Eritrea, our sister country

A humorous anecdote tells about an incident, where a man, a Sudanese activist, during the (1990s), when the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) had adopted Asmara as a theater, in addition to housing the NDA’s headquarters. The activist in question was heavily intoxicated (drunk). And whilst he trying to climb the stairs of the hotel where he was staying, the intoxication overcame his senses and he ended up laying down on the first steps. 

 

He then went on to plead with those ascending and descending the stairs to help him stand, however, they all ignored his pleas and continued on their way, showing no mercy or even the slightest reaction to his predicament.

 

The (heavily intoxicated) activist proceeded to get angry… and while he was laying on the ground, he directed vile insults at the people passing him by… “You’re a bunch of impoverished Abyssinians… Sudan has always been supporting the Eritrean issue until you achieved your independence… but one drunk Sudanese man, you don’t want to support him?”

 

Do you see?

 

Nevertheless, it seems that the Eritreans have remembered their duty to stand with the drunkards, eventually, as Sheikh Mujahid Abu Al-Ma’ali says, sarcastically and mockingly.

 

According to provided accurate information, the —two—  “Sovereign” aircraft were transferred to Asmara, fearing (guarding against) unknown drones that continued to strike a number of locations within the borders of fortified cities, they believed to be impregnable. Not only that, but Asmara has become home to a significant number of “cadres” of the Port Sudan government. Furthermore, there is frequent information regarding the presence of Lt. Gen. Salah Gosh there. Some important ministers and senior leaders have adopted it as an alternative headquarters as well.

 

This certainly aligns with Isaias Afwerki’s statements. It also aligns with the jubilation of Al-Kizan (NCP) and “Balabsa” over the docking of a piece of the Eritrean navy off the coast of Port Sudan.

 

It appears that the capital will be moved to Asmara, temporarily, until a suitable “capital” is arranged on Sudanese territory. Apparently, thepeople of Atbara have refused to become the alternative “capital”. Hence, the situation has become similar to that of a shell company carried by the company’s director in his briefcase and moving around. The Port Sudan Authority has been reduced to mere stamps inside briefcases, and ministers wandering around neighboring countries.

 

Do you see?

 

That drunken activist may have been a little hasty in his judgment of the Eritreans…

 

They -finally- found a group of drunks and “helped them stand.”
