Eritrea is Africa's most closed society and most fiercely authoritarian state. Its President Isaias Afwerki has been president for almost 30 years and is considered one of the continent's most gifted and ruthless strategists. As both Somalia and Ethiopia convulse, the now not so hidden hand of Eritrea's leader has become increasingly apparent as Eritrea very effectively leverages limited resources but deep experience into a disproportionate impact on the entire Horn of Africa. The Elephant in conversation with Matt Bryden.

Isaias afwerki of Eritrea history will remember now and later, He refused white people to tell him like Matt. Thats Africa big story to tell Eritrean never never support al Shabab group but Somalia political independence against many actors. thats absolutely noble cause. Thanks for Eritrea what ever hardship.

It is not like you say. In 2000-2002 Isaias begged the USA to set up bases in Assab. Right now Isaias government depends on UN and other donors support . Post 2000 the relocation of Eritrean, the reconstruction and the rehabilitation was done with EU and USAID funds. So please stop with this thing of Isaias standing up for Africa etc..... It is not the case at all. He has turned out to be yet an other egotistical, selfish, delusional leader.

Of course they've to find ways of discrediting Eritrea for standing with the Somali to determine their own future. This devil here is falsely portraying the Islamic Courts as Al Shabab. A factual twist that's riding on the ignorance of the IC that doesn't understand the difference.

This guy is wanted in Somalia and Somali court ordered his return to the country so he can fight his case in court , he claims he was doing something good for the Somali people in the name humanitarian but turns out his company was only getting highly sensitive information that could put Somalia’s national security in a critical position, he lived in Kenya but he’s Canadian, if you are Somali you should know that a foreigner with money behind him and not a country can have many many agenda, and can’t be trusted with such, he also hired 1 Somali guy and that one Somali guy his father was killed by the Somali army because he was a terrorist so I let you do the maths watch universal TV, SNTV or any other Somalia news you will understand 26/10/2021

Bryden may not be commandeering a mechanized infantry, but he’s literally a warlord if you want me to be a little too blunt,” said Abdisamad, who recently accused Bryden’s organization, Sahan Research, of attempts to assassinate him. “Bryden wakes up every morning to try to find a way he can create more chaos and divisions in the Horn of Africa, especially in Somalia, Ethiopia and Eritrea. “He can cant about his love for Somalia and can make millions of excuses for that, but he’s in reality the biggest enemy Somalia and the larger region have at this juncture,” Abdisamad said. In 2016, a report from Fartaag Consulting, urged the Somali parliament’s security committee to investigate the activities and presence of Bryden’s organization, Sahan, a call that was only acted on after President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo came to power. “Sahan Research is a clear example of foreign consultants’ abusive power, mismanagement and lack of transparency in Somalia,” said the report dubbed “Breaking Point in Somalia: How state failure was financed and by whom.” People who know or worked with Bryden paint a picture of a carpetbagger who is devoid of principle and is being debauched by personal and financial interests. “He can be used against anyone, even against the international community,” said a former staff member of Sahan Research, who described the organization’s toxic working environment in which views critical of the President “Farmajo” were encouraged, while individuals who expressed views perceived to be sympathetic to the government’s were reprimanded or fired. "Still, Bryden’s Nairobi-based disinformation factory - in fact an army of hundreds of cyber warriors, trolls and staff members, some of them misleadingly calling themselves researchers and analysts - still continues to daily churn out fake news, derogatory caricatures, poppycock passed off as analysis and a torrent of tweets denigrating top officials and policies in Somalia, Ethiopia and Eritrea." “Somali activists with genuine interest in the wellbeing of their country simply reject the disinformation machine that Bryden and his trolls want others to believe,” said Sanei, the PhD student in Ohio. “Those Somali activists who monitor the media are not all pro-government people. To say otherwise is to insult Somalis’ intelligence.” www.thesstar.com/matt-bryden-the-british-warlord-destabilizing-somalia-ethiopia-and-eritrea-with-his-nairobi-based-disinformation-factory-sahan/

The war that we fought for 20+ years wasn’t with the narrow clique Tplf , it was with the west. Is it because the Tplf minority group that ruled Ethiopia for the last 27 years was a democratic one? Who killed millions of Innocent Ethiopians ? Why did the west chose to give a deaf ear? It’s not only Eritrea that detest the do this and don’t do that policy of the greedy imperialist west ,but the whole world. The world will never forget the blood 🩸 the greedy ones shed in Iraq,Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria,Libya and in other parts of the world. The arrogance will have an end like any thing. Had president Isaias of Eritrea been a corrupt leader that makes friendship with the greedy corporates at the expense of the millions of Eritreans ,you would NEVER brand him a dictator.The host is an African who works for the greedy corporates media and it really hurts.

It's unfortunate that the 'journalist' who is from the region 'doesn't know much about Eritrea or Ethiopia' and calls upon an ex military guy from afar to give his 'expert opinion'. Good job, both! It's funny and worrisome how some people make a living out of the sufferings and distresses of other people, who are struggling to make their daily bread in their own backyard. But then, what do I know, I'm only from the regt and I don't much about it. Please keep educating us and the rest of the world. One thing though, it's really interesting how an expert would say so many outrageous things about a leader of a country, no matter who. How can one sleep at night after such a demagogic and extremely dangerous 'interview' with a passionate intent to destroy a proud but poor nation? God speed.

Its disappointing to see John falling for this trap and gimmick. No matter the amount of money he was offered he should've stood for his integrity. We have info that this was paid by Sahan and the questions prepared by Matt himself. How else would John have arrived at those conclusions about Eritrea as a starter? Its sad and foolish to think that we wouldn't understand this from the outset. Isn't it funny that Matt keeps referring to Eritrea bordering the Gulf of Aden🤣🤣 John, please dm me - we've got to bring this bashing of Eritrea using disinformation to an end!

I have opened this video to look what it is saying about Eritrea. I found out that this guy seems to have little knowledge except the negative narrative that is promoted by the TPLF and consumed by the Western corporate media for quite a long period of time. For God's - those who want to know about Eritrea don't believe what ever this guy has said. Try to look for other alternative sources - It would be very good if you you come for yourself or seek first hand information from those who have visited Eritrea. This is misinforming people.

The main evil in Eritrea has been done by Isaias ego and his failure to realise that once TPLF was in power in Ethiopia the relationship changed and TPLF was no longer the junior partner. Isaias had options on how to respond to the situation in 2000 instead he chose to arrest the very people who were offering options that were solely focused on militarisation, enslavement and impoverishment of the country. He also imprisoned, disappeared the people who could have given a report as to the conduct of the war in 2000 and highlight the fact that Isaias interference caused us many lives. Please note that the only reason Assab remained within Eritrea is because Eritrean youth disobeyed his orders to withdraw.
