When was the EPLF "a beacon of hope with a clear commitment to human rights and democracy"? Eritrea is today run by the same opportunistic thugs that were fighting the war against Ethiopia. To be sure, the Ethiopian regime, then and now, was no better. But to feign suprise at the nature of the Eritrean government today is absolutely ridiculous. Moreover, its indicative of the sad consequences of the West's meddling in the affairs of other countries. A few Eritrean elites manipulated Westerners into sanctioning their "independence" and now the ones suffering are the people on both sides of a fake border.

Glenys,

It is good that you are speaking out for Aster. However, are you not aware that the Human Rights of every Eritrean is violated by the EU who failed to shoulder its responsibility in implementing the algiers agreement as a gurantor.

Glenys, why didn't you use your position and influence to speak out for justice and the rights of the Eritrean people to live in peace.

You let the Eritrean people down so badlly and cruelly.

Mrs Kinnock,

What good is it that you are speaking out for the right of one person when the entire population is being subjected to injustice and unfair treatment by the EU, UN and others?

Why don't you let the people of Eritrea see your principles and values by calling for a just settlement of the border conflict in accordance with the agreement that both countries had signed to.

Please do not be selective in the way you apply your values.

When Aster was in Arizona for education, her husband was injail. Her kids were left without a dad and mom. She was scared to retun to Eritrea but also scared at the same time. The eritrean government guarateed for her safety. The eritrean ambasador to the US personally assured her. Up on her return, She was arrested at the Asmara internation airport. I can imagine, her kids were waiting at the airport. They have no reason to arrest her. But it is sad what happened to her, kids, and all of us.

Isayas Afewerki should be pressured to release her immediately. As Eritrean, i never dreamed that my country to fall in dictatorail regime. We got our independence from ethiopia but we lost our freedom. I saw so many human right violation in eritrea. Most eritrean pastors are in jail too!...asfar as isayas is in power, nothing is going to change. lets hope and pray that he will the office leave soon!

Solomon,

That is bad argument. The UN didn't enforce the border issue. But this has to do nothing with Aster. there is no correlation. Arresting her without charges is wrong.

Mrs Glenys Kinnock,

Just imagine Russia invade and occupy part of the UK. What should be the MORE URGENT ISSUE, the couple of peoples "human rights" or the THE THREATENED SOVEREIGNTY OF YOUR COUNTRY?

The region's instability is caused by:

1. Ethiopia aggressively occupying Eritrean territory; Not abiding by the FINAL AND BINDING PEACE AGREEMENT SIGNED BY BOTH NATIONS.

2. Ethiopian Government's invasion/occupation of Somalia and the indiscriminate killing of civilians.

3. Ethiopian Government killing hundreds of it's own citizens during ELECTION FRAUD PROTESTS.

4. Ethiopian Government's suppression of the Oromo and Ethnic Somali, whom make about 40% of the population.

3. Ethiopian support of Terrorist groups such as the EIJ (Eritrean Islamic Jihad) whom plan on turning Eritrea into an Islamic state.

I dont know why some are trying to defend the eritrean govenment gross human right violation. The writer is only defending Aster. The border issue, the UN, the ethio governemnt has to do nothing with human right violation. Glenys Kinnock, thankyou very much for defending the eritrean victims. There are many unheard human right violations in eritrea!! please continue to write and increase the awareness of the international community till all the inocent eritreans are released!! thanks again...onbehalf of the the victims....

The helpless who are suffering under the current regime need someone like you to speak up on their behalf. I commend your action and I hope many more will add their voices of rebuke to the government of Eritrea. Who thought Isaias, the president, was going to turn into such a mean spirited and narrow minded leader. Aster's imprisonemnt is on the minds of many. Well done!

What have we Eritreans become? People that fought for their just independence have totally failed to secure freedom. Don't we all deserve a government and a leadership that is committed to the freedom of its citizens?

I am absolutely appalled at the pathetic replies from apologists for the tyrannical regime in Eritrea. If they truly want justice for their country from the international arena, they should be doing their utmost to ensure that the Eritrean regime honours those basic human rights that its own constitution demands. If the regime were to free Ms Fissehatsion and her fellow detainees, they are far more likely to have their own grievances addressed in the international community.

