Shabia bressed off news
waw how some one says war is good, as I read some comments this that is not good. why people are dying for unnecessary conflict which is going to stop now or later on? we are not able to return the beloved once form both sides. so why we do not oppose for war? we were learned form the near past, that around 100000 people lost their life and the war stopped then. Could you please let we oppose the fight and find some mechanism to leave in peace. I am not good in English but hope pass some idea and a person who support peace please write a statement and organize the room to oppose the fight and stand for peace.
May God have mercy on us. War is not an option for both people. We have to learn from the past, we have suffered enough…….
Any bloodshed is unjust! People should not die to serve the elite.But if your mother land is invaded, no choice you have to shed blood to have a country where you can excercise your rights as per you cultural situation. Now I do not think the Ethiopian Gov have any interest in Eritrea. But Eritrea need war to divert the attention of the UN proposal to charge Eritrean regime.
this is the beginning of the end of Weyane.
To Aba Biya, No matter how tyrant the regime is we all are united against any foreign agression.
This last the end of Eritrean regime with its followers Onlfetc stand up and get rid off such fascist
What is current essue for this?
i know both countries don`t want the war, so it would be no more than a skirmish, never a full scale war
