Eritrea President Isaias Afwerki: Three decades, a leader

A new generation of reformer is expected to be the president of Eritrea, who recently focused on the 32-year power, which was welcomed as part of a new generation of African leaders.

Isaias Afwerki now spends most of his time on a rural residence 20 km (12 miles) on a dusty hill from the capital Asmara.

Since 2018, the whole power takes all the power over it and receives foreigners in foreign officials and retreat as potential.

It is also a magnet for the usual emitter, which can help with Isaas’s problems.

79 years old, in three decades did not meet its power, and recently has little significant signs.

However, the work seemed very different in the 1990s.

In 1991, the Freedom of Freedom of the Eritrea (EPLF) Isaias was 45 because he was a rebel leader. He defeated Ethiopia fighting in the war.

Inspired hopes in a tall and charismatic, both at home and abroad.

In 1993, after official independence, Isaias first appeared on the international stage as the head of state.

At the Summit of the generation “Generation”, the elderly generation of African leaders in Cairo, “said the elderly” for decades “.

He promised that Oritreya will never repeat the same old failed approach and will make a democratic order to stop the social and economic development of his people. His position was equally won by eryitrearans and diplomats.

Isaias wasted closer relations with the West and the west of the first years of independence.

In 1995, after inviting the Eritrea leader to the Oval Office, US President Bill Clinton thanked the country for the stronger the country on the road to democracy.

Eritrea, the development of the law and a democratic system began to develop a new constitution.

Isaasas was expected to be “the President” until the Constitutional Government is elected. The new constitution was ratified by the Assembly of the Facility in May 1997.

However, as Eritryu and the world expect the national elections in 1998, the Dinitreya and neighboring Ethiopia war occurred on a controversial border.

Isaias was charged with a reasoning to postpone the elections in an indefinite way.

He promised a large democratic system, and his solution was tested after the peace agreement was reached in 2000.

Some of the cabinet, including the former close friends and weapons, began to reform.

A group of high-level officials, a group of high-level officials, known as G-15 in March 2001, was later accused of abusing and increasingly autocratic. They called on the implementation of the constitution and national elections.

From the mid-1990s, Eritrearans have been changed, including newspapers, which have tasted some freedoms, and critical voices, including democracy and justice and justice (PFDJ).

The National Assembly of the Transition decided to take place, the election commission was formed and the proposed political party law was discussed.

The country seemed to be on a slow way towards democratization.

However, this brittle opening was directed in September 2001, 9/11 in the world.

One morning, the authorities closed all independent newspapers, they effectively silence critical sounds. Many editors and journalists were taken into custody and never saw again.

At the same time, the government received 11 of the G-15, including three former foreign ministers, the head of the Armed Forces and several members of the Milli Majlis. seen or heard since.

Many eritreal hopes have been poured.

But Isaias has already moved away from applying democratic changes.

“I never wanted to take part in political parties,” he said in April 2001.

“Now I have no desire to participate in a political party and will not want to participate in a political party in the future.”

He also described the democratic process as “confusion”, PFDJ’s “is not a party. This is a nation.”

For many, it became known that the president would not allow democratic reforms.

The noise of critics and elections in the elections won the status of him and his country Pariah.

However, supporters say that he was unfairly targeted by the Western peoples and praised him as a symbol of national freedom.

In 2002, he did officially, the transitional assembly designed to catch it and made the same passenger in 2018.

Now some aging ministers that have no real powers remain minor, including weak government agencies and several ministries – defense.

I wonder why the protagonist of independence causes such a repressive return.

Former Regional Governor and High-Level Ambassador Abdella Adem, Isaias did not believe in democracy and always became obsessed from the government. According to Independence, Mr. Abdella, who now lived in London in London, led the iron fist before independence.

“He untimely demolished leaders with public legislation and filthy credentials that could protest their reputation and authority.”

In some surprises, in May 2014, Isaias announced a new constitutional plans, and then confirmed in 1997, the Constitution said he was “dead.” However, no progress has been made since then.

The proposal to write a new constitution was triggered by a blow by high-level military officers in 2013.

They took the tanks to capital and seized control of national television and radio stations in a few hours.

Understanding the failure of his effort, they tried to call 1997 to carry out the Constitution and release political prisoners. However, security forces drew the secondary broadcast of the plug.

Many officials – MINA Minister, a governor, diplomats and a general were taken into custody. The leader of the coup killed himself to escape from prison.

The former diplomat left his post in Nigeria and asked for asylum in England. Ambassador Ali Omeru, a veteran of the Independence War, was later detained and was not calculated.

“Isaias does not allow the governments that lock people like Afwerki, the original political and social institutions or the law, Mr Zeraslasie, now says a candidate at the University of Leeds.

“The uncertain suspension of the Constitution of Eritrea must be understood in this framework.”

Insulated International, Isaias appeared in the global stage. The UN General Assembly and the African Union suspended the participation of the peaks.

The country’s economy “competes” for evaluation of the World Bank last year.

“Economic activity limits a limited infrastructure, limited competition due to state advantages and serious import control,” the authors said the financial sector was “weak.”

Isaias himself acknowledged the problems in December last year in an interview with the State TV.

“One living economy will take us to anywhere. We are currently in this regard, in this regard,” he said.

Isaias also refuses humanitarian aid from an addictive fear that will break the principle of “self-confidence.”

Many eritreals, especially for young people involved in a variety of conflicts, especially with their neighbors Daily Life is a nightmare. Under the repressive regime, they face a little hope or freedom.

He flees his lives to avoid a large number of liberty with the lack of political progress with a compulsory challenge and state violence.

Hundreds of thousands of hundreds of hundreds of hundreds of hundreds of decades in the last two decades, ran away from the steppe and seas to find safe shelters. Eritrear is currently the third most common national national team, which will be refugee status in the UK.

Last month, in his speech of Independence Day, Ishiya did not give any sign of changes hoping to see many Eritra. There was no information about the release of the constitution, national elections or political prisoners.

At the same time, the country did not have a specific plan to transform the moribund economy.

Despite the criticism of the house, President Isaias, especially the military, ruling party networks and those who resisted the symbolic and foreign interventions and foreign interventions.

The President also has strong support in the diaspora who believes that Western forces are assassinated to shake the harsh independence of Eritryia.

As the disappointment in Eritrea increases, Isaias, in 2014, the name of the Hallo clause was taken back until the name of the Hallo damaged.

As about 80 Isaias, it is very afraid of what the next can be.

An attempt to enlarge his eldest son to succeed, in the 2018 cabinet meeting, no meeting has not been held since today.

However, there is no reliable opposition that can replace an open sequence plan or current mode in my country, it is difficult to imagine many without Isaias.

Mr Zeraslasie warns, “The president’s office has taken the country without collapse.”

During this year’s Easter, a Cross Kiss was seen during a church mass in Ishiya Asmara. Some believe that he was bought morally, and others hope that they could release political prisoners.

For now, Isaias is in control because of the long and anxiety of Eritrearus.
