Is Eritrea ready to reform?

Africa is governed by the worst type of political regimes.Hiding behind the word "democracy". Fat well dressed people in countries where children are starving is behond belief.Send condoms as well as food.

Isaias must step down! Nothing will change as long the Dictators stays in power.

I hundred percent believe that the Eritrean Goverment will not change his policy till the President stays on power , becouse the guy is creasy and the country is one Man leader ship. how ever he is trying to get some tactical changes supporting the terorism undercover insteade making it openly.

Isaias can NEVER change. It has gone way past reform. It is a gang style administration with no respect to Law, international community nor to its people. It cant bend it can only break at this point.

Eritrea:

-UN sanctioned rogue State,
-Invaded territories of all neighbors since independence
-Financier of many terrorist groups in region, including Al-Shabab Somali terrorists who kill Ugandan peacekeeping troops in Somalia and blow-up civilians in Uganda.

Yet Eritrea gets red carpet in Uganda?

Shame!

I do not think eritrea is ready to change. to me I wold like my country not to dill with eritrea this time.

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE!!!!!

Eritrea's leader is living in a dream world. He harms others and when confronted, he denies all allegations. He wants peace so he can have access to harm others. He is undemocratic and oppressive to his own people. He has invaded all his neighboring countries but denies his actions. He is trouble and does not know it or he thinks others are dumb to realize it.

Last time the Eritrean President came to Djibouti was by road. He had a very warm welcome. After weeks his army followed the same road and invaded Northern Djibouti.

It is not ready reform , but I think the president of Eritrea is trying to buy more time .

Uganda and Eritrea are two strange bed fellows. I do not know who will burge and give way. Its a case of "wait and see".

I think it is to early for Eritrea to play a positive part in the regional issues. The Eritrea authorities need to start urgent reform within the country even before they think they can have a role in the regional issues.

You cann't teach an old dog a new trick. Too late too little for Isaias to reform. Even if we give it the benefit of the doubt, shouldn't charity begins at home? Change inside should precede change outside Mr. Isaias...

Eritrea deserve a chance. Many countries have contributed to the mess in Somalia, more so those pointing fingers to Eritrea. Ethiopia have contributed more to the chaos in somalia and the rise of radicals in Somalia. By taking a moral ground and wanting to impose puppet and incompetent government in somalia it has only dragged the anarchy and allowed the rise of extremist

i know a bunch of people from Eritrea...
they fled abroad due to the cleptocracy that rule in theirs country
government never permit any free enterprise, opportunity or business...
servicemen for military conscription are like prisoners for an unforeseeable lapse of years...
there are no rights for common people in that country

when are we going to be liberated from our liberators; its a typical african history;as long as Afeworki is there..i don't think Eritirea will change at all; all these african leaders who were fighting old and colonial powers, think they have every execuse to dictate any thing in their world...that includes Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia, Mughabe et al.I guess they were fighting for themselves,shame!

I just want to say one thing, how do all these people who are saying Eritrea is training and supporting al-shabab know if that's the real truth?

We need to rehabilitate Eritrea in order to ease the suffering of it's citizens. While their President has no tbehaved well, we should also remember that there are some unresolved issues in Eritrea's favour. Ethiopia continues to ignore their border settlement, yet the international community does not take any action.

I believe that a young country like Eritrea's only hope to succeed or even to survive in this hard competitive cruel and corrupt world is to have a very strong leadership which even can be a dictator as long as its goal is to benefit the country and its people on the long term.

...... That being the responsibilty of the leader and its government, I can understand that fellow citizens might have other objectives such as looking out for them selves on a short term(their generation).
