ጎዳይፍ - Part 2 ምን ጉድ ያሳየን ይሆን? Fingers crossed it won't be as bad as part 1

[eden]

this video is like those made reminiscing Addis’s neighborhoods. if you grew up in such localities, it brings memories. to use these videos for other purposes is just meaningless in my mind.

it’s okay to criticize the rulers but shouldn’t we be sensitive to how people may feel?

Eden, by criticizing the “rulers,” you show how their ruling has destroyed the hope and dreams of millions. Eritrea is dying on broad daylight, and I applaud for anyone who exposes the dying. The guy is the only person on this planet who uses a microphone or something — I don’t know what it is — to disseminate the reality on the ground.
I know for those who have been brought up brainwashed the Singapore of Africa was on the making, seeing such a picture might be disappointing. Well, I say it is understood.
Isayes and his ancient generals might make it 2030, but not 2040. There is still hope for Eritrea.

Affegna,

I don’t disagree with your point.

but my point is that such videos shouldn’t be used to make that point. this video brings memories of life for many and people have right to enjoy it without having to think about political failures.

there’s a ton of material online for that.

Almaze thanks for posting the videos. I have seen it to the very end. I have read articles, magazines, and everything that I could get in my possession that tells facts about Eritrea. However, I admit I am not knowledgeable about Eritrea; I am not that ignorant either. Despite having some knowledge nothing has prepared me for the videos that I just saw. If I were able to understand ትግሪኛ, I might have learned a lot. But still these videos have taught me more than all the readings I have had about Eritrea. The towns and the country side that the video depicts seem to me a place that residents have left, but only some unfortunate stuck around.

Eritrea in 4k - Akria-Asmara - ኣኽርያ - Part 4

This one is better, Almaze. It has somehow a feel of small town. People are aggregating albeit in small numbers, and children are playing. You see people riding bicycles. A few people are driving cars. In the previous videos, I have seen old parked cars which seem un drivable, but not a single soul driving a car. There is some activity in this video; the place shows a sign of life. The previous videos depict a place that is desolate.
In this video, I have seen taxis. A restaurant where the narrator has eaten a sandwich and drank Coca Cola.
I have seen a grand mosque that is not as ancient as the other buildings are.
However if you want to make a case that Isayes and his ancient generals should go, you do not need to have a robust debate about it.
All you have to do is to show these videos. They speak a hard truth no sane person could dispute against. The videos demonstrate a failure of thirty-seven years.
By the way, I am amazed Isayes has allowed his failure to be recorded and disseminate to the world at large. I really am.

Something is brewing in Eritrea!

I really, really wish that is to be true. His departure whether forced or voluntarily paves the way for Eritrea to start a new promising beginning, and the region to be free of animosity between neighboring countries. When his stronghold of Eritrea ends, it is not only Eritreans who will benefit ; it is the whole region.