Imagine whoever you are male or female: your other half is looking after your children while you are abroad for a temporary training session. One day the phone rings or recieved an email saying that your other half is in prison, I would guess that the first thought goes in your mind would be (unless you are a morron! ) "what would happen to the children" , then obviously you will try to contact the embassy of your country (if you happen to have a country!!) who might suggest to you that you might opt one of two options: Request the embassy of your country for your children to join you so that you look after them (assuming country with established human right, institutions..etc) or you have to go back home to look after them. To cut the story short you opt to accept the option of going back after you recieved an assurance from the government that nothing is going to happen to you. The next logical and emotional step is to inform your children that they dont havt to worry and I that you are in your way and that you are going to bring them nice gifts and once you make the booking and sure about the arrival time you ask them to wait for you at the airport (we are talking about innocent children and with innocent smiles for those of us who appreciate that!!) the flight arrives, passengers start leaving the air port one after the other and no sign for mother or father. The children would start to wonder about the going while secretely someone from the secret security snatch the father or the mother away through the back doors. Imagine the tears dropping from these innocent childern, even heartless amature thug will start to shacke. However samll this is what Glenys is talking about or this is what she can do and she should be thanked for that. I am sure if someone put the story together will make an award winning film..any interested invester on humanright to publish this film contact Glenys!!!

Primerily issue of Eritreans is not as you mentioned for individuals,offcourse human-write issue is basically to be respect and I agree with you. When people like had been hiding your voices and encouraging the repressive regim in Ethiopia,and now advocating about individuals is really parody. Stop your dubble-standared and push your servant regim in Adiss Abeba and push to complay with the allredy Demarcated border issue vertually. Then it is our utmost task to be engaged in our internal affairs.

Selam All,

I command Ms. Kinnock for writing this article and speak on behalf of Aster.

Just a correction, Aster Fissehatsion which this article is all about is not the same as Aster Yohannes (wife of Petros Solomon) which most people are reffering.

Aster Fissehatsion is one of those G-15 who signed the open letter and she is jailed along with the other G-15 members in the country. She was ex-wife of Mahmood Sherifo who was also jailed with the G-15. They had one children (Ibrahim) and both his parents (Aster and Mahmood) are in prison.

Aster Yohannes (wife of Petros Solomon) have four children and she is arrested after she returned to Eritrea after completing her school. Her mother and her four children were waiting for her in the airport and the security forces detained her and no body knows where she is.

Such is the cruel system that the Eritrean people have in Eritrea. These women are "no threat" to the government and they have nothing to do with the boarder, the UN, Eritrean internal problems.

It is a shame that we Eritreans after paying so much that we deserve these. These women, not only are mothers, they too were freedom fighters who spend their life to struggle for freedom and justice in Eritrea. They don't deserve this from a system that they spend their lifetime.

It is a shame to be Eritrean and I can't believe there are some my country men who can't see the wrong in this. What is all these "deqi swaet", "tegadelit" non-sense then, if we can't feel the pain of those children who are denied both parents for speaking their minds.

Ms. Kinnock,

Thank you for the candid and good wish thinking for Eritreans. In the mean time please ignore those who are writing nonsense arguments. As the internet is becoming an ocean where the sources of ideas are hard to track, those opposing using different names could be one person (Probably The Dictator himself or is fool info minister, Ali Abdou or the arogant Yemane Gebremeskel). We (most freedom loving Eritreans) stand by you as you stood for our cause.

Sincerely,

I commend the writer for her concern in human rights. We all should be concerned about human rights all over the world. But what is sad is that the west is mainly concerned about the few people arrested that served its interest. Your cry is not for human rights rather it is the affected west's interest. In Eritrea anyone whether one has children or was a former freedom fighter will be arrested for breach of security or law. There is very hard evidence that most of those arrested have commited treason to some degree. Some are just accomplice. We always talk about democracy. Are we talking about the democracy the west introduced in Iraq or the one in Kenya ( where people kill with arrows and machetes ) because it is a democratic country. Thanks for all your human rights concern but focus for all the atrocities the UK/USA commits in differet parts of the world that really need dire attention. We Eritreans will solve our issue amongst us.

all the best

I dont understand those of you writing comments about Ethiopia and Somalia. the writer is talking about the human right violation in Eritrea and the victims. As we all know the government of Eritrea arrested thousands citizen for opposing the dictatorial regime of Isaias Afewerki. We need change and it isnot our business to formulate a foreign policy for the neighboring countries.

