Reports of Coup, Arrest and Death of Eritrean President
Rumours, Gossips and Speculations with regards to 'coup in Asmara,
Eritrea' are splashed today in the websites of some news organisation
across the internet.
The situation, today Monday the 21st 2013, in Asmara and all over Eritrea
is no different from any other day. It has been peaceful and
business as usual and there is no sign of mutiny, coup d'etat or any
kind of uprising.
There was a small incident that has occurred in the offices of the
Eritrean Television that was resolved peacefully. The details of the
incident will be clear in the coming days, but there was no force
involved in the incident. The Eritrean Television staff members have
reassured their offices is peaceful.
However, a few western individuals such as Martin Plaut, Dan Connel
and others like them who have been attempting to destabilise the
Eritrean government for a long time are fuelling a virtual coup
d'etat in the internet to create confusion amongst Eritreans in the
vain attempt to kick-start a real Coup d'etat.
The western media journalist Martin Plaut who works for the BBC as
director for Africa has been tweeting furiously all day about an
imaginary Coup d'etat in Eritrea even claiming that the Eritrean
President is under arrest.
Dan Connell, a man who has developed an insatiable craving to see the
unseating of President Isaias Afwerki at any cost wrote an article
today and could not hide his real intentions of stopping the mining
industry in Eritrea. He could not even pretend to appear to care
about Eritrea or Eritreans.
Reports from AFP about the imagined coup has managed to link the
story with the share prices of the main mining company with clear
intention to affect negatively the share price and frighten any
potential investment on the booming industry of Eritrea.
These same discredited sources of information have been claiming the
President of Eritrea was dead of illness in order to divert attention
from the fatal illness and eventual death Meles Zenawi only 5 months
back in 2012.
Not satisfied with the lie, deceit and destruction caused by their
reports on the imagined death of Eritrea's President few months back;
they are now back with even more imagined coup d'etat of a President
who was supposed to be dead by their own accounts.
It is very clear this virtual coup d'etat is designed out of
frustration by the detractors and destabilisers of Eritrean government
who had recently started a major investment drive for its citizens in
all aspects of the economic sectors.
Eritrea had the highest rise of Economic Development in 2011 and
this trend was continuing in the next few years fuelled by the heavy
investment made in the country's infrastructure over the last decade.
Victory to the masses
