Asmara University last Batch Sociology of Change & Liberation from Eritrean Dictator P3
Asmara University last Batch Sociology of Change & Liberation from Eritrean Dictator, risking our lives at the heart of Asmara!
Prof. Muse Lecturing Sociology of Change and Liberation at the University of Asmara for the 4th year students.
The University of Asmara was founded in 1950's by the Italian government, Catholic Mission and the Ethiopian Negus. It has has been closed recently by the government of Eritrea. This video is dedicated to all students who graduated from one of the oldest African university . I am appealing to the government of Eritrea for the re opening of this prestigious center of higher studies. Today the governemnt has opened many collages in different parts of the country. Eritrea is the only country in africa with out a national univeristy, but was the 1st to have one even before the independant of many African countries.
We demand your excuse for the bad audio quality, since it was filmed with difficulty and amateur camera. You can give your support by writing to the President of Eritrea and to the ministry of Education for the reopening of the university for the younger generation to come.
If you want to kill a country kill its Educational system!
Prof. Muse Tegegne
Cry My Beloved City! [PART 2]
Pictures by Bana From Asmara,
The old guerrilla and liberation movement-turned- government remains unfazed by the continuing breakdown of the built environment in Asmara and other places in Eritrea. It finds today's damage in environment immaterial in comparison to the scale of destruction it witnessed in the field. Its taste of aesthetics and preservation seems robbed by the years of war and attendant destruction. Instead of by the appeal of cityscape, the government of former liberation fighters is enamored by war-ravaged field life with its mountains and valleys. Even years after having taken control of cities and towns, it looks at city life as if it is looking at parched earth and rocks in the Sahel. The people in power in Eritrea are just stuck in their old rugged environment.

How Eritrean guerrillas aka (EPLF) Have Fought?
Eritrea became an independent state in 1993, following an internationally monitored referendum in which citizens voted overwhelmingly for independence from Ethiopia. The Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF), which led the 30-year war for independence, has controlled the country since it defeated Ethiopian armed forces in 1991; its leader, Isaias Afwerki, serves as the President. The beginning of the end for Mengistu and the Dergue is in 1987, when the Eritrean guerrillas, the EPLF, are strong enough to move south past Nakfa into the highlands of Ethiopia. In 1988 they join forces with another Marxist group fighting for regional independence, the TPLF or Tigre People's Liberation Front. In 1990, in the most crucial step of all, they capture Massawa, cutting off Ethiopia's link with the sea.

Eritrean government toughens up policy towards Ethiopians living in Eritrea June, 2000
Eritrea - Eritrean government toughens up policy towards Ethiopians living in Eritrea and places 2,000 under armed guard as border war continues, 7th June 2000
Thousands of Ethiopians living in Eritrea have been placed under armed guard in camps, in an apparent toughening of the Eritrean government stance against Ethiopians living behind enemey lines as the two year old border war shows no sign of abating.
More than 2,000 Ethiopians, mostly young men, have been rounded up and herded into a rocky valley near the Eritrean capital Asmara.A glade of eucalyptus trees is their only shelter.
The outbreak of war in May 1998 over a poorly demarcated border has seeen tens of thousands of Eritreans in Ethiopia rounded up and dumped across the border.
Eritrea's policy was more leniant: Ethiopians were offered voluntary repatriation, and while some complained of harrassment and intimidation, most chose to carry on their jobs and businesses in Eritrea.
But now, since a fresh offensive by Ethiopia last month which saw its army make sweeping battlefield gains, the Eritrean government appears to have toughened its stance against Ethiopians still living behind enemy lines.
On Monday, notices went up across Asmara, telling Ethiopians to register in their local administration office in preparation for repatriation.
Government officials say they can no longer guarantee to protect Ethiopians from angry locals and the camp at Shikete, guarded by armed soldiers, has been established for their own safety, either because they lived in a battle zone or they were at risk of reprisal attacks.
At first Awet says he doesn't want to talk, fearful he will be seen by the menacing guards brandishing sticks around the hot open air camp.
The 18-year-old goldsmith is an Ethiopian, caught on the wrong side of his country's two-year-old border war with Eritrea.
Awet is persuaded to change his mind, but not before he makes an elaborate weave around the camp trying to shake off his minders, ending up crouched behind a rock next to a stagnant water hole.
He says he was brought with many others including pregnant women from his town at night to the camp.Some of them were beaten.
Awet was born to Ethiopian parents in the Eritrean town of Mendefera, some 60 km (40 miles) from the border.
Like more than 100,000 Ethiopians living in Eritrea, his family stayed after the small Red Sea state won its independence in 1993 after a long liberation struggle.
Sharing the same names, the same language and culture, people had little concern about what nationality was stamped on their identification cards.
Awet says he would like to live in Ethiopia.
I want to go to Ethiopia because it occupies my country he says.
Mediators from the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) after a week of peace talks in Algiers have so far failed to find a solution to the destructive conflict.
Neither side gives details of its own casualties, but analysts estimate more than 100,000 soldiers have been killed in bouts of bloody trench warfare along the disputed 1,000 km (600 mile) border.
