Hello Dehai,
If I may piggy back on Sammy G's article about Jeremy Clarke of Reuter posing an ethical question to the mining companies reps who are operating in Eritrea, allow me also to add a section of an artilce posted on Dehai News earlier, which exposes the unethical nature of those who crafted, sponsored and voted for the shameful UN sanction against Eritrea.
In an article titled "Yemen: Deja Vu All Over Again" (Washington, DC: Foreign Policy In Focus,
January 13, 2010), Phyllis Bennis wrote the following paragraph about Yemen, which I believe identically exposes the recent shameful act by the UN against Eritera:
"For poor and weak countries on the Council, the United States offered new
economic assistance, access to cheap Saudi oil, and crucially, military aid
packages to governments long denied such support because of civil wars
and/or widespread corruption and repression in their countries. So the
governments of Colombia, Ethiopia, and Zaire all took their kickbacks and
voted yes. For China, which had threatened to veto the war-backing
resolution, the Bush administration offered diplomatic rehabilitation and
the resumption of long-term development aid, both of which had been cut in
the aftermath of the Tiananmen Square massacre the year before. China
abstained."
Furthermore, Bennis exposes their mentality on how they want to punish those who vote "no" to their evil scheme; "Yemen voted no. And no sooner had the Yemeni ambassador, Abdullah al-Ashtal, put down his hand, then a U.S. diplomat moved to his side,
telling him 'that will be the most expensive vote you ever cast."
How can JUSTICE prevail when the Judge is both the jury and the executioner???

"...But some observers argue there is now an ethical obligation on the part of these companies..."
Jeremy Clarke of Reuters should be ashamed of posing ethical questions to the mining company reps who are operating inside Eritrea. His questions are better fit to the special interest groups who are hell-bent on starving, weakening and isolating Eritrea into submission. Eritreans know, for example, neo-colonialists bribed AU, IGAD and UN in voting into a ridiculous lie. Eritrea did not send troops, Ethiopia did. Eritrea did not send weapons, USA did. The so-called "U.N Monitoring Report" lied on all these and more.
Jeremy Clarke fails miserably on exposing the pure lies on which the sanctions were based. Just like much of Western reporters, he excels on threading the lazy, worn-out path of regurgitating lies and spreading the special interest groups’ propaganda.
As long as Western reporters continue the less-traveled road called ethnical journalism & investigative reporting, the voice of the truth will continue to be muzzled. This is the real crime on ethics.
Eritreans should fight this lies by:
- Buying mining shares operating INSIDE Eritrea
- Paying their 2% taxes ON TIME
- Not trusting ANY news that comes out on Eritrea/mining & remittance unless Eritrean government substantiates it
- Exposing the true ethical crime of sanctioning Eritrea
