Are Eritreans really fed-up with their one time “Hero”?

Over the past few days, in  the aftermath of the alleged failed “coup d'etat” attempt on 21st of January 2013 at the Eritrean Ministry of Information which resulted the National TV to be off from the air for whole day, a series of raids and storming of Eritrean embassies in Europe have become a common scene. A case in point, it's to be recalled that the Eritrean Embassy in London was

My Best Souvenirs from Sweden 

I don't know where and from when I should start but soon, it'll be eight years since I was forced to leave all that I've built all my life, my career, family friends and above all my beloved country due to an unfortunate incident that happened to me to "live" in Sweden.
