Is the nation being built or destroyed? What the advantage of nationalism if the people of the nation are not respected by their own rulers, when they are in never ending military service with no hope for developing their themselves, families and their country?
@@haqiyseir6467 Nationhood refers to the status of belonging to a nation(-state) or to a national identity. Nationalism in turn can be defined as a set of beliefs and symbols expressing an identification with a given national community and efforts aimed at the establishment and/or maintenance of a sovereign nation-state. Based on your logic all the nations going through difficult times don’t need to celebrate their Independence Day? Actually, difficult times are better handled by nations who have strong cohesion vs those with scattered or lost nationalism. Look no further than Ethiopia. This Ethnic federalism narrowed their national coherence to ethnic level and now are at the verge of disintegration. Actually, difficult times in Eritrea had proven to improve our nationalism as Christian higher went to Sahil and united with our Muslim brothers in bringing us the Eritrea we now take for granted, moreover our national harmony has improved as we go to defend our southern boarder and all Eritreas spent another 30 years there. These as difficult as they were, will contribute positively to our unity and harmony.
I think our country went the wrong way. But you celebrate independence Day for those brothers and sisters who paid their lives for us. To remember and celebrate. The least we can do. Remember Eritrea paid a lot of price for someone to destroy it like this. SAD!!!
With all respect to her opinion,I don’t agree. Countries all over the world celebrate their Independence Day! Some of them for hundreds of years (United States). Just because we haven’t scored success as we hoped to achieve afterwards is no ground to justify what she is saying! But it is her opinion and mind you a lot of people don’t agree to her opinion!
Sabrina… Support Birgade Nihamedu so that we respect you . Shaebya are bandits and they haven’t brought us independence, they instead made us all their slaves . The Independence Day they celebrating is not the Eritrean people independence, it’s Shaebya’s independence.
Her nonchalant attitude towards the almost impossible but extremely amazing feat of Eritrean independence is disturbing to say the least. As the host repeatedly tried to remind her that her current demeanor is strange brings to question if she truly Eritrean. I mean even as a justice fighter myself, as every Eritrean at that moment in time, my feeling was that of ecstatic! Do I think this admin betrayed that objective? The answer is an absolute YES! However, that should not devalue the sacrifice paid to liberate Eritrea from the pangs of Derg. Hence, this woman's disturbing and almost demeaning attitude needs to be examined before even posting this interview. 🙄 👎
Mr. Yoel, i do enjoy all your previous programs except today's worthless and nonsense program. Well; atleast i've been honest with you . One and only really hit me when she said no need to celebrate independence day wawwwwwwww.. Our struggle is not with independence but to implement democracy justice and freedom .
