- In his native Eritrea, Dr. Berhane Asmelash was a military doctor who treated soldiers on both sides of the brutal war with Ethiopia that spanned much of the last two decades.
Despite his service, he was arrested and tortured for nearly a year for the crime of leading a Christian congregation in a country without freedom of religion or expression. He witnessed his fellow prisoners taken away for extrajudicial killings.
After seeking asylum in the UK, he is now a Church of England vicar and works to help Christians still being persecuted by the brutal regime, watching on as the situation becomes more and more dire in the wake of the Tigray War.
Correction : June 23, 2021
An earlier version of this video showed footage of the Eritrean-Ethiopian War (1998-2000) when referencing the present Tigray War.

I mean, Eritrea is one of the worst places to be on Earth with some of the best people. But that doesn't mean that situations that are a bit better aren't persecution.
What you are watching is from 1998 whatever they are saying about the country is a lie. Just visited this country a year ago.
Its fake news created by the pro tplf groups to tarnish the image Eritrea and Eritrean government. For example the video footage used from 9:12 to 9:18 is from 23 years ago when the tplf/ ethiopian forces killed ERITREAN civilians in badme and deda. They used it here the other way round false false false. fake news
Most of people comenting here do not know Eritrea it seems. When i see those coments I am confused wether you are talking about Eritrea my country or another Eritrea. Eritrea is not heaven but it is not like you portray it here. It all started in 1997 when a war broke between eri and Ethiopia because of a peace of land which was awarded to eritrea by international court in 2002. But the land stayed with Ethiopia despite the verdict. It was no peace no war between the two countries for 20 years. Eritrean youths werr forced to stay in military because anytime the war coud break again. Mind you the population in Ethiopia is more than 100million while Eritrea population is barely 5million. So all young people must stay in military indefinitely untill the issue is resolved. Its natural the country would want to defend itself. The young people also also want to work live a normal live. So the dilema comes here between a government wanting to defend the country and the people wanting to live a better live. And now I want to aske everone commenting here if ypur country was in the same situation what would you do? I blame the TPLF for starinf the war, not abiding by international court and turning our life miserable before I point my finger to the goverment. And to the fellow Etitreans why have you failed to ask why badme was not handed to Eritrea as promised by the court untill dr Abey come.
Infantilism!

One of the biggest problems is people impersonating as ethnic Eritreans who support the government and it's important to acknowledge that majority of the people in authority positions in the Eritrean government are not Eritreans. The system of power has been in play even during the war of independence to prevent ethnic Eritreans to live in their own land in peace.
Isais has to go. He has brought so much suffering to his people. My wife is Eritrean and I have seen how much people suffer because they are refugees in other countries due to Eritrean dictator.
Who are you? Papagallo!
Why the f, is the background music always louder than the talking of the people ...
We Eritreans had a dream!
A dream that we could build our country.
We had an idea.
An Idea that after 30 years of fighting, we would be the Singapore of Africa.
Never have I thought that Eritrea would turn into a dictatorship.
Never did I think that the Eritrean EPLF heroes would go to jail in 2001.

