Abraham Yayeh went on Hagerfiker Radio (June 10, 2007) to accuse what he called an Amhara plot behind the Aider School bombing during the Badme war. He elaborated what he called the hidden motive of the Amharas to instigate hate and division between Tigrayans and Eritreans.
His recent appeal, written on more than fifty pages of article in Tigrigna for the Eritreans, is to bridge the difference between them and call for the Eritreans to reject Issayas Afwerki. He tries to assure Eritreans that the sacrifices that is paid for Eritrean independence will not be in vain.
Over the course of the interview., the radio host had to interrupt Abraham a couple of times for expressing too much racist venom against Amharas.
