    Chapter 05 - Planning Change from Inside

    The most arduous hindrance to bringing democratic change to Eritrea is that citizens in Eritrea have no freedom of association or the press. That makes it difficult for Eritreans inside Eritrea to plan and execute change. This video suggests an alternative way of going around that; namely, working through the Eritrean opposition in the diaspora. Local Eritreans, need only identify the political party, that stands nearest to their aspirations. They do this by following closely all the political development in the diaspora.  In other words, locals need to decide beforehand how they will ‘cast their vote’ when the time arrives to do so, in an election. They can vote for an existing party or wait until another is formed after the change. All they need to do, now, is commit themselves, to seriously follow the parties, their programs, and their competence to implement. The video reassures locals that all the resources, that Eritreans overseas have at their disposal, namely freedom, money, know-how, etc, can be shared with them. The biggest resources are the huge numbers of citizens overseas, and their willingness to connect with Eritrea. ኣብ ኤርትራ ዲሞክራስያዊ ለውጢ ንምምጻእ እቲ ኣዝዩ ከቢድ ዕንቅፋት ኮይኑ ዘሎ፣ ኣብ ኤርትራ ዘለዉ ዜጋታት ናይ ምእካብ ይኹን ናይ ፕረስ ናጽነት ዘይብሎም ምዃኑ እዩ። እዚ ድማ ኣብ ውሽጢ ኤርትራ ዝርከቡ ኤርትራውያን ለውጢ ንምውጣንን ንምፍጻምን የጸግሞም ምዃኑ እዩ። እዛ ቪድዮ ንዕኡ ዝፈትሕ ኣማራጺ መንገዲ ትሕብር፤ ንሱ ማለት ድማ ኣብ ዲያስፖራ ብዝርከቡ ተቓወምቲ ኤርትራውያን ኣቢልካ ምስራሕ እዩ። ውሽጢ ዝነብሩ ኤርትራውያን፣ ነታ ንባህግታቶም ተማልእ ፖለቲካዊ ውድብ ናይ ምልላይ ዕማም ጥራይ እዩ ዝጽበዮም። ነዚ ድማ ነቲ ኣብ ዲያስፖራ ዝኸይድ ዘሎ ፖለቲካዊ ምዕባለ ብቐረባ ብምክትታል ክገብርዎ ይኽእሉ። ብኻልእ ኣዘራርባ፡ ነበርቲ ዓዲ፡ ድሕሪ ለውጢ ምርጫ ምግባር ዝከኣለሉ እዋን ምስ ኣኸለ፡ ‘ንመን ከምዘድምጹ’ ኣቐዲሞም ወሲኖም ይጸንሑ ማለት እዩ። ካብ ግዳም ሰልፊታት ንሓንቲ ከድምጹ ወይ ድማ ድሕሪ ለውጢ ትምስረት ሰልፊ ክጽበዩ ይኽእሉ። ሕጂ ክገብርዎ ዘለዎም ሓደ ዕማም ግን፡ ነተን ውድባትን መደባተንን ናይ ምትግባር ብቕዓተንን ብዕቱብ ምክትታል ጥራይ እዩ። ኣብ ወጻኢ ሃገራት ዝርከቡ ኤርትራውያን፡ ዝውንኑዎ ጸጋታት - ማለት ናጽነት፡ ገንዘብ፡ ፍልጠት ወዘተ፡ - ተቐመጥቲ ዓዲ ክጥቀሙሉ ከም ዝኽእሉ እዛ ቪድዮ ንተቐመጥቲ ዓዲ ኩሉ ተረጋግጸሎም። ነቲ ዝዓበየ ጸጋ ግን እቲ ኣብ ወጻኢ ሃገራት ዝርከቡ ዜጋታት ብዝሖም ገዚፍ ምዃኑን፡ ንኤርትራ ዘለዎም ተወፋይነት ክብ ዝበለ ምዃኑ ብተወሳኺ ትገልጽ። Hosted on Acast.

