Can The Mechadoll Make A Sound?

HISTORY OF NORTH EAST WE, L 'OPIUM AND AFGHANISTAN

90 percent the world's opium comes from Afghanistan, this year a kg of opium is sold by farmers to "traffickers" for over a hundred dollars, the heroine is prepared by synthetic , treating the morphine extracted from opium, and then, then it does not take much to draw the logical consequences.
The logical consequences are that the Afghan economy, the end of Soviet occupation to the present, is, in fact, supported by opium cultivation and trafficking, an activity which by itself produces more than 50 percent of national income, no need of civilian infrastructure, on technology investments, but simply of the ancient culture of the Afghan farmers.
eradicate the poppy cultivation would then secure the food for the journey to national bankruptcy and the further impoverishment of the population. Under these conditions it is evil all crop eradication program, and then, who would have the strength and authority for such an act? The Afghan government does not exist or the occupation forces? The contiguity between political and criminal power has not only established, but even constitutes the backbone that holds up what is now Afghanistan. This narco is a feudal state, controlled by the War Lords and friends of the West by the Taliban, who are in need of the absence of any form of credible institutions and civil society, because only then, can manage, pressoche'indisturbati 's billionaire businessman of drug trafficking.
The legitimate need for the survival of farmers' woes enrichment of the warlords and international mafias, the mad frenzy of racist and fundamentalist Taliban are mixed and create horribly all'infernale Afghan quagmire.
quagmire we are in that we, with our troops and, objectively, for the simple fact of being there, we gave our contribution to this devastating situation.
go away is right, but only solve our problem.
The Afghan issue, however, is much more, is a focal point and also emblematic of almost all the disasters that criticita'ei globalized neoliberalism, under the banner of the United States, is developing everywhere.
Examples? Here they are!
The overlap between legal and criminal economy, the elimination of the very idea of \u200b\u200bscientific societies, the emptying of the powers of all international organizations, the de facto exclusion of politics, replaced by the militarization of every type of social relationship, the 'U.S. unilateralism, the use of instrumental to the clash of civilizations as a potential trigger of any desired and caused crisis, the desire to restore a kind of feudal system (division of territory between "masters", local), as a form of optimal management and control of "rogue states" ( Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq ... ...)
once again on the political involvement of the international community: this is the challenge.
Designing courses provided and shared, starting from the real issues and proposing options civilians, military and social consequences.
E 'patient work, maybe not spectacular, nor in the immediate production of consensus. These
considerations lead me to look with favor the proposal made by PRC and others, as part of the radical left and the Rose in the Fist, to buy the opium crop in Afghanistan and use it to increase the production of morphine for therapeutic use.
is not madness, but rather the most realistic and effective solutions.
deprive the peasants from the yoke of criminals, warlords and the Taliban itself, call into question the socio-economic structure that governs the country. The internal equilibrium resulting from military occupation, would be mined at the base.
policy would again exercise its role. The problem would be
the cost of implementation and commitment of the highest possible number of Western countries in its financing: financing that would, in fact, a political alternative to the military and potentially fraught with more options and other civilians.
It is estimated that Afghan farmers earn about $ 700 million each year from the opium trade, the figure, however, rises if we add the smugglers, corrupt officials, in short all the armature. These would, first of all to set a price that does not encourage farmers to turn to smugglers and at the same time ensure the purchase of their harvest to redistribute the income generated from the population, albeit miserably, still survive on the benefits of trade of opium. Otherwise the risk is to be completely sucked into the war debate, to accept the agenda set by others. Be crushed by the dilemma of the exit strategy would be a minimalist and provincial results that would move an inch forward, the solution of the Afghan quagmire. If progressive governments, movements, international organizations will not have the ability and intelligence to offer more practical solutions, will have to adapt again to discuss the decisions already taken by the usual suspects.

NOTES ON THE HORN OF AFRICA: CAUSES AND DEVELOPMENT OF A CRISIS EMBLEMATIC

September 11 has passed, with all his pompous rhetoric about fighting terrorism.
What can I say? How 'state of terror or destruction of the developers of these allegations?
In Afghanistan and Iraq is not doing well. In Iran and North Korea is pushing through one day discussing how to deal with them and another on how to shave the ground, when in doubt, in the meantime, let's keep it on the blacklist, including rogue states. It 's a list to update and then send the U.S., I presume, by fax to the various foreign ministries of the globe, to adjust their foreign policy.
