I just read this #bbcnews Tigrinya interview, an unmediated account of #Afghanistan as viewed by an #Ethiopian, who lived there for 5 yrs. It's on #Afghan culture, tradition, livelihood, source of the grave fear triggered as #Taliban seized the capital.

Stop the forceful deportation process of Alem & Kibrom from #Egypt to the #Eritrea|n regime they fled from. It violates the 1951 Geneva Convention & 1967 Protocol Document.#FreeAlem #FreeKibrom #JusticeForAlemAndKibrom @UNHumanRights @Amnesty @EgyptEmbassyUSA @ICRC

still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

I love to share #jalaludin Rumi's poem [#TheGuest house] with our good friends in #Afganisthan, help them focus on and maintain their #innerpeace to overcome the challenging situation they're encountering. I am sure, they have many more of the 13th-century Persian poet & mystic.

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,

Intermediaries of #migration can take many forms including smugglers and placement agencies. They have micro and macro impacts on people, labour markets, policy and more. Learn how MIDEQ explores intermediaries in the context of #southsouthmigration https://t.co/LTTQq1Ywcb

As its title implies, ‘The Other War’ shows the complexity and catastrophe of the long Ethiopian colony on the life and culture of the Eritrean society on the one hand, and the endeavor of the Eritreans to preserve their identity and secure their generational future on the other.

The The Other War

Alemseged Tesfai ’s famous full-length play, The other war - Eti kal'e kunat, was produced in Sahl, in 1984. And its extracted version, [as viewed by the directors] was produced in a 6 min videography in November 2020.

Towards the end of the play, Letiesus takes the child Kitaw with her as she decides to join the EPLF to show Eritrea’s next-generation's safety, continuity and grows up in ‘Sahl’ Eritrea’s stronghold of the time, with the spirit and identity of Eritreannness.
