The Eritrean people and Eritrean government don't support terrorism. Eritrea is the only country has peace in the horn. Why would the UN impose these unjust sanctions? Don't you have to have evidence to impose something like this? It's called Neocolonialism. They don't want a country like Eritrea who depend on no foreign powers to be self sufficient and an example to other African countries. This is not about national security. Eritrea has never supported terrorism. We have to speak up.

SIX DECADES OF THE SAME SONG?

In Dec. 2,1950, the UN resolution 390 (V), voted 46 to 10 to federate Eritrea with Ethiopia, against Eritreans demand for independence.

"From the point of view of justice, the opinions of the Eritrean people must receive consideration. Nevertheless, the strategic interests of the US in the Red Sea Basin and considerations of security and world peace make it necessary that Eritrea be linked with our ally, Ethiopia".

John F. Dulles,

US Secretary of State

@BahreNeGash The most famous cases of enforced disappearances are the members of the PFDJ ruling council who were arrested on September 18, 2001-the G-15-and the hundreds of other government officials and journalists who were detained alongside them. Eleven of the G-15 are still in incommunicado detention. Dozens more have been detained since. The level of paranoia by the government has reached such a level that, “people who present no risk to the security of the state are regularly persecuted.”

Just like the 190 UN resolution FAILED to force Eritreans to live under Ethiopian conquest, so will the 2010 UN resolution will FAIL to force Eritrans to succumb to the UN mafia.

ERITREAN NEVER SUCCUMB TO THE UN or ANYONE ELSE. Case closed.

Al qaeda attempted to attack Eritrea years ago. Eritrea fought back and notified The US... They did nothing, soon after 9-11 happened. Its clear that Eritrea does NOT support terrorism! No one is dying due to the government in Eritrea; as a matter of fact, look up the crime rates (use American statistics if you don't believe me) They reported that Eritrea has EXTREMELY low crime rates which would prove that the people are more than satisfied with the Gov. The Sanctions need to be removed TODAY!
