret!!. I am wondering if you are at yiur stable health condition. Hell who asked you first to worry abt his health issue. Know that he is like you human being. He can be sick or he can be dead. But he is working hard restlessly. He is not playing the so called mama ketema like what you thought as a childish game.
ReplyDeleteSo do your job he is doing his job ok. Dont expose yourself that you are a vacuum. Kurie beli. Ezi wedihanki.
let issayas die like his cuz meles! and then their can be peace. we don't need their bullshit. they started it all so let it die with them. peace
ReplyDeleteI think you have mental health problem and you are whishig him dead.I think you are responding voices.
