Eritrea: The March Is On
By Hillal,
The wise and farsighted Eritrean leadership have declared that 2015 will be the year for our leap forward in our national building development drive.
Outplayed, outsmarted and outmaneuvered , "The axis of evil", are left with no other option but to use the defunct UNSC to impose the illegal, unjust and immoral sanction resolutions based on fabricated and bogus charges based on lies and deceit to derail our development drive.
Eritrea is undergoing a Renaissance of its own. Political, economic, social, cultural and security transformations are sweeping the Eritrean landscape from coast to coast and from sea to shining sea.
The improvement in the quality of life registered in all Eritrean communities without exception is the pride and glory of the Eritrean nation. Building the Eritrea of our dreams and worthy of our martyrs sacrifices and in Shaebia's image is a work in progress and never ending noble task.
Democracy is a process and not an end in itself. For democracy to flourish certain prerequisites have to be meet and be in place. One of the most primary essentials is the creation of a large vibrant middle class. The W/Y Marshal Plan is designed to solve this and other bottlenecks.
First, a competent and high caliber leadership that is capable of leading and has the ability of listening to the heart beats of the Eritrean masses is a must. The Eritrean leadership possesses these qualities and more.
The leadership is the historical product of the protracted armed struggle. It lives with and among the masses - the masses have a clear understanding of who is who in the leadership and his/her dedication, potential, experience, integrity and sacrifice to the national cause.
Without a progressive leadership, vibrant middle class, a reasonable degree of economic development and a tolerant culture, a revolution is certain to fail. The so called Arab Spring, Flower, Colour, Facebook and Twitter are perfect examples of the failed pseudo-revolutions.
The bold Eritrean nation building experiment gives priority to the disadvantaged areas and communities first - a symmetrical development drive leaving no one behind. With self-reliance as its guiding principle, mutual partnership as its preferred economic practice, the economy is self sustaining and sufficient and doesn't rely totally on aids and handouts.
Construction of giant white elephant projects and prestige buildings and structures are not part of the peoples first based national development drive.
This is in direct contrast to Ethiopia's addiction to economic aids, loans and grants of which 87% of the national budget is foreign aid subsidized and where white elephant projects and prestige structures and buildings are considered as a measure of national development success. When Ethnic Apartheid and Article 39 are brought into the mix , the sustainability of the Ethiopian political nation becomes doubtful and even impossible.
After two decades of nation building experiments in the HOA region, we have a united, progressive, vibrant, assertive, self reliant nation of Eritrea and an Ethiopia which is Balkanized into Ethnic Enclaves and Bantu Lands and a people divided and living in fear, uncertainty, doubt and hopelessness.
Now, we find ourselves on the eve of the economic boom in Eritrea and the end of the reign of terror in Ethiopia. Aside from the economic boom in Eritrea, the restructuring, reorganizing and rectifying processes are ongoing processes in all sectors of the development drive and institutions -be it political, administrative, economic, social, cultural, security..etc...etc.
Whether we like it or not change is coming. The Eritrean revolutionary train is always moving. Those with wisdom, experience, courage, gusto and guts are jumping or are already on the band wagon and are on the drivers seat having the time of their lives and making history on a daily basis. Without to much hoopla and fanfare changes are being implemented keeping the best interest, safety and security of the Eritrean nation and people at heart.
What will happen in Ethiopia is anybody's guess. Ethnic politics which was designed to keep the Tribal Junta in power is institutionalized and is part of the Ethiopian state craft. Correcting the past mistakes and reconciling the population after the heinous crimes committed by the Genocidal regime seems easier said than done.

you think there is wise leadership in Eritrea?
ReplyDeleteI like the article Hillal, but i have a point to add, for my point I wouldn't compare as Eritrean to our neighbours ehtiopia, in a sense that i don't think they are our level, it deprive us a value. So i would see farther a comparison factor
ReplyDeletebuahahahahahha very funny. Compare Eritrea to the US then.
ReplyDeleteus exist since Cristoforo Colombo's era 1942, just 460 years, like australians or canadians they are of the same class. You better say indians, Assyrian and Babylonian, Egyptians ect..you know what i mean?
ReplyDeleteYou are unrealistic. We can't even get one I mean one single airline going and Ethiopia just became Africa's largest, baddest and most profitable airline. That is just one category and one industry.
ReplyDeleteHGDEF continues to feed you lies and Jeharaas. I bet you agame like your president and you don't want the people of Eritrea prosper.
HGDEF said akayidana akayida Gobie eyou. If we are going to move like a turtle we sure are in pace to get there in 500 years.
ReplyDeleteLike your president you might think I am from the moon .