@@hizbawiginbarginbarghinda3872 either you don’t anything about Eritrea, except that you heard from Eritv or you are denying the truth. Coz what I heard is not a lie coz I left the country recently and I know a lot similar cases.
We also in Nigeria are having this problem with Buhari ad his Fulani foreign tribe. Stay Strong Eritrea.
You are taking your country for granted
Your country is a democratic state. Every four years you have elections. Olisigon abasango is a yourba man, was a president visted eritrea i remember. Good luck jonathan is a igbo man form the east was a president. Buhari hausa man from the north. At least you have elections and you see different faces from different tribes ruling the country. You have different local medias tv stations and so on. But some biafrans want to have their own country biafra land in the s.east. thats why under nmadi kanu they engage compromising nigerias image outside. So compare eritreas problem with nigeria is sensless
@@KO-oj1ty First, you are not a Nigerian, so you do not know why we are not pleased, with the situation, Secondly, Jonathan is not an Igbo or Ibo, he is an Ijaw. Thirdly Nigeria is experiencing Genocide's that is under reported and terrorism backed by the state, such that that borders on the south are closed, the president tribes men want all land for themselves and threaten the other tribes, with killings, and actually kill hundreds to thousands every week. A president who does not respect human right to free speech and assembly, who wants his tribe to be in power perpetually, by putting the mechanism in place. We have seen far, this is why we are agitating, not only Biafrans, the Yoruba's are also agitating for their Nations. Which is Legitimate since the Nigeria State is a British contraption, Do you know how many Biafrans where killed in The Nigerian Civil war, and the genocide's that occurred, and how they are always oppressed and do you know that now, not only the Biafrans are being killed in hundreds and thousand. So are we suppose to keep quiet and look on while this government keeps committing atrocities.
@@solutions9991 ok so jonathan is not igbo but he is from the south and obasanjo from the west youruba tribe. Buhari came with elections just like jonathan and obasanjo, and he cant compete in the next elections. Secondly, if u r saying no freedom of speech i know the nigerian medias very well, as for twitter ban, it is a correct descion becouse who are they those twitter to decide what is right or wrong. They interfer in the internal matters of countries which is not allowed. The civil war back in the 60s cost alot of lives, those who want the country back in this situation , were not born and never saw the suffering of ppl at that time. Attacking police stations , looting, endengering the harmong and coexistence of people, do you expect any govermnt of any country in the world will see it and do nothing about it. Ppl are dying in the south and north as well. African countries all of our borders were drawn by the colonial powers not only nigeria so its not unique to you.
@@KO-oj1ty So are you okay with how the colonial exploiter came to Africa and decided what is your Nation and how you should live, don't you know that what the colonial exploiters created is for the benefit of the colonial countries, not for the people, before the colonial exploiters came to Africa, we had our kingdoms and we lived in more stability, and it was for our benefit. No African has gone to Europe and told them who they are and how to live. We know our own Nationalities in Nigeria, so we deserve to restore it back, without the permission of anybody, self determination is an international right.
Misinformation about Africa has become a growth industry in the West. A vocabulary of metaphors is used in describing Africa. For example, “black on black violence” is a euphemism the Western press used in writing about South Africa in the 1980s, yet British journalists do not report on “white on white violence” when reporting the conflict in Northern Ireland.
Most Westerners have never visited Africa and may never visit the continent. Yet there is a particular image of Africa in the Western mind. When one is asked to think of Western images that come to mind when thinking of Africa, the overall mental images are of primeval irrationality, tribal anarchy, hunger/famine, civil war, managerial ineptitude, political instability, flagrant corruption and incompetent leadership. Do your research... dont let medias become your source. Dont forget the media can be bought and they have there own agenda.

The effort and time they waste to accuse each other is un imaginable. They fled a brutal government but if they come to power they will be uglier than isaias. Such people until they learn to change their narrow tribal mindset, they will continue to suffer.

Much respect for vice
Eritrean government doesn’t allow foreign interference under the guise of religion.
It's going to be interesting when Afwerki dies. Will there be revolution? Or will the uprising be silenced by the government? My father's from here, he will tell you that it's more the latter. Eritreans fought 30 years against an oppressive regime only to be ruled by another totalitarian government. It's sad, but I have hope for Eritrea that they will free themselves from the chains.
The people are capable of overthrowing the dictator, but it’s not about him, if the government is weak structurally and militarily it’s put in risk of being occupied by foreign forces. Eritrea has to many enemies, recently peace between Ethiopia Djibouti Sudan and Somalia was signed now only a group called Tplf needs to be removed or else they will remove Eritrea from the map.
Vice the grave that you shows is Amhara grave who have been killed by TPLF in MYKADRA not Eritrea Eritrean government.

