Dear mr. Merhawie,
Thank you for you email. I appreciate your concern and wish to clarify
the intent of my article and my point of view.
I did not mean to write about what Eritrea does or does not do wrong.
I was merely talking about the effects of these accusations for
Eritrea. I specifically meant to declare how Eritrea is being
pressured and isolated by the international community, disregarding
the actual truth of these accusations. I dont even necessarily claim
these accusations are true. The article was meant to explain the
consequences, whic are undoubtedly true and visible.
I hope this clarifications comforts you,
Yours sincerely,
Sim Tack

Hello Sim,
It seems that your piece (Eritrea joins the Axis of Evil) seems ill informed
and/or timed because from what I have read, particularly from AFP (
http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hQK02EDi1ttlrhQErIWDfFsPfkPQ
)
it seems that Eritrea has not supported Al Shabab to the level that the UN
accused it. Ironically it seems that Yemen and Ethiopia have. Is this a poor
reading on my part or perhaps you could explain why this is not acknowledged
in your piece.
Thank you and have a nice day.
Merhawie
