One of the political deceptions which the public should know about is Issays’s hypocritical anti-Americanism. The story of Issays’s connection with the CIA goes back to April 1970 and to the Kagnew, US. base, in Asmara.
Issays managed to keep this a secret for nearly 30 years, from 1971 to 2001, by covering up and systematically eliminating key figures who knew about the meeting between him and CIA at Kagnew Station. However, in the era of Internet nothing can be kept secret, and the true story has been published online by Hagos Woldu in 2003, Alem Tesfay in 2004, Woldeyesus Ammar in 2004, Oqabanquel Tesfatsion in 2007, Aida Kidane in 2007 and Ruth Habtemariam in 2008. In connection with this story, Alem Tesfay in 2004 explained the cause of Abrham Twoldeo death which is still secret, in the following words:
After Issays came back to the Ala groups from the meeting he held with members of the CIA, he decided to split from the ELF. Because of this there was an argument with Abrham Twoldeo who was against splitting from the ELF, and over the talks with the Americans and the Ethiopians. After one month of arguments between them Abrham Twoldeo died(1) suddenly on 17 May 1970, which is still a secret for most of us.” Concerning this Erlich (1988: 97), states that one of Issays's main rivals in the rebel movement was poisoned to death. After Abrham Twoldeo death, Issays succeeded to the leadership of the group and then he took steps to split from the ELF.
Regarding the story linking Issays and the CIA, most of the EPLF fighters who joined the Front in mid 1970s didn’t know about the secret meeting. And it would never have crossed their minds because there was a lot of campaigning against Imperialism and the CIA within the Front. The author of this paper still recalls when young students from Petogo in Asmara who joined the Front were accused of being CIA agents, and they were forced to confess in our presence that they were sent by the CIA. It was also intended to convince the new recruited fighters that the rumour disseminated by the ELF about the above meeting was groundless. It was designed by Issays to serve as an excuse for liquidating anyone who was a threat to his power during the period of the Menkaa movement. The Issays group spread the rumour that there were up to one hundred and fifty CIA agents within the movement (Megiesteab Kidane 2005:49). For example Tewelde Tesfamariam, who joined from Hamburg in 1972, was wrongly killed as a CIA spy.
It was Tesfamichael Giorgio who first broke the news about the Kagnew deal in the Eritrea Liberation Front. He also presented a paper at the Massawa Symposium ’Secessionists and CIA Connection’ in 1982. This paper is available for public reference from: www.ehrea.org/TesfaMikegiorgioAmarina.pdf. It gives full coverage to the entire story and should be recommended reading for everyone.
In general, his hypocrisy of being Anti-American has existed for the last 40 years, and includes branding the US as the "historic enemy of the Eritrean people to manipulate and divert Eritreans from thinking about justice and democracy and to get support from them when he planned to crush dissidents.
The US and WEST is Isayas Afwrki's ONE TRICK PONY to Deceive Eritreans into Thinking that ONLY he is the PROTECTOR of ERITREA. When he has ALSO SAID :
