Please, just credibility and well understanding to the Eritrean national struggle! Look at this: He was just 15 years old when, in 1968, he became a child soldier, joining the Eritrean Liberation Front…
It was an honor for all Eritrean nationals that time to flee their homeland and join the national struggle to liberate their homeland. Even very young girls had fled from Asmara and other villages to Sudan to join the EPLF. That was the Eritrean pride and we have written it with blood and by lyrics and stories of sacrifices. Whatever, has happened after that will never erase this heroic history of the nation. There is not any revolution in the entire African continent, or the world as the Eritrean revolution.
As for the mentioned name, with due respect, he was not a child soldier, but a hero and he should be proud of that. If you know the numbers of the Eritrean people and the numbers of the occupying power, and their way to carry the locust invasion, then you’ll know the necessities and emergencies for all Eritrean, even those who were in their moms’ bellies to be freedom fighters.
