Of course, this is a secretive criminal junta. I don't think Pushkin the resident fool of ER, meant what he wrote and make the government appear to be a one-man dictatorship. You see, argument is not his forte. So forgive him.
But this is a criminal organization and like all criminal organizations, has difficulty replacing any of its members who die or get killed or removed violently out of the scene.
This is because, replacing any of his old partners in crime, is always fraught with danger that the new blood is going to know all those criminal activities and nobody knows how the new recruit is going to react when he finds out the criminal activities.
So when all those Ministers die, they remain irreplaceable because no one is trusted enough to be privy to the criminal activities that are kept in the dark. So Eritrea has no Defense Minister, or Mining minister, or Miister of Education, or an Ambassador to Ethiopia, or just name anything. The pool of criminal talents he could pick from, is getting smaller and smaller and evntually like Pushkin said it will end up being a real one-man government.
Re: What is the "Eritrean Government" ("Government of Eritrea")?
Dear Pastlast: It is better for the Opposition to make peace with PFDJ, PIA, and the Government
I sense that what I am going to say may upset you, but I've to say what I think is best for Eritrea. The Government of Eritrea was/is transitional in many ways: transitional from a guerrilla army into a governing body of the whole society, from a liberation front into a peaceful political party, from a government leading a country in peace times to one that faced hostile enemies, an entity whose front leadership united to liberate Eritrea into a government whose leadership was split and in a power struggle after a border war with Etiyopiya, etc. In my view, the Provisional Government of Eritrea made President Issaias Afwerki the President/Chairman of the Hagerawi Baiyto, the Head of State, and the Chief Executive Officer and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. These are too much power given to one person, and that was a blunder the G-15 and Co. tried to "fix", and lost in the power struggle. If both sides did not believe they were right, the conflict wouldn't have ended that way, but it did. The G-15 & Co. should have restrained their drive, recognized all the powers they invested in PIA & Co., settle the border conflict, wait until the 1997 Constitution becomes operational, and vote PIA & Co. out of office. I want the Opposition, if it wants to be effective, to learn some lessons from the past.
Going back to the 1970s Eritrean civil war or 2001 is painful, but we cannot live those unfortunate events forever. We have to move on. Angry and other emotional actions are not the best to establish a constitutional government. Our best method of resolving conflicts must be, from now onward, peaceful/legal methods. Let us focus on the main political objectives---form a republic (or a representative people's government) with a constitution that could be amended, and let us improve our people's living situations. If we can do these things, we can change leaders through elections, and the Government would stop to be transitional. Isn't that what you want? Many Eritreans, including Pastlast & Co, PFDJ and I, support these objectives.
There is peace between Eritrea and Etiyopiya, now. What is next is to build the State and a Government that fits it, and work together in developing Eritrea in every aspect. The opposition has to make peace with PIA, PFDJ, and the Government instead of becoming vengeful, inimical, and talking of "either us or them." That is what is necessary, now, with respect to the best interests of the Eritrean people. If Eritrea and Etiyopiya, who were at deadly war against each other, can make a peace deal, I believe it is much easier for the Opposition to make peace with the Government.

Merhano the low IQ dedebit Agame! The following clearly indicates who you are 
Tog Wojale, I don't spam anything. I am from Dedebit but don't spam anything. I am the hand that feeds the people of Asmara, by the direct order of PIA and Abiy Ahmed.

Re: What is the "Eritrean Government" ("Government of Eritrea")?
How can the G-15 imprisoned make peace with PIA, PFDJ? Well PIA has all the Power and you obviously see he will not give up any of that, why would he? And you and your PFDJ members are 100% are ok with his Dictatorship. Let me you know this, the Next Dictator of Eritrea will be HUNTING you down one by one wherever you are in the West , You are NOT SAFE! The culture of Revenge is Prevalent in the Eritrean Global Society! That is why many of you are Betting on Isaias AFwerki, but guess what the Next Dictator won't be Isaias and you won't know what He or She may want! But know this, whatever you Permitted and Accepted and Promoted in terms of Condemning Other Eritreans will BeFALL on yoU!...
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND, Same Old Thing, the Same Old Thing!
We are Still in Dictatorship and to talk about Working with a Dictatorship is No Different than saying "We should work with a Terrorist Holding Us Hostage!"...Eventually we're going to have to Kill the Terrorist (Dictator) otherwise there will be more of these political Terrorists!
The BALL is in Isaias Afwerki (PFDJ/his Cabinet/his generals') COURT to Make the Necessary Changes or Show something otherwise the Alternative is You know what! And you can't say anything as silly as "Eritrean culture is a non-violent culture blah blah blah" because Eritrean culture is among many things, a Culture of Revenge, Retribution, making sure someone pays back for their Crime. If you disagree with this, then please refer to the writings of Cigar ( one who seeks revenge for any slight and his willingness to seek revenge is not something unique to him), he expresses the nature...the rest of us pretend to be Civilised until we are Finally put to our Edge!
Isaias Afwerki (his cabinet) better change and relinquish, we are not Sudanese, Sudanese Proverb "Keep your tongue long and your arms short" meaning "You can say the worst insults" but "do not attack with your arms", ie "freedom of speech" but "Not freedom of violence".
I think we Eritreans are penting up our Rage will explode one day if not diffused!

