DMLEK, KUNAMA SEPARATIS ORGANIZATION (posted on Meskerem.net, October 2010)
Response.- WHO IS THE SEPARATIST, THE OPPORTUNIST, THE CHAUVINIST ETHNIC GROUP IN ERITREA? J. Antonio, USA , November 13, 2010

No ethnic group in Eritrea accused the Kunama as separatists unless you arrogant highlanders Erit-Tigrini. First, learn something about who you are before us to undermine separatist Kunama. The separatism, sectarianism, and chauvinism are your culture
. The Erit-Tigrini even denay to be Ethiopian origin. “Why do you people not consider yourselves Ethiopian-Tigrini. instead Eritrean Tigrini?” He who hates his brother is a killer. In the PFDJ regime majority are Tigray-Tigrini origin, Isayas from Adua and Yemane Gebremeskel ect…..nobody can diny. Why do you claim to be aborigines of Eritrea?. In reality you are from Gojjam-Province- Ethiopia as precisely as -Tigray-Tigrini. Why stubbornly denied not be Tigray -Tigrini origin of Ethiopia? Hamasien, Akele-Guza and Serae are regionally separate and even hate each other. This is what we should call separatism. Having one blood, culture, language and religion, yet are separate by region calling some even Agame because the live close to Tigray. So who is a separatis? Why do you not shut your mouths instead of criticizing the Kunama as separatists?
Take off the hay from your eyes before launching certain offensives against us Kunama. Separatism, opportunism, arrogance is your natural culture, so do not point finger to the Kunama. The Kunama, Saho, Bilen, Afar, Hidareb, Nara are called the separatists because they have tried to defend their ethnic and territorial rights. It is due to nasty behaviour that some Eri-Tigrini have. Many honest Erit- Tigrini admit your arrogance and and pray every day for your downfall. We acknowledge the Kunama ethnic group, are not land-grabbers. You highlanders are greedy on the property of others especially in the Kunama territory.
You are a cancer for eight ethnic groups to survive peacefully in their own land too. Without you Erit-Tigrini Eritrea would be a “paradise on earth”. With your arrogant character you can not even live in paradise, maybe you fight with St. Peter for the keys of paradise. Why are you so? Peace, tranquillity and good coexistence with other people of the world is a taboo for you . In Kenya, Sudan, South Africa, Tanzania, Ethiopia, in western countries "etc, everywhere there are Erit-Tigrini always there being as the Tsunami. We want to let you know that the Tigrinya in Eritrea are migrants, landless(Maekelai Aliet).You are supposed to thank the aborigines of Eritrea that allowed you to live in their land. Highlanders are the factors of pollution and tension between ethnic groups in Eritrea. Because of this you will be accountable for what happens over time. There will come a time that we say "SPADE SPADE".
Thus: -
1 .- Andinnet (UNION) voted federation with Ethiopia, saying it was better with Christians.
2 .- Lowland voted independence, and you did not co-operate for the independence of Eritrea. You highlanders considered lowlanders as Muslim who wanted to be with the Sudan. Emperor Haiele Sellassie honored the highlanders with the super titles Deggiazmachs, Gresmachs, Fitauraris, etc. All enjoyed the privileges and trampled the independence of Eritrea. Finally rebelled your Ethiopian masters after they imposed Amharic as the official language of Ethiopia. That implementation destroyed your dominance and arrogance in Eritrea. After federation (1952-1962 federation), the lowland declared guerrilla war against Ethiopia. The greedy highlanders came last and had used the opportunity to participate in the ELM, with great suspicion on the guerrilla, with the intention to separate and create an "Highland" organization desiring to dominate other ethnic groups. After a few years Isayas broke-up from the ELF and formed ELPA all of whom were from Tigrigna ethnic groups.
Isayas had poorly convinced his friends that the ELF was a Muslim organization. To accommodate the Erit- Tigrina dominance he used the slogan " Hade Hizb Hade Libbi”. In fact with the help of TPLF Isayas was able to eliminate the ELF. Why do you Erit-Tigrinya want to be on the top of others mainly Kunama? The Kunama have not yet forgotten the genocide of Ras Alula and Isayas continues to haunt us. The baseless accusations against the Kunama is not going to solve Eritrean problem. It is rather too late to fool the other ethnic groups too. If there are good Tigrinya people stop look to the ground and think twice. anough is enough we do not want any ethnic -clashes specially between highland and lowland. Eritrea will be divided into two. Where do the Eri-Tigrians go? Lowland is bordered with Sudan and Ethiopia can peacefully coexist and live in harmony.
