It was a war for somalis to take control of the land they inhabit in ethiopia, including isaaq lands

Isaias afewerki did well for his country in terms of keeping his country free of Neocolonialists Eritrea is not doing that bad, but they dont have many resources. Also the man was a revolutionists and his EPLF changed the future of Eritrea, clearly the man has a vision. But he has many shortcomings many of his fellow friends in the war against Ethiopia are rotting in jail, with no trial. And its highly centralized dictatorship with no freedom Eritreans cant even own a mobile phone the government has to approve it first. Now the country is isolated lets hope isaias survives and free his country from the isolation.

afwereki fell into the dictator trap.
absolute dictatorship is like herion extremly addictive.

why cant they be more like putin this is a smart dictator.
he has a fake democracy, he knows how to play the game and win.

eritrea is actually full of resources, gold, copper are starting to be mined now.
oil is there but whats stopping exploration is because he doesnt trust oil companies, he wants full control and will only deal with oil comapnies that submit to him and become his bitches.
if you read the reports from the oil majors, they are as interested in eritrea as somalia,
you could imagine them praying. " if only there was a regime change"

You are right he should have played smart right now he is seen as an enemy of the west, A man who is anti democracy anti western interests they sure want to hurt him i think the January incident might have been orchestrated by them. The problem is there is tight control there is basically no freedom there is no vice president here is no parliament. They do have gold i think that is the only resources they export now i also read some where the Eritrean ambassador to Canada was expelled because of the 2% tax. But we do have to admire the Eritrean courage to build the infrastructure on their own strength with out little help. Is the Eritrean oil inland or offshore it will be very hard for Isaias to play these billion dollar Oil companies he has no leverage unless he plays it very smart, and they concede.Putin always comes back as leader he just becomes the PM and than runs again 4 years later, He just needs to change the image mr isaias afewerki.

the man is a f-king coward he should have known seeing how his fellow country menfought freedom that they deserve a more comforting life, instead of being 2nd to north korea, walahi if you saw one their military struggle tapes you would come out thinking that our 1988 was a friendly fire skirmish compared to theirs. bal imagine the battle of masawa alone witnessed the deaths of more than 10000 derg soilders in just 2 days, afabet more than 20000 in 2 days its mind boggling indeed.

He is a troll who claims to be Isaaq

I am really confused by why Somalis are so enamored with the EPLF. Did Somalis forget what happened in the 90s with the fall of the Derg in the Somali-majority cities of eastern Ethiopia? Or who is behind the terrorist Al-Shabaab running around in your country?
