30 Years of Abuse under Isaias Afwerki

Post by Somaliman » 30 Aug 2023, 16:04

Eritrea gained independence from Ethiopia following 30 years of civil war. Another 30 years later, Eritreans are still not free, as Afwerki, who had led much of the liberation war, gradually showed his true colors as an oppressive dictator and ruthless butcher!


Afwerki's abuse of power has pushed Eritrea into isolation, leading to two-thirds of the country living below the poverty line!
Afwerki had become firmly focused on consolidating power under his leadership. "So, his 30 years in power have been just for himself."
African security analyst Fidel Amakye Owusu



Eritreans have been fleeing their country, not because of any internal conflict but because they are escaping authoritarianism and autocracy.
