I AM PROUD TO HAVE A PRESIDENT LIKE ISSAYAS AFEWERKI
Kubur President Isaias Afewerki is a Tower of Strength. I am real Proud to say he is my Leader!
A VERY ENCOURANGING IDEAS FROM A THOUGHTFUL LEADER!!
This is why gamblers in Washengton went Him go and why we Eritrean went him stay. We have a lot to do and we need Our leader, wedi afoms,in this time of difficulties. Long live to Isaias. Happy independenc day Wedi Afom, EDF, Warsay-yikalo, and to all my brothers and Sisters of Eritrean who are living in Eritrea and abrod.
He is still one of the very few progressive african leaders. His stance against foreign dominance, his confidence on self reliance, his strength on winning over inveders, his far reaching regional policies, his courage on oppossing big countries who works agains Africas interest makes him a very good leader for his country, for Africa aswell.
Isayas is the Man!!!

This is a joke what i am saying is we Eritreans has got a very sacrifices leaders and all members of this Government and its EPLF organization.

Where can you get better enlightenment? The only person that can provide it is our president Isayas Afewerki, a few minutes spent listening to him is worth years of education, now that is a mark of a trully great human being. A source of pride for Africans in general and Eritreans in particular, because he is a product of the most bitter yet most intellingent popular movement in the history of human struggle for freedom and true emanicipation from ignorance, injustice and domination by the powers of the day, they will fade into history but president Isayas and his wisdom will live forever as a guide to the rest of us for eternity.

Americans,we are not in the dark age grow up.
You do not any respect after all you condemn our country for death and misery tahnks to your selfish attitude. However you might call us terrorist or whatever but the matters are clear .I do not see even the use of any kind diplomatic languagge towards you.
You did what you did and you are still doing your best to cancell us from the world map .We are what we are modest lean but very powerfull people.
Bravo wedi Afom !!!!
All the way with you.
Hope this message arrive even to those who try to defame Eritrea. The same time I wish happy Indipendence day for all Eritreans in and out of the country, in particularly for those they are involved to defend Eritrea while constructing in different part of the country.
Long live PIA and people of Eritrea
I do not see anything nice about this guy, I like his corruption free administration style, but he is not bright when it comes to challenging his political opponents. Instead of competing with them, he jails them. That means he has doubts on his ability to compete and perhaps get elected. He is impatient and he does not respect the law.
he really know’s what he saying thats why i like about this guy
Hi ‘HIGGI-AKBARI’ for sure you are from the opposition, doing nothing for the country, that said this leader no matter what, he is doing all his best for his country,as you admitted corruption free administration and from nothing he is doing all miracles togather with WARSAY-YIKALO. What about you just judging from out.
What a GREAT leader, President Isayas Afeworki. A very very smart and humble leader, I really admire this man.
HE IS A STRAIGHT SHOOTER WITH NOTHING TO FEAR BUT FEAR IT SELF. A GREAT AFRICAN LEADER AND A ROLE MODEL FOR THE REST.
He speaks a perfect English too given the fact he spent his entire life in the army to free the mother land, this man has kept him self educated in all avenues and that is what a leader supposed to be!
God bless you PIA!!!
Awet n Hafash!
Eritrea will prevail!!!
Great leader, without Uniform, without Golden Chair,
just simple like you and me, honest, direct, and someone to
be proud of as a leader and our President!!
Higgi Akbari, The fact that he is not challenging political oppenets is that there are no such oppenets to be challenged.
Hapy Independence day to all
First of all i would like to say congra for our Indipendence day,to all eritrean people and warsay yikalo with our best president Isaias Afewerki. secand l’m very proud and empress about our president interview with Reuters which is very onest and turthful words. we need to falow his way to work together and to develop our cuntry and people.
I love to say the greatest leader,from the world wedi afeom. GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT AMEN.
he is the second che guevara
A high caliber leader whose integrity is unmatched by any other president on the planet! Yes, other leaders should learn how to stand firm on their ground, how to fight for peace and self reliance instead of becoming slaves to the Bush administration.
Long live PIA and the people of Eritrea!
I am proud of you wedi Afom , you are the Great leader.
President Isaias, the George Washington of Eritrea, as a founding father, he is just lying down the foundation for the future generation.
Once we pass this testing ground or critical moment, we will stand on solid ground and NOBODY I SAID NOBODY is going to push and shove as around.
I have a president that is not only thinking of today but a generation to come. What a President. I am very proud of him and being Eritrean.
God Bless you Mr. President.
He is best of explaining things. You do not need to graduate from Harvard or Princeton to figure out how to get out from poverty and being self reliance. It is a simple logic…let you people do the thing that is working and…teach your people to eat home growing products…and cut all stupid Food Aids from getting to your country.
Mr. President I would like to Salute you for your hard work and standing for those all odds against you. You are my hero.
highly respected inteligent with integrity and hard working president. thank you sir for your service to this country.
happy indipendence to all eritrean specialy to all servie memebers of eritrean defence force
As the time-honoured and noble motto goes
“One for all; all for one”
We are with you Issu, keep up the good work.
Eritrea will persevere in the end !!
If PIA was the president of ethiopia, that country would have been the leading factor of co-existing and hurmony between the hundreds of tribs of that shit country. But in the same time we would have been prostituting beggars with out the wisdom of PFDJ and PIA. Eritrea is blessed. And i thanks only my fallen heros for that.
if african leadrs follow the eritrean president, the world could be peaceful and prosperous in general and in particular the african continent could see it’s pouple free from economical, political and decision maker for it’s destiny,long live eritrea and it’s presidena.Salute REUTERS
As a young Eritrean, I am definitely inspired by the vision PIA has for Eritrea. I will no doubt do my share to contribute for a prosper Eritrea due to my parents, warsai/yikaleo, and PIA!
We are proud of our President H.I.A heis our hero. I see the future coming bright to all eritrean. Keep up the good work we are all behind.
We refuse to be what THEY wants us to be,we are what we are that`s the way it`s going to be.Our freedom is based by honest and hard work not by lies and beging food.

