Tsedale is making profound point. I have been saying this same thing. The people should decide who governs them. This will stop the war.

Tamerat addresses root cause and brings Eritrea to the discussion

Te'amrat puts flesh to the economic impact that we all know.

Alex gives context

Must watch indeed!
