Eritrea UN Security Council Sanction on Decmber 5 Adopting resolution 2023 (2011), under Chapter VII of the Charter, by a vote of 13 in favour to none against, with 2 abstentions (China, Russian Federation), the Council demanded that Eritrea cease all direct or indirect efforts to destabilize States, and decided that States shall "undertake appropriate measures to promote the exercise of vigilance" in business dealings with Eritrea's mining sector. To that end, it requested its Sanctions Committee concerning Somalia and Eritrea to draft, with the assistance of the Somalia/Eritrea Monitoring Group, due diligence guidelines for States' optional use.

The Council also condemned Eritrea's use of the "diaspora tax" on the Eritrean diaspora to destabilize the Horn of Africa region and to violate the sanctions regime, including by procuring arms and related materiel for transfer to armed opposition groups, and decided that Eritrea shall cease those practices. It further decided that Eritrea shall stop using extortion, threats of violence, fraud and other illicit means to collect taxes outside of Eritrea from its nationals or other individuals of Eritrean descent.

By further terms of the text, the Council expressed its intention to apply targeted sanctions against individuals and entities that meet the listing criteria set out in paragraph 15 of resolution 1907 (2009) and paragraph 1 of resolution 2002 (2011). [Together, those resolutions imposed an arms embargo, as well as a travel ban and assets freeze on Eritrea's political and military leaders, and expanded the sanctions regime to include individuals and entities recruiting or using child soldiers in Somalia's armed conflicts, and targeting civilians or committing attacks against schools and hospitals.]

By today's text, the Council also decided to expand the mandate of the Monitoring Group to monitor and report on the provisions of the new text, as well as its demand that Eritrea make available information regarding the Djiboutian combatants missing in action since 10 to 12 June 2008.

Eritrea is one of the best friends of Al-Shabaab, an organization that openly admits that it is affiliated to Al Qaida. Numerous killings and kidnappings of innocent people and widespread destruction of property in Ethiopia, in Uganda and in Kenya have been committed by groups that are trained, armed and instructed by the Eritrean regime.

ERITREA, THE YOUNG NATION DETERMINED TO FLY ON IT'S OWN WINGS NEVER FAILS TO LIVE UP TO IT'S OWN IDEALS.

You know there is an article stating that it was a lie. The real terrorrists are America, Israel, and UN for invading and killing people in the middle east for oil. The truth is Eritrea is independent and the western world does not want it. Economy grows so do price, the more Africa is, the cheaper the labor. Everyone know that 9/11 was an inside job, scientists stated that it was impossible for it to happen so fast.Wiki leaks has video of soldiers killing civilians, people are getting tired

60 YEARS OF THE SAME OLD MUSIC.

In Dec, 2,1950 res. 390, the UN voted 46 to 10 to federate Eritrea with Ethiopia, against the Eritrean People's 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 United States in the Red Sea Basin and considerations of security and world peace make it necessary that Eritrea be linked with our ally, Ethiopia".