Dud :
ReplyDeleteI wish our dictator would make peace with our neighbors. If we had peace with Ethiopia we wouldn't be struggling with airlines. Can you imagine flying from DC to Addis to Asmara. Our people would benefit
So much but unfortunately we have a government that doesn't work on behalf of the people.
I don 't understand it. As a result of booming ecomony has the price of good gone down? Can you give us a list? Has unemployemrnt in the country gone done? Can you give us statistics?
ReplyDeleteA country without a budget and accountability for you to write such garbage article is down low.
If the economy was booming the price of water, barrel, wouldn't be $35 Nakfa...that is one example.
ehtiopia is also the 3rd coffee producer in the world, the richest man in africa is ethiopian, yet the country is N°1 Aid recipient in Africa..Saying this i don't want to complain about hunger in ethiopia, (god save ethiopia and ethiopians) nobody want their bad fate. I feel sorry for it, is just to say the ruling narrow minded elite over there must think in general to All ethiopians and not companies or individuals, after all foreign companies.
ReplyDeleteYou are right when you talk about the barrel be $35, thas' s what the west teach's economy standard, but what about when you compare education, health, food are guaranteed like in Eritrea? not to mention the MDG 2015 that 8/7 achieved? How this economically is counted, does the un Aid gifted Eritrea? or some donor? I'm sure No.
ReplyDeleteEthiopia is a welfare case. It lives off foreign aid. if the foreign aid spigot were to be turned off tomorrow, Ethiopia as a country could not exist.
ReplyDeleteAnother weyane begger. Look at the ethipian exduse in yemen This the face of ethiopia
ReplyDeleteTurtle's steps is sure and steady unlike you maddogs who run around your tail for years with no any outcome.
ReplyDeleteYes, Ethiopia is more a developed nation than Eritrea. Now in Addis, you have striper club...
ReplyDeleteif Eritrean econ going well it is good. But I did think so, imagine Eritrean GDP is less than Ethiopian airline revenue.
ReplyDeletewhat you wish and what is going on is different. wake up from your dream and face the real world. nothing you can change by day dream
I completely understand your point. The Ethiopians can't undue 300yrs of poverty and mismanagement in 25yrs. On thing is for sure, since weyane took over the country, Ethiopia has made many huge strides. In my opinion the country is on the right direction. It's amazing the number of Ethiopians that are going back to Ethiopia (from the west) to open business and what have you.
ReplyDeleteFor the last 20yrs or so who has done a better job of developing as their country, Shabia or weyane?
1. Would you go back to Eritrea and open business?
2. Speaking of our economy, you and I as Eritrean citizen we don't even know our GDP or
Wawwww ethiopan people has Been back wawwww. Have you ever see the people immigrat from ethiopia. On your eyes Oromo and Amhara are not ethiopians
ReplyDeleteagame, are you talking about the ethiopian economy based on western handouts, and a fund from us by being a servant in the region to creat problems in Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan and so on. Go head agame it will drain sometime, history will prove it, it has happened in many countries. use and throw
ReplyDeleteI love my nickname. It is just perfect !!! That is what I just did.
ReplyDeleteNever to mention the gay parad "Homocracy" at its best
ReplyDeleteI wonder why AN ERITREAN need to compare himself with the WORST ENEMY EVER at all ?
ReplyDeleteWe have seen many countries who have had a fight for decades but never sell themselves cheap for a third party inorder to win the war. Ethiopia has done the choice. On this case Ethiopia has given up the power to third party and is formed to fit a third party interest. So when we say Ethiopia we are not talking about our poor aid dependant unalphabetic neighbors who live on the rural areas. They are not the ones who decide nomore. There is foreign power who dance over these sick, deprived and forgotten communities. They are not seen as humans nomore. Woyane's muscles are pumped to press, demolish these creatures out of earth. When you discuss of Ethiopia discuss about the owners like Sheikh Amoudi, the Indian and Chinese owners and thier shareholders woyane gangs. Ethiopians has given up long ago. No more pride of WE is left. You see poor women leave behind them fatherless chinese, indian, somali, sudanese, yemeni mixed child every minute on the street. The municipality has got billions of dollars selling the product. So what we have in our neighborhood is no more Ethiopia but a salad boul of the whole world, a sample of ugly population with no rights. Woyane crimes have no end.
Correction** developing nation. Big difference. Eritrea will do in 10 years what Ethiopia has in the last 23yrs combined. We don't have soo many mouses to feed. Don't judge the developments by the number of GDP. Once our president opens the new chapter to Eritrea, your going to see Exxon or Shell back in Massawa sea and finishing the oil and gas exploration (that's proven to be there). Everything one step at a time. Our president understood the natural resource curse had done to many African countries. Eritrea will be the next Qatar of Africa. Young, rich and resourceful. Just wait... it's all under work. And we only have to watch over 6 million not 92.5 million mouses (expected to grow to 200 million by 2040).
