Hope everyone is having a great celebration weekend,
Here is an interview on BBC radio with Information Minister Ali Abdu. He has

Eritrea has not taken kindly to the comments by the east African regional
body IGAD that it is supporting Islamist insurgents in Somalia.
At a meeting yesterday in Addis Ababa, IGAD had some harsh words for
Eritrea, and said it would recommend to the UN for sanctions to be placed on
it.
Eritrea is suspended from IGAD and could now be barred from the African
Union.
Kenya's foreign minister, Moses Wetangula accused Eritrea of arming,
training, recruiting and supplying insurgents in Somalia.
So to get Eritrea's response to these accusations, Damian Zane called up the
information minister Ali Abdu.
We voiced over his answers due to the poor telephone quality

Happy 18th year independence to all Eritreans.