Vennuse, the masacar video you mentioned happened in Tigray right now was inccorect information. The video has shown us was committed by TPLF regime in 1998 during the border war of Ethiopia and Eritrea. Please do not lie reliable document is essential when reported.

You never heard it before b/c it is lie. What VICE showed you is paid job...Ads!
The main problem we have in the country is there are some people, like the one who is saying this is a lie, are supporting the dictator. The sad truth is most of them live abroad and they visit the country just for 2-3 months. I left Eritrea in 2012. I was born and raised their. I left the country when I was 31 years old. I have seen a lot and I myself was arrested in 2001 when I was a university student, not only me, all the student from freshmen to those we were ready to graduate. We were arrested cos we demanded the release of the students Union president who was under arrest back then because we stood for the right of the students. Two student died there.
You can’t peaceful protest or express your opposite to the president( by the way, he has been in power since 1991 and he wasn’t elected by the people).

@@SummerRenaissance I would support her is she wasnt a TPLF supporter. Can't support our enemies.
If You want rule over eritreans or over habesha you must be a raw dictator , that is a fact that every body know . Even most individual eritrean are dictators but we love to push each other down then When we got owned by our opponents we cry to strangers for compation , that is sad.

Bullshit 😂

He left the country 20 years ago but talk with such conviction as if he is an eye witness.

@@davidbasset7557 Well y'all aren't to bright what he is saying is both sides are the same to him 'brothers' he doesn't mean he literally knows the people. 'Both are my brothers we speak the same language' 09:47

Eritrea is doing good in Tigray. They need to continue.
@@user-qy6tu9ip9v stay out of Eritrean affairs.... this matter doesn't concerns you raw meat eater
I glad vice report it
In Zimbabwe they atleast let you leave
Do they? And so does Eritrea.Contrary to Zambabwe Eritrea is not a primitive tribal racist country.. It is a self reliant resilient nation.
@@hizbawiginbarginbarghinda3872 self reliant in what way wake up to the truth that country has completely nothing but new prisons being built to imprison his own people You must have suffered a lot of trauma to still be supporting this brutal dictator. Eritrea is one of the poorest countries in Africa you dictator ha Adobe nothing but cripple Eritrea. So stop all this self reliant talk is that why people are running away and would rather die then stay in Eritrea trying to cross the Red Sea. People like you have too much pride for nothing.

KEDAMI AGAME GAME OVER!
Nipsey Hustle the Rapper was from Eritrea. U.S. put a hit on him and a jealous black man carried it out. Any Nation supported by a regime is enslaved.
He was half Eritrean
@@JohnSmith-vj2mc he was taught the ways of his eritrean people. Your point?
One word answer: Carefully...
Every religion is accepted in Eritrea unless you dont Try their authority
the struggle started in 1961 by Idris Awate. how the hell u gonna mistake like that?😅
The saddest part is majority of the older generation Eritreans still have strong support for this brutal regime. Many of whom have lost a family member fighting alongside the President Isaias for their independence from Ethiopia and the still worship Isaias Afwerki for his past heroics despite he’s the reason for the death, disappearance, incarceration, forced indefinite conscription of hundreds of thousands of Eritreans. And the old generation who reside in western countries raise their children drilling this idea that Isaias is the savior of Eritrea and without him it will fall apart, so even the kids who are born and raised in the west enjoying democracy & freedom continue to stand with this brutal regime while their relatives in Eritrea have to stand in line for hours to receive bread 30 years after their independence. Shame on you Eritreans born & raised in the west who support Isaias Afwerki! You are the definition of selfishness. I hope it was you in Sawa instead of those poor kids suffering in the middle of the desert
Damn.
You are wrong the arm struggle for the independence founders are ELF than our hero EPLF troops bought us our independence by defeating Derg 1991
Free Eritrea, Free Myanmar, Free Syria, Free Venezuela, Free so many JAH KNOW
