Who fucking cares people?

Afewerki go on to become secretary general of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) in 1987 with the civil war continuing to rage on; by now, the EPLF would eschew Marxism. The rebels would now control 90% of the country, with exception of the larger cities. In May 1991 Rebels succeeded in taking control of the last parts of the country not already under control, establishing a provincial government in the capitol Asmara on 29 May 1991. During this time the Mengistu regime would collapse in Ethiopia and nothing would stand in the way of independence for Eritrea. In April 1993 independence for Eritrea was attained by a referendum, where 95% of Eritreans were for the secession from Ethiopia. Afewerki would go on to become Eritrea's first president on 24 May, 1993. But hopes for a free Eritrea would become somewhat stunted, as Afewerki was evidently not committed to democracy and freedom. A one party state was put in place under the renamed People's Front for Democracy and Justice, and remains in place up until to-day with free elections never called again since Afewerki took power, despite promises of elections in 1997 and again in 2001.

Today the leader of the Read Sea Afar Democratic Organization (RSADO) Ibrahim Haron announced that all the Afars living in Eritrea are coming together to depose the dictator. The government supports the falsity of their actions, but the whole world knows the cruelty of the dictator. More than 300 Afar have been killed, hundreds are detained in very poor hygienic sanitary conditios. The same problem of Rwanda, the same cruel indifference of the West. Africa is the land of the abuses and looting, who fucking cares people?
