SOMALILAND SURPASSES ERITREA in ECONOMIC PROGRESS

[PasserBy]

Internationally unrecognized Somaliland has surpassed the internationally recognized Eritrea in economic and political progress. Eritrea is in free fall. The question is, why is Silanyo flirting with a known terrorists incubator and terrible dictator, Isaias Afwerki?

Xaji_Xunjuf,

 

Thanks to Riyale, Somaliland kept itself away from Eritrea even though the regime in Asmara was lobbying hard to have a foothold in Hargeisa. Riyale not only said no to dictator Isaias, he maintained Somaliland's stability, increased its prosperity and reaffirmed its sovereignty over all of what he considered Somaliland proper. But since Silanyo came to power, Somaliland's invincibility was shattered by one major breach. God only knows what is to follow.

Dude I don’t like when people just speculate things out of the air you don’t have any evidence for your accusations The current administration has no links ties with Ertirea and it will remain like this

AfricaOwn,

 

Who the heck are you to tell someone else not respond to my comment? Speak for yourself, bro.

[Thierry Henry]

Is this thread serious? :confused:

[PasserBy]

Of course it is serious. Your Eritrean friends may not agree with it, but it is the reality on the ground.

What is that? Looks like a hotel that has been transferred into a University.

 

Here is a High School in Eritrea that looks better than that so called University

 

 

 

New Eritrean College Inaugurated in Adi Keyeh

 

 

 

The College of Arts and Social Sciences, located in the town of Adi Keyeh (Keih), was inaugurated on June 11, 2010. Costing 255 million Nakfa to build (17 million USD), the infrastructure of this school met international standards and was the first of its kind state media had reported

 

The college was designed to be self-sufficient and with longevity in mind. To achieve this, they built a well connected sewage system, a rain water reservoir that can hold 800 m3, solar powered bath systems, three generators of 440 kilo volt each, and other self-sufficient projects

 

 

Again, is this thread serious?

[Timur]

What's the source? Your local mafrish?

 

Eritrea is doing well, and they don't take handouts from anyone. I don't even know how you can compare a respected country like Eritrea to a pseudo-state whose only consumer economy is khat.

Our Xabashi friend is worried about Ethiopia losing its influence in Somaliland and Somalia in general.

 

The poverty is catching up with them, they will no longer control Somalia in the near future. Swallow that, Passerby!

[Faafan]

Eritrea May Become Failed State

 

Selah Hennessy | London 22 September 2010

 

 

Eritrea is at risk of becoming a failed state, according to a new report from the International Crisis Group. It says internal repression coupled with international military conflict means the country is becoming increasingly isolated in the Horn of Africa.

 

The report says during the past decade Eritrea's government has clamped down on dissent on a colossal scale.

 

It says Eritrea's jails are full of political prisoners, journalists, and religious dissidents who are regularly targeted by the state.

 

 

ICG's E.J. Hogendoorn says Eritrea has also undergone major military mobilization – a policy that has hit the country's youth hardest.

 

"It has mobilized almost all of Eritrea's youth into so-called national service," Hogendoorn said. "So essentially, if you are a young Eritrean you are indefinitely serving in the military or in national service."

 

 

The report says Eritrea has fought either directly or indirectly with Ethiopia, Yemen, Djibouti, and Sudan and been involved in conflicts in eastern Sudan, Somalia, and Darfur.

 

An estimated 80,000 people were killed in a two-year border dispute with Ethiopia that ended in 2000.

 

Hogendoorn says Eritrea's militarization affects the entire region.

 

"The Horn of Africa is very much an interlocked region and what people need to recognize is that if they want to promote peace and stability in other places, such as Somalia, what needs to be recognized is that regional players play a big role in that instability and as such those regional problems need to be addressed holistically," Hogendoorn added.

 

Hogendoorn says the Eritrean government uses an ongoing border dispute with neighboring Ethiopia to justify repression. He says Ethiopia has not fulfilled border promises made in the Algiers Agreements, a 2000 deal between the two countries.

 

The U.N. Security Council, he says, should urge Ethiopia to accept the border ruling.

 

"It needs to put pressure on Ethiopia to abide by these border rulings in an effort to move the process forward and to try to foster some sort of normalization of relations between Ethiopia and Eritrea," said Hogendoorn.

 

Mohamed Dalmar is a Britain-based political analyst from Somaliland. He says Eritrea is key to stability in the Horn of Africa.

 

"Eritrea is now at the center of a troubled region," Dalmar said. "And if another failed state that crumbles is added into the picture I think it will be rather disastrous."

 

Eritrea faces UN sanctions for allegedly supporting Islamist rebels in Somalia.