Well, the news is that this list could be extended by one at any moment
The new entries should be Eritrea, you have got it right!
The news is official, the State Department announcement
The old John Wayne is not one that speaks to take the air of the tonsils, anything but!
They are, dealing with Africa and in the case of what happens in the Horn of Africa: it is true, but the surface is rough and know the map well and know very well that war is the shortest distance that there is between their interest and the closest to their bases. Simple, right!! The egg
colombo Americanism in the end it's all here: the horizon line.
To them it is a stretch away, a compass, a reference, rather it is a line between them attraversa.Sono empirical, pragmatic: "I see a thing, so I'm already seeing," "I have a goal? Will be the last stage of what I'm doing "But why
on their agenda, their horizon came the tiny Eritrea (4 million inhabitants and less than 120,000 km square)?
In fact their interest is in the vast area of \u200b\u200bEast Africa that we could expand in this case to the Sudan.
Eritrea is independent of 93 and, despite several attempts to put bases along its coasts, or to recover old military positions that the U.S. already had here at the time commanded the Negus, it was no agreement on the matter. Inaccessible
still remained the longest and most attractive coast of Somalia, formidable wedge inserted between the ocean and the Red Sea
Sudan, novel oil power, is a sort of detached province of China, where the scent of fundamentalism
This leaves only Ethiopia has always provided one of the most talented African armies, a large country with more than 70 million people.
the benevolent attention of the U.S. obviously have turned to Ethiopia and, indirectly, those of the large private investors, especially international organizations, those tied to the name in Washington Consensus, ie IMF, World Bank.
Ethiopia is also the country "Christian excellence" in the area, both for history and for the numerical strength of the Coptic Christians, although there are a Muslim presence of at least 40 percent.
East Africa, just look at the map, is a sort of natural bridge to the Arab world, the Middle East and India itself.
This is a feature of cultural and ethnic diversity, before being a geographic data, for example, the Somali language, contains many terms that refer to items in India. There 's a given geopolitical that binds these lands to the hotspots of the present and future
All matters which are the explosions of detonators of the twenty-first century, are there 'there, for the consumption of those who want action. The energy issue
(Sudan and Somalia in perspective), political Islam, the clash with China.
North Americans already have their policeman in the area: Ethiopia
This is the frame: there in 'the picture, the facts, there are the Africans in the flesh. There are
the convulsion and the torment of 4 or 5 countries.
Of these issues, this blog will be documented in detail and, for now, I will only brief, just to give a rough idea that, possibly, circumscribes the essence of the issues at stake. Starting from the Sudan
. This huge country, the largest in Africa, recently discovered a treasure in her womb: oil.
Its GDP has shot up, the living conditions of Sudanese less. Khartoum is preparing to become a modern metropolis and business center.
China is an ally of iron, also true guardian of the Sudanese at the UN.
Sudan is the true beachhead of Chinese penetration in Africa, one of the most important strategic and political figures of recent years
Power is Muslim, the ethnic composition is articulated only instrumentally can be traced back to an unreal dualism Christians / Muslims.
south of the country is inhabited by mostly animist, ethnically similar to the peoples of central Africa and very marginally Christian.
for years have been defended not only forced dall'islamizzazione made by the central power, but above all by the total exclusion from power and the direct management of resources. In part, in 2005, this issue is resolved, for large regions of the South, following negotiations with the guerrillas, now the present government, even the Eastern Front in Sudan has been sedated, due to the Eritrean mediation. There remains the serious situation in Darfur, a region that claims autonomy from Khartoum. Messages (concerned) that come to us are: a clash of religion, Christians, Muslims, we need a "humanitarian intervention" to resolve the crisis. I would not be wrong, but I feel that this rhyme we heard many times. A formidable Trojan horse, to intervene anywhere, place and set their own rules, and then, while we're at, we do well to dislodge the Chinese. Strike one: the Islamic way, by the terrorists, by the Chinese and us well! The solution to an African problem that can not be given by the Africans with the tools and equip it as appropriate. It 'a thesis acceptable to the Bush doctrine. America is where are my interests, America is where are my enemies, America is everywhere.
