The legislation introduced in Ontario, Canada, against naming brigade-Nihamedu (BNH) as a terrorist organization has triggered my article below –
Allow me to express my humble opinion. However, I feel conflicted between what our young people are going through at home and their actions abroad. I feel and share the pain. It is not a criticism; I suggest moving our next fight phase from the streets to the offices. Many of our young people are getting injured, imprisoned, and even killed to stop festivals. A legislator in Ontario, Canada, has introduced legislation to label Brigade-Nihamedu as a terrorist organization due to public safety concerns. If there is anyone to criticize or blame, it is the ruthless regime of PFDJ I hold responsible. All responsibility lies on the regime because the desperate actions taken by the young Eritreans are the consequences, not the root cause of the matter. The regime of PFDJ is a violent system and has inflicted much harm on the Eritrean people and the nation. I am not pointing fingers at anyone in particular, and I cannot mention names.
These are simply my observations, and we can devise a formula to win the war and the battle in the end. What erupted in Gisein, Germany, a year ago, I wished, could have been the beginning and the end of the disruptions of PFDJ festivals, which were actions full of anger and emotions. There was a point made then in response to the long arm of the tyrant regime of Eritrea, but I wish we did not keep following the enemy forever and fall into their trap. The regime was exposed worldwide, and as our next move, we should have fought him on a diplomatic front. It is not too late to consider changing our directions.
Never follow a running army trying to corner them. When cornered, you have no choice but to fight your way out. Remember, in the civil war between Tigray and Federal troops of Ethiopia, TDF, after eradicating federal troops from Tigray, decided to follow them and reached Debre-Birhan without a clear plan, and in the end, they were back cornered in Tigray- they were winning the war but lost the battle. Why follow your enemy on the run? We ought to fight smart. Disrupting PFDJ festivities is not the main reason for our movement but rather our Human Rights violated: no constitution, no press, forced conscription, forced disappearances, unjustified imprisonment and incommunicado, forced immigrations, the nation in ruins, and so on.
I am not suggesting we stop fighting the authoritarian regime of PFDJ. I have never believed the PFDJ is a peaceful organization that believes in peace. It is a violent and brutal regime. We need to rethink and reorganize our effective strategies. There are other effective ways to challenge the regime than going behind festivals. PFDJ festivals are a bait to lure us into their fish hook. We are falling into their trap and getting attention from the real issues. They will schedule festivals repeatedly as long as we are chasing them.
What Could be the repercussions for clashing with law enforcement? Could it cause a backlash of its own? What does it mean when burning a police car, truck, or other objects in a host country that gave us a refugee? Are we sending the wrong messages about our movements seeking justice? What must the law enforcement and host nations do in Eritrean politics? It may seem we are scoring short-term disruptions for the PFDJ festivities, but in the long term, it will create nothing but hate and resentment among the Eritrean society. I regret to mention whether the opposition camp or government supporters are all equally Eritreans and victims of the system. No one is in a position to take our Eritrean citizenship.
If we were to succeed in changing the regime, we would have to live with the same people we are fighting today. Our focus and attention should be directed towards the government itself. The regime can be careless about who the violators or victims are. It simply ruined and sucked the blood of all Eritreans. I know many PFDJ supporters who are victimized by the regime. Many have been stripped of their lifetime savings, and many have become prisoners to guard their property, and some are trying to protect loved ones left behind. Most Eritreans, ninety percent in diaspora, and many back homestays on the sidelines for fear of ramifications, uncertainty, and lost confidence amid our divisions. Our focus on the ninety-percent silent majority could do better than chasing and re-baptizing PFDJ followers.
I have previously mentioned and written an article on how the regime lives and thrives in our divisions. Whether wittingly or unwittingly, we are realizing the regime’s wishes by Eritreans fighting with each other. Therefore, we must avoid trying to eat the bait used by the government; it is a trap and a ticking bomb set against our quest for democratic change. War is won with hearts and minds, not with arms. Soldiers need proper training and know-how, and politicians with sharp minds. In the book “The Art Of War,” you must try to win a war with minimum loss to you and the enemy. If you can win peacefully, why go to war? Killing many enemy soldiers or inflicting harm and causing hurt can only create long-term resentment.
