The kind of lies woyane tell
Posted: 06 Feb 2021, 04:12
This is what the woyanes told a gullible white journalist, who innocently asked why it was that there were many beggars in Addis but none in Asmara. He of course bought this wholesale, and was repeating it during interviews, reports, and even more damaging in private conversationsBoth we and Eritrea are dirt poor. The difference is we are a democracy, Eritrea a dictatorship. Beggars in Ethiopia are free to roam the streets, in Eritrea the dictator either kills them or hides them far away. That is why you see beggars in Addis, but not Asmara
This is what Seyoum Mesfin told Alex de Wall, that de Wall still believes to this dayWe had to bring Amhara officers from the dergue era, because the proud Tigray tegadelti refused to join the military marching bands that we badly needed to welcome foreign dignitaries
Again this is what Seyoum Mesfin told Alex de Wall, that de Wall still keeps repeating during interviews to this day.If you want you can go and see the Dergue officials, they are held in a dormitory at a university. We have only two guards outside, actually not to keep them from escaping but to protect them from the public who may come and attack them
The kind of lies the woyane tell reinforces the kind of prejudice white people have about Africa, which they easily believe because it perfectly fits their preconceived ideas. That is why Isaias use to call the woyane kedemti when they were still alive.