The coexistence and distribution of power among different ethnic groups, in some cases, cross-countries themselves, is the primary source of all the contradictions of Africa, especially in the area. The West has a responsibility: as in Sudan, as elsewhere, has arbitrarily established in colonial and post colonial hierarchy of power between different peoples, subservient to its interests in Sudan, for example, the British have in fact given the power elites that were the expression of the north, and this situation has remained so far: it seems to me quite inappropriate to draw the British to resolve it. The
Eritrea, a young country, independent since 1993, claiming, in perfect continuity with its thirty-year liberation struggle, a gradual growth, self-sufficient, drawing on the material and cultural heritage of the peoples of Eritrea by, a unique case in Africa, ethnic diversity, a driving force and unity.
Eritrea has reset its system of international relations, on this principle. He repeatedly refused the 'help' the U.S. has discussed again on new bases, the relationship with so-called donors, have reduced the presence of NGOs, linking their activities to the economic and financial program national.
years living in a state of war, a border dispute with Ethiopia: the dispute, in fact, has already been terminated following international arbitration without appeal for Eritrea: UN, but it does not to give effect to this ruling, have been forced to deal with this tiny, mostly for his safety. The latest news about Eritrea, is its application to join the club of rogue states, the list drawn up by North Americans.
Ms. Frazier, who is responsible for African affairs under the State Department, found repeated behavior by Eritrea, which is extremely dangerous to U.S. security and the Western democracies (alas, is not a joke). What would these outrages to freedom and democracy? Basically, having hosted a conference of all the forces of the Somali opposition, including Islamic components, which, as a first step, to start rebuilding the Somali nation, demand the immediate withdrawal of Ethiopian occupation troops.
Having considered the Islamic courts as terrorists linked to al Qaeda, it implicitly colluding with terrorists believe the Eritreans
Gia ', Somalia. The spark that could set off the prairie
Muslim country, inhabited by nomadic, engaged mainly pastoralists, a common language and culture broadly divided into clans, in large groups of people. A sort of social structure
genealogy. The Somali are Sunni Islam, tolerant tradition. In Africa, Islam, mixing in animistic rituals, he created a religion that has no doctrinal weight that has elsewhere, rather than a purpose to be achieved, it was a system of rules and relationships.
Quest'Islam is considered, by its very nature, almost impervious to the siren fundamentalist
something happened in Somalia is explained by the conditions mentioned above.
The Islamic courts, which are sets of courts ruled that conflicts and disputes, as well as being well civilian component of the regulation and distribution, have become, over time, political speech and used the religious element unifying the country to combat the chalking. The
Somalia after the fall of Siad Barre, who somehow had managed to create a national feeling, has effectively ceased to exist as a state. Crumbled in gangs, into fiefdoms, controlled by the Warlords is finished at the mercy of looting and violence.
Somalia has become the center of illicit trafficking and of all kinds: from arms trafficking, the discharge of toxic and harmful to the cultivation and sale of drugs.
This situation lasted for at least fifteen years: any attempt to restore the rule of law proved to be very weak. The U.S. has deliberately
bankrolled the warlords in an anti Islamic, looking at every way to avoid the formation of a separate state.
The victory of the courts, supported by the people of Mogadishu, not because of ideological affinity but to a desire for peace and normality, has thrown into confusion the U.S. and their local police, the Ethiopian rulers.
After a few months, the country was invaded and occupied by Ethiopia, repeatedly bombed by U.S. planes.
The pretext is the usual and as usual, without the burden of proof: the presence of Al Qaeda terrorists.
Among Western governments, only Italy, expressed condemnation of the American attack.
The surgery went well even to Ethiopia, and because it has strengthened its alliance with the U.S. and for the fear that the rebirth of Somalia, riaccendesse tensions with minority Somalis in Ethiopia, namely the Ogaden. The situation now is chaotic, with an authority that rests on the support outside the military.
The Somali Diaspora, after a short period, which is thought to return again discouraged.
The political agenda of Somalia is now attributable to Mrs. Frazier, the U.S. State Department.
