The filthy blood suckers of the Sinai are soaking relatives of their ‘ Eritrean hostages’ to the tune of millions. Yet the Eritrean stooges are worried about the waters of the Nile to which their contribution is minimal. The Mereb is a ‘ seasonal river’ and hardly drops a bucket to the mighty Nile. The seemingly patriotic and ultra nationalists haven’t said a ‘ word’ about the ‘ organ trade’ and ‘ extortion’ by the Bedewi tribe in the Sinai Peninsula. I wouldn’t be surprised if this ‘ trade’ is going on with the ‘ blessing’ of the corrupt nomenclatura in Cairo. I am sure some of the ‘ blood money’ trickles to those in Asmara whose patriotism is eclipsed by their ‘ greed’ and mafiosi tendency they learnt from their capos and bosses in Palermo, Napoli and Calabrese while they flipped pizza or manhandled the kitchens.
This is one of the bastrd belive of the ancient egiptians.But not the moderns.We eritreans & ethiopians were one.are one &one 4 future.
It’s important to stop the trafficking of refugees, but unfortunately Morsi probably does not care. Give him a photo-op to with Eritrean gov officials for the egyptian public opinion. I support the PFDJ social agenda and I know they are not naive when it comes to the politics of the middle east. Brothers need not worry.
dog barks while camel proceeds. z key is in z heart of Ethiopians & nowhere else
since ERitrea is a Habesha state, i don’t think the Eritrean people will take side with the filth Egypian Arabs!! long live Eritrea and Ethiopia.. the sister nations of one race!
This is very interesting , The Nile politics goes beyond water issue to political issue . Eritrea will not benefit if Egypt alone uses the Nile waters . The so called ‘Historic rights’ is debatable who has this historic right alone.
The new Egyptian government is still trying to play the old game which was led by unfair referees but the environment is not the same necessitating him to be a fair player and stop such a silly action of talking about historic rights.