ReplyDeleteIt's two difference economies - one is handouts and the other one is self-built economy. Plus Eritrea's 80% of resources has not been explored such as oil and gas off the coast of red sea (which our neihbors saudi, sudan has abundant of). We're building a nation we could be proud of and what happens in the outside world wouldn't affect our outcomes. For Ethiopia, if all U.S. and EU donations had to stop, and you'll would have 70% of the population is a panic mode. Yes, Ethiopia is developing and i'm not hating, but it does not provide a fair share for the majority in terms of basic needs. Just wait till 2015 Ethiopian elections. There's already massive protest being built up and could turn violent because most are students like in Egypt Arab springs and they would it use that as a model.. But don't compare with Eritrea. Two fundamentally different countries.
ReplyDeleteWedi Agame (good you kno your self) wedi Teftafit (if I may add)
ReplyDeletePlease have a read and tell me specially the last part;here it is actually
" The poorest country in the world is Niger, next Niger is Ethiopia"
Somalia, the most chaotic country, is even much better than Ethiopia
87.3% of Ethiopians are classified as MPI poor, while 58.1% are
considered destitute. A person is identified as multidimensionally poor
(or ‘MPI poor’) if they are deprived in at least one third of the
weighted MPI indicators. The destitute are deprived in at least onethird
of the same weighted indicators, The Global MPI uses 10
indicators to measure poverty in three dimensions: education, health
and living standards.
In rural Ethiopia 96.3% are poor while in the urban area the
percentage of poverty is 46.4%. Comparing the poverty rate by
regions, Somali region has the highest poverty rate at 93% followed
by Oromiya (91.2%) and Afar (90.9%). Amhara region has 90.1%
poverty rate while Tigray has 85.4%.

dingus wake up ane tell me who has big revenue Tigray or Somalia????
Why are Ethiopians leaving the country in masses?
ReplyDeleteWhy dont they call themselves Ethiopians abroad ?
Why are Ethiopians calling themselves ERITREANS with pride ?
Why dont Ethiopians enjoy their life inside the country if you believe Ethiopia more developing under woyane administration?
Cane, he said 35 nakfa a barrel, you and i know how much a bottle of water costs elsewhere, another bad example from a weak person, don't bother brother.
ReplyDeletewow Ali abdu please hide your ignorance, please DO NOT EMBARASS YOUR PARENTS!!!!
ReplyDeleteSeb
ReplyDeleteYa our people would benefit when you educate yourself about your country stand, that is if you are real Eritrean, not fake paper Eritrean!!!
If you are fake Eritrean, don't be shy coem clean blood is thicker than water!!!!
wow bingo, what a dimmer switch!
ReplyDeleteWell let me add to the comments,
ReplyDeleteEritreans were one of the most hard working and innovative people in Africa. To prove this we just need to look at our fathers and grand fathers. This spirit have been broken by HiGDEF purposely to destroy our pride. Look at us today , we hitting the road to all directions. Do you know how many people tried to open business such as small to mid size manufacturing plants ? Where are all these people today? Their spirit was intentionally broken by the incompetent HIGDEF administration. Do any of you dare today to go back and start a business there???? I am sure none of you dare to go back because we know what is going on there.
Entay, i answer to your questions.
ReplyDelete1) I'm already in Eritrea and i, as all Eritreans have a business, (i think you made a confusion about business, don't categorize business as solely a single person or single family owned like some wealth individuals, There are also a Mass owned businesses, to mention some example Bologna in Italy is one, Eritrea's economy is also prone to that type of economy, the Scandinavian is also similar to that). This to say in the above mentioned type of Country, you have a fair distributed health, school, food ect..primary needs guaranteed for all not in ethiopia unfortunately.
2) To know or not GDP doesn't matter when the above mentioned NEEDS not met. It remains simple number.
I very soroy some eritreanes when the are speak abuot another countrey first every eritrean must now we are in a bad situwation with this brutal regime .economy zero the eritrean poeple in bad condition. we have about 90.000 eritrean the are refuge in ethiopia. and about 500.000 in sudan in yemen in every and every corner of the World. and every eritrean now such thing.we love our land but we must speak wat there is our countrey.
ReplyDeleteWhere is your brother?
ReplyDeleteThis question is to HGDEF
PFDJ are you Eritreans?
If you are why you are making Eritrea and Eritreans what you are
doing?
PFDJ DIA is beginning to Change the Generation of Eritrea
by mixing with DEMHIT after 2 years there will no Eritrean to have a
place in Eritrea.
I agree on that brother!
ReplyDeleteMany people wants to go back home and visit their family but unfortunately due to the incompetent leadership there, people have efficient and reliable air service that takes them back home. All these crap airways Olympic, Nova or NAS are worthless. We would benefit if Lufthansa, Ethiopian, AlItalian had service to Eritrea.
