    Isaias Calls for Intifada in Eritrea

    Recently a usual “interview” of Isaias Afwerki was aired on Eritrean television; none of the people I talked to expected something new, but somehow all had the urge to listen to it. The interview was widely spread, thanks to the many Youtubers who rushed to publish it. People speak to the public because they have

    Please Come and Invade Us!

    A fringe racist, bigoted, and servile group has been trying hard to undo Eritrea and what its people stand for.

    Smoking At Airport Colonies

    Let me start this with a slogan: Smokers of the world, Unite!

In the cell, a sticker reads: Rauchen
