    Before shackling their legs and packing them up in buses, the tyrant ISAYAS AFEWORKI while addressing our boys and girls said
    1- Agelglot (modern day slavery) will be reduced from endless into 15 years slavery.
    2-I know you aspire to become doctors, engineers, lawyers architects and educators but what Eritrea need at this time is brick layers and that is what you will become.
    3-Democracy,freedom and constitution is a taboo and don’t fall for it. Watch the western world (US, England, Norway, Sweden and many more) how they got in crises by implementing democracy and on the other hand watch Cuba, Venezuela, Russia, Vietnam and Zimbabwe how they are thriving by rejecting democracy.
    4- Don’t try to cross the border, you will be shot.

    I am not that smart and the worst speaker but I am your fearless leader for life. I am the LION,TIGER, DONKEY and SNAKE of Nakfa.

    Look at the picture above………………our brothers and sisters (modern day slaves) agelglot hauling one stone at a time from north to south and no body knows why. (it is an order from the tyrant).

    The tyrant and his criminal thugs try to make us believe this is the way towards self reliance but in reality the facts on the grounds of Eritrea and the result of 23 years of slavery and tyranny,it is a clear indicator of self destruction and isolation.
    On Tuesdays the students will move the stones one at a time from North to South and on Wednesday another group will come and move it back from South to North and of course one stone at a time. This has been going on for more than 20 years.

    It was POL-Pots ideology, he believed intellectuals are a treat to society and he was determined to keep the ones he didn’t kill or throw in jail, in isolated rural areas doing worthless back breaking jobs, away from education, society and technology.
    The tyrant is following the same ideology building a mediocre rods and bridges for the sake of propaganda with unskilled labor one stone at a time.
    If we had the right elected government in the country those students would be the finest engineers and architects and all our infrastructures would be built with skilled man power equipped with the finest machineries.

    ” Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, GIVE ME LIBERITY OR GIVE ME DEATH!” Patrick Henry