Re: What is the "Eritrean Government" ("Government of Eritrea")?
Dear Pastlast: I knew you were going to get upset
I know you are intelligent, but if one gets upset or is in a rush, (s)he is likely to make mistakes. You made two errors: you categorized me as PFDJ while I am not, and you said Eritrea is older than 28 years, while it is not, as a free nation. I am a regular Eritrean, and I am not a member of PFDJ or the Government. I am challenging your, or the Opposition's, arguments, and expressing my views on what is best for Eritrea. I was debating with the intelligent, not the angry, Pastlast. And, Eritrea as an independent nation is only 28 years old, and our pre-1890 ancestors were not running their affairs as one Eritrean nation. It is, however, true that our ancestors had traditions of the basic elements of democracy, republicanism, and confederation. They did not have a free political authority, a free army, or common national constitution to unite them. What we have now is much more developed governmental system than pre-1890, but we have to make our Government better and lasting for us to live as free people.
What I could not figure out is if your primary struggle is to free the "imprisoned" G-15 & Co. or to establish a republic in Eritrea? The G-15 & Co. did what they believed was right and unfortunately, as a matter of fact, lost the fight, and are suffering the consequences. I hope the Government gives them clemency. But Eritrea is bigger than the G-15 & Co. and building a constitutional republic is the most important national necessity I see to be of common purpose. And I believe reaching that objective best is through the Opposition making peace with the Government.
You are threatening that you would like to shoot PIA dead because you believe he is a "dictator". Who is stopping you? Don't blame me for that. I didn't give him all the powers that he has, primarily the G-15 & Co. did. But I have to be honest with you: civil war, or widespread armed violence, after the ER-ET peace deal, would not be in the best interests of the Eritrean people. Civil wa,r in order to change the Government, ought to be a means of last resort. I want you to calm down and reconsider the main points of what I am trying to say. Do me a favor. Give it a thought please.

Re: What is the "Eritrean Government" ("Government of Eritrea")?
Eritrea is older than 28, do not insult my intelligence here..Infact you are insulting Every Eritrean that Fought for Eritrea's Independence including upto the Unwanted Confederation with Ethiopia in the 1950s,don't lie here YAY. PFDJ wants us to believe that Eritrea is only 28, that the Country began only at that time, that is Bullschit and DISRESPECTFUL to EVERY MARTYR who FOUGHT FOR ERITREA's INDEPENDENCE from ANNEXATION!....A FREE PEOPLE FIGHT for their FREEDOM NOT FOR EQUALITY or SOME SENSE OF CITIZENSHIP TO THEIR OPPRESSOR!...In Eritrea's Case, we were Independent in the 1940s-1960s, we were Independent pre-1890s, so yes We have Been FREE MAJORITY of OUr 3000 Year old History. For a PFDJ to go into a Stupid technicality and say that we have only been independent for 28 years....name an Independent Eritrean that has Challenged Isaias Afwerki successfuly? NOt many if Any! The only reason being, Isaias Afwerki is a Dictator of Children , yes the Isaias Afwerki only knows how to Threaten and Abuse Children who don't know they can fight back, once they know they can fight back (They either Flea because they know they can't single handedly fight the Goons of Isaias (like Zmeselo, Cigar, pushkin ...who have no problem murdering children)....or wait out the torture...,
Anyways, your assertion that Eritrea as a Country is only 28, is FALSE!~
