The Hypocrisy of Eritrean 'Opposition' Groups

By Barnabas Araya Yohannes,

The so called opposition groups are divided against themselves by tribalism, regionalism, and religious fanaticism. This evidence makes a mockery of the ethos they proclaimed to profess.

The current opposition groups and individuals present a special threat because they do not usually declare their evil intentions openly but instead they secretly sow the seeds of distrust and suspicion. Outwardly they assert their firmness and commitment for Eritrean unity, while inwardly they are engaged in dividing and agitating the people. These treacherous enemies, who by day and night, openly and secretly, do their utmost to shake the foundations of our unity and who kindle secret sedition and strife, appear as 'sheep, yet inwardly they are naught but ravening wolves.' Sweet in words, they are, but at heart, they are deadly poison.

No doubt every arrogant one that plots dissension and discord will not openly declare his evil purposes; nay rather, even as a fake gold, he would shine and sparkle, and would seize upon divers measures and various pretexts that he may separate the gathering of our community.

These people are like vicious animals, which are lying in ambush, watching for an opportunity. By every means, they are trying to cause divisions among the people in order to achieve their hidden agendas, vested interests, and ulterior motives. Not so in Eritrea.

Our people and community must be protected from these kinds of hypocrites. All showing of kindness or goodwill efforts will always produce contrary results. Should they be allowed to continue they will, in but just within few years, destroy the hard won Eritrean unity.

What they have done is an attempt to strike with their axes at the root of the tree of our unity. No community can be expected to sacrifice its identity and unity out of mistaken tolerance. They must be avoided by all means necessary. If dictatorship is the only way to keep them away from Eritrea, let it be.
