Ethio-Eritrean Boundary Delimitation: The Irob CaseIrob Community In North America "We, members of the Irob Community in North America, have studied the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission’s report announced on April 13, 2002 and present to the Ethiopian people, the Irob community and the Commission our observations and conclusions about the implications of the decision with regards to the affected communities and the territorial integrity of the Irob region and Ethiopia." 
"There cannot be peace in the region by ceding to Eritrea heavily populated ancient and historical Ethiopian territories
with ancient religious centers. Simply, the people will never accept it. If Eritrea opted for separation
from Ethiopia because the Eritrean people wanted it, if so, let it be. However, Eritrea has to go with what
belongs to it and with those who want to be Eritreans. Leave alone those
who have been always part of the rest of Ethiopia and consistently demonstrated
their determination to remain Ethiopians."

What is surprising is its inconsistent attempt to intrinsically link the fate of the country with that of the regime's party (EPRDF).

The Afar and Issa Conflict - from an Afar perspective and a response to Dr. Abdulmejid's interview with Addis Tribune
(Posted May 03, 2002)Afar Association of North America (AANA) [May 29, 2002]: The recent conflict between the Afar and Issa tribes - the latter being a Somali tribe- is a continuation of a systematic and carefully orchestrated expansionist policy to achieve a long sought dream of Great Somalia. The sad aspect of this expansionist policy is that individuals, such as Dr. Abdulmejid, who have been given a position of power so as to advance the interests of Ethiopia are doing the exact opposite. We will give reasons why we strongly believe that Dr. Hussien is not being objective about this most unfortunate conflict.

Ethiopia to us whether she feed us or starved us, whether she is Poor or rich, sad, stress or joy, Whether the world goes with her, degrade and conspire against her, Whether they like her or dislike her, that is not the factor for us to Love her or to Hate her. She is our mom, the mom and the only mom We have & the only mom we know and the only mom we came from.
Thinking about The Hague Commission's recent DecisionBy Dr, Teodros Kiros
Reflecting about the decision at The Hague continues to give me heartache. The issue is important and daunting, and since it was issued, I have been reflecting about what to do, how to respond, and what I truly think. I had once actually decided not to say anything, worried that whatever I say is going to displease everyone.

International Support for Ethiopia's Right of Access to the Red SeaBy Dr. Jacob Haile-Mariam
"Without Ethiopia's legitimate right of access to the sea, there cannot be durable peace between Ethiopia and Eritrea. How can a country of 60 million people be landlocked for the first time in its long history when the sea is only a walking distance away from its border and hope for peace? How can the peace, the security and the development of a country be held hostage by another and hope that there will be peace between the hostage taker and the victim. If Ethiopia's right of access to the sea is not settled now fairly and judiciously, to the satisfaction of everyone concerned it will only mean postponing the war for the next generation. No society willingly brings about its own demise by allowing itself to be slowly asphyxiated by completely isolating it from the rest of the world."

Public, government getting polarizedThe Reporter
In order to assume state power and to lead a country and a people, it is essential to have wisdom, loyalty maturity, competence, love for one's country, leadership skills and qualities, etc.
"When the private print media speak of strengthening the press, the government accuses it of warmongering and of siding with the opposition. When the business community complains about the problems facing it, it is labeled as corrupt, parasitic. Anyone who raises the issue of the port of Assab is harried for being a warmonger and chauvinistic."
