Military reversal is a normal effect of war. There is nothing new about it as history recorded that many Nations came out, in the end, as winners. The British survived after the UNFAVORABLE POSTION at Dunkirk, as it was true for the Americans after the initial shock of Pearl Harbor. In the Eritrean case too, the chapter is not closed. As I said in my previous posting, Meles' senseless forecast was no less a "wish list" than that of Hitler about Stalingrad. The interesting thing is, the Woyane clique and their American supporters in the "National Security and the State Department" thought that Eritrea would crumble within a short order. Eritrea is more than its total sum. It is not a banana Republic as Western supporters of Ethiopia like Paul Henze and Patrick Gilkes think it is. It is a determined society that has survived against all odds for the last 50 years where both big powers (the United Sates and Russia) have conspired with its enemies to erase it from history and the earth. Still it prevailed.

Oh! How loud those Ethiopia's Western Supporters spoke this last 7 days about Eritrea's doom and even those I personally thought as seasoned organizations like the BBC thus have joined the jubilation and told us that the Ethiopians captured Um Hajer while what was fed to them by the Ethiopians were at best circumstantial and at worst, completely untrue. Still BBC chose to broadcast the unverified news about Um Hajer.

For the BBC, to broadcast such unverified news shows a measure of their ignorance about Eritrean society and Eritrea's ability to survive and fight at its own choosing. If such news had come from the American mass media, I would have given it no more attention. But the BBC! What a sad day! Have the Brit gone mad forgetting that what Eritrean commanders did was in an exact format of what the British Expeditionary Force under Lord Gort did at Dunkirk in May 1940 i.e. when you are cornered, the first duty of the commanders is to seek a solution that is absolutely disadvantageous to the enemy even if that requires troop withdrawal from a land that one holds as dear. Did the BBC Wonks forget that just as there was a Dunkirk miracle where, all in all, 340,000 men were evacuated and of whom 198,000 were British and the rest French, Polish, and Belgian? Eritrean commanders too have also managed to withdraw their troops with dignity and intact. The result of that magnificent achievement can be seen the fact that, in a matter of four or five days, they blunted the Ethiopian advance and may I say that for the Eritrean army, the music has yet to start!!

And so my dear BBC as the deliverance of Dunkirk have saved the flower of the British army and the core field commanders of the British army such as Sir Allen Brooke, Field Marshals Montgomery and Alexander, the withdrawal of the Eritrean army from Barentu was also meant to be just that.

British and American Mass media have also spoken about Ethiopia's expertise of Military Planners. This too is nothing more than say what the Japanese did in December 1941. In as much as American War Planners did, there was one area that American Naval Commanders never entertained that the Japanese could do. And yet, it was that small window of opportunity that American Naval planners failed to cover that the Japans took advantage of and came all the way from Japan, undetected, and literally disabled the American Naval Power in the Pacific at least temporarily. But we know what the end result was: Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And therefore Ethiopia sneaking through the mountains of "Inda Aba Simon" in the end will "NOT" be in favor of Ethiopia. If any thing, now the World knows what the real motive of this war is. Now Eritrea is free to take appropriate measure against the evil Woyanie. For this Eritrea will prevail.
