Elias is truly the most uninformed chatline hearder ever. This guy is not as smart as many of think. He keeps on blaming the Eritreans for the weaknessof Ethiopians. Eritreans did not have much helo when they organized themselves to be a potent force in the continent, we have to give them credit when its due. They are no more than 5 million, and when they began organizing they were merely 2.5 million people, and gave a lasting migrane to a 30 million nation at the time, and today they are the envy of a 70 million nation. There is something we lack they have in abundance, and hating them for it is wrong, they did share that something with Tigryans and built TPLF, and now they are building TPDM. Instead of getting ourselves ready and willing to accept their leadership, we keep on questioning them. One of our popular singer went to Eritrea and kissed the leaders hand, to only come back to the US to denounce the movement made in his name. He was expecting a ready made army with guns and tanks, he was so distraught with lack of enthusiasm with his countrymen he came to deny their existence. Elias blames the Eritreans? Sometimes I wonder what this Elias character stands for. Learn from the best and try to be better than the teacher, that's how karate moves are passed on, the students are deeply committed to follow instructions, even when the instruction does not seem related to Karate.

EPLF and TPLF were supported by China, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Sudan... should I continue? Ethiopian opposition group currently have no foreign supporter. As I have said so many times, I do not blame the opposition's weakness on any one but the opposition groups themselves, but support from even one foreign country would have helped a lot. One thing I'm 100% sure about is that with or without any one's support we will kick out Woyanne and take back our country.

Elias,
This is exactly what the world is waiting to hear from Ethiopians, for non-Ethiopian entities to extend their hand and help Ethiopians to remove Woyane, the world needs to see that Ethiopians are serious about the struggle, and are willing to sacrifice. There are some serious organizations like TPDM and ONLF that are serious and committed to defeating Woyane, unfortunately, these two organizations don't represent the majority of Ethiopians. Organizations that claim to represent the majority of Ethiopians need to show the same kind of commitment as TPDM and ONLF. Despite the fact that these two organizations don't represent the majority of Ethiopians, they receive support from their own people and non-Ethiopian entities. This is because their seriousness to fight, sacrifice and win is not questionable.

Elias the question you need to ask yourself is. Are your personal, and your organization's commitments to fight, sacrifice and win unquestionable ?

I don't know if the report/rumor about Eritrean president Isaias Afewerki's death is true or not, but if it is true, it could be a big blow to Ethiopians who oppose the ruling Woyanne junta in Ethiopia. This is despite the fact that the cooperation between Isaias' government and Ethiopian opposition groups that I and others advocated have not gone beyond lip-service on the part of Eritreans. In fact, in recent days the relation has soured due to the disappearance of two prominent Ethiopian opposition leaders Colonels Tadese Muluneh and Abebe Geresu in Asmara. Nevertheless, one thing I am certain about is Isayas Afwerkis' utmost disdain for the Woyanne junta, and I fear that who ever replaces him could make peace with the foreign-aid-addicted regime in Addis Ababa.

Elias why all the uncertainty now i know you have no clue how we Eritreans function or our mind-set,i don't blame you being lied & betrayed by successive Ethiopian rulers for eternity.I as Eritrean believe what our honorable minister Ali Abdu told us 100% because he is not going to lose his credibility & honor by telling lies to Eritreans that is a no no in our culture,that will be a political suicide he can't afford.

Do you really believe Ali Abdu when he said Isias was on tour at 3:00AM:)?. If this was true..he would have showed the video instead of describing play by play.

what our opposition lack is a confidence in themselves and the people they lead. The same thing with indiviual Ethiopians, such as Elias, no self confidence at all. Issaias was not interested to help Ethiopian opposition but he was trying to create an opposition party like Meles created in Ethiopia -- the likes of OPDO etc. At their core both are Issyas and Meles are the same anti-Ethiopians. Yea they hate each other because one got duped - that is Issyas. Arrogance is their sickness - unfortunately the charming snake bit Issyas . As far as Ethiopians one we need to man up and find a way to up root ourselves -- helpers come when we are strong not when we are winy .

Elias is fully cognisant of his weaknesses, he just does not like to accept them. He is just like other weak Ethiopians who do not like to take responsibility for their personal limitations, instead pass the default of their weakness on others to feel good about themseves, in courts they call this tactic self-serving. I know too many of Eliases they are all bound by one thing, self-preservation. Self-preservation is the mantra of the cowardice, they will justify running away with staying alive aother day to fight, but in reality they are not fighting while staying alive, they are avoiding fighting.

If there are ER forumers like Revolution, Yesat and many others who think Isaias is still walking and breathing, then none of us should trust any your future comments.
From all my readings, Isaias is long dead; none of you will see or hear him again alive. I better advise you do a favour to the people of Eritrea by telling the truth.
Will Meles follow him soon?

whether iseyas is alive or dead Eritrea will be alive and will exist to the end not like you stupid think that Eritrea will disapear or unite with ethiopia iseyas was just leader not ppl the eritrean ppl was who protected his country and eradicated your ansestors and throw the dergue rigim and got its freedom so don't think you can invade ereatrea cause iseyas is dead for the matter of fact he is alive and comparativly in a good health but if though it was true that your wish then there will not be any means to unite eritrea with ethiopia as they were not one since the beginning of time and will not be one to the end of time why do you ethiopians want to be dependent all the time can't you manager your own resources and live with your own resources instead of staring at neighbours.

The Ethiopian oppostion dont have no Foreign supporters? The ogadenis are helped by somalis, and other arab countrys..The gambella has support from southsudan..The rest of Ethiopian oppostion has support from Eritrea..

I said i trust him 100% confidently wich is alien in your culture & upbringing of lying,deciving,backstabbing,conniving world.What is the big deal if Issais conducting a working tour at 3:00 AM? he can't afford to run the country from the confort of his palace & attend endless gathering of G8 etc. like your weasle beggar leader depending those good hearted white folks to feed his the people.Plus he is the commander in chief of Eritrean defence forces he have to visit them at any hour of the day 24/7 the guy is restless & sleepless that is why we love & respect him.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THOSE PRO-DEMOCRACY ETHIOPIAN OPPOSITION GROUPS WHO STATIONED IN ESAYAS ERITREA --AFTER ESYAS DEPARTURE AND IF PRO-TPLF GOVERNMENT INSTALLED IN ERITREA

TO BE BRUTALLY HONEST WITH YOU ALL -AS FOR ME BOTH ESAYAS AND MELES ARE _ EVIL DICTATORS -AND I WISH NO NATURAL DEATH FOR THIS DUO CRIMINALS BUT _TO FACE JUSTICE FOR THEIR CRIME AGAINST ETHIOPIANS AND ERITREANS FOR THE LAST 4 DECADES, AS THE REBELS FOR THE FIRST 2 DECADES AND AS THE RULERS FOR THE LAST 2 DECADES
