Old interviews with Isaias Afwerki (1987):
Rare Revolutionary songs like Weyno:

One can safely say that whenever most #Eritrea|n historians are chronicling our recent history, they had to refer to Aida Kidane’s channel. She provides an alternative narrative to the self-serving one pushed by #PFDJ.
Aida Kidane describes her passion as chronicling history and filming videos. And she has done a fine job at it. Thank you Aida!