I am worried about the long-term resentment among Eritrean society if we must exist as one nation in the future. That in itself has created divisions among many justice-seeking and political organizations. On the other hand, the Eritrean support to TDF/Tigray has galvanized and reverberated PFDJ supporters. PFDJ festivals were almost absolute before the Ethiopian civil war and the meddling of Eritrean troops in Tigray. Many Eritreans were sick and tired of the PFDJ festivals, including their followers.
During the civil war in Ethiopia, the support of some Eritreans for TDF sided with Tigray, and others in support of PFDJ stood with Ethiopia. Suddenly, many Eritrean youth, in fear of TDF winning against the troops of Eritrea and the nation, switched sides and joined the PFDJ camp. We have seen the festivals making a comeback worldwide. It angered the opposition camp with the emboldened arrogance of the regime. Yes, there was misinformation and disinformation and extortions of funds from the so-called government supporters. What could we have done wrong to lose these many youths to migrate to the opposition camp of PFDJ? Have we ever thought about why and how we can gain their trust? We must win the fight by making more friends, not enemies. Today, these many young PFDJ are becoming the front-line buffer zone for the regime. They are making our fight harder and longer. Let’s work on gaining the trust and support of the silent majority of Eritreans.
The regime of PFDJ was and still is suitable to operate in the dark; the more we divert our actions and minds away from the real issues and keep the society fighting at each other, the strategy used is a winning formula. We may think we are winning the war while losing the battle. In the justice-seeking camps, we were glad and hopeful for the rise of the youth joining the opposition movements as necessary. It needs to reform itself with clear direction and planned strategies. What are our goals in the end? How can we realize it? What are our strategies and winning plans to accomplish results? We must clarify our vision, mission, and objectives to succeed. Disrupting PFDJ festivals is not our result but rather to get rid of authoritarian regimes and establish a democratic nation based on democratic principles of constitution, human rights, and the rule of law. We must be guided by what we preach; if we believe in the rule of law, we must abide by others’ laws. I am not talking of the lawless PFDJ regime but rather the Western countries that gave refugees a second home away from home. They may be using the festivals as a source of revenue, but that is only minimal considering their other sources of income.
AP headlines in the Netherlands did not accurately display the intentions of the so-called “Eritrean Riots.”
Police cars torched during rioting between rival groups of Eritreans in the Netherlands (AP)-
On the same Saturday, AP in Charlotte, North Carolina headlines read- Charlotte protesters attack officers, set tractor-trailer on fire in a riot at Eritrean ‘cultural event.’ The fighting is the latest outbreak of violence at Eritrean events in Europe. In the past, Dozens of people, including at least 26 police officers, were injured during unrest surrounding Dozens of people, including at least 26 police officers, were injured during unrest surrounding an Eritrean cultural festival in the southwestern German city of Stuttgart in September 2023. A fight the same month between Eritrean government supporters and opponents in Tel Aviv led to violent street confrontations among African asylum-seekers and migrants.
Months earlier, a clash at an Eritrean festival in the western German city of Giessen left 22 police officers injured. Tens of thousands of people have fled Eritrea for Europe, many alleging the repressive government of President Isaias Afwerki mistreated them. The conflicts underscore deep divisions among members of the Eritrean diaspora between those who remain close to the government and those who have fled to live in exile and strongly oppose Isaias.

Our movements should not be associated with violence, injured police officers, burned cars, tracks, and buses. There should not be any injury or death inflicted on any Eritrean by another Eritrean on foreign soil. No one has the right to take anyone’s life for any valid reason. There is no justification for that to happen. When we are committed to the rule of law and democracy, we must follow them first. How painful it may sound, but we must respect others’ rule of law.
The Regime may be using the festivals as a means of revenue. That is very minute considering other sources of income. Forget the festivals for now and move onto the next phase of our fight to stop the illegal 2% taxes, work diligently for the closure of Embassies, target their money laundering activities, target corporations buying Eritrean minerals, Target PFDJ-owned businesses but represented by individuals, worldwide boycott and stop sending money home, create a strategic partnership with Eritrean troops, and many more to hurt their pocketbooks more than what they get as peanuts from the festivals.