04 March 2008 at 05:44

Ignoring the egregious few, I could have easily "cut and pasted" any number of comments made here in response to the article, and most of them would succinctly impart my sentiment. Eritreans find themselves in a dire situation. They are unwilling to demand change because they mistakenly believe thier is a family quarrell and will be resolved accordingly. Moreover, the government has successfuly diverted their attention away from the daily grind and abuse by creating an external menace....Ethiopia. Thus, middle aged and elderly Eritreans are hardly the segment one would expect to vigorously agitate for change and bring public discontent to the fore. A possessed dictator who spends every waking hour weaving intrigues has held over three hundred thousand young Eritreans hostage by sentencing them to live in foxholes waiting for an imaginary enemy coming from across the Ethiopian border. For the last ten years (since 1998) most of the conscripted youngsters have made the trenches their abode deprived of education and family life as we know it. After shutting down the only university in the capital, Asmara, even younger students have been herded to hastily constructed and poorly staffed colleges as far away from major urban areas as possible. Ostensibly, this course of action was taken in order to creat a student imbued with self confidence, smarts, discipline and the like. However, every week over three hundred youngsters are fleeing to Ethiopia abandoning the trenches and colleges. What could parents do. They are in a bind. Many others are scared stiff. What I wrote above does not even start to describe the agony, frustration and helplessness the Eritrean people are experiencing. It goes to show how consoling it is to my people when individuals like the author of the article expose not only the ineptness but also the utter brutality of the regime in Eritrea. Only the irrational and those easily duped could mix a border issue with the living hell Eritreans find themselves in. Don't delude yourselves.

04 March 2008 at 08:56

To Belai,

It is you who should not delude thyself! At one point I use to be like, a confused person. But facts on the ground changed my attitude. The information you provided is misleading and filled with falacy to say the least. You can not be sitting thousand of miles away creating your own false and misleading theories. Please visit there and talk to the people. What I found there is completely contrary to your presentation. It is true there are thousands of troops at the border, and that is due to the unfortunate circumstances. But make no mistake we know who our enemy is. The youth are out there building the country, they barely see the foxhole you claim. I have been there, I have seen it. Eritrea is building a high standard universities (academically). The Asmara university you talk about is equivalent to a small community college in America that can not satisfy the nations need. So please visit Eritrea and see for yourself, so you can write facts and not just theories. BTW I am a youth and my attention is not diverted.

How sad that people are still willing to fall for the lame excuse of that pitiful village of Badme to accept and justify the constant and horrific violations of human rights which are occurring in Eritrea. Yes, comments about the pathetic inability of the international community to solve the border issue are correct. But the border issues also serves Isaias perfectly as an excuse to brutally stifle even the slightest hint of dissent in this country, so as to remain in power. Imprisonment without trial and torture are the absolute norm here nowadays, and there can be no excuse for that.

To Mike

I have been to Eritrea recently and I didn’t see none of the facts you are claiming to have seen. With the foreign currency that you take there for your vacation, you can no doubt have a good time in Asmara but that has nothing to tell about the real life of the common people living there. You can have talked to certain people, but you can’t expect them to tell you the truth specially if they don’t trust you. You must either be very naïve or you have only talked to the high-ranking officials who are leading a high life in the houses they confiscated for funny prices.

The youth who are building the roads and houses are doing it by force and not by their own free will. While you are sitting here and enjoying this wonderful story, the guys are fleeing the country every day and night. They are escaping imprisonments , forced labour and the lack of basic human rights. Before stamping this information as misleading, try to get informed how many of them are flowing to the camp around Shire. I’ll leave it to you to believe it or not but 50-60 a day is the recent information I have from one of them. And if the feelings of parents mean anything to you, as many parents are worrying about the lives of these kids. These are the facts on the ground. You can stay with your attitude, but you will one day come to your senses and think if Badme is worth all these losses… but then everything will be too late to repair.

04 March 2008 at 18:09

Hello Glenys,

As an Eritrean, I commend you for airing out the gross human rights violation that is being inflicted upon the Eritrean populace in general and on the former senior government leaders in particular.

