Selam Fenan Russom and Dehaiers,
Actually, the Aljazeera people made fools of themselves on embarking on
clandestine activities (hiding cameras, etc.) in order to document that there
is abject poverty in Eritrea. They were treating Eritrea as if it is North
Korea. Eritrea has always been a very, very poor nation and no body has
ever tried to hide that fact. And every body knows that the reason that
virtually all the young Eritreans that are leaving Eritrea is precisely because
of this fact and not because they want to exercise their democratic rights
in Saudi Arabia, Libya, Uganda or Angola. And any body who doesn't think
that the Eritrean government and its army is purposely tolerating this youth
flight needs to have his head examined.
In summation, let us not worry about this stupid coverage of Aljazeera.
Hiding cameras in order to document people begging or changing the voices of
Eritreans wishing to get out of Eritrea -- one of the poorest countries of
Africa -- is an oxymoron that only an ignorant and an immature person could
conceive. The Aljazeera people should be ashamed of themselves for trying
to sensationalize the deplorable conditions of Eritrea that every Eritrean
knows about and worries about and that the Eritrean government has never
attempted to hide.

Below you will find attached email sent to Al-Jazeera in response to the
program they aired on Aljazeera-TV on Sunday December 5, 2009 about
Eritrea. i encourage everyone to voice their opinion and write to Aljazeera in
regards to this Documentary.
Thanks
