An article appeared on Asmarino.com whose content did not surprise me considering ‘the Sobering Times’ we went through these days. It appears some latter-day ‘activists’ are deliberately confusing themselves in order to confuse matters and create a stage for their Ethiopianist tendencies. For instance, I found it astonishing why someone had to voice his objection over Eritreans singing the national anthem abroad. Why not? Isn’t that our national anthem? Perhaps it would have pleased the writer to hear the Eritrean refugees sing ‘wedefit gesg‘shi wud enat Etiopia’. ‘Anything the government endorses has got nothing to do with us’ mentality is immature, to say the least.

But I am not talking about the prophecy of prophet Isaiah, who proclaimed, “a virgin will conceive and beget a son…” I am not talking about the prophecy of Jesus Christ who told Peter that he would betray him three times, not even Chris’s prophetic words about Judah. I am not even talking about the prophecy of Isaias Afwerki who proclaimed that “ultimately the upper hand is ours”— a prophecy yet to be fulfilled or fulfilled depending who you mean by “ours.” I am not talking about the “golden words” from the golden mouth. I am not even talking about the prophetic words of the late Ibrahim Sultan, who proclaimed to the world that “there will not be peace in the Horn if the yearning of Eritreans for independence is denied.”
The prophecy, I
