Girma Asmerom to Become Eritrea's Ambassador to the United Nations
Eritrea’s ambassador to the African Union, Girma Asmerom Tesfay, was given a bidding farewell today by the Deputy Chairperson of African Union Commission, Erastus Mwencha.
Ambassador Girma, who has held his AU post since 2011, leaves for his new duty in New York, where he will replace Araya Desta, Eritrea's current ambassador to the United Nations.
According to sources, Ambassador Araya's next position will be Eritrea's ambassador to the AU.
Ambassador Girma is no stranger to the United States. From 2001-2006, he served as Eritrea's ambassador to the United States and Canada, before being replaced by ambassador Ghirmai Ghebremariam.
It should be recalled, Eritrea appointed 14 ambassadors in December as part of an ongoing government restructuring policy and to strengthen regional and international engagement.

A unique Eritrean profile as usual.Well educated,intelligent,etc ...and gave up everything and chose to fight in the jungles for the oppressed.
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of Christs and yet,the neo-unionists like YG and the Enda-Meharenas are trashing Ghedeli as nonsense.
May the Lord bless them.Am sure Germay Asmerom Tesfay will be or can be the next President.
Quite,humble down to Earth but genius,intelligent and has gotten every credential to be everything Lol, proud to be your brother.
Wish you all the BEST.
All the best H.E Amb.Girma

ReplyDeleteAnother brave selfless son of Eritrea. I wish him the best on his new post.
ReplyDeleteWe thank you Ambassador Araya Desta for serving us here in North America and wish you all the best! For several years, you've held one of the hardest and most stressful diplomatic jobs in the world. Thank you for all your hard work! We will never forget your services big brother!
ReplyDeleteGirma is truly one of the best Eritrean statesmen. He is intelligent, sharp and witty. The man can sell salt to a slug or raid to a bug. He is an intellectual giant.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Mr. Ambassador...we wish a good journey and all the success in your new role...of course you don't need someone to tell you to advocate to your best level to the eritrean issue and we hope to see you soon accomplishing your duties, as you've been doing...good luck again. Also i wholeheartedly thank the outgoing ambassador Mr. Araya Desta for representing your country, people and the your government efficiently. Good luck to you too in your new career. Aizona deki erei! K'wegh iyu! Meanta shet! Kab kedem ayikefananiyu. Ayzon!

ReplyDeletesubstituted by another big liar. Girma Asmerom kezinjero konjo min
yimeraritu...you get me Girma..One higdef mafia replaced by another ..what is
the result ? Is it not Girma who gave pass Port and promise to Aster Yohannes
to join her children? The rest you know what happened to that brave woman. All liars
and traitors are on the ground and the real Eritrean men and women are under
ground. And hademti of the 1970 and 80th came to Europe and USA and
produced garbage YPFDJ clapper and dancer
for the dictator who make meeting in 5 stars hotel spent million dollars in 3 days and talk about social justice higdef
style. Girma , believe me you are lucky to be assigned in NY so you can claim
asylum and remain in USA soon where the rest will be hunted and brought to
justice.

DeleteIsias did not like ambassador Germa getting to close with Ethiopian Gov officials that might be the case he got transferred from Addis to DC. Check out the pic under.It is big demotion for the ambassador who grew up in Gojam,Ethiopia with Eritrean parents (ameche). I would think Isaias is going to send Hagos Gebrehiwet as ambassador to AU as we all know he is originaly from Mekelle,Tigray,Ethiopia who grew up in Asmara. It is all good.we don't mind even if he sends Monkey.
ReplyDeletefree speech higdef style.If you want to silent people here in free world ..imagine how our people live under higdef..
