His most prominent work - “Eritrea: A Dream Deferred” provides a critical analysis of how, under the PFDJ, things went woefully wrong & how the former 'liberators' turned into oppressors w/ no respect for the rule of law, human rights & religious freedom. amazon.com/Eritrea-Dream-…
Prof Gaim’s most recent work - “Eritrean National Service: Servitude for the Common & Good the Youth Exodus ” provides a critical analysis of the ENS. It details how the ENS sealed the fate of #Eritrea’s youth & led many to escape & seek asylum elsewhere for a better future.
The book provides for the first time an in-depth and critical scrutiny of the ENS's achievements and failures including its transformative & overarching impact on the social fabric of #Eritrea.