There are attempts to solve the crisis: there is a way in Africa, which must necessarily pass for the participants of the conference in Asmara Ethiopian-American and a way that provides for the creation of a puppet state, province of Ethiopia and platform for military action "against terrorism"
The Italian government indicates a worthwhile activity in Somali affairs, thanks to the Vice Minister Sentinelli but that Italy should be in appropriate fora, condemned the interference converted from cooperation and support: interference that has become a beacon of European Union foreign policy and U.S.
will have the strength? We doubt
In this scenario, the power, the subject is strong Ethiopia.
The subject has a strong strength and a weakness reflected real
Ethiopia is a giant, fragmented into many ethnic groups who have always lived together, accepting the domination of one of them, the Amhara Abyssinian Empire
Historically, fathers and the Coptic religion.
Now, after many vicissitudes, that there is no need to explain now, the power is finite, in practice, Tigre '
This is a minority that has its border region with Eritrea and with which has much in common, both linguistically and culturally.
has played an important role in the ancient history of Ethiopia but remains less than 5 or 6 percent of the Ethiopian population.
A minority in a few years he has occupied all areas of the state, has the opposition against using fraud and targeted arrests, controls the flow billionaires coming from financial institutions and the U.S. itself.
The force is proportional to the size of Ethiopia's U.S. interests on site: proxy invading Somalia, held in check Eritrea, is the bastion of Christianity (with almost half the Muslim population) in the Moslem area.
How long? I do not know. As long as the ethnic puzzle will hold? As long as the external support will compensate for the indifference to domestic conditions? Surely in this
comparing the two Africas: one that is the projection of structural adjustment programs, donations, constraints imposed by international financial institutions, openness to foreign capital unlimited, of the ruling classes on these policies shaped by endogenous, the pervasive presence of the charity and philanthropy, which occupies the desert created by the destruction of public budgets, and the other Africa, however, that between light and shadow, is at the center of their political agenda, national sovereignty, in this continent, often coincides with the new construction or the invention of the nation, by enshrining the principle that international relations are chosen internal policy and taxation that determine the same internal policy.
The turmoil in the Horn of Africa reflect and above all this clash
In this piece of the continent is home to over 120 million people and reduce their dramatic events, just a clash between Christians and Muslims, including terrorists and anti-terrorists, between moderates and fundamentalists, merely means to apply western categories facts and actions that have, however, their peculiarities and specificity. It 'just another tax and violent interference in African history, even worse, is the very negation of this continent is able to make history and develop its conceptual categories.

IMMIGRANTS AND SAFETY: REALISM AND THE RULE OF LAW

There is much talk about immigration, crime and safety: The three issues are obviously related, in the Vulgate media.
When I think of the aliens, to those who look in my city, I like the feeling of living in another country and not in this devastated, according to all the media, non-invasion criminal aliens.
Here in San dona'sono approximately three thousand, a population of almost 40 000 people: many? Few? I can not tell. I just know that when I think of them in my mind that perhaps three groups, but I'm not sure are the three most numerous: Bangladesh, Senegal and Ukraine.
Personally I am glad that there is: are hardworking, fair, and I have the distinct impression that if I'm here is because they are indispensable our economies and our families. I see them on the street and at that moment, I understand what it means in practice, cultural diversity, I can even give meaning to the word culture.
The first thing I notice, and 'that they (especially Senegal and Bangladesh) walk, we, instead, "let's go" from one place to another. From their movements it is obvious that the clock for them is just one way to measure time; behavior, the distinction between men and women is clear, for women, at times, and subjection, but is also often a distinction. I do not know that they are engaged in criminal activity, indeed, are often victims of some crime (wage Black, prohibition of unionisation, violation of safety rules), well accepted and justified by our model of development. The Ukrainian, shy and always in groups, I am surprised by their mean age, quite tall. I saw women of 60 years, arrived in Italy recently and I wonder how it is possible to emigrate 60 years. The Senegalese and Bangladeshi are young and I feel, I know someone who is not here to hang out but who have very specific plans for themselves and their families who have the intention to reunite to itself, at least the inner circle their families, therefore, conclude that, certainly have the belief that this will be the future of their country, their attempt to emancipate themselves from poverty and exclusion.
I do not even seem like "commands Sior Paron", and would have a tendency to unionization, however, show great attention to their rights.
So I do not seem to parasites or criminals or accustomed to attivita'fastidiose and harassment.
