I have some questions that the western audience that this documentary was intended for wouldn't even be able to ask since they would not have enough background knowledge other than what is being presented on the surface. For instance after arrest of parents it appears these kids were living okay in eritrea (except missing their parents)...how long was that period and to what age? It appears their problems first started when they tried to flee to Sudan, and what was the timeline for those details & what age? How long was the imprisonment for trying to cross border to Sudan & were they allowed to reintegrate after imprisonment?...the editing work on documentary makes it seem that they were imprisoned from young age & sent to labor camps for decades until they tried another escape thru ethiopia. Are the producers/editors misinforming audience by inferring you get arrested and get sent to labor camps even though the national service program is totally different. If she was given 2weeks leave obviously she was not in prison during those times & was instead in national service program like rest of her peers. When the second escape was attempted and made thru ethiopia, what was the timeline and ages then? Who facilitated the passage? Who recieved them in ethiopia (which ethio govt officials? and which international agencies?) How long was their stay in ethiopia and did they have any debriefings? When & who facilitated their resettlement to another country from ethiopia and testimonies did they sign/make beforehand?, was any coaching involved? Once resettled in the west, who recieved them and funded them? Were they sought after by political & human rights organizations? or did they seek out those organizations?
We are talking about issues that has lasted for more than 20 years and still counting. And yet, with time the pain, agony and strife that our people are facing are not diminishing but multiplying. Despite that being the case, it doesn't seem to concern you that much at all. Does it?
Your concern is more about, why this should be known by anyone. It should be kept secret and hidden away from the sun light is your solution.
As they say, "ሓባእ ቁስሉ ሓባእ ፈውሱ" roughly translated “ He who conceal his injury keeps his medicine concealed from him”.
You see, if a father of a family, doesn't feel responsible to take care of his own family and begin to mistreat them, beat his wife, beat his children and force them to go hungry and naked. What do you expect the mistreated family members to do after they failed to do everything they can, to make their father take heed of their concern and their mother was not strong enough to take a stand to what was happening to her and protect her children.
Well, certainly the case of the family will be public and the problem of the children will get both negative and positive attention and at the end of the day, the children will probably get some good hearted people or closer relatives who can adopt them.
The father = President Isaias
The mother = (Zmeselo, Hazega/Tsazega, Revolution, Hawzen, …., …...)
Children = (Eritrea, Keren, Hardline, Deqi-Arawit, Sabur …...and many more)
