1. Today’s guest speaker of Hagerawi NiKhat paltalk/tele-conference was Hagos “Kisha” Gherehiwet, #PFDJ’s head of economic affairs and the SECOND MOST POWERFUL person in the country. Thanks to the quarantine, both rooms had the maximum attendees, according @hadnetkeleta.

2. As warm up Kisha started with the enemy. (Because the party can’t survive without an enemy) #TPLF is weakened but still poses a threat. With developments in regional relations things have improved, but still there are existential #Eritrea'n enemies. CC: @SirakBahlbi

3.On failures and incompetence of administrations inside the country? Solution: More discipline. Re-opening the Cadre school has been among the priorities but suspended due to the pandemic. Bottomline: #PFDJ believes training more cadres would solve all crisis. CC: @saayEritrea

4.Although the plan was to discuss the economic situation of the country, due to the current crisis, he focused on #COVID19Pandemic. Then he delved into #PFDJ’s unique strategy and how this can apply in combating the pandemic.

5.On release of prisoners of conscience? He laughed at it and bluntly, “We do not have ears for that.” According to Kisha, that is part of the greater anti-Eritrea’s psychological warfare. Good luck with all petitions and calls from rights organizations. CC: @vanessatsehaye

6.On Jack Ma’s ( @AlibabaGroup) alleged rejection of the medical equipment, (without mentioning by name): “We do not accept offers unless we ask for it. But we won’t allow to be dumping site.” He clarified it during Q & A session: Yes, they rejected it! CC: @meronina @Prof_Awet

7.Q: "How do we explain ( @AlibabaGroup's) as our enemies might manipulate it?” He reiterated: “We don’t want to be dependents on others unless it is mutual.” He further explained the conflict with #EU and why #Eritrea’n gov has been persistent on administrating the funds itself.

8.Q. from a guest on Sawa and crowded prisons: Kisha's reply, “Sawa is the best place for quarantine. No one is leaving and entering Sawa. Prisons are the best secluded places at this time.” Subtly he dismissed the call to release prisoners. CC: @SamuelTsegai1

9.Q. “How is the leadership and “wedi-Afom” in particular doing?”

Kisha—“We are all doing well and [Wedi-Afom] is doing well and daily communicating and leading the pandemic.”

10.If you were wondering what else they discussed in 1:35 long session? The usual propaganda, "unity," "challenges," "enemies," (including the paid ones like myself).

11. Last but not least, thank you @Ghidewon for diligently proving the English summary as usual. (I will return soon on how you failed to pay your 2% taxes for years until you were called out as "bad example.") CC: @sophia_Tesfamariam_NU_US (paltalk handle as she blocked me)
