The EPLF leaders that the PFDJ wants to erase from history

Mahmoud Sherifo (1993) and Petros Solomon (1994), Foreign Ministers then, heading the Eritrean delegations at the UN. The EPLF leaders that the PFDJ wants to erase from history. I watched  a program of the Tigray Region on EBC (Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation) yesterday commomerating the begining of the TPLF where the names and pictures of two dissidents from the TPLF (Gedey Zeratzion a Tigriyan of Eritrean origin and Aregawi Berhe) in the early 1980s were shown, as part of the history of the TPLF. But the PFDJ has never mentioned the names or shown any pictures of the G15. What a contrast! What a distortion of history! When both Gedey and Aregawi disagreed with the TPLF and argued for their opinions for more than a month and were 'defeated' intellectually, they were provided with enough money a vehicle that took them to Kassala. What a civilized act.
