The year was 1952. A year which will live in infamy. The decolonization of Africa that granted African countries their independence was taking place. However, Eritrea, a country that should have become an independent state during the decolonization process, was forced to become a colony of Africa's newest Neo-colony, Ethiopia. In the same year, ships carrying food-aid destined to Ethiopia started arriving at Eritrean ports as a form of payment to the mercenaries hired to occupy the sacred Eritrean lands and to exterminate its blameless people.
But God was watching.
(ትንቢተ ኤርምያስ 29:18)
የሠራዊት ጌታ እግዚአብሔር እንዲህ ይላል። እነሆ፥ ሰይፍንና ራብን ቸነፈርንም እሰድድባቸዋለሁ፥ ከክፋቱም የተነሣ ይበላ ዘንድ እንደማይቻል እንደ ክፉ በለስ አደርጋቸዋለሁ። በሰይፍም በራብም በቸነፈርም አሳዳድዳቸዋለሁ፥ ባሳደድሁባቸውም አሕዛብ ሁሉ ዘንድ ለጥላቻና ለመደነቂያ ለማፍዋጫም ለመሰደቢያም እንዲሆኑ በምድር መንግሥታት ሁሉ ዘንድ ለመበተን አሳልፌ እሰጣቸዋለሁ።
(Jeremiah 29:18) I will pursue them with the sword, famine and plague and will make them abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth, a curse and an object of horror, of scorn and reproach, among all the nations where I drive them.
