"I still miss them a lot... I even dare to dream of their release"



Ibrahim Sherifo, 30, has not seen or heard from his parents since he was 13 years old when they were "disappeared" in Eritrea.



Ibrahim Sherifo grew up with his parents in the battle zone

Mr Ibrahim was born in a battle zone in 1987 - when Eritrean rebels were fighting for independence.
His early memories were dominated by war - aerial bombardments, being herded in and out of bomb shelters, seeing combatants departing to or returning from the frontline.
Most of all he remembers the camaraderie of the freedom fighters during the struggle.

His father and mother joined the Eritrean Liberation Front in 1967 and 1974, respectively, and became leading figures in the campaign against Ethiopian rule.

He remembers that his father spent decades alongside Mr Isaias in the trenches and caves of the Sahel Mountains.
"How can a revolution devour its own?" he asks.