The article below was written on November 11, 2023, and included unsolicited advice to Brigade-nihamedu. Did it possibly fail to receive attention, or was it just overlooked?
The National Representative Council of Eritrea-GIE ( NRCE-GIE )
Greetings to all Eritrean citizens,
Your government in exile, the National Representative Council of Eritrea-GIE, had an engaging and busy schedule last month. Our guide was achievability and pragmatic matters because NRCE-GIE is no longer in activism but in actionism.
LETTER OF CONDOLENCES
We delivered a letter of condolences to the government of Israel for losing many innocent lives. Without taking any sides in their internal politics, the NRCE-GIE of Eritrea condemns violence in all shapes and forms, including the loss of innocent children. We advise all Eritreans to refrain from taking sides and making unnecessary comments on social media. We pray and hope for a permanent and peaceful resolution between Israel and the state of Palestine. For Eritrean asylum seekers in Israel, it is appropriate to assist the society in any necessary ways possible.
NRCE-GIE WENT TO WASHINGTON, DC.
NRCE-GIE had an important meeting with a powerhouse in Washington, DC, with an NSC clearance last week. After initial virtual conferences, we were extended further discussions at their prestigious office in Washington, DC. It was productive and eye-opening. Overall, we were mesmerized by their knowledge of Eritrea, Ethiopia, and the HOA issues.
Our demands were specific, concise, and unambiguous. Yes, they have asked about Eritrean fragmented political parties in the diaspora. Can the nine regions of Eritrea live together in peace and harmony? Our simple answer was yes, including two major religions: Christianity and Islam. We have proposed a type of administration we have planned, with regional administrations and central government, where every minority and indigenous society is treated equally under the constitution. We saw our diversity as our strength. We are the tent for all religions, minorities, and the indigenous.
We assured them we were the real deal and could create a peaceful and orderly change in Eritrea. We believe, with all our heart and soul, to bridge that needed link home. We are capable and confident to take the fight home. We mean what we say and be accountable for it. If there is a change in Eritrea, we assured them we are in the lead to materializing and realizing that change. We agreed to meet again soon for a follow-up.
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
Where do we go from here? With or without our help, the Isaias regime will soon cease to exist. Who is the replacement? Could it be one of his generals or from homeland security? Could it be his son, Abraham? Can Eritrea fall into gridlock, deadlock, and anarchy? Can the military take over the country? Can there be unwanted internal or external actors watching? We are Deviceing and strategizing what the change and future of Eritrea should look like after Isaias. We need orderly, organized, and peaceful change in Eritrea. We do not deserve a transition where we could miss the authoritarian regime. There are sharks in our waters and vultures in the skies of Eritrea, post-change, internal and external. Therefore, we must plan beyond what is popular but what is real.
ERISAT SYMPOSIUM WEEK,
NRCE-GIE participated in the ERISAT Symposium, representing NRCE-GIE. We participated in the political panel discussions by Mr. Kharar Ayibu-Ali from Erisat. We believed it was engaging and educational. It was a civil discussion. We covered many vital issues of similarities and differences. Due to lack of time, some crucial topics remained untouched, including the issue of Brigade-Nihamedu. We needed more time to discuss this in depth.
FOLLOW-UP INTERVIEW WITH ERISAT
Therefore, we met again at the ERISAT platform for a follow-up discussion, especially regarding ( ማዕበል መንእሰያት )Brigade-Nihamedu. The moderator was Journalist Daniel from ERISAT. We all agreed on our support for the vibrant youth movement, Brigade-Nihamedu. NRCE-GIE explained the need for transformation and thoroughly sharpened the target and direction of the system. Yes, the rootless system of PFDJ does not believe in dialog or diplomacy but rather violence. So, we must fight it with all means necessary because a ruthless regime is all about violence.
We have been passive for so long to the point of being submissive out of fear of retribution. It is time to stand up and face the system aggressively since no other word in its vocabulary sounds peaceful.
