To Brigade Nhamedu: “I hate what you stand for, which is an outright perversion of the idea of standing up to power. Because you don’t stand up to power. You slunk away from that power, put down roots in a nice, cozy place in Europe or North America and then you attack people at festivals where they naturally don’t expect they’ll have to defend themselves.
I hate your phony crusade, and I refuse to fear what is by its nature despicable and cowardly. Neither should anyone else.”

The time is long overdue to talk about the insanity plaguing the Eritrean diaspora. And the cynically slanted, positive coverage a terrorism group gets on Western news sites. That group is called Brigade Nhamedu, and from any objective viewpoint, it’s made up of psychopaths.
I don’t make that statement lightly. But what else would you call the members of a movement that deliberately attacks people at public festivals and has provoked violent incidents in Sweden, Germany, Canada, and Israel (more on those in a bit). That treats violence as its modus operandi and celebrates it.
