What does Isaias Afewerki and Kim Jong-un have in common?

You gotta respect him for defeating Ethiopia and creating a new beautiful country!

[AwRastaale]

Isaias Aferwerki is an excellent visionary leader but like the late Siad Barre it looks like his creativity, energy and drive has stalled. That's the problem with leaders who build their state or support behind strong and military image.

The boogeyman and scare tactics can only work and inspire for so long.

By 2008 Isaias should have revised new ideas and brought about reforms. Reforms do not mean one stepping aside but being adoptable and expecting disruptive events be it neighbors, wider region, technology or just the world around.

What Isaias should have done was keep certain sect of the society in military drills while diversifying in other areas and also making elite unit in businesses, innovation and technology knowhow.

Mr. Isaias put the entire Eritrea staring at an empty military post entertaining them "Ethiopia will invade". They out grew those wonderful fear tactics and the Sawa camp.

I wish Ato Isaias combined his vision with an open/capitalist economic policy.

Still it's not too late. The Eritreans will surprise you. Expect surprises.

No doubt Eritrea needs a new unity leader to replace the Lion of Nakfa but they must not make the same mistake as Somali Republic and destroy Eritrea over ailing Isaias. The time to lead will come its own but the "leader" has to be ready.

Change is necessary. Change must be embraced and accepted.

You can learn one day from Isaias what you would have learned from Stanford over six intensive months. But the Lion of Nakfa lacks trust.

Crazy dictator who attacked all his neighbours but he transformed eritea into a country with good infrasructre and a food basket

Ethnically, it's better than ethiopia....all ethnicities have equal rights...there is no official language...developemental projets r distributed equally in all regions but hes anti-arabism, Islamism...

Has strong ties with both Israel and Iran!

Gets media cover from the iranian presstv

Got military aid from Iran in exchange of her training houths inside secret eritrean camps

Now hes taking advantage of the djibouti-UAE diplomatic crisis so he has been attracting the gulf countries.

That's real politics.

[sahal80]

What real politics kkkk these saudi-eritrean contacts have failed due to him not recognizing the yemeni legitimacy and still receiving the houthis

This dictator was just after eliminating djibouti....he doent like djibouti bc he offered asab port to the US who has gone for djibouti(africom base) now he wants Eritrea to be the focus in Yemen war instead of djibouti

But he got the UAE theives

Saudi has gone for djibouti in a larger cooperation with ethiopia and somalia to pressure on egypt regarding russia...and Eritrea!

Thanks to him, 2,000 Eritreans flee and make the dangerous TAHRIIB journeys to Europe daily.
