    Congrats Nguse for your victory and thank you for lifting the name Eritrea in athletics and hopefully many more victories to follow. The dictator (ISAYAS) made our Eritrea trophy winner and known in the world for modern day slavery, largest jail in the planet, organ harvesting, tyranny, biggest number of immigrants and much more and on the other hand you brought a TRUE victory which lifts up the moral of our athletes all over the world.a