Self -built economy??????? ahahahhahahhah what kind of economy you built? are you mean you built a country its people wishing to leave where ever they get the opportunity to leave their country? did you read what the Eritrean Catholic bishop wright "mear ab gezaka gedifikas mear endamatika ayitenadin"
ReplyDeleteyou may not know budget since there is no budget in Eritrea, in Ethiopia the gov budget for 2007 E.c is 179b birr out of this only 23b birr is caver from lent and denotation.
for what you say about 2015 election I also expect same demonstration since we are beginner for democracy but it can not happen violence because most Ethiopian people feel now we are in the right direction for developing.
let me guess your business in Eritrea since you are not mention it, I guess your business is smuggling people from Eritrea to Ethiopia and Sudan. Am I right?
ReplyDeleteNot really as i told you, I don't believe ethiopia can host eritreans for good, when everyone knows that 100.000 ethiopians been expelled from saudi A. Am I right? you remember?
ReplyDeleteDon't think that behind this pen there is someone like you or equal to you simply cause Madote Eritrea gives you chance for free to right in this Eritrean place..You should feel to be lucky to join, don't you think so? Imagine if this site was ran by me, i could make a Log in for sellected users who only pay cash.
Eritrean fathers,mothers,brothers and sisters,now as i have seen,born and raised in ethiopia ,i can not comare eritrea with ethiopia.
ReplyDeleteEthuiopia is just becoming not only the hub of the african invesment but also the center of dynamism of economic development for africa.
let us forget addis,now how we can comare the old i asmara with mekele,bahirdaR,AWASSA,DIREDAWA.....ETC
HOW CAN WE CAMPARE THE OLD DEKEMEHARI,MENDEFERA WITH ADIGRAT,
THE NORTHRN PICK TOWN OF ETHIOPIA.
If that is what you think, then ask for an Ethiopian citizenship! Mengedun cherk yadirgilih!!!
ReplyDeleteLike you, I was born and raised in Addis Ababa. While I have no ill towards the country and its people, I prefer Eritrea SHIKOR--my parents', my grand parents' my great, great grand parents' . . . land/country.
A good agame is a dead agame.
ReplyDeleteYour wishful though reminds me of beggar drinking butter in his dream.
ReplyDeleteDo u really know z diffrence b/n GDP and total revenue?
ReplyDeleteIf the airline is earning more than the self supporting proud country(Eritrea), then why u ask ur own agame leaders of z airline to finance the country's budget and make ethiopia a vibrant non- donation seeker country!
I can't believe what some eritrian are writing here!!! They are in total denial. I feel bad for them really I don't know when they will ever face the reality and try to solve their real problem than crying and blaming Ethiopia I particular tigray as the cause. For a person with a good mind he should have the capacity to sit down and see point by point his problems and try to find solutions to it. Cuz dear Eritreans am sorry to say but your problem is back home you need to get your shit together. You are sinking and ethiopia is not your problem. Please wake up don't let jealousy cripple you. In stead of envying and wishing death on your neighbors get up and fight for your rights that is the starting point. I never ever in my life imagined eritrean to be this delusional. It's so sad..... I pity you from my deepest heart cuz I feel you will never get out of your mess for another century. Man up and get your fucking leader out. Try to live in peace with your neighbors cuz you should be smart for yourself you are nothing without your neighbors 20 yrs and you still can't get it. Please stop wasting your time writing articles and posts about tigray or ethiopia don't waste your time on symptoms than your core problem. Ahiyawin

ReplyDeleteTo add on what I have said above. It's a fact that colonized societies always get into crises it could be either self hate like how we see Asians trying so hard to lighten their skin, you also see some colonized societies loosing their self confidence and live thinking that white is better than them at the same time they look down on their fellow African brother thinking their are special and might even think they are different and the sad part is this gets transfered to generations that come next. What is special and what has one got to be proud of being fucked in the brain by a slave maker honestly. One can only be proud to keep his own history and his own identity. That is why Eritreans will always blame ethiopia and they can never free themselves of oppression cuz they have been weakened by colonization slaver. It kills the spirt it's like being raped. Am sorry Eriteans your suffering will go on and on you have not learned yet that you are still ethiopian and still African. No you are not Frenej and no you are not special, you are not more attractive or intelligent no you are the same and almost indifferentialable from any regular ethiopian yes 20 yrs has past you where your whole nation is going back in time and no ethiopia or tigray is not the cause but your raped colonized slave mentality that won't be easy to clean and I think totally hopeless. No you are not heros you are not freedom fighter you are feri a bad one for that matter that is why you die and sink in ships trying to run from one man. And yes he is a hero cuz he caught you all by the balls cuz he is tigrean sorry dudes you need plan B
