wow great speech DR Gaim. i really appreciate this on behave of our people.you are one of the voice for the voiceless .

Coming from a presumed Shabea or Woyanne supporter, I take that as a compliment. So thank you Shabea/Woyanne supporter.

If Eritrea's government leaders are replaced by Eritrean citizens with brain , it would take a mare 5-10 years to propel the national economy to the same level as European countries. Eri. needs competent , qualified, experienced, educated leaders. YOU NEED A LOT OF EDUCATION TO UNDERSTAND AND ADMIT THAT WAR/ VIOLENCE IS NOT AN OPTION . Unless one is highly educated he is incapable of diplomacy.Peaceful solution is our best option. GOOD FOR YOU Dr. GAIM> MAY GOD BLESS YOU.

Serving forgein interest, Ethiopia has been waging ENDLESS WARS against Sudan, Somalia and Eritrea, since the English General NAPIER GOTTEN SLAUGHTERED IN SUDAN. Next, Sudan slaughtered YOHANESS in Ethiopia. The CYCLE of Ethiopian wars continues expanding against ERITREA, SOMALIA and INTERNAL ETHIOPIAN WARS.

Very true about the artificial borders. sad.

Question for Zelalem H. is Badme worth loosing 20,000 Eritrean citizens who had so much to live for and God knows how many maimed???? War for Badme was totally completely unnecessary.

Idiot is some one who advocates for war when there was a choice to resolve the matter diplomatically. Don't you think ???? WAR COSTS HIWET SEB AND A LOT OF GENZEB , BUT DIPLOMATIC AND PEACEFUL RESOLUTIONS SAVE LIVES.

SLAVE EMPIRES PREACHING "LIBERTY" TRADE ON ERITREAN BLOOD. "From the point of view of justice, the opinions of the Eritrean people must receive consideration. Nevertheless, the strategic interests of the US in the Red Sea Basin and considerations of security and world peace make it necessary that Eritrea be linked with our ally, Ethiopia". John F. Dulles US State Secretary In Dec. 2,1950, the UN voted 46 to 10 to federate Eritrea with Ethiopia, against Eritreans demand for independence.

You haven't said anything new. All what you're saying our government and our leader said it. We were forced to the war.

Are you serious Dr. Gaim Kebreab? So Mr. Kibreab, it is better to stay with the current regime, because the next is going to be the same any way, if anyone puts a hand on Isaias, is your point. In that case then let us just keep begging Isaias to be a little nicer or at least not get worse. Very amusing! It is bad enough that you did not oppose the regime in Eritrea years ago, the day after the brutal murder of the disabled independence war veterans at the latest.

I cant believe that he just simply said it hyperbolic-ally, Badme is "Useless" ...it is even wouldn't be worth being bought for ₤10.

FYI: Horn of Africa, being very strategic location for GLOBAL MARITIME TRADE AND PROXIMITY TO MIDDLE EAST AND ASIA, the region has been WAR ZONE since BIBLICAL TIMES, from Roman to Ottaman to Egyptian and European Empires. Therefore, your LECTURE IS TOTALLY WRONG. ADDING, Egyptian vs Ethiopian, English Vs Ethiopian, Italian Vs Ethiopian, and WWII, Italy Vs ALLIED FORCES, wrecked the region for more than 500 years. Finally, Ethiopia INVADING AND OCCUPYING Eritrea keeps the 50yrs war going.

You failed to know the ethiopian intentions over Eritrea,i ask you two questions 1-Would we get our independence had we gone through peaceful means?2- if its as you think its a "badme" issue,why did the ethiopian tried to occupy Assab and the conflict was extended to zorona zalambesa etc fronts? Shame on you.

This guy is clueless.
