The G‑15: Silver Jubilee of Courage – Awate.com (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I. Twenty‑Five Years After September 18, 2001A Reform Movement Unlike Any Other The G‑15’s emergence less than ten years after independence is not merely an episode in Eritrea’s political history; it is an anomaly in the global tradition of liberation‑movement governance. Movements that come to power through militarized struggle, revolutionary mythology, and single‑party dominance do not produce internal reformers in a decade — they usually do not produce them at all. Although I was familiar wit
A Patriot in a Nation of Nationalists: The Legacy of Teklenkiel Gebru – Awate.com (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Eritrea’s political crisis has always been inseparable from its intellectual and moral crisis. A society that loses its culture of reason, inquiry, critical thinking, and the relentless pursuit of truth inevitably drifts toward degradation, stagnation, and, in time, a slow weathering away.

Most were collaborative and generous with their time, and I remain deeply grateful to them. Their willingness to engage allowed me to see the landscape from their vantage point and better understand t
PART II — The Moment the Ghedli Lost Its Soul – Awate.com (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Rise of the Hybrid Fighter and the Triumph of Organization The moral rupture that began in the late 1970s did not merely alter recruitment practices; it reshaped the very identity of the Eritrean fighter. This third part examines the rise of the hybrid combatant—the Gifufgadlai—and the organizational logic that ultimately replaced moral agency with obedience. It traces how this transformation cast a long shadow over independence and continues to shape Eritrea’s political imagination today. I