    Chapter 06 - 130 Years Absence of Citizens from Power

    Born on January 01, 1890, Eritrea is now more than 130 years old. The video tells how, in this period, its citizens have never been given the right to administer their own country. It follows, then, that they have never had the exposure to develop the competence and the institutions of administration of a nation. Comparing Eritrea with fellow African countries, it states that, unlike Eritrea, all but a few, had inherited the required skills and the institutions of government from their European colonizers. Moreover, they all started decades ahead of Eritrea, to fine-tune their competencies in and institutions of administering their nations.  In conclusion, it states that it is high time that Eritrean political parties start making serious plans for the period after the collapse of the current regime.  ኤርትራ ብጥሪ 1890 እያ ዝተወለደት። እዛ ቪድዮ ብከመይ፡ ዜጋታት ኤርትራ ካብ ሽዑ ክሳብ ሎሚ፡ ማለት ንልዕሊ 130 ዓመታት፡ ሃገሮም ኣመሓዲሮም ከም ዘይፈልጡ ትገልጽ። ከም ሳዕቤኑ ኸኣ፡ ንምምሕዳር ሃገር ዘገልግል ውህሉል ኣፍልጦ ይኹን ሙኩራት ትካላትን ከማዕበሉ ኣይኸኣሉን፣ ዜጋታት ንመጻኢ ዘለዎም ብድሆ እዚ እዩ።  ካልኦት ሃገራት ኣፍሪቃ፡ ሓደ ክልተ ገዲፍካ፡ ዘመናዊ ትካላት ምምሕዳር ሃገር ካብ ኤውሮጳውያን ገዛእተን ዝወረሳ ምዃነን እዛ ቪድዮ ትገልጽ፣ ብዘይካኡ’ውን ናይ ዓሰርተታት ዓመታት ናይ ምምሕዳር ተሞኩሮ ዝያዳ ኤርትራ ከምዘዋህለላ ትጠቅስ።   ኤርትራውያን ዘለዎም እንኮ ኣማራጺ፡ ንድሕሪ ምፍራስ እዚ ስርዓት’ዚ፡ ዘድሊ ምድላው ምግባር እዩ፡ እዚ ንምምሕዳር ሃገር ዝምልከት ምድላዋት ናይ ምግባር ሓላፍነት’ዚ ድማ ንፖለቲካዊ ውድባት ይምልከት ይብል። Hosted on Acast.

    Chapter 08 - We were not prepared to take over power AFTER 1991

    In the first years after Eritrea declared independence in 1991, there were several occassions in which citizens challenged the leadership of EPLF, the seemingly ‘undisputed hero’ of liberation. The challenge came from all corners, including, from within the EPLF’s rank and file, but from historically rival organizations such as the ELF, as well. These challenges and protests against EPLF, now the PFDJ, still continue after more than 30 year, today.  The video points out that it was a missed chance that it was not political organizations, who organized or led these protests, but individuals or tiny groups. It argues that this fact has been and still is the strategic shortcoming of Eritreans to force the current regime to hand-over power to representatives of the citizens. Political parties have not, so far, taken upon themselves to make campaigning for their respective political power in government, their priority. ኤርትራ ኣብ 1991 ናጽነታ ድሕሪ ምእዋጃ፡ ኣብ ዝነበራ ቀዳሞት ዓመታት፡ ዜጋታት ነቲ ብህዝቢ ከም ‘ዘይድፈር ጅግና’ ዝውሰድ ዝነበረ መሪሕነት ህዝባዊ ግንባር ብተቓውሞ ዝብድሁሉ ሓያሎ ኣጋጣሚታት ተኸሲቶም ነይሮም። እቲ ብድሆ ካብ ኩሉ ኩርናዓት፡ ልዕሊ ኩሉ ካብ ውሽጢ መሳርዕ ህ.ግ. ከምኡ’ውን ካብ በዓል ተጋድሎ ሓርነት ኤርትራ ዝኣመሰላ ኣብ ታሪኽ ተቓወምቲ ህ.ግ. ዝነበራ ውዳበታት እዩ ዝመጽእ ዝነበረ። እቲ ተቓውሞታት፡ እነሆ ን30 ዓመታት ቀጺሉ እዩ። እዛ ቪድዮ’ዚኣ፡ ነዚ ተቓውሞታት ዝወደቡ ወይ ዝመርሕዎ፡ ውልቀሰባትን ናኣሽቱ ጉጅለታትን እምበር ፖለቲካዊ ውድባት ዘይምንባረን፡ ክንደየናይ ዕድላት ለውጢ ኣብ ሃገር ከምዘምለጠ ትሕብር። ኤርትራውያን ነቲ ስርዓት’ዚ፡ ስልጣን ንዜጋታት ከረክብ ንምስግዳድ ዘይኸኣለሉ ሓደን ቀንዲን ምኽንያት እዚ ስትራተጂካዊ ድኽመት’ዚ ምዃኑ፡ ትምጉት። ፖለቲካዊ ውድባት ካብ ናጽነት ክሳብ ሎሚ ፖለቲካዊ ስልጣን መንግስቲ ም-ክፋል ወይ ም-ምቓል ብቀዳምነት ዘይምስረዐን ንለውጢ ኣደናጒይዎ ይርከብ። Hosted on Acast.