I admit it: I have a predisposition "gene" in not seeing the enemy in foreign usurper, so I could also be affected by this, in my evaluations. What
see the papers there, I do not doubt it, but there is also much that they obviously do not see or perhaps do not consider it news.
Wire immigration lawlessness and crime has become almost an axiom, a real common sense.
E 'perceptions of mass and almost, it would be absurd to ridicule, or regard it with disdain as a unique media effect.
The widespread perception of a sensation is a "reality" to respect and to be reckoned with.
Each assessment and concrete proposal should be able to intervene immediately and incisively on this fact, however, can not be considered truthful or excessive.

some evaluation.
Official figures say that the particularly brutal killings and acts have not risen indeed, would be slightly lower than in the past. Murders in Italy, have, however, a particular characteristic: their prevalence in a matrix-family home.
It 's a worrying fact: you kill with family, relatives or friends.
Some of these murders are characterized by fierce brutality and geographically, are located mainly in the north: the organized crime in the south but is the leading cause of violent deaths.
There 's a widespread increase in crime or microcriminalita'anche if not the size that you would expect from the media prominence. There 's an increase in burglaries of homes and drug dealing and, in this kind of crimes, there is undoubtedly a percentage considerable amount of foreign non-regular, so-called illegal immigrants: the share of foreign regular and sentenced to prison, however, is similar to that of the Italians.
a given object is, therefore, 'that a regular immigrant is not usually very dangerous, not more than an average Italian: regular foreigners in Italy are little more than three million, and nearly all are settled in hiding (in the over a decade). The political fact is highly significant: the regularization of immigrant acceptance by a system of rules, which provides rights and imposes duties è.di per se, an antidote to crime. A person who works, who is seeking reunification of the rest of his family, who send their children to school, going on a mortgage to buy a house, has a life plan, not a criminal purpose. The link-hiding
crime 'must be tackled without demagogy, psychological terror, exploitation and xenophobic instincts: affrontatato politically far-sighted.
It 'obvious that if it is a human condition and equipment (underground), a crime, inevitably those who are in total this absence of rules, beyond the possibility of returning to a legal framework, will be at the mercy of 'predatory and aggressive attitudes towards the environment. Those who
propose drastic solutions and end-users, such as forced mass expulsion, beat them all in jail, shot him as they approach the coast, they know to expect things technically impossible and legally unacceptable in a state of law are demagoguery, ride the tiger capitalize politically all the stomach-ache and the anger that led to art. I dare say that all have an interest to remain so, always about to explode. The fear induced by a living to many. The'industria security is flourishing more than ever, security doors, cameras, security systems, private security, etc. etc.. How many
political careers were built on the issue of security, illegal, non-EU citizens?
These considerations, however, is not meant to circumvent the issue, much less to draw attention to other aspects, the main subject. The report
clandestine micro-'/ crime there is in numbers, in the facts.
would be a bit 'absurd to deny it.
The way I see it, are two sides to be influenced
One is political and the other is the judicial
Regarding the first point, you should take steps to ensure the existence of a number of conditions "virtuous" to always allow the adjustment for those from Italy "sans papiers", thereby overcoming the logic of amnesties and emergencies, facilitate family reunification, even as a form of amnesty for those who have demonstrated their relatives in our area, go from the jus sanguinis jus soli, as regards the system of transmission of citizenship at birth (Italy is one of the last Western countries that link the attribution of nationality at birth, the simple and pure genealogical affiliation, as elsewhere in France and the USA, acquires the citizenship of the place where born)
These measures, together with others, would make the large population of irregular migrants, not a multitude of misfits without part of its art, who lives in expectation of a messianic act magnanimous and healing, but rather a group of people that have incentives and incentives to have a socially acceptable conduct as rewarding.
In terms of judicial investigation and, in my opinion, there is an incredible delay, knowledge of criminality to non-indigenous working in Italy.
You can go back to the years of mala del Brenta to find the first incursions of organized gangs from the Balkans: the same band Manor allied himself with the crime of Matrix Balkans, both for supplies of arms and to launder money.
The civil war in former Yugoslavia, poured on the market of the crime a huge quantity of weapons of every type and even "professionals" ready to capitalize on the experiences and skills acquired in the war. The Balkan wars have produced not only the disintegration of peoples and territories, humanitarian devastation, but also economic collapse, organized mafias that have been able to profit from the wide open spaces that allow an economy of war and devastating implosion of the system.