NRCE-GIE’S IMPORTANT PROPOSALS for “ማዕበል መንእሰያት” Brigade-Nihamedu
1- To actively engage in the closure of Eritrean Embassies worldwide for what they stand for, spy on their citizens, collect unlawful taxes and deal in money laundering.
2- Follow the money. Target Corporations and countries that do business with the lawless regime of Eritrea, including countries buying minerals from Eritrea.
We know of some and expose them on the world stage for their hypocrisy. We must choke its source of income.
3- Stop PFDJ Hawala’s transactions, which are run primarily by the dictator’s office, and follow the line down to all his generals, colonels, and collaborators.
4- Target the interests of the individuals who run businesses for PFDJ abroad.
Target the interests and businesses of the big fishes of the system who are
Invested worldwide, be it in the US, Africa, or the Middle East.
5- Use what we call a “Nuclear Option.” We are funding the government with our pocketbook. STOP, STOP, and STOP sending money home. We have explained that over 80% of our money goes to the authoritarian system. It is an aggressive move not to starve our families but to starve the system.
6- NRCE-GIE believes our fight must escalate to the next stage, home, and into the boxing arena, where the real action must occur. Here, it requires the expertise of NRCE-GIE. Please reach out.
7- Create a strategic partnership with the Eritrean military against the regime and use it to our benefit. Do not take our word. The proof is in the Coup of Mali, Burundi, Burkina Faso, and Niger states. We can establish a hybrid, democratic form of government based on democratic principles.
8- Devise and strategize what the change and future of Eritrea should look like after Isaias. We need orderly, organized, and peaceful change in Eritrea. There are sharks in our waters and vultures in the skies of Eritrea, post-change, internal and external. Therefore, we must plan beyond what is popular but what is real.
9- “ማዕበል መንእሰያት” Brigade-Nihamedu must be independent and stir-free from all sorts of influences and dependency. If we let vines grow and wrap on a healthy tree, it will sack the life of the giant tree. Through time, the tree gradually rots and dies because of growing vines.
10- The Eritrean problem only deserves Eritrean solutions. It is a crucial point. The famous quote from the former charge de affair, Ambassador Steven Walker, said, “The Eritrean people must decide the Eritrean future. Let’s not mix and match Eritrean political solutions with others.
11- Follow and abide by all laws based on the country of residence. We fight to restore law and order; therefore, we must do what we preach. Democracy does not pick and choose based on the ideology of a citizen. We must respect our differences as a long-term and winning strategy. It is bittersweet, but we must be embarrassed.
12- Change can only occur inside the grounds of Eritrea; therefore, our success depends on how we formulate the link home. History has been our witness for the last thirty-something years without materializing any change. As the saying goes, ‘What happened in Vegas, stays in Vegas”. Our fight outside can only remain outside without a proper link home.
COMMITTEE NRCE-GIE
Ghebre Bahdurai, CEO
The article below was written by Professor Araya Debesay on December 26, 2023, as unsolicited advice sent to the Administration of Brigade-Nihamedu ( BNH). Could that also be ignored?
Unsolicited Advice to Brighed N’Hamedu (BNH)
Araya Debessay,
Introduction. The birth of Brighed N’Hamedu (BNH) in Cologne, Germany, in 2022 has dramatically energized justice-seeking Eritrean youth in the Diaspora. It has been one of the current encouraging developments. The BNH slogan from” Diaspora to Asmara” has given renewed hope and fresh air to all who aspire to see regime change in Eritrea. This grassroots movement spread like wildfire in many parts of the world and has achieved spectacular successes in foiling the dictatorial regime’s fund-raising festivals in several European countries, the US, Canada, Israel, Australia, and some African countries. It is felt inside “the belly of the beast” when BNH youth left graffiti on the main building of the PFDJ office in Asmara, declaring, “We Stand with Brighed N’Hamedu.”
