Power Play: Tigrai Beating Eritrea

From Welcome to Asmarino Independent. Tue Nov 27 2012, 22:13:48

Ethiopia is busy investing in multi-billion dollar projects, while we are peppered with miniscule projects in Eritrea that have no impact on short and long term well-being and prosperity of Eritrea.  Most of the Eritrean projects advertised on ERITV are designed to deceive Eritreans into thinking that there is economic progress in Eritrea, while in reality most are band-aid projects that don't have usage life longer than one or two years.  For instance, those micro-dams that we are repeatedly told about fill quickly with sediments within two years that they no longer hold significant amount of water.  These are NOT one of those build once and use forever with little maintenance projects, but are high maintenance projects that become neglected as quickly as they come into use.  Good luck finding these types of neglected projects on ERITV.
