Biography of President Isaias Afwerki
Isaias Afwerki as a child with his brothers in Asmara -1956
Isaias Afwerki Detailed Information
Name Isaias Afwerki (Afwerki literally means: 'mouth of gold')
Born February 2, 1946 (74) in Asmara, Eritrea to Eritrean parents
Wife Saba Haile (Saba, was a former freedom fighter for the EPLF)
Children Two boys & one girl Abraham (35), Berhane (24) and Elsa (26)
Religion Orthodox Christian (Eritrean Orthodox, is among the world's oldest faiths)
Height 6'3" tall (190.5cm) (One of the tallest African Heads of State)
Education Addis Ababa University (Former engineering student, before joining ELF)
Isaias Afwerki was born on February 2, 1946 in Asmara, Eritrea[1]. He was sent to the elite Prince Makonnen secondary high school in Asmara, where he graduated in 1965.[2] He went on to attend Haile Selassie University in Addis Ababa to study engineering, from 1965-66.[2] In late 1966, he abandoned his engineering studies and headed for Kassala, Sudan, where he joined the Eritrean Liberation Front (ELF) in exile.[2]
Recalling these early times, Isaias described Eritrean students' political thoughts and sentiments to the historian and author Dan Connel as:
However, after entering the Sudan, his sentiments towards the ELF leadership changed.
Despite his critical opinions of the ELF leadership, Isaias stayed committed to the group and even still carries a tattooed letter "E" on his right shoulder, as a symbol of his youthful exuberance which in those days symbolized the ELF[2]. In early 1967, Isaias and Romadan Mohammed Nur were selected to study military training course in China. They spent nearly two years in China, studying political ideologies and guerilla warfare.[2] Isaias described these early times with the following words:
Isaias Afwerki in the early 1970s
Many of Isaias closest friends describe him as an intelligent and fiercely guarded man, with a no nonsense attitude. One of Isaias' foreign critics described him as,
In 1970, disagreements within the ELF, led to three factions leaving the ELF into three separate groups. One faction took refuge in the mountains of Sahel. Another group under Isaias' command, numbering less than a dozen, left for Eritrea's eastern escarpment. While the third group headed off to Aden and returned by boat to Eritrea, landing south of Assab. These three groups would eventually join to become one and went by the name of: the Eritrean Liberation Front-People's Liberation Front (ELF-PLF). When they formally merged in 1973, they changed their name to the Eritrean Peoples Liberation Front.
Under ELF-PLF and EPLF
In 1971, using a type writer, Isaias wrote a manifesto called "Our Struggle and its Goals"[2]. This manifesto placed strong emphasis on overcoming ethnic and religious differences and on launching revolutionary struggle, during the independence war.[2] In 1975, Isaias became chairman of the EPLF military committee. In 1977, under EPLF's first congress, he was elected to be vice secretary-general of the EPLF. A decade later in 1987, he became the secretary-general of the EPLF. From 1989 to 1993, Isaias had served as the secretary-general of the Provisional Government of Eritrea. In 1993, after achieving de-jure independence, Isaias was elected by the Eritrean assembly to be president.
Isaias being treated for malaria at an Israeli hospital in 1993
On January 7, 1993, just a few months before the referendum for independence were to take place, Isaias went into a coma and almost lost his life; when he was stricken with a severe case of cerebral malaria. He was immediately flown by the US Air Force to Israel, for treatment[4]. The treatment was remarkably effective.
Recalling her visit to Eritrea in 1997, as the former first lady of the United States, Hillary Rodham Clinton in her book titled: Living history, states the following about Isaias and his wife Saba:

Isaias met his wife, Saba Haile, during the struggle to liberate Eritrea. Like him, she was a freedom fighter and they met in Nakfa in the summer of 1981. Together they have three children: Abraham, Elsa and Berhane.
The following are pictures of Isaias Afwerki and pictures related with his brief biography.

