  Isaias Afewerki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Isaias was a member of one of the more influential Eritrean families during the rule of Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia.
Isaias Afewerki is recognized as the architect of the strategy that eventually allowed the EPLF to surpass and eliminate the ELF as the foremost liberation movement of Eritrea, while at the same time increasing the effectiveness of his group against the forces of Emperor Haile Selassie's and then the Derg regimes of Ethiopia.
Isaias was heavily criticized by many of his cabinet of ministers and party members (the G-15) for the way he handled the border conflict with Ethiopia.

President Isaias Afewerki, in a speech celebrating Eritrea's 14th anniversary of independence from Ethiopia, also criticised the international community for not forcing Ethiopia to accept the ruling of an independent boundary commission in Eritrea's favour.
Isaias accused the U.N. Security Council of failing to enforce the ruling in its latest resolution to extend the U.N. peacekeeping mandate there.
Isaias said Eritrea had repeatedly suffered from "unholy alliances" that flouted justice and the rule of law over the past century, and this was the latest example of it.

After all, Isaias single-handedly “fought” and brought our “independence.” He “created” modern Eritrea and as a result, he has the right to dictate the future path of Eritrea, even if it means sinking it to the bottom of the ocean.
And that Isaias Afewerki is only a dictator in the minds of a few, like myself, and of course, her punching bag, Dr. Bereket habtesilassie.
A man that reduced his country to a one-party state and imagines that he is the sole leader, as Isaias Afewerki does, and cannot accept opposition to his supreme leadership and has to resort to open intimidations, killings and illegal incarcerations of supporters of his opponents.

 HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE ETHIO-ERITREAN BORDER
For Eritrea's authoritarian president, Isaias Afewerki, border claims were a pretext for an undertaking designed to divert attention from his own failures and the increasing dissatisfaction of his population.
Isaias claims that Ethiopia inflicted heavy destruction on the areas of Eritrea it penetrated in May 2000 and from which it quickly withdrew.
The sooner Isaias discovers he cannot deceive and manipulate the UN and friendly governments to support his continued vendetta against the government of Ethiopia, the better will be chances for serious progress toward peace in this troubled region.

Isaias Afewerki, without the above-listed conditions, would be tantamount to lending him the legitimacy that he desperately needs and craves for, even as he violates the very source of legitimacy-the Constitution which he has high-jacked after it had been duly ratified.

Isaias will probably try to revive the notion that EPLF Eritrea is a bulwark against Islamic fundamentalism.
Another tactic available to Isaias to improve his international status would be to try to ally himself with any county judged to be in some way inimical to Ethiopia.
Isaias attempted to use Somalia as a base for harassing Ethiopia and gave support to OLF dissidents that enabled them to operate from Somali territory.

At around six-foot-two, Isaias is good looking, doesn't stand on ceremony, dislikes neckties, is not surrounded by bodyguards or flunkies and has little patience with small talk.
Isaias thinks Ethiopia's "ethnic cleansing," the forcible deportation of Ethiopians with Eritrean links, is so harsh and unfair that some see a revival of an attitude they thought was finished when Mengistu was overthrown.
Isaias is animated when he talks about the dangers of foreign aid, and thinks aid programs can be a device whereby donor countries can influence and manipulate recipient countries and make them dependent.

"President Isaias Afewerki underlined that statements about the resumption of imminent war between Eritrea and Ethiopia are the invention of the TPLF and its collaborators designed to divert (attention from) the prevailing internal crisis in Ethiopia," it said.
Isaias said that "in a bid to escape from the current internal crisis it is facing, the TPLF regime is resorting to war as an alternative".
With regards to infrastructure, President Isaias said that the roads constructed in 2005 are quite significant in number, length and kind as compared to similar endeavors undertaken in 2003 and 2004.

Mad dog Isaias Afewerki is the epitome of irrationality, ignorance, brutality, repression, oppression and utter wickedness and evilness.
The most shameful aspect of the conflict is that Isaias Afewerki is claiming victory when a large chuck of Eritrean land was awarded to Ethiopia and all we got was Badme.

Eritrea was left free of debt and with significant assets; Ethiopia continued to use its former port of Assab to mitigate its new landlocked status.
On the surface, all was friendly; President Isaias and Prime Minister Meles kept in frequent telephone contact, and visits were numerous.
President Isaias himself is certainly unostentatious and accessible, often found chatting to customers in a bar near the presidency in Asmara.

By August PFDJ sources were saying that President Afewerki considered the break between the party and government on the one hand, and the G-15 on the other, as beyond repair.
We all hailed Isaias and his colleagues in creating an enabling environment to lead to democracy and we were waiting for that when he and his group - in my view - hijacked the constitution.

 What Lies Behind Eritrea's Pro-Arab Stance?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Following a visit to Doha in May 2002, Eritrean president Isaias Afewerki said in a press conference that the Arab League was 'inefficient' and that there was no reason for Eritrea to join.
Afewerki responded by attempting to terminate the new coalition, which explains his subsequent visit to Egypt and Libya, and his meeting in Egypt with Arab League secretary-general Amr Moussa.
Yet, despite French assurances that that the Eritrean port of Assab was suitably equipped for the task, Washington, wary of a country with numerous crises with its neighbours, shifted its attention to Djibouti.

 Eritreans worry Isaias may start war with Ethiopia again
Eritrea's national radio - Dimtsee Hafash of the ruling Isaias Afewerki regime - is explicitly embroiled in intense propaganda warfare that it gives the impression Eritrea is in the thick of war with Ethiopia.
Isaias have upgraded their propaganda work; they've styled themselves as "neutral Eritreans" who try to "alert" Eritreans in Diaspora to brush aside political differences and rally behind their nation to save an impending "invasion from Ethiopia."
Whether Isaias has forgotten how much pain he has brought to his own people, and would try another armed conflict with Ethiopia is to be seen in the future.

Among the foremost communities of Ethiopians that are dying a slow death under the despicable regime of Isaias Afewerki are Irob, a people who during peacetime used to inhabit areas a dozen of kilometers to the east of Eritrean-occupied Ethiopian town, Zalambessa.
Ann says she had hoped since the outbreak of the conflict that the International Community would pressure the Isaias regime to accept the Organizaion of Africa Unity (OAU) Peace Plan which demands Eritrea to withdraw its army from the occupied Ethiopian territories.
We are not trying to rescue what the marauding troops of Isaias have already killed, destroyed, burned or robbed of the residents; we are earnestly demanding that the Irob people be helped come out of the Shadows of War.

It is very obvious that Filipos Woldeyohannis will not be corralled into mad dog Isaias Afewerki's dungeons, like DurU, Petros, Sherifo, Ugbe and the "rest of the fools who obeyed like goats and were led to their death chambers," the close confidant assured us.
However, the only thing holding Filipos from assassinating mad dog Isaias Afewerki is that, "he is hated very much by the Eritrean people." Close observers of the Eritrean scenario confirm that Major General Filipos is the most hated person in Eritrea.
And mad dog Isaias Afewerki is very much aware of such remarks but is waiting for the "right time to hang the fool," a close source to the Agame dictator confessed, "Isaias does not tolerate people who threaten him.

Ethiopians - cognisant of the cultural oneness and socio-economic interlacing of the two sisterly nations - have all along maintained that the culprit for the " Bad Blood " and the near-permanent state of belligerency between Ethiopia and Eritrea, is Isaias Afewerki and not Eritreans per se.
