Everything You Are Not Supposed to Know about Eritrea: Part 1-2-3
17/05/2014
Interview of Mohamed Hassan
By Grégoire Lalieu and Michel Collon / June 30th, 2010
The Horn of Africa is one of the deadliest regions on that continent, rent
by incessant warfare, famine and poverty … These are images familiar to
everyone. But few people know that Eritrea considers it possible to escape
from this vicious circle, to resolve its conflicts through negotiation and
to attain a high level of development. This would be something to
celebrate. Yet, in the eyes of the international community, Eritrea is a
pariah state, the subject of UN Security Council accusations! In what way
does this country, which nobody speaks about, threaten western powers?
Mohamed Hassan reveals everything we are not supposed to know about Eritrea.

gGrégoire Lalieu & Michel Collon: Is it true that Eritrea is the source of
all the violence taking place in the Horn of Africa? This is what the UN
Security Council seems to think since it has recently voted to impose
sanctions on that country. Eritrea has been accused of providing arms to
the Somali rebels.
Mohamed Hassan: These sanctions result from a campaign of lies aimed at
destabilising the Eritrean government. There has been an embargo on
providing arms to Somalia since 1992; international experts are in place to
control the situation, and every armament today has a serial number which
allows its origin to be traced. In spite of all these provisions, the
Security Council has no more evidence of this alleged arms traffic that it
had of the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq! And once again
it is Washington you find behind the campaign of lies. As a matter of fact
even the US joint Secretary of State for African Affairs, Johnny Carson
doesn’t believe it. The truth, he has explained, is that Somalia has been
at war for 20 years and is flooded with armaments. Anybody can buy or sell
them on the black market. The Somalis don’t need to go to Eritrea to obtain
their supplies………………..
