Members of Executive Committee of EPLF 1977–1987 standing: Ogbe Abraha, Ali Said Abdella, Sebhat Efrem, Haile Woldetinsae, Petros Solomon, Mohammed Said Bareh, Mesfin Hagos, Al-Amin Mohammed Said Sitting: Berhane Gherezgiher, Ibrahim Afa, Romedan Mohammed Nur, Isaias Afewerki, Mahmoud Shrifo


Isaias Afewerki had 12 colleagues in the Exec. Committee; 6 Christian Kebessans and 6 Muslim lowlanders. He eliminated 87% of his Christian Kebessan colleagues in that committee. All but one of his chrisitan Kebessan colleagues have been purged . Only one out of his six Christian Kebessan colleagues, Sebhat Efrem, stack with him. The numbers are actually scary. He has purged or exiled 87% of his Kebesa / Tigrigna colleagues!!!!

On the other hand, he has purged only 1 Muslim lowlander member of the comm., i.e, Mahmoud Sherifo. The rest 87% of Muslim members of the committee died before or after independence or are still alive. Two died after independence and were given state funeral. Two are still alive and accompany him on some national holidays.

If IA has eliminated 87% of his Kebessa / Tigrigna colleagues, a lot questions crop up as the analysis of the numbers uncovers a lot of information.

Why did he perceive 87% of of his Tigrigna colleagues in the committee were against him?
Why were 87% of his Tigrigna colleagues in the committee against him?
What did they want to change?
What do the numbers tell us?

87% of his Christian colleagues were against him while 87% of his Muslim colleagues were not. Why so big difference between his Muslim / lowlander colleagues and Christian / Tigrigna colleagues.

We can also see that 25% of his colleagues in the picture have officially been declared as died during struggle or after independence. Only 3 are still in good terms with him. 50% of his colleagues have been purged or exiled by him!!! Does that mean 50% of the EPLF Exec. comm. are traitors? 50% of EPLF Exec comm. were working for the Weyanes? I will list more questions later.