They filled the arsenals of our crime, have enslaved and deported on the streets of our cities, thousands and thousands of young women, continue to feed the market for prostitution, have managed and controlled migration flows from those countries to the West.
Mafias Kosovar, Albanian, Croatian, Turkish, have in fact acted as a true immigration office.
E 'unthinkable and naive to believe that these acts of common crime, are impromptu gestures, perhaps the result of a propensity for barbarism of some ethnic groups. These offenders who act in an organized manner, are articulations of wider bands, clearly array mafia that recruit mainly upstream, ie countries of origin.
Despite this, even today, the business 'investigation is fragmented, episodic: there is' a huge waste of investigative resources and energy, simply to capture the last link in the chain, the one who pulled the trigger.
Why do not yet recognize the organized nature of these crimes? Why is there 'any form of coordination between prosecutors who investigate these heinous acts? Should we not have even a sort of proxy that takes care of the various mafias operating in Italy and abroad of their links here?
activity investigation coordinated, effective, discreet, with appropriate regulatory and financial resources, international contacts, would still certainly within a reasonable time to have a clear picture of the situation, a capacity for action targeted and effective, may resize the criminal phenomenon linked to the presence of illegal immigrants, in physiological terms. The use
spectacular police or the use of individual measures, such as sterile striking, only has a propaganda value. The effect of these popular and populist measures in the coupon that is only periodically off those who have invested in the title, "security-immigration-crime '."
E 'exemplary in this regard, the issue of Romania.
Many of the unpleasant facts of that period involving Romanian nationals, among other things no longer be considered non-EU. In recent years, the community Romania has become the most numerous among those in Italy. It is absolutely not the natural order of things that the increase of the presence of a community is, almost arithmetic projection, the surge of theft and violations of the law of any kind, related to their subject of that particular group. It 'obvious that there is' something important to understand, something that obviously escapes again, and perhaps not even worthy of proper attention.
Realism and rule of law are and remain the benchmarks

Eritrea: Nationalism and nation building

Although Eritrea, in its present boundaries, was adopted by Italian colonialism, it is important to remember that the history of his people did not start with the Italian colonization. The Eritrean people had its own history and civilization, its laws and administrative systems prior to colonialism. He had his own political activities, economic, social and cultural rights.
Successive colonial rulers over the years have influenced the life of Eritrea and administrative systems, but they have not been destroyed. The settlers have left traces of their heritage while at the same time, the Eritrean tradition, although suffer changes and modifications, has retained the basic characteristics, which have been transmitted through generations. So to fully understand the current situation and the program for the future of our country, it is essential to understand the dynamics within Eritrean society, as well as the legacies of the various colonizers.
The Italian colonialism lasted fifty years. Has not completely changed the Eritrean society, its influence was not uniformly distributed. But it can not be denied his lasting impact on the history of Eritrea. The Italian colonialism, like all European colonialists, settled by force the borders of Eritrea, by subjecting all the people to manage within these boundaries, has opened a new chapter in the history of Eritrea. Using the skills
Italian, but relying mainly on human and material resources of Eritrea, Italian colonialism had built cities and ports, highways and railways, modern factories and farms. He introduced conscription. In addition, he created the conditions for which the Eritreans from all corners of the country were put in a position to move and know each other, thus creating even common experiences. The limit of the colonial can vary from one place to another (some may be not been touched), but the increase of the interaction between Eritreans, combined with their reaction with increasing Italian oppression and racism, have laid the seeds Eritrean national consciousness.
