You can't judge a book by its cover, but...

you can judge a leadership's vision by the national anthem it adopts. Following the national anthem of Eritrea and the national anthem of TPLF. Read and judge.

Eritrea's national anthem (although officialy adopted in 1993, it was in use as EPLF national anthem way before Eritrea's independence):
Eritrea, Eritrea, Eritrea,
Her arch-enemy destroyed wailingly,
her sacrifices vindicated by freedom.

She holds firmly her goal,
her name has come to mean perseverance and steadfastness,
Eritrea, the pride of the oppressed people,
is a testament that truth prevails.

Eritrea, Eritrea,
has taken her rightful place in the world.

The supreme dedication that brought her liberation,
will serve to rebuild her and make her green,
We shall honour her with progress,
It is our legacy to embellish her.

Eritrea, Eritrea,
has taken her rightful place in the world.


TPLF national anthem as adopted in 1992
March Forward, Dear Mother Ethiopia (ohh yeah? one never sell his own mother)
Respect for citizenship is strong in our Ethiopia; (respect my behind! why r u deporting Amharas from the other side of the country to another side?)
National pride is seen, shining from one side to another. (what national pride? u mean Killil pride?)
For peace, for justice, for the freedom of peoples, (right lol)
In equality and in love we stand united. (how about the golden race? is it equal to the others?)
Firm of foundation, we do not dismiss humanness; (and why are u dehumanize Ethiopian girls in arab countries and elsewhere?)
We are people who live through work. (lol u guys r funny. why is then 80% of ur national budget comprised of aid?)
Wonderful is the stage of tradition, mistress of a proud heritage,( i though Axum was meaningless to the Anuak people, even to the Tembien people)
Natural grace, mother of a valorous people.
We shall protect you - we have a duty;
Our Ethiopia, live! And let us be proud of you! (i would suggest a little alteration: "let us robe u")

:lol: :lol:

I'm not certain why you need to affirm the obvious. 50% inflation, ethnic deportation, selling lands, women, children... to anybody with a spare change, conflicts and wars at every direction.....Well, perhaps your definition of backwardness does vary from others. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here day and night trying to defend the impossible.

:lol: :lol: , you are simply incridable to have caught that. what else one can expect from a Chigaram. There was a time that a begger asked me for spare changes while i was washing my car. i gave him whatever i could find in my pocket and in my car. A minute later, he sent another begger which i said to the new begger that i gave everything i have and sorry. two minutes later, while i was cleaning the front of my car, i found the two beggers ready to snatch and run whatever they find on the open tailgate of my car. i had to chase them and notify the petrol station about these people and safely went my way.

Weyanne is a thief and begger just like those young beggers i encountered. they will never stop begging, looting and theifing. if you give them some, they want more and yet continue to conspire and robe you. i wonder what will happen to them when they lose all the resources they run in ethiopia now. unless they eradicate lying, stealing etc which are societies chronic ills, they have a very dim future. even those who are in the west (eden, belayneh, abel-qomal etc) don't really realize the extent of their trashy nature and behaviour. you are lucky to find one honest weyanne admitting all this shortcomings.
