Shabait

Every year in the month of August, the Expo grounds in Asmara host an annual national festival, where Eritreans from within the country and abroad as well as foreigners come. All Eritreans come together in unison and one heart for the annual pilgrimage and become a part of the cultural shows and various innovative exhibitions displayed all over the grounds. 

This New Year, Dimtsi Hafash (Voice of the Broad Masses) commemorated its 31st anniversary and its notable achievements since its establishment have been showcased through a photo exhibition that was displayed at The Gallery, Asmara from 31 December 2009 to 5 January 2010. The event simultaneously highlighted the various stages through which Dimtsi Hafash passed through and as well as the achievements of the photograph department in effectively documenting the events and building an invaluable archive.

A self-styled Nevada codebreaker convinced the CIA he could decode secret terrorist targeting information sent through Al Jazeera broadcasts, prompting the Bush White House to raise the terror alert level to Orange (high) in December 2003, with Tom Ridge warning of "near-term attacks that could either rival or exceed what we experience on September 11," according to a new report.

Post Colonial and Cultural War in Africa

The African family and society at large is the foundation of our civilization. For example, Eritrean traditional and customary laws were written, documented and well preserved since 1145. The right of every member of the society including the right of animals and plants is well documented. Do not get me wrong every thing which is traditional does not mean it is right. The respect for elders, (women and men), the respect for religious and community leaders, the respect for animals and plants used are only some of the traditional values that should be cherished.

PARTI

European scholars of the 17th and the 18th century had very little knowledge of Africa and the Africans. Eurocentric ideologies classified civilizations as oral and written to justify the unjustifiable racist ideologies of the 17th and the 18th century. Africans were subjugated to slavery, genocide and crime against humanity in the name of Christianity and written civilization.

Vast sums of money are being lavished by Western aid agencies on their own officials in Afghanistan at a time when extreme poverty is driving young Afghans to fight for the Taliban. The going rate paid by the Taliban for an attack on a police checkpoint in the west of the country is $4, but foreign consultants in Kabul, who are paid out of overseas aids budgets, can command salaries of $250,000 to $500,000 a year.