The establishment of the first modern political association Eritrea, Mahber Fikri Hager (love of his country), the conclusion of the Italian colonial era and the arrival of the British, is a clear testimony of the national consciousness. The British Military Management in Eritrea was temporary and short-lived, leaving a legacy limited. In any case, the BMA increase opportunities for study and permitted political activities and freedom of expression, according to the tactic of "divide and rule", it strove to create divisions among the people of Eritrea.
laid the foundation for the plan come true Ethiopian-American refusal of the Eritrean people's right to self-determination. The British administration also destroyed several businesses and many Eritrean economic infrastructure. During British rule, the nascent Eritrean nationalist movement could not he fight the conspiracy hatched against Eritrea or preserve the disunity. That is something that has been awarded the Ethiopian colonial rule whose cruelty had no equal in the history of Eritrea. At
Ethiopian colonialism in Eritrea was neither direct n'evidente. This is because the internal conditions and external as well as in Eritrea were not directly attributable to the domination of Ethiopia. And 'under the pretext of the resolution, sponsored by the United States, United Nations Association in 1952 that began the domination of Ethiopia. The period of the Federation (1952-1962) witnessed the erosion of the independence inside Eritrea, the Ethiopian domination of aggressive expansion and development of the Eritrean resistance.
One of the most significant achievements of this period was the increase seen in our national struggle, which had begun in the forties: the emergence of movements of workers and students and in particular the establishment and expansion of the Movement Liberation of Eritrea (Mahber show). Ethiopia colonial era, according to all the points view, the rearmost of Eritrea. Consequently there was nothing they could build or improve Ethiopia to Eritrea, he has only destroyed. With crude repressive measures has systematically undermined the political, economic, social and cultural development of Eritreans.
He then uprooted the budding political democracy in Eritrea and has led to a period of cruel dictatorship. Destroying the economy and infrastructure, Ethiopia, Eritrea reported back 30-40 years. The worst, most difficult and insoluble, that the colonial legacy has left Ethiopia, however, was the backward culture and its corrupt leadership. Certain characteristics of the Eritrean culture of which we were proud of, such as discipline, honesty, strong work ethic, initiative, creativity, self-hate and dependency, gave way to corruption, fraud, laziness and dependence on 'alms During the colonial rule of Ethiopia, especially in urban areas.
Ethiopia has been able to maintain a more developed country and most advanced, Eritrea, under the yoke of his rule for forty years, mainly thanks to the support of major world powers, primarily the United States and later, the Soviet Union . The enormous support that Ethiopia received prolonged the Ethiopian colonial domination and suffering the people of Eritrea and made the price of independence was much greater than would be otherwise. This unlimited support to Ethiopia on the one hand and the isolation of the Eritrean revolution on the other, led us to rely solely on our own resources and has stimulated the imagination and ingenuity in all fields.
It is no exaggeration to say that this has resulted in the establishment of the liberation struggles in the more developed world, which contributed greatly to nation-building Eritrea. The struggle for liberation of Eritrea at the beginning is not well advanced. When, in 1961, the Eritrean Liberation Front (ELF) began armed struggle has interpreted the wish of the Eritrean people. However, prospects ELF and the method did not favor the unity of the people of Eritrea, they were useful in building the nation and the success of the fight. ELF
The fundamental error was to indulge in the divisions of the Eritrean society along ethnic lines, religious and regional divisions instead of fomenting such encouraging the mobilization of all Eritreans. There have since been tragic political developments in Eritrea, however, the tendency to exploit the differences in the Eritrean population and quotas for small political gains and to play well and narrow-minded cultural attitude has not disappeared Eritrean politics. Those who have used up to this kind of politics of division were the Ethiopian rulers. Realizing that it could not defeat the Eritrean people with bullets and fire power, were not spared, until the day of their flight, to sow seeds of discord between the Eritrean people, putting one side against the other.
sixties burned mosques, and churches were spared. Then they tried to exploit the inhabitants of the lowlands, creating fictitious divisions with other Eritreans. We are continuously applied in their divisive politics to the lowest levels of society, creating conflicts between villages and even among people within the same village. The Movement for the Liberation of Eritrea in particular and the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) have been able to counteract the intrigues the Ethiopians and Eritreans of their employees, cultivating nationalism and unity among the people of Eritrea.
The EPLF has generated a field of struggle in which all the Eritreans who were opposed to colonial rule and were eager for independence, could participate regardless of their religion, language, ethnicity, class and type. The EPLF has become a common home for hundreds and thousands of Eritreans who came from urban areas and rural regions of the plains and the plateau and from more distant locations. He fed the nationalism of the Eritreans and laid the foundation for national unity, excluding all the attitudes of division and narrow-mindedness. He has taught, practiced and spread equality among all citizens. In all its policies and activities, the EPLF has grown inclusive nationalism and unity of the Eritrean people.