More importantly, it has exposed the true nature of this despotic regime for all the world to see. As a result, many countries in Europe have decided to ban Eritrean government-sponsored festivals that are designed to spread hate speeches and brainwashing propaganda. As a result, many countries have made it difficult for the government of Eritrea to collect the 2% tax it has been imposing on Diaspora Eritreans. BNH, by its admission, is a “direct action group” whose objective is regime change and has recognized the need for an overarching Political Body. This Political Body will give legal advice and guidance to the direct action group. More importantly, the same Political Body is supposed to serve as a legitimate representative of BNH and all other justice-seeking, pro-democracy Eritreans Diaspora.
The Need for the Formation of a Political Body.
One of the glaring weaknesses of Eritrean opposition groups in the Diaspora has been and continues to be the lack of a legitimate Body that has the mandate to speak on behalf of those who have been opposed to the dictatorial regime in Asmara. So far, Eritreans in the Diaspora have been operating in a fragmented manner that has proved ineffective in bringing about positive political changes in the country. Countries that are sympathetic to the plight of the Eritrean people need a representative group that can speak and act on behalf of the Eritrean people.
To this end, forming a Body that can speak for all pro-democracy and justice-seeking Eritreans in the Diaspora and who can provide BNH guidance and legal and financial support is long overdue. More importantly, diplomatic and lobbying efforts will go a long way to make the slogan from “Diaspora to Asmara” a reality. The need for this representative Body is becoming more critical and urgent now, given the risk of the Abiy Government that is poised not only to annex the coastal areas of Eritrea but is also threatening to obliterate Eritrea as a sovereign nation. Hence, in light of this dark cloud hovering over Eritrea, Diaspora Eritreans in the opposition camp should urgently form a Body that can speak on their behalf and save their country.
Make BNH a Formidable Force.
My first advice to BNH is to make BNH a formidable force through an intensive registration campaign. BNH has attracted the attention of Eritrean youth all over the world. As they say, “Strike the iron while it is hot.” Don’t lose the momentum! Urge those who support BNH and are eager to play a role in changing the regime to register and be part of the BNH movement. The Eritrean opposition media outlets should also actively participate in the registration campaign. It can be done expeditiously through an online registration process.
There are Eritrean IT professionals who will help design an online registration process to ensure the registrants’ confidentiality. Membership fees should be charged to those who can afford them. A control mechanism should be created to weed out agents of the regime who may try to infiltrate BNH. It can be done quickly by forming a BNH task force to monitor and verify the authentication of those registered in every locality. Hence, concerns about government agents infiltrating the registration process should not deter the process of conducting an intensive registration process.
Election of a Legitimate Representative Body.
Once the registration process is over, an Election Committee should be formed reasonably to conduct elections. The Election Committee should establish criteria for nominations and encourage the registered members to nominate individuals with the caliber, experience, and integrity to serve as a representative body. The Election Committee should also promote self-nomination for those with the qualifications and the passion to serve as members of the usual group. The Election Committee should determine details on the number to be elected.
After a reasonable time for nominations and campaigning, elections should be conducted democratically and transparently online on a one-person, one-vote basis. The Election Committee should devise an alternative mechanism for those who do not have access to the Internet. It is also crucial for the Election Committee to ensure that the elected Body reflects the diversity of the Eritrean population by having the discretion to exercise positive affirmative action.
It must be remembered that a Facilitating Body that has been formed by members of Kufut Meadi Zete and other activist groups whose goal is to create an Eritrean National Force for Democratic Change (ENFDC) has been making presentations on the need and the process of how to form the ENFDC. The role of the ENFDC, as presented in the documents of the Facilitating Body, which I have listed below, with slight modification, should be the role of the Political Body of BNH. Hence, the BNH should contact the Kufut Meadi Zete Facilitating Body to collaborate on electing the Political Body.
What Should the Role of the Political Body be?
The primary goal of the Political Body should be:
(a) To help map out an effective strategy to expedite Eritrea’s transformation into a democratic nation.
(b) To represent BNH and all justice-seeking, pro-democracy Diaspora Eritreans – in any national, regional, or international forum – be it at the African Union, United Nations,
European Union, and the Arab League, etc.
(c) To speak with one voice to the International Community on behalf of the Eritrean people.
(d) To conduct diplomatic efforts and lobbying, particularly with governments such as the United States and the various governments in Europe and Africa, to support the Eritrean people.