What a leader! What a people!

:)
…. I cant wait to hear the Lion ROAR!
Thanx EastAFRO for keeping us connected!
this kind of leader comes once in life time,so eritreans & africanes injoy it.
Honest answer based on reality and facts rather than wishfull thinking. At the same time he make it clear the position of the people and government of the State of Eritrea when he say “Eritrea will not compromise its sovereignty for the sake of a handful of aid”. Let them find other nation, people and leader who are willing to serve thier interest for a handful of aid.
With the leardership of President Isaias, the true father of Eritrea, no doubt Eritrea will reach to the top of mountain in a very, very short time!!
With the leadership of President Isaias, the true father of Eritrea, no doubt Eritrea will reach to the top of the mountain in a very, very short time!!
Meles was not laying when he said it is batter to talk with
Isaias Afwerki for four hours than going to university for four years.for first time he didn’t lay.
Again the great leader gives its answer for Lamond. After the collapse of the cold war, the only superpower nation has remaining with US. They make a play to lead the world by mapping NEW ORDER AND EQUITY. So has happening what they are planed after the collapse of former USSR. The explanation our leader is much broad . We proud of dear president
Hi every one we’re taiking abount the leadry but we need like him as will.b/c he is only for this time but after him we need someone.so pls for who those edicated people pls do the wright think. thanks
God please all
This kind of Interview hurts the bad guys in washington. They know well they can’t manipulate this intelligent & smart revolutionary President Issias like Mabutu, Jonas Savimbi, Meles, Noriega or other Bimbos (Slaves) by their Intelligency (CIA). Eritrea is not Panama & PIA is not Noriega. PIA know, we all eritreans knows too & the world know now too, ERITREA NEVER KNEEL DOWN. NEVER! Proud to have a president like Issias.
Iam really proud for our President, God bless his heart…. Eritrea Forever!!!!!

Great interview by our great leader.PIA is a very bright man. Unless some one is so ignorant or hateful. It is so easy to see PIA loves his country so much and he is not there to lote his nation money like the others 99% of African presdents. I wish him a healthy long life. I also like to thank him for his service to our country. Thankyou once again.NBER NBER 100 YEARS. I also like to thanks eastafro.com love love these web site!!!!

happy 17th B DAY
this is sami i am so happy to say congra to all eritrean ppl
I haven’t seen a leader as articulate as president isseyas afeworki. I am not saying it because I am Eritrean but being neutral. He is a very powerful leader he can give you a power. He knows what he is saying. I think he needs more recognition specially by Africa in order to contribute valuable things in Africa. He is a product of 30 years struggle no wonder of his energy. He is a mirror of all tegadelti and the same time a diamond of Eritrea people. Eritreans should be very proud! Lets all celebrate our independence with pride.
g0d bless u isu,, my g0d ledare yhana t0 all eritrean pplpss
Dear All,
President Isaias Afwerki is an honest person who calls things as he sees them. He calls a spade a spade. He is one of the great leaders of this century. He is a far sighted and enlightened person, who would not compromise his principles for short term gains. He is a leader who has put the interest of his people and country over and above his own peronal interest. His agenda and that of the party he leads is to bulid an independent Eritrea where all its citizens (present and future generations) would enjoy a better life and live in harmony and peace.
I would like to seize this opportunity to congratulate the President, his comprades in the ruling party, and the Eritrean people for the achievments they have registred in all sectors of the national life.
I wish the President, his comrades and the Eritrean people good health and prosperity in the years to come.
Happy Independence Day !
Wow mr. president what a power ful idea you have. I am very impressed hopefully the way will not be hard for us to materiualize your dreams. I feel that it is also important to see opportunities we can use for the good of our people with out manipulating other peoples opportunity. I hope we are very realistic not idealistic as you said it. I have a great respect for president Isayas and colleagues who sacrificed their life for generations to come. I use this opportunity to call upon all of you who read my comments to stand besides our president and help Eritrea become the model for the continent that is marginalised and going into deep poverty in the era of globalization.
wow realy apreciate how you conclude the interview
viva isayas
I AM VERY PROUD TO HAVE SUCH LEADER WEDI AFOM.HE IS A REAL LEADER AND REAL HERO.I AM HAPPY AGAIN TO SAY THIS IS OUR LEADER BECOUSE OF HIS REALLITY,CONFIDENCE,INTELLIGENCE…..,ANY WAY LONG LIVE TO WEDI AFOM AND GOD BLESS TO ERITREA.
HAPPY 17TH ANNIVERSARY ERI INDPENDENCE DAY.
WOW. I DON’T THINK THERE IS ANY LEADER LIKE HIM IN AFRICA OR ANYWHERE ELSE. WHY IS IT THTA THE WESTERN MEDIA OFTEN PORTRAIT HIM AND ERITREA IN A NEGATIVE IMAGE? FOR US HE IS A HERO. WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE AND PROUD TO HAVE YOU MR. PRESIDENT.
