"By logic, the Nation of Eritrea should not exist. The secessionist province's independence fighters ought never to have defeated Ethiopia in their 30-year-long struggle. They were outmanned, outgunned, abandoned or betrayed by every ally; their cause was hopeless. They won by force of character, a unity and determination so steely not all the modern armaments, super power support or economic superiority of Ethiopia withstand it". TIME

I am really disappointed by huge number of comments with rare tackling the Memher's in put,,, the man is talking clearly on facts he is aware of, is it difficult to prove him wrong by presenting a different version instead of cursing and wailing...particularly when dealing with a veteran fighter and an elder...Usually those who never tackle the underlying issue head on by diverting the discussion or using offensive and abusive languages are on the weaker side of the argument...thanks
Facts about dictator Agame isaias Isayas' father, Ato Afewerq/ki is from Adi Tanqua-Milash/Tembien and they trace their roots to [deleted] Awraja of Tigray in Ethiopia. Isayas's father used to work in Mekele, the capital of Tigray Province. Isayas's father used to work at the Ministry of Land Reform until his retirement. Until he died, those who knew him in Tigray used to identify him as "the man who wears a black suit, a black "cravat"/neck tie and a black hat." Isayas's Mother Woz. Adanech Berhe is from Adwa in Tigray. This is also the birthplace of the father of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia. Isayas's uncles (via his father) are: Dejazmatch Solomon Abraha, Captain Mekonnen Abraha, Ato Hagos Abraha. Dejazmatch Solomon Abraha (Isayas's cousin) was the Enderassie/Governor of Wollo province in Ethiopia during the reign of Emperor Haileselassie. In 1964 (E.C.), ae Tigray cultural group based in Mekele visited Dessie, the Capital City of Wollo after their tour to Asmara. The Governor of Wollo at the time, Dejazmatch Solomon Abraha, (the Eritrean President's uncle), in a special dinner, organised in their honour expressed his pleasure and gratitude to the Cultural Group for their initiative of popularising the Tigrean folklore music and dances and he told them that he was a Tigrean himself. Dejazmatch Solomon Abraha revealed to them that his own mother was from [deleted] Awraja in Beganta-Afeshum Woreda (sub-district) in a village called Qil-a-at" in Tigray, Ethiopia. He also told them that his father was from Tenbien in Tigray. Navy Captain Mekonnen Abraha was "married" to the daughter of Dejazmatch Ghebray, who was a student at Empress Menen School in Addis Ababa and he is believed to have children from her. Ato Hagos Abraha was a student at Teferi Mekonnen School in Addis Ababa in the mid 1940s. He discontinued his studies due to ill health and later died when he was working at the National Bank in Addis Ababa. ...Isayas's grandmother (on his mother's side) is called Woz. Medhin "Berad" and she is from Adwa in Tigray. She is the sister of Fitawrari Kidane Mesel. It is also alleged that Fitawrari Kidane is the father of either Ato Kassahun or Ato Yemane Kidane (otherwise known as "Jamaica") of the TPLF/EPRDF ruling group of Ethiopia. If this is true, it implies that Ato "Jamaica" and Isayas Afewerki of Eritrea are in a sense brothers by our Eritrean/Ethiopian definition but a cousin in Western sense. It is also said that some of the closest people around Isayas Afewerki also have a Tigrean blood. In short, many of those who are fanatic anti-Ethiopia in Asmara are mainly Tigreans/Ethiopians by origin and those who have had strong links and connections with Tigray, in particular, and Ethiopia, in general. Isayas's aunt (the sister of Isayas's mother) is called Woz. Hana. She is the wife of Ato Belay. Both Woz. Hana and Ato Belay are from Adwa. It is alleged that their children are living in Sweden. Isayas's uncle (on his mother's side) is married to a woman from Adwa and has a daughter named Woz. Zewdi, who is now said to be living in Germany. From the above information, the only "Eritreanness" of Isayas Afewerki is that he was born in Eritrean soil and he is married to Woz. Saba Haile of Shimezana of Eritrea.
And plus he has made eritrean nationalism. When Eritrea got its independence in 1991 he deported thousands of ethiopians in the country or they would be thrown in jail if they stayed.He made a anti ethiopian culture from the beginning with full eritrean nationalism plus he started the border war with ethiopia so what does that tell you. Saying he's ethiopian dont make no damn sense.
SHEWIT1 = Selam Gerzher-Alemayo "Selam was born in Northern Ethiopia, currently known as Eritrea. At the time it was part of Ethiopia, but many people in the area wanted to be separated from Ethiopia. Eritrea got its independence,,,, But it was the beginning of ethnic hatred and deportation.,, Selam was an Ethiopian by blood, which led to a refugee camp where Selam and her family found that her father had survived and moved to America. Selam left Ethiopia to join her father in Maine".Oh really?
hey, people , what i don't understand is, specially for young ones. we should try to know the real history of our country and "kalsi" we should not be that sensitive about Isayas......... the way i see it, i liked him first then his true color came out ................. God bless Eritrea....
In an interview he conducted tonight in the port city of Massawa with the national media, kubur b'tsay tegadalay President Isaias Afwerki said that reserve of basic food crops is in place for 2014.
CIA Fact-book: "A border war with Eritrea late in the 1990s ended with a peace treaty in December 2000. In November 2007, the Eritrea-Ethiopia Border Commission(EEBC) issued specific coordinates as virtually demarcating the border and pronounced its work finished. Alleging that the EEBC acted beyond its mandate in issuing the coordinates, Ethiopia has not accepted them and has not withdrawn troops from previously contested areas pronounced by the EEBC as belonging to Eritrea".

CIA Fact-book: Profile, ETHIOPIA International Disputes: "Eritrea & Ethiopia agreed to abide by the 2002 independent boundary commission's delimitation decision, but demarcation has been delayed, despite intense international intervention, by Ethiopian insistence that the DECISION made technical errors in the delimitation, and incorrectly awarded Badme - the focus of the 1998-2000 war - and other areas to Eritrea and Eritrea's insistence on not deviating from the commission's decision".
you all are the same yesterday you was with him now today you live him b/c you scarred for what you did better for you to not speak about others just do about yours if you are hero or you want to be go back Asmara and deal with the truth
Beadin welodon hamimkum jegna aminu zeqales u wala amharay aminu ab qalsi hezbi eritrea ente teqalisu hagerawi u ala ethiopeawi yekun eska kea entay u tarika

So are u saying eritrea was an empty land before 22 yrs, and all zis started from scratch, na 99% of z progress was done by Italians and z govt is progressively destroying it,
Are you ok don't you have something to do way don't you live him alone he is your president and he is the best of the best what can I say my word for you is you are studied old man
The more i hear nonsense trash about him the more i admire him. He has had to deal all his life not only with the principal enemy in-front but also with hateful imbeciles within. These bitter losers who hates his gut just for the fact he outsmart and outmaneuver them has decided to go to their graves harboring their hatred and spew poison whenever they see the opportunity . If he is a ruthless dictator today, I believe, they made him who he is today.
i am short of words to express my disgust with this man. he has not respect for anyone at all. for him and people like him isayas is the only solution. no wonder he is a left over. history is very important but people like him if they speak without accuracy and evidence it will misguide future historians. always do the right thing even if you hate or dislike other people.
