Selam Seb Dehai:
Such statements made to clarify the gaffes or the lapsus of the Israeli ambassador to Ethiopia is well received ...Well,let such formal exchanges be left to the official circles. Well, the rest of us in the Hafash/conscious masses/ may have no other comments except to say SO WHAT?..SO WHAT!
And do we need to elaborate? Suffice to quote just a paragraph from the latest statement by the MoI under the title."History and Time Will Set the Record Straight"

Human trafficking and cross-border activity and its mafia networks
As it is well-known, migration to those so-called "heaven countries" with the related various causes has become a common practice. Coupled with such a scenario of migration, there exist embassies, intelligence and security agencies, UN and non-governmental bodies that get involved in human trafficking activities through expanding networks in Ethiopia, Sudan, Yemen, Egypt, Libya, Israel, Italy, UK and others under the sponsorship
of western intelligence agencies.
>>
On various instances,Eritreans have seen many balloons thrown at them. Regardless of the motivations of the said Ambassador acting out like the former "US" ambassador to Ethiopia David Shinn, many of us within the Hafash have nothing to add or subtract to such statements. SO WHAT!!
Awet nHafash!

In his statement about Eritrea, the Ambassador of Israel in Ethiopia
exceeded his authority and position.

its position, which desires a peaceful solution to the conflicts in the Horn
