I was early, so she offered me a drink of tea. A young girl in her late teens, she spoke almost perfect English. I asked her what her job was. "I haven't really been assigned a position yet," she replied. "I've only been here three months. I've come from Ethiopia. I'm one of the deportees." It's a familiar story these days in Asmara. More than 53,000 Eritreans or Ethiopians of Eritrean origin have been expelled from Ethiopia since the border conflict between the two countries erupted in May last year. The explanation given by the Ethiopian government is that these people are spies. Many in Eritrea find this hard to understand given that mothers and children have been taken from their homes at night and put on buses to the border. "What about your family?" I asked. "They're all still in Addis, apart from my brother who was deported with me," she explained. I asked Alem if she had been able to contact them, and she shook her head sadly. That, too, is common. It is difficult for letters to get through, and there is no direct telephone link, so calls are re-routed expensively via other countries. "I've never even visited Eritrea till now. I was born in Ethiopia." There are thousands like Alem in Eritrea. When refugees flee Kosovo, the Democratic Republic of Congo or Rwanda it is news, but for the past nine months there has been a sustained silence about the deportations from Ethiopia both from the press and the international community. Amnesty International finally published a report highlighting the situation in January, and confirming what is common knowledge here in Eritrea - that it is one-sided. Ethiopians have left Eritrea voluntarily either because there is now no work for them, or because they did not wish to stay in a country with which they were at war. We waited in vain for the international community to respond, but the silence has continued. Now as I stroll up and down the main palm-tree-lined avenue in Asmara in the evenings, it's easy to spot the deportees. Most of the Eritrean youth are at the war front, so the well-dressed groups of young men and women drinking coffee together in the modern bars are from Ethiopia. They speak Tigrinya, the Eritrean language, to each other, but I know others who only speak Amharic, the Ethiopian language. Even though there are similarities, it's doubly difficult for those who do not know the language. Some have been expelled whose families have been in Ethiopia two or three generations. Ethiopia is their home and they never expected to return to Eritrea. In addition the shared culture between the two countries has made intermarriage common. I know people who have had to leave Ethiopian spouses and children behind. It is this splitting up of families that the Eritreans find so hard to forgive. It's too early to say what effect the deportees will have on Eritrea. It only has a population of 3.5m, so an influx of 53,000 people is significant. Many may have aspirations that Eritrea cannot yet fulfil: it has only been independent for seven years and there is still much to be done. Yet despite the strain such a huge number of people has placed on the fledgling infrastructure of Eritrea they have been welcomed. The extended family has shown its strength as deportees have found temporary homes with relatives. Many have been employed by the government. Many are highly qualified, and Ethiopia's loss is seen by some as Eritrea's long-term gain. But this is small comfort to Alem. For her, there is continued anxiety about the rest of her family. Will they be deported too? If they want to come, will they be allowed to leave? Will they be allowed to take any property or money with them? Ethiopia has been selling off the property and businesses of deportees. "Have you ever been to Addis?" she asked me wistfully. I told her that I spent about two days there a couple of years ago. "Is that all?" was her response, and I could see she was homesick for her family, friends and way of life, all broken up by this senseless policy.