Recalling these early times, Isaias described Eritrean students' political thoughts and sentiments to the historian and author Dan Connel as:
Against all odds: a chronicle of the Eritrean revolution, by Dan Connell, p. 79 http://books.google.ca/books?id=LoqJUPb ... ly&f=falseMost of the active students were organized in clandestine groups. Emotionally and sentimentally, everyone was with the ELF. You never knew who was from what tribe or from what religion, because there was not even a hint of that kind of thinking.
However, after entering the Sudan, his sentiments towards the ELF leadership changed.
Against all odds: a chronicle of the Eritrean revolution, by Dan Connell, p.79Before I went to Sudan, the ELF was something like a magical organization to me - maybe some kind of fairy- tale - but the first day I arrived, I became frustrated. People began telling me about the ugly nature of the ELF, and Kassala became a nightmare for me. For some reason we were ostracized, even accused of being agents for the Ethiopians. Very narrow considerations of clan, tribe and religion were the basis for surviving or not surviving. We were living in an atmosphere of terror, where we had to go in groups; especially at dusk, to look after each other. It was definitely an awkward situation after all those years of fighting for this organization.
Despite his critical opinions of the ELF leadership, Isaias stayed committed to the group and even still carries a tattooed letter "E" on his right shoulder, as a symbol of his youthful exuberance which in those days symbolized the ELF[2]. In early 1967, Isaias and Romadan Mohammed Nur were selected to study military training course in China. They spent nearly two years in China, studying political ideologies and guerilla warfare.[2] Isaias described these early times with the following words:
Isaias Afwerki in the early 1970s
said Isaias later.I remember when we got back from China,
Against all odds: a chronicle of the Eritrean revolution, by Dan Connell, p.80It was the peak of politics, within the ELF. The talk of reform was everywhere. Everyone trained in Syria and elsewhere, joined hands. There were all sorts of revolutionary ideas. We had high hopes in those days. The reform movement was so strong that I wouldn't have imagined it could be frustrated in a few months but it was infiltrated, and survival was not possible.
Many of Isaias closest friends describe him as an intelligent and fiercely guarded man, with a no nonsense attitude. One of Isaias' foreign critics described him as,
[3]Imposingly tall, fiercely intelligent, naturally austere. He had chosen his path early in life, rebelling against a father who was a committed Unionist.
In 1970, disagreements within the ELF, led to three factions leaving the ELF into three separate groups. One faction took refuge in the mountains of Sahel. Another group under Isaias' command, numbering less than a dozen, left for Eritrea's eastern escarpment.

As we watched folk dancers perform in a courtyard built by the Italians during their colonial occupation, I asked President Afwerki, who had given up his university studies to fight in the resistance, if he had ever found time to dance during their long war. "Of course," he replied. "We had to dance to remind ourselves of a world without war."
Isaias met his wife, Saba Haile, during the struggle to liberate Eritrea. Like him, she was a freedom fighter and they met in Nakfa in the summer of 1981. Together they have three children: Abraham, Elsa and Berhane.

Okay! Okay! Enough with this ሻዕውያ lie, and it must be a lie. How can a human being rise up from the dead? Christ did it for he is heavenly. But, last time I checked, PIA was earthly mortal like the rest of us.
Now, when reliable people, very reliable, like Asswash ሓሳድ ዓጋመ፡ almaze ዓባቕ ዑጉም፡ QB ጋዕጋዕ ኣራይ ኰዕንቲ፡ Justice Seeker ቆርፋድ ወያነ፡ and other human wastes, authoritatively declare the honorable President, aka the destroyer of the unattainable ሕልሚ "ዓባይ ትግራይ"፡ (whatever the hell that may mean), "cowardly" hibernating in Dahlak island, sick, very sick, dying at various Arabian hospitals and finally dead - so much so that the honorable Eritrean First Lady, w/o Saba was forced to contribute some money in the name of her dying (dead) husband.
And now you tell us that all that story told by the Agames are fake and delusional? I don't believe it, no! no! I don't, not even for a second until I hear from my favorite Digital Weyane. Calling Digital Weyane for elaboration.
