Are You Worried Like Me?

I was watching BBC news tonight and there came the news about the abducted British in the Afar region. And a man who was presented to the reporters and diplomats at the area by the Ethiopian officials as a witness was interviewed. The young man said the abductors who were in Eritrean soldier uniforms and they released him. But guess what? The man speaks tigrigna! So how did a tigrigna speaker from Tigray become a local resident of the Afar region? And are the Eritrean soldiers stupid enough to leave the Tigrian guy for witness there even if they did the abduction? Of course it is unbelievable fabricated drama. Even though the government in Eritrea does stupid things now and then, I don’t believe they will do this kind of political gamble.
But this is part of the ongoing project to portrait the Eritrean government as terrorist government or supporting terrorist an ongoing effort prepares ground for invasion. After Ethiopia successfully destroyed the union of Islamic courts in Somalia, Meles is emboldened. And soon after Somalia he has started fabricating false accusations against Eritrea: First came the news that Eritrean Generals were arrested by Kenyan authorities while escaping from Somalia (awate.com has confirmed that the general is in Asmara- unless you believe EPM’s version of the story); and then came another fabrication ……Eritrea tried to blow up the African Union headquarter in Ethiopia. And now Eritrea abducted British tourists in the Afar region.
Well, were does this take us? Professor Tekie has put it clearly in his article “ Who is next after Somalia?”
False accusations and wild fabrications by weyane is not the first time and as such I wouldn’t worry about it. What is worrying me now is, unlike the past, that the Eritrean government has diplomatically isolated itself from the supper powers and I will not be surprised if the Ethiopians decide to gamble with another war, they will get full blessing from the superpowers and we will be left out in the cold with out any sympathy. And as these accusations come ever two weeks now, it worries me that these miscalculations may lead into unnecessary war. We have enough of it. And worse, I dread to death to imagine what will happen the future of Eritrea, if in fact this materialized.
There are some people who would accept the removal of the government in Eritrea by any means is good enough by itself. But, dear fellows, no mater how much we dislike the government, it should be only our business to remove it from office. And if any outside help is to be appreciated, the last one should be from Ethiopia!
