This is a good time for hgdef rulers to save themselves and save the country from falling into the hands of foreigners, opportunists and puppets. Implement the constitution, let all oppositions come in and play multi party, let the press be free. This way when hgdef is down, it can use constitutional means to check the power of the oppositions some of whom have religious and ethnic bias and some of whom have foreign interest to work for.
If hgdef rulers really want for their hard work to pay, this is the time to free everything so that the opposition doesn't do to them what they have been doing to the opposition which is jailing, torturing and killing. They can remain relevant and even come back to power in about 10 years by defeating a fragmented opposition.
If they stick to their guns, their only ending is that of Gadafi's. Just retire Aforqi, regroup as a new party and compete as one of the many parties in a new Eritrea. Otherwise, you lose and the country loses. hgdef rulers should have one paramount objective right now and that is to stay relevant in post Isayas's Eritrea. We all have seen how countries go down after their big men go down. hgdef rulers have a closing window of opportunity and they should use it now.
