Eritreans, regardless of their political leanings, condemned the behavior of the mafia regime when it incarcerated the father of Maebel Kiflay for a crime his son was merely presumed to have committed. The regime has accused Maebel of not paying enough taxes in Eritrea, despite the fact that he is simply a YouTuber who earns a living in the United States.
By holding Maebel’s father as a hostage, the regime attempted to blackmail and extort Maebel into toeing their line — a move that only further enraged Eritreans. Even some of the regime’s most die-hard supporters are beginning to lose patience with the incompetence of the alcoholic tyrant, and many are now openly demanding change.
That’s also why Wedi Medhin Berad is suddenly staging an “interview” to talk about international and regional issues
. It has become a habit for the useless dictator to act like an expert on world politics — constantly dissecting global and regional affairs — despite the fact that he can't even solve basic problems in a single zone of Eritrea.
