Life under the Eritrean Islamist Jihadis
Posted: 20 Aug 2021, 14:11
Hear it here from the mouth of the Arab slaves in the Eritrean Islamist Jihadi leaders who hate their own Eritreaness, identity, history and languages that they even burned their own books in Tigre and Tigrinya in order to Arabize and Islamize Eritrea, also beheaded and collaborated in the death of many Eritrean Christians.
Here are the words of the Deputy Amir of the Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement - Abul Bara' Hassan Salman:
Life under the Eritrean Islamist Jihadi Arab slaves will not be different from that of the Talibans in Afghanistan now
Question: Can you please illustrate the approach and the general plan of the Movement to rid Eritrea from the Christian regime?
Answer: The Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement seeks change and reform in accordance with the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (s.a.w), this can be summarised into two basic aspects, Da'wa and Jihad.
This comes through taking Islam to the general population in accordance with the words of Allah: "Say: 'this is my way, I invite unto Allah with sure knowledge, I and whosoever follows me, and Subhanallah, and I am not one of the polytheists'." [12: 108].
This requires greater concentration on correct Islamic education, and to apply all means permitted by Islam to achieve this goal, talking to each group according to their understanding, bearing in mind the obstacles placed in the way which make it difficult to carry this knowledge to a lot of the people. The Islamic Jihad Movement is striving against two groups, the Christian regime and the hypocrites in accordance with the words of the Most High: "O prophet, strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be strong over them."
In the shade of this preface which is based on Islamic principles, the axes of change with the Jihad movement revolve in the following:
1- Armed struggle and training youth.
2- Da'wa and education, which works to destroy the fallacies of the regime and educates the Eritrean people to bring together their creed and religious requirements.
3- In the political and the Media through manifesting the various political policies and the creation of the necessary organisational moulds so that we can avoid the enemies' plots. In this, we accompany the Qur'an and Sunnah and aim to fulfill as a group all the aims therein and to realise our position as servants of Allah, and to establish the Islamic State.
4- Despite our shortage of resources on the economic front, we consider it to be one of the main pillars for the movement for Islamic change, since spending the money was given preference and priority over the lives in most verses of the Qur'an, and since the lack of funds could set back many activities.
5- The external front, which is also of the fundamental areas for any group which looks to change and reform. This is a very sensitive front from the aspect of our strategic security, and it requires well-planned external activities to expose the regime. In this respect we:
a- Liaise and exchange our experience and expertise with other Muslim organisations which also work to challenge the various corrupt regimes in the region.
b- Concentrate our activities amongst Muslims through means which will enable them to see the conspiracies of the enemies and their plots to uproot Islam and Muslims.
c- Strive to generate the suitable opportunities to support our Jihad through Islamic means.
d- Move around neighbouring countries and expose the corruption of the Eritrean regime and its danger over the entire region on the religious, security, and political fronts.
Generally speaking, the process of change is an encompassing one which aims at the creeds, the concepts, the knowledge, the principles, the values and the morals, Allah Most High said: "Truly, Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change what is inside themselves." [13: 11].
What is the extent of the tie between the Eritrean people and the Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement?
The public support for any change or reform movement is related to the extent of the commonality of their goals culturally, religiously, socially, and politically. What is also required is the presence of efforts to increase the public awareness of what is happening around them. The leadership has set realistic goals and has proved its ability to lead the people. The leadership also carries the concerns of the Eritrean people and their religious aspirations as it also represents the alternative political organisation which is able to confront the Christian regime governing Eritrea.
The Jihad movement also works to renew its framework and mechanisim whenever its circle of support expands. The movement also represents the only military option which had proved its fortitude in confronting the Christian regime in Eritrea. These catalysts made the Eritrean people gather around the Jihad Movement and its Islamic program, and led them to offer all that they have both inside and outside the country.
Eritrean Islamic Jihad is referred to as the Eritrean Islamic Salvation Movement, EIJM, EIJ, ERIJ, EISM, Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement, and/or Harakat al Jihad al Islami al Eritrea. The Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement (ERIJ), the Jeberti al Nahda Movement, the Abu Shihel movement ... is one of several opposition groups that operates in Eritrea and from surrounding countries.

The Governing Regime is a Terrorist Regime Which Acts With Enmity Against the Eritrean People