Please continue to support the same causes that you supported in the 80s, which were the freedom, liberty and justice for the Eritrean people. Please do not, too, get discouraged by the many apologists of the present regime and/or by the sour losers of the Ethiopian hegemony. They will do their best to confuse the noble cause you have raised by mixing apples and oranges like the border and questioning the very independence of Eritrea from Ethiopian rule. Just because one man went astray and hijacked the Eritrean people's aspirations, it does not mean your support of Eritrean independence in the 80s is lost in vain.

05 March 2008 at 10:22

To Senitu and Lula,

I have been to Eritrea several times. I do not know any single government official. I do not support or condone the regime. I have several family members and relatives who are proudly serving in the military. I use my foreign currency to help the martyr's fund and other societal moral obligations. And not get wasted in the streets of Asmara or Massawa bay. I talk to many people with different backgrounds that give me different opinions. Contrary to what people told me in the west, I could barely find one who is Iscared to speak up, with the exception of few. I spent most of my time with the common people sharing their life and struggles. I do not just waste my time writing opinions on the internet, but I also contribute to the Eritrean society with what ever I can. Again, your claims and statistics are misleading. Emotional sentiments will get us no where, but facts will. Your concerns are well taken but misplaced. Sure, Eritrea is a poor country as any African nation that is striving to excell. I do not expect western life standards in Eritrea. And you have to go there with that mind set. You are the ones who should not be blinded by the hatred of one man (Afewerki). Please do not preach to the choir about democracy, human rights and bla bla bla. And if there are who defect the military, we should not be suprised at all. World history has taught us that people tend to gravitate to the greener area. Let alone the few Eritrea defectors, we see thousands of Ethiopians (reproted daily) and west Africans trailing the dangerous journey to Europe and Middle East for better life. So, please do not present it as something unique to Eritreans. Asians, Central and South Americas, Africas, Arabs are emigrating en masses to the greener pasteur. So, please, I mean please do not be suprised about Eritreans crossing borders. Emigrating to other countries would have happened whether we have border issue or not. But I have one question to all those supposedly concerned Eritreans. Your hatred to president Isaiah Afwerki is acceptable, it is a personal choice, but how are you contributing to Eritrea and the Eritrean society? Please do not say you are fighting for their rights by chatting on my space or demonizing the president. I am talking about tangible things such as sending books, contibuting to martyr's fund, donating medical equipments and stuff like that. Please ask your self. You can sit here and type your hatred all day but that won't change a thing on the ordinary people's life standard. It is that small things that make all the difference. The Israelies have done it why not us. Regardless, I love u all real Eritreans on this web who are concerned about their people.

05 March 2008 at 13:03

Not only am I fascinated by Mike's lopsided argument, but I am also amused as well. He is writing about an Eritrea I do not know. Like him I visited Asmara and its suburbs on a number of occasions. I honestly do not believe that he visited Eritrea as his stories are depictions of sorts. As if I do not know my own country, he has written passages of pure conjectures, spuriousness and self-delusion.

Hasn't the president forcefully collectivised labour force to effectively reduce young Eritreans to the status of serfs?

Hasn't the president blocked Eritrea from pursuing a democratic path?

Hasn't the president virtually steered Eritrea to be isolated?

Hasn't the president literally sidelined the ex-fighter community by amassing absolute control of the country?

Hasn't the president, let alone allow the diaspora to take part in governance, systematically barred them from resettling back in Eritrea?

You see, a person who blindly argues in defence or justification of something, such as a doctrine, policy, or institution is called an apologist. And what do I call someone who advocates for unlawful imprisonment, forced labor of its youngsters, punishment of Eritrean citizens who demand that their rights be respected, closure of free press, indefinite shelving of the Eritrean Constitution? I guess I am allowed to call him Mike!

Mike,

The migration of the Israelis was before their country came to exist … not thereafter.

How dare you tend to compare this with the current situation in Eritrea ? Wasn’t independence meant to bring us back to our country ?

