Conversation with Dr. Tajedin N. Yousif

“I Think it’s Important, when we think of Art, to Realize
how Connected it is to Everything.”

By: Sona Berhane
Were you artistic from a young age?
I believe so. I went to a good school as a child. The curriculum included a 90-minute per week art period. The school was well equipped with all kinds of art supplies. That gave me a chance to experiment with painting and be active.
After that I continued my learning at the Institute of Education for four years. That’s when I developed an interest in children’s art and children’s psychology – the two are deeply interlinked. Later on, I joined the College of Fine and Applied Art.

Eritrea From Victim to a Key Player
In the Geopolitics of the Horn

Presented on the Multi-Disciplinary Dialogue on
“Justice, Development and the Geopolitics of the Horn”
4th – 6th September 2024 Asmara, Eritrea

Introduction
The countries of the Horn of Africa are creations of geopolitical manoeuvring of colonial powers in the late 19th Century. This fact might be unpalatable for some to swallow but swallow we must. The people of the region have paid dearly for the misadventures of their leaders, intent on realizing fantasies of grandeur fabricated from myths of mist existing only in the imagination of pseudo-historians. If we are to break free from the cycle of war, poverty and…

Présenté sur le dialogue multidisciplinaire sur
“Justice, développement et géopolitique de la corne”
4th – 6th septembre 2024
Ministère de la Justice
Asmara, Érythrée

INTRODUCTION
Les pays de la Corne de l’Afrique sont le fruit des manœuvres géopolitiques des puissances coloniales à la fin du19ème siècle. Ce fait peut être désagréable à avaler pour certains, mais nous devons l’avaler. Les peuples de la région ont payé cher les mésaventures de leurs dirigeants, désireux de réaliser des fantasmes de grandeur fabriqués à partir de mythes de brume n’existant que dans l’imagination de pseudo-historiens. Si nous voulons sortir du cycle de la guerre, de la pauvreté et de l’arriération qui a frappé notre région, nous devons, dans la mesure du possible, regarder en face la réalité de notre histoire, sans craindre les squelettes dans le placard…

Ethiopian war crimes against the Eritrean people

The Ethiopian regimes that have ruled in Addis Ababa since the era of feudal regime of Haile Selassie, the military junta led by the dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam and the ethnic regime of Meles Zenawi, have committed war crimes against the Eritrean people, embodied in practicing a policy of genocide, displacing the people, destroying cities, burning villages, destroying the economy, killing livestock, etc., and no apology has been offered to the Eritrean people to this day, let alone providing compensation. Today we review the book “Awna and Beskedera” by the writer Nazari Ab Azazi, which was published in December 2024.
