This audio message is sent by Eritrea’s former Minister of Finance, Berhane Abrehe, which he recorded from Asmara, Eritrea on September 1, 2018.
The video is hosted by Eritreanliberty.com, which is also making his two-volume books available for sale.
The message is directed to the Eritrean people and Mr. Isaias Afwerki. The message to Eritreans is one that emboldens them to demand their rights and to keep fighting to bring about change. The message to Isaias Afwerki is two-fold: (a) convene a meeting of the National Assembly by calling the living parliamentarians from wherever they may be: scattered in Eritrea, exiled or imprisoned. Just know we are going to discuss your performance and you are going to lose the chairmanship of the party and the presidency; (b) debate the former Minister of Finance on issues of governance or whatever other issues Isaias may choose.
ED hopes to present an English translation of the message soon. To purchase the books, please visit here.
Selam Ismail AA, it is indeed very strange that Eritrea cannot afford to grant a two-meters burial ground at its patriots cemetry in the nation s capital, at least for the two of our patriots, Hamid Idris Awate and Ibrahim Sultan. Instead, they have been busy errecting a statue for someone from other continent, whose connection to Eritrea is even disputable. As you described it aptly, the despot that is ruling our country is such a coward that he is even afraid of the dead. I hope and pray that our new hero, minister Birhane Abrehe, survives to see an Eritrea free of its malady represented by the treacherous man.
