Selam hypocrats in this thread,
While you are at it, please add to the list of the greviences : the
arrogant, stupid hypocratic sense of diaspora morality.
While you have a choice of hundreds of TV stationes , the Eritrean youth
have none.
You all are spoilsports of the worst kind. Did you think this out while you
were watching some western porn channel?
rot in hell hypocrats !!!
