The grate leader, freedom fighter, and foreign minister Ali Said Abdella's death was a shock to Eritreans all over the world and friends of Eritrea. Ali Said was a person who made the impossible task possible. If their was a scale that measures humans accomplishment, the unite of that scale would show Ali Said Abdella among the best of the best. Ali who joined the Eritrean liberation movements in the early age was a visionary. What he had dreamed about in the late 60's became reality with Eritrea's Independence. After independence he worked and struggled tirelessly and left us a grate legacy. Most recently he was working on the Border demarcation issue that is so important for the secure future of Eritrea. It is a privilege and our duty to follow Ali Said Abdella's footstep.

Eternal remembrance and glory to all our martyrs

Eritrean independence became a reality after so much sacrifices. The brave son and daughters of Eritrea paid the ultimate price to gain Eritrean independence "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."(dr.k). It is because of them that we are enjoying Freedom,it is because of them that we are living life , above all they made Eritra. We will always honor the heros of Eritrea.

REST IN PEACE

Africa Almanac.com:- ISAIAS AFWERKI (ERITREA), president. If a nation were to be rated on how far it breaks with the stereotype so commonly associated with Africa, then the one country that would stand out above the other 53 African states would be the tiny nation of Eritrea, roughly the size of England, located in the Horn of Africa. This fiercely independent, Spartan people, fought Africa's longest war of the 20th century for independence from Ethiopia. On May 24, 1991, guerrillas of the Eritrean Peoples' Liberation Front stormed into the capital Asmara. The rebels had succeeded in defeating the forces of Ethiopian leader Colonel Megistu Haile Mariam, whose army was one of Africa's best equipped. The psychological effects of the 30-year war, in which more than 150,000 Eritreans died, can still be seen today. The militaristic nation has fought wars with Sudan, Djibouti, Yemen, and Ethiopia since 1993. On the domestic front, Eritrea is even more impressive. For a long time after his country won independence from Ethiopia in 1993, president Issais Afwerki lived with his father in his father's house, in order to reduce the expense of maintaining an executive state mansion. Self-reliance typifies the national mindframe. In an interview with the American magazine National Geographic in June 1996, president Afwerki declared: "We know we don't have the knowledge. We know we don't have the resources. We know we don't have the experience. Our conclusion is: Let's face it." In May, at the height of the war with Ethiopia, something peculiar was reported by the Voice of America in a special profile on Eritrea: whereas the citizens of nearly all other African countries would most likely transfer their money into foreign, western banks in war time, cash deposits by Eritreans into the country's commercial banks had increased by 20 percent in an extraordinary show of national support for the war effort. Corruption in public office is virtually unknown. Contracts for roads, schools, hospitals, and other public utilities are awarded and work delivered with no instances of embezzelment, a situation almost unheard of in Africa. At the outbreak of the war, thousands of university and technical college students, including girls, demonstrated through the streets of Asmara demanding to be enlisted in the army and sent to the warfront. Leading by example, president Afwerki has created a country that defies nearly every stereotype of what an African nation is supposed to be. It is this national character about Eritrea that makes a peace treaty with Ethiopia so important. Afwerki would be higher up on this list were it not for the May-June war with Ethiopia. The amount of national revenue that would be set aside and used efficiently for infrastructure development rather than a military buildup, could turn Eritrea into one of Africa's best-performing economies in a few years' time. Eritrea's name is taken from the Latin for the Red Sea --- Mare Erythraeum.

(Ethiopias claim about Badme is outrageous) BBC Reports:-

Here is Ethiopias Adminstrative Map Just before May 1998

This frontier was fixed in 1902 by a treaty between the Italian government, which had colonised Eritrea, and the Ethiopian Emperor Menelik II - ruler of what was then one of the few independent African states. Much of the border is defined by rivers, but around Badme the treaty stipulates an imaginary line linking two rivers. This straight line is visible on virtually all current maps published outside Ethiopia. Almost all modern African states have retained the boundaries they inherited from the colonial powers - a principle established by the Organisation of African Unity, and intended to stop Africa from fragmenting into ethnically-based states.