You claim on one side not to support or condone the regime and on the other side you come up with the same lame and tiring justification of permanently comparing incomparable issues to make your point. You even go further to tell us that justice should be a luxury that’s reserved only to the west. Why shouldn’t justice exist in Eritrea. Why can’t this regime bring Aster, the G-15, the journalists and all other political prisoners to court and sentence them according to their PROVED sins ? May be you should once more have a look at the title of this article…“It could have been me” which is a reason enough for every Eritrean to speak for any victim of such an injustice. At this point, it’s the silence and the indifference that should normally be criticised. There is an improvement in the infrastructure as some roads are being built and electricity is being introduced in some rural areas but all this cannot substitute injustice.

You can be proud of the contributions and the good deeds you might currently be rendering. It’s no doubt a good deed. We all do our best in these matters but this should neither spoil us to the extent of downplaying what Aster Fissehatsion, the G-15 and many others have done for the independence of this country nor does it privilege us to deprive other Eritreans of their opinion concerning any issue about their country. For your information, despite my dissatisfactions on the lack of justice, and the concerns I have on the youth fleeing the country, I also fulfil my contributions, probably no less than you do. but this doesn’t make me feel any better Eritrean than the others.

Dear eritrean friends and mostly the admirers of this writer if this kind of people are realy interested only on the truth what is the point to to speak of individuals while the for years and years we all were subject of death and many many atrocities .

Is it wise to speak about individuals when the UN is openly neglecting theyr very first duty and we are languishing because of this injustice not because ASTIER is in jail.

Dear Kinnock if my government would have been surrendered to this kind of critics you guys would have torn us apart log time ago.

I hope that the human rights situation in Eritrea does improve. Many western nations and their media were fairly hostile to Eritrea's struggle for independence and tacitly supported Ethiopia. Ethiopia is still a threat. Glenys Kinnock is no doubt aware of the geopolitics.In reality Ethiopia and Eritrea have excellent prospects for building close ties. The guerilla leaders may not be good at administering a free Eritrea. But they will remain in power as long as Ethiopia and its western allies continue to maintain a hostile posture. Too many liberals in the west are too close to establishment geopolitics to be objective

My dear Eritrean brothers and sisters, why wonder about the way Mr. Isayas Afewerq(ki) is trating Eritrea?

He is doing his job, making the Eritrean suffer under a

"Independent Eritrea" to an extent they would hate independence and crave to be a part of Ethiopia again.

why is he doing all that? Because he is a 100% ethiopian with no drop of Eritrean blood, And he has a miision from Mossad to destroy Eritrea. The best evidence of his servitude to the Zionists is the fact that he went for his malaria tratment to Israel. It is well known that his organization the EPLF condemned the Zionists in all course of its history, which was only a camoufulage.

Please check his geneology at: http://www.4dw.net/royalark/Ethiopia/tigray5.htm

Most Eritreans in the Diaspora are either ignorant, deaf, blind, or cowards. When the writers raise issues of human rights, freedom of speech, and the inanielable right to happiness they raise superflous issues such as boundary problems with Ethiopia. The boundary is a minor issues that should impact no more than a few hundred people in BADME area and the 'government of Eritrea' here from known as Isais Inc. rather than a government and deal all other pressing proble,s. But CEO Isais would like us to believe that the boarder issue unless resolved nothing will move forward. Let me tell you CEO Isaia would like the status quo because he will continue to be un accountable to Eritreans and will tell any one who raise issue Eritrea is my company: I will do whatever I want. So the idiots, cowards, and naive will continue to cheer the thug and will be grateful whenever he throw at their face a guaila here and a road to nowhere there and will live chanting "Zbereke TsaHaina Znegese Ngusna". But I feel the pain for our people back home who have no choice but live a miserable life until something good happens.

I wish for the British Parliament to stop funding wars and invasions in our region, then only then we can ask for the Eritrean government to release the detained persons. Untill, then we do not know if the British Parliament was trying to distabilize Eritrea or to finance the detained with overthrowing the government of Eritrea. Eritrea came to be by force and protracted war effort by the people of Eritrea, when the international community shunned our plight fot freedom. It was the British who transferred Eritrea to Ethiopian king then, Haile Sellassie without the consent of the Eritrean people. The Eritrea case is still unresolved issue of WWII. Today, the Eritreans feel they have resolved that question for the first time. Do not tell me to ask for the release of the detained while your parliament is financing wars and invations.