(e) To help prepare the groundwork required for an orderly transition to democratic rule in the aftermath of regime change. The representative body will also be expected to help design a Transition Charter to ensure a smooth transition to democratic rule.
(f) To establish a constitutional government by drafting and preparing draft codes for the forthcoming Constitutional organs.
(g) The Political Body should be able to raise funds through registration fees, soliciting financial help from well-to-do Eritrean professionals and business people to cover the Political Body’s and BNH’s operating expenses and provide financial assistance to the forces of change inside the country. In addition, the Political Body should approach NGOs, governments, and International Organizations that provide funding to promote democracy. The Political Body should mainly come from countries that are concerned about the possible influx of Eritrean refugees.
(h) Another critical role of the Political Body is to partner with the UNHCR and other international organizations to assist Eritrean refugees facing extreme hardship in Sudan, Libya, Ethiopia, and other countries.
(i) One additional important responsibility of the Political Body should also be to reach out to every justice-seeker Eritrean and encourage them to join the BNH movement.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the time has come for BNH, in collaboration with all those who share the same aspiration, to form a legitimate body with the mandate to represent justice-seeking, pro-democracy Diaspora Eritreans. This Body is what BNH and all other justice-seeking Eritreans need to achieve regime change in Eritrea. I hope and trust the process outlined in this unsolicited advice will go a long way in achieving our collective dream – transforming Eritrea into a democratic nation.
During The First BNH Symposium in Dallas, we presented seven points of advice to BNH on sight but have never been given any attention. We are crying to help reform and our movements to succeed. I remember how popular and significant the youth movements of Simret, YIAKL, and now BNH were. We are not to squander this youth movement of BNH due to mishandling and improper planning.
Below, I would like to introduce you to Melissa Lantsman, Thornhill Conservative Caucasus Ontario. She introduced legislation to designate Brigade-Nihamedu as a Terrorist Organization in Canada.

Canadians of Eritrean descent are law-abiding and peaceful citizens who value faith and the importance of family; Since the 1980s they have peacefully celebrated their heritage by attending significant cultural and sports events held in public parks with broad support from municipalities and elected officials across the country; The Eritrean diaspora has recently become the new front line in violent attacks by political groups; Late last summer this came to a boil, when rioters calling themselves the Brigade N’hamedu or Brigade of Death, made international headlines by attacking and injuring attendees at events held in Toronto, Edmonton and Calgary; Over 30 people were transported to the hospital, some in serious condition suffering from stab wounds, head trauma and spinal fractures; The right to political expression is enshrined in the charter, but when the tone or position is expressed in violence, Canadians demand their government act to ensure law and order are enforced; Today, many Canadians of Eritrean origin feel unsafe in places where they work, celebrate, and worship; and Police authorities have charged a total of 24 members of the Brigade with over 47 Criminal Code violations and in Edmonton the riot act was read-the first time since 1999.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to
1. Designate foreign political groups who engage in violence as terrorist entities under the Criminal Code of Canada, and
2. Provide support so Canadians of Eritrean descent wishing to gather peacefully in places of public trust can do so safely.

To rebut the above accusations and other self-caused reasons is, I believe, a waste of our precious time and resources. We are the victims of the Eritrean regime, so we should seek the support of legislators and bring law officers to our camp. We are considered a safety hazard and violators of the law by our actions.
Massive youth movements were the missing recipe in fighting the Eritrean regime for a long time. We were encouraged by the birth of BNH, which gave us hope for the next phase of our fight against the tyrant of Eritrea. We need the youth to stand against the authoritarian regime because they are the future of the country. It is time to consider reform, reorganize, and resharpen a winning plan. Can we fight smart with hearts and minds? Can we plan it through and devise our road map to the finish line? I have doubts and reservations about our style of actions as it is now- going after festivals, we are implementing a winning formula. If we do not change our methods to fight the regime, we might be shooting on our feet, going to jail, getting injured, and sending the wrong messages against our interests, and we might be wasting precious time and resources as well. We must avoid self-inflicted wounds at any cost.