Through a history of one hundred years of colonial experience and especially from their historical activities, the people of Eritrea has become a nation composed of many ethnic groups, languages \u200b\u200band many cultures. The journey of nation building is long and complicated. Although the basics of Eritrean nationalism were planted firmly in our struggle long for liberation, should still be completed. The population of Eritrea, whose unity is rooted in a long tradition of peaceful coexistence and harmonious, and was reinforced by the long struggle, is one of the populations joined together companies with similar social structures.
As a result of this unity was achieved victory and then peace and stability prevail hours nell'Eritrea independent. The establishment of the Eritrean government of this unit reflects and reinforces broader. We briefly explored the centennial history of the Eritrean people. During that century, the natural history of Eritrea has stopped people from colonialism. The Eritreans have experienced the colonial oppression, including the worst kind of fascist racism. Unlike other colonial peoples, the Eritreans were denied the right to independence.
Moreover, while the similarly oppressed people who led the liberation struggle, was getting a broad international support, the Eritrean people was obliged to conduct its own struggle against an enemy internationally supported. This fight was considered by many observers as unnecessary and reckless. Eritrean people has emerged victorious from this trial difficult. The heavy firepower has not weakened on the contrary has hardened and strengthened his resolve. He earned Only in this way the independence and sovereignty.
In several countries in which they were conducted national struggles for liberation, independence was followed by conflict and civil war times. In Eritrea, however, thanks to strong national unity, developed with the struggle and a mature political management, peace and stability have prevailed. E 'was established a government of broad and popular support for a period of transition. Transitions are often difficult, but Eritrea is quickly finding solutions to problems encountered during this period. With high hopes, the country is geared towards the difficult challenge of developing a modern society and stable. To say that the Front Eritrean People's Liberation (EPLF) gave the greatest contribution to the great victory of the Eritrean people, you only declare a historical fact.
As already mentioned, in Eritrea, the armed struggle was in a state of crisis and so close to defeat in the late sixties and early seventies. The one that gave new life to the struggle, was the establishment dell'EPLF. It 'was the EPLF that has implemented the revolution. Challenging and addressing the military campaigns, supported by the Soviet army's largest black African (Ethiopian army) has made an historic final military victory, established a broad national front and made participation People a reality, organized a referendum so that independence was the result of a free and legal Eritrean people and not a mere military victory: it has laid solid foundations for the independence of Eritrea and its international relations.
The EPLF successfully achieved the basic objectives for which began: the peace and independence for Eritrea. As Liberation Front has accomplished its mission with an undisputed success. The EPLF, though, has never sought independence as an end in itself, but rather a prerequisite for the development of democratic and modern society in which justice and prosperity were the predominant elements. Considered that the EPLF is a political organization that embraces all members of the Eritrean population and is suited to 'units as well as rich in experience, and' by believing that he has the ability to make a major contribution to the development of Eritrea. However, this new chapter and new challenges awaiting require new organizational structures, new mechanisms and guidelines. This new structure can not be separate and apart from the rich experience of the past.
must be built on the strong foundations already established dall'EPLF. Should inherit and improve the policies and practices proven by the events preceding and at the same time, avoid the weaknesses and imperfections past and current. Must develop political programs, organizational structures and working procedures that are appropriate to the new demands of this new chapter. The new structure should consider the nature of our society, of its developmental stage and the lessons learned from previous experience as well as experiences faced by high in the third world.
allow this new structure is to become constructive and fair to the needs of this new phase, must be the result of a movement broadly, encompassing all patriotic and democratic Eritrea, as an alternative to a type of organization with a restricted basis . Most of the members dell'EPLF have a strong commitment in the advancement of the country, for whose independence has been severely beaten and then killed it is natural that they become an active part in the movement, like others who love the country and its people, but they were outside dell'EPLF due to developments of the liberation struggle or other reasons.
During this new phase of building the political, economic, social and cultural life of the nation, while we are building a political movement broadened to effectively drive our future journey, we must clarify our basic objectives and means of achieving them. We emerge victorious, despite all the difficulties and dangers, because as the liberation movement and as a people, we had clear vision and common goals of independence and peace, today we have a progressive vision of Eritrea and its people and is of the utmost importance that such a view comes in the hearts and minds of all Eritreans so that it can be organized and groped to make
